If we're interested in spiritual things, we gradually realize that what we really need is to understand this nature that seems to be a bottomless basket, because there is no peace in it.
Guy Finley
Image
It's important for us to become aware of the fact that we are needful, for with that awareness also comes the sensing that we couldn't be needful if there weren't something to fulfill the need.
Guy Finley
Image
Most people would rather complain about some painful life pattern than dare to meet the level of their own consciousness responsible for its repeated appearance... and therein do the work needed to change it once and for all.
Guy Finley
Image
Once something has outlived its usefulness in one area of life, its purpose for being in existence is no longer the same. The leaf that captures a stream of sunlight, and then transfers its energy to the tree, serves one purpose in the spring and summer, and another completely different one through the fall and winter.

No condition outside ourselves can create a rut or trap us in it. It's impossible.
Guy Finley
Image
The strength of any weakness within us is the degree to which it is feared.

Make it your moment-to-moment aim to recognize the difference between being aware of your thoughts, and being carried along by them.
Guy Finley

It's a paradox of the true spiritual path, but the more conscious we become of what limits us, the more limitless becomes our life.

The belief that you have no choice but to keep suffering through whatever frightens you is like believing you have to hold onto a scalding cup so that you won't spill your coffee!
Guy Finley
Image
Staying present, living in Presence is the best gift anyone can give to those they love.
Guy Finley
Image
Any form of measuring yourself by the unkind action of another towards you is like looking into a badly fractured mirror... and then blaming yourself for the shattered image you see therein.
Guy Finley
Image
What you don't want to know about yourself wants to be known, which is why it keeps 'showing up' at your door unannounced!
Guy Finley
Image
Letting go, at its heart, is an act of agreement with Life.
Guy Finley
Image
Fearlessness comes with the birth of this new understanding: The only reason life changes as it does is to reveal the secret Goodness underlying those same changes.
Guy Finley
Image
The limit of your present understanding is not the limit of your possibilities.
Guy Finley
Image
All created forms are fractal, as is their purpose, use, and allotted time for existence.
Guy Finley
Image
Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself... then your love is incomplete.

Statistics vary, but in less than seven years there won't be a single cell left in any of our bodies that's the same as it is today. This means that any human being who 'wants' to change is like a mountain river wanting to reach the valley floor. It's a done deal that's what mountain rivers do, and 'changing' should be our first nature.

Image
Trying to change ourselves in order to please others - so that we can feel temporarily whole for having won their approval - is like cutting a flower into pieces so that it will fit into a vase.

Only you can choose the nature of what grows, or what doesn't, within you.
