Key Lesson: Allowing anything to eat at you -- by consenting to sit at the 'table of torment' -- serves nothing... save the dark and hungry ghost of some past pain that lives only to consume negative energy. . . . more >> Guy's Blog: 2/3/12 One Mountain, Twin Valleys Posted on 2/3/12 First, he wears out pleasure, Then, he wears out pain... At last his eyes see truly . . . more >> Q&A: The Search for a True Calling Posted on 2/3/12 I have been soul searching for my 'true calling' in life for several years now. I feel that I can have a huge impact on people but I just don't know exactly what it is I should be doing. How do I tap into what God wants me to do? I feel there is so much inside of me that wants to come out and help others. . . . more >> Audio (56 min): 1/29/12 An Invitation to See Holy Posted on 2/2/12 Classroom talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 1/29/12.

Topics covered: There are two choices in any moment -- explanation or revelation; All thought has the same volume, but the pressure behind thought can vary; We live entirely from our external senses; 99.9% of thinking is passive; Real command of anything is found by dying to the part of you that would command it. . . . more >> Audio (40 min): 1/20/12 Stop Throwing Yourself Into the Mud!

Topics covered: The kingdom of heaven is within but we continue to search in all the wrong places; We have a need for love because a great Love lives within us and wants us to find it there; We do not have our own will; To reject anything that happens in life is to reject something of the celestial; Tolerating differences in others is not the same as understanding we're not different; We keep trying to protect our little story instead of engaging with life's larger one; Life isn't trying to take things from us, God is trying to give things to us . . . more >> Audio (20 min): 11/13/11 Interview hosted by Psychic Suzanna Posted on 1/30/12 Interview on Life with Psychic Suzanna on 11/13/11. Topics covered: Every new thought is already hidden in our consciousness; We have forgotten that we are an ocean, this inlet into a divine intelligence; We are born to be seekers, to know the depth and breadth of our own possibilities given to us by the Divine; A limitation is not a punishment but an invitation to discover that we are never inadequate; You cannot resist and learn at the same time . . . more >> Audio (8 min): 1/15/12 Liberate Yourself From Your Self Posted on 1/30/12 Short talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 1/15/12. . . . more >> Video (29 min): 1/7/12 Three Words to Overcome Any Fear Posted on 1/28/12 The Masters Channel series with Guy Finley recorded at Life of Learning Foundation on 1/7/12.

Key Lesson: You cannot do the work of starting life over, and be busy reliving your past at the same time. Being new is a deliberate choice, an act of alignment that places you in conscious contact with a living presence that's incapable of repeating itself. . . . more >> Guy's Blog: 1/26/12 An Invitation to See Holy Posted on 1/26/12 Standing at the window -- always looking outside of yourself -- it's easy to forget that you're also standing inside the house given to you by your Father. There is no shelter outside; all distant castles . . . more >> Video (56 min): 1/14/12 Saturday Q&A with Guy Finley Posted on 1/25/12 Saturday video Q&A with Guy Finley recorded at Life of Learning Foundation on 1/14/12.

Key Lesson: One sure way to guarantee that you'll continue rushing through the present moment is to cling to the false belief that you can escape unwanted thoughts and feelings by trying to run away from them. . . . more >> Audio (57 min): 1/18/12 The Evolution of Darkness Posted on 1/23/12 Classroom talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 1/18/12.

Key Lesson: The repetition of patterns, even painful ones, is a form of safety to the sleeping mind because therein it can rest -- within the continuation of the known -- even when it doesn't like being there! . . . more >> Audio (62 min): 1/11/12 Choose Self-Integration Over 'Destination' Posted on 1/16/12 Classroom talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 1/11/12. Key Lesson: The only way it's possible -- psychologically speaking -- to have the painful experience of feeling like someone, or something is standing between you and your happiness, is if you are inwardly divided. . . . more >> Audio (48 min): 1/6/12 Kick These Bums Out of Your Life Posted on 1/15/12 Classroom talks given by Students of Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 1/6/12. Key Lesson: Since you would never willingly allow someone else to denigrate your name -- or otherwise call you something ugly -- then why do you accept within you the painful presence of some dark unseen character that likes to do the same? . . . more >> Audio (44 min): 12/30/11 Start Giving Yourself a Brighter Tomorrow Posted on 1/15/12 Classroom talks given by Students of Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/30/11. Key Lesson: Your best possible guarantee for a brighter tomorrow is found within the dedicated inner work you do today to welcome the Light of higher self-understanding. . . . more >> Audio (5 min): 1/8/12 Use All Stressful Moments to Transform Yourself Posted on 1/14/12 Short talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 1/8/12. . . . more >> Audio (60 min): 1/8/12 Release Yourself From Useless Resistance Posted on 1/12/12 Classroom talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 1/8/12. Key Lesson: Resistance recreates and then reinstates whatever it opposes, including the sleeping level of self that tries, in vain, to escape the pain of the opposing forces that created it. . . . more >> Video (32 min): 12/31/11 Start Flying Above the Storms of Life Posted on 1/11/12 The Masters Channel series with Guy Finley recorded at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/31/11. In this program Guy discusses how the only thing that comes between you and the peace, strength, and happiness you long for is what you have yet to understand about yourself. . . . more >> Q&A: Change the World Around You by Awakening to the World Within You Posted on 1/9/12 I find little comment on your website regarding political action or defense from immediate physical threats. The message seems to be that resistance or effort to promote a change in a perceived problem is counter-productive and only prolongs the issue. Where does one draw the line (if at all) when perceived attacks are repeated or increased? Are any political involvements valid? . . . more >> Audio (59 min): 1/4/12 Start Taking Complete Command of Yourself Posted on 1/9/12 Classroom talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 1/4/12. Key Lesson: On any battlefield, a good general always wants command of the higher ground because he knows it leads to victory. In (our) spiritual battles, being one with the higher ground is the victory. . . . more >> Audio (56 min): 1/1/12 Open the Gates and Let God's Life Pour In Posted on 1/6/12 Classroom talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 1/1/12. Key Lesson: Negative self-talk -- turning on yourself with a vengeance -- seems to prove the presence of an innocent 'you' -- someone (who is) superior to the inferior character you condemn (in yourself). But hating and berating yourself is actually the avoidance of seeing yourself as you are in that moment. All forms of dark dialogue serve an unconscious and divided level of self whose purpose is to create the illusion that there's a difference between the judge, and the judged. There is not; they are one and the same... Which explains, in part, the timeless teaching, 'Judge not that ye be not judged.' . . . more >> Guy's Blog: 1/5/12 Everything You Need to Know About The Dark Night of the Soul Posted on 1/5/12 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. Its form first appears as an agent of conversion that collects sunlight, helping to feed the tree; and then, as it dies and falls to the earth, it is . . . more >> Audio (4 min): 12/23/11 See Through This Unseen Form of Impatience Posted on 1/4/12 Short talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/23/11. . . . more >> Audio (46 min): 12/23/11 Release Yourself From the Unseen Source of Painful Impatience Posted on 1/4/12 Classroom talks given by Students of Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/23/11. Key Lesson: The pain of impatience doesn't exist without some unseen level of self, already in place, that secretly demands events must take place precisely as it has imagined they should. . . . more >> Audio (3 min): 12/18/11 Self-Healing Begins as Self-Hurting Ends Posted on 1/4/12 Short talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/18/11. . . . more >> Audio (60 min): 12/25/11 Awakening a New Meaning to Life Posted on 1/2/12 Classroom talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/25/11. Key Lesson: As surely as the beauty and fragrance of summer's first rose waits in the silence of her still dormant seed, within me sleeps the eternal flowering of (what) I am. . . . more >> Audio (8 min): 12/18/11 Keys to Conquer All Goliaths in Your Life Posted on 12/31/11 Short talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/18/11. . . . more >> Guy's Blog: 12/30/11 Your Muddy Nature Wants You to Play in It! Posted on 12/30/11 An email came into the Foundation from a student who -- after listening to a class discussion (the informal dialogue we have following our Saturday lunch each week)-- had a negative reaction to a comment made about the need (in this work) for an individual to have 'well developed personality.' What follows is the response I had sent to this person. It's posted here because it seemed best that all should have a chance to read it. . . . more >> Audio (55 min): 12/21/11 Make the Mountain of Me Disappear Posted on 12/30/11 Classroom talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/21/11. Key Lesson: The true purpose of any troublesome "mountain" that seems to appear out of nowhere -- standing directly between us and what we want -- isn't to make us into better climbers, or even to somehow claim its summit; such barriers exist for a single reason: to help us see that no impassable "mountain" exists apart from the unconscious mind that creates it. . . . more >> Audio (1 min): 12/18/11 The Birth of True Compassion Posted on 12/28/11 Short talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/18/11. . . . more >> Q&A: End the Suffering Over Painful Moments Posted on 12/28/11 I suffer over being unable to change painful moments. I fear they will become worse and I won't have the 'power' to make things right even though I recognize that . . . more >> Audio (2 min): 12/2/11 A Glimpse of Forever Posted on 12/28/11 Short talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/2/11. . . . more >> Audio (3 min): 12/2/11 Giving Birth to the Living Work Posted on 12/28/11 Short talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/2/11. . . . more >> Audio (55 min): 12/18/11 Give Yourself the Greatest Gift on Earth and in Heaven Posted on 12/26/11 Classroom talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/18/11. Key Lesson: Measure the extent to which you are set against someone or something -- as in being negative toward a person or predicament -- and you know the degree to which you have forgotten what's true, and how far you have wandered away from what is holy. . . . more >> Audio (49 min): 12/17/11 Saturday discussion with Guy Finley Posted on 12/25/11 Informal discussion led by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/17/11. Topics covered: There is no 'grey area' in the spiritual world; To 're-member' yourself you must first sense yourself; Our five senses create bridges between us and the physical world, and awareness creates a bridge to the spiritual world; Judgments are superficial, impressions are deep; Thought can't see the opposites at once but awareness can; Anything that isn't immortal is in vain; The false star always rises at the point of resistance; The work brings you into a heightened state of energy where you see you are not whole; Any emotion generated by thought is a false emotion; What do you do in a moment when you're filled with hate for someone you profess to love? Bear yourself silently. . . . more >> Audio (53 min): 12/16/11 Giving Birth to the Light of True Self-Liberation Posted on 12/24/11 Classroom talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/16/11. Key Lesson: Each moment is unique; never to come again... and this includes all of our relationships as they're revealed through the celestial conditions that converge to create them. This is why our one real wish should be -- as best we're able to remember it -- to never rush through any moment of life; otherwise we lose the always new and higher possibilities inherent in its very appearance. . . . more >> Audio (41 min): 12/9/11 Nothing Makes You More Common Than This... Posted on 12/23/11 Classroom talks given by Students of Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/9/11. Key Lesson: Nothing makes us more common, more alike all that we judge, than unconsciously identifying with those thoughts and feelings that tell us we're somehow different, better than all that we see. . . . more >> Audio (2 min): 12/7/11 See the Secret Dissatisfaction in Judgment Posted on 12/23/11 Short talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/7/11. . . . more >> Audio (55 min): 12/14/11 Stop Being a 'Shore-Hugger' Posted on 12/20/11 Classroom talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/14/11. Key Lesson: The only way it's possible to outgrow our painful limitations is by awakening to -- and becoming one with -- our own higher consciousness that is, and has always been, unlimited. . . . more >> Guy's Blog: 12/19/11 Break the Chain of Unhappy Endings Posted on 12/19/11 The 'promise' of any pleasure to come is really nothing more or less than the memory of a pleasing sensation imagined as just being ahead of you; in truth, it is projected there -- onto the screen of the mind -- from somewhere out of your past. The power of these wants, and the passion of their pursuit, is all due to . . . more >> Audio (16 min): 12/10/11 Saturday discussion with Guy Finley Posted on 12/19/11 Informal discussion led by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/10/11. Topics covered: We have trouble being attentive to others because it's too uncomfortable to be a direct reflection of another human being; The deeper a relationship you're able to have with another person, the deeper a relationship you'll be able to have with God; Most of what we call emotion is sensation; Self-knowledge must turn into action; Fear is the word we use to describe the mechanical avoidance of self-discovery. . . . more >> Audio (33 min): 12/10/11 See Through These False Beliefs and Be Free Posted on 12/18/11 The Masters Channel series with Guy Finley recorded at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/10/11. In this program Guy discusses how the true freedom we seek is found not through acquiring more powers or possessions, but in understanding the nature of the 'prison' itself. . . . more >> Audio (31 min): 12/3/11 Five Words to End Any Negative State Posted on 12/17/11 The Masters Channel series with Guy Finley recorded at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/3/11. In this program Guy discusses how you don't need new 'techniques and powers' to win what your heart desires most of all. What you need to succeed is to stop believing in what is making you powerless. . . . more >> Audio (1 min): 12/4/11 Choosing Rightly is Living Brightly Posted on 12/16/11 Short talk given by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/4/11. . . . more >> Audio (54 min): 12/2/11 Get Tired of Chasing Your Own Tail! Posted on 12/16/11 Classroom talks given by Students of Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 12/2/11. Key Lesson: The divided mind -- driven by desire, as it is -- is very similar to a dog that has learned to throw its own stick. It cannot come to a rest until it has exhausted itself, and even then it can't let go of what it feels compelled to chase. . . . more >>
