LIFE OF LEARNING CENTER FOR SPIRITUAL DISCOVERY.
GUY FINLEY: Be Still; quietly remember the presence of and within oneself, and you will know, without thinking, that while all around you everything changes, wishin you lives something unchanging.
All we will ever know and share about love, humility, compassion and sacrifice — the secrets that will reveal and then resolve old sorrows — awaits us within ourselves.
BEING FULLY PRESENT IS THE BEST GUARANTEE FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE.
The limit of your present understanding is not the limit of your possibilities.
It only seems that there is something more important for you to do that to just quietly be yourself.
Real change isn’t found in some new way to think about yourself but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.
The deepest parts of you know that if freedom from fear was as easy as ‘creating a new reality’ for yourself then you would already be the fearless person you know in your heart that you’re meant to be.
THE STRENGTH OF ANY WEAKNESS WITHIN US IS THE DEGREE TO WHICH IT IS FEARED.
It isn’t something of which most of us are aware but we human beings are ‘marked’ with a certain strange feature and that is: We want to change.
The mistake we have made in our lives is that over and over again we’ve run into the needful moment and then failed to learn its higher lesson. We don’t like needful moments and therefore we resist them.
The path to the inwardly enriched life is not hidden from the man or woman who longs to walk upon it.
ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE TO WHOM THE GOOD IS ALL THINGS.
It is 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.
In these times — where social appearance is more important than spiritual substance — what has become our longing to change is really the unconscious desire to control not just the shape of our bodies (according to prevailing values) but to dominate our environment as well — regardless of the cost.
When it comes to the fearless life, the divine gives nothing freely . . . save to those who freely give themselves to discovering the truth about their own fearless selves.
