Honesty heals; lies
hurt. In these four words lives all one needs to
know and practice, that is, assuming one wishes to be whole, harmless, true and
loving.~ Guy Finley
Learn
to see and to use the presence of any psychological pain as an invitation to
reprioritize your present values. Initiate this invaluable exchange by
realizing the following truth, and then dare to act upon its inevitable
conclusion: Whatever you may be identified with -- and, as a consequence, that
you now fear losing -- could never have been the path to freedom
that it promised to be. ~ Guy Finley
The path is ours to
choose: we can meet life understanding that our True Self is more than whatever
may be changing around or within us; or we can walk through life dreaming,
darkly, that these changes themselves have the power to make of us something
more -- or less -- as determined by our conditioned predilections towards what
should, or shouldn't change for us. The first path leads to a life free of
fear; the latter to a ceaseless fearful struggle with life.~ Guy Finley
The
sooner we see the secret relationship between how certain we are over what we
think we know, and the extent of our suffering over the same, the sooner we
will realize the true liberation that comes only with winning freedom from the
known..~ Guy Finley
Talking to yourself
proves only one thing: you're still unable to tell the difference between good
and bad company! ~ Guy Finley
Guy Finley (born 1949)
is an American self-help
writer, philosopher, and spiritual teacher, and former professional songwriter
and musician. By the early 1980s, Finley's search for spiritual awakening had
led him back to the United States where he became a devoted student of
spiritual teacher Vernon
Howard at the New Life Foundation in Boulder City, Nevada. In the
early 1990s, with Howard's encouragement, he
began a new career as an author of spiritual guidance books. His teachings,
like those of Howard, draw from many different
spiritual traditions and philosophies including: Christian mysticism, various
Eastern philosophies, Fourth Way
and Jungian psychology.
