Be Unstoppable: The Essential Laws of Fearless Living
In this video, we'll explore the concept that the only conflict we ever truly face is the one within us. It's not the world or the people around us, but the outdated ideas, beliefs, and identities that we cling to that keep us trapped in circles of frustration. When we recognize this, life can no longer be a battle. It becomes a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Discover the profound truth about emptiness and inner peace—one that may surprise you. The greatest obstacle to the peace of heaven isn't the world, your past, or your future—it's what you have yet to understand about yourself. In this eye-opening exploration, we uncover a deep resistance within us, the fear of losing our familiar struggles, and the rarest form of self-knowledge: realizing that we don't truly want to know the truth of ourselves...
Real peace comes when you see that neither fullness nor emptiness defines you. No more chasing or fearing -- just witnessing life as it turns, like seasons changing. Shadows aren't real, just reflections of something greater. What if the fear you run from is only your own illusion? Let go and experience the freedom beyond the mind's endless grasping.
Who is in charge when anger takes over? Guy explains that we often don't realize something else is controlling us in moments of stress or resentment, and invites us to, instead of reacting, pause and ask, "Who is in charge?" Stay with the question without rushing to answer. This awareness creates a crucial separation between our True Self and our reactive nature. Remembering this in the moment can lead to real inner freedom.
Guy Finley answers a viewer's question about the constant self-judgment we impose upon ourselves. He explains that the need we feel to "succeed" comes from an identity attached to an end goal, and when that goal isn't met, it feels like everything falls apart. Guy goes on to say that instead of trying to control the judgments...
Guy explains that the cycle of wanting doesn't end when we get what we want because the unconscious mind thrives on the sensation of itself, continuously seeking the next fulfillment. The satisfaction of desire is fleeting, and as soon as one craving is met, another arises to take its place. True freedom comes not from resisting or suppressing desires but from seeing through the illusion that wanting or not wanting can ever bring lasting peace...
Guy answers a viewer's question about giving up anger and self-judgment when a friend shuts you out. Discover ways to navigate relationships with understanding and compassion. We spend so much time measuring ourselves, hoping to come out ahead, yet measuring inherently contains the "short stick."
In this insightful video, we explore the cycle of self-hate and its hidden dynamics. Many of us unknowingly nurture self-hate by identifying with the negativity it generates, creating a perpetual loop of blame and judgment. The key to breaking free lies in awareness—learning to observe and question the patterns driving self-punishment.
In this short talk given on New Year's Eve, Guy talks about the greatest mystery of this work, which is that the mind always wants to be in motion because it's trying to reconcile the disturbance from not being what I am, where I am, using thought in an attempt to reconcile the present disturbance with a future promise.
If you are engaged in an interior dialogue with yourself, you are not listening to Divine guidance. In this short talk, Guy talks about keeping it simple. The higher answer to the pain of difficult moments is to see the consciousness that is responsible for the pain, not in struggling to change all of the exterior conditions that are blamed as the reason for the suffering.
In this short talk, Guy explains that nothing outside of yourself is punishing you. What is punishing you is your own resistance to what it feels like when people are rude, crude, or unkind. You want to blame others for the pain that you are in. See the resistance. Be aware of the pain of resisting. Be aware of the pain of blaming. The more you can be aware of that pain, the more unwilling you will be to lend yourself over to the demand that others...
We cannot excuse our way into peace of mind. It is impossible to excuse our way into having peace. If we let an excuse, or a justification, or an explanation become our guide in the moment we do something unkind, then we will never enter into this new level of being where the strength that we seek, and long to participate in, awaits us.

Watch this short excerpt by Guy Finley in which he tells two poignant stories that illustrate our deepest wish to know our purpose in Life and answer the ultimate question, "What am I doing on this planet?"
Will you speak more about how resistance can be our ally to make peace with what is incomplete? How we can remain open when we feel attacked in that moment, not later when the light goes on and I hit my forehead, seeing the test to see if I learned to be open?
If we were able to always accept every moment as complete and always be at peace, wouldn't it lead to us no longer pursuing anything? Would we not become entirely passive? And wouldn't that be a problem? Are we supposed to be satisfied with whatever is going on at the moment? Isn't some amount of dissatisfaction necessary to drive us to make changes in our lives?
The next time that you find yourself in a stew, regardless of how practical it seems, just quietly note and ask yourself, why is there negativity involved in a practical decision? What does negativity have to do with what I need to do? If you just ask yourself that question, you'll start to see that there is always something at the bottom of what it calls practical that's pushing you to get something reconciled in your life.

"Letting go" author Guy Finley explains that when a question includes the heart, the mind, and the body together, then the question is no longer in thought.

In this answer to a viewer's question, "Secret of Letting Go" author Guy Finley explains that in an unwanted moment, we have the choice to be actively aware of the burning reaction, or we can be passive and allow the reaction to dictate our actions. The awareness of the consciousness that has the reaction is the beginning of our freedom from it, and there is no other freedom than that.
"Letting go" author Guy Finley talks about how, most of the time, we don't know what to do in unwanted moments other than resist those moments.

Become the witness to the consciousness instead of the captive of it.

Letting Go author Guy Finley explains the esoteric meaning of the well-known passage from scripture to "sell all and follow me."

Once we see through this type of identification, we understand what it is that must be "sold" inwardly speaking.
