Guy Finley quotes

Being fully present is the best guarantee for a bright future. (Guy Finley)

Guy Finley
Every relationship that we have in our lives - our contact with each person, place, and event - serves a very special, if yet to be realized purpose: They are mirrors that can serve to show us things about ourselves that can be realized in no other way. (Guy Finley)
Eventually, we reach the point where we start to realize that we are not going to find peace, contentment, happiness, strength, fearlessness - all of the things that in our heart of hearts we wish we had - outside of us. View quote
Guy Finley
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.

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. View quote
Guy Finley
We need to see, and agree that what we seek already lives within us, and we within it. Now we know our one great task: watch for whatever promises us freedom, and then quietly, consciously refuse to see ourselves through the eyes of what we know is incomplete. Then we live wholeness itself, instead of spending our lives looking for it. View quote
Guy Finley

Guy Finley
The strength of any weakness within us is the degree to which it is feared. View quote

Every truth ever discovered, each new spiritual light that will ever burn bright has already been seeded in our consciousness. (Guy Finley)
The past is as powerless to darken the present moment as is a shadow to reach up and drag down the form that casts it. View quote
Guy Finley
What world is there for us where our essential nature - and its right to live free - is one and the same? View quote
Guy Finley
The secret self knows the anguish of our attachments and assures us that letting go of what we think we must have to be happy is the same as letting go of our unhappiness. View quote
Guy Finley
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. View quote
