Letting Go with Guy Finley

*** Learn to keep your eye not upon the world that men create, but upon the world that permits men their creations. To wander through the former in search of yourself is to hope to find stability in desert dunes, while to awaken within the latter is to find not only your true Home, but…

Question: How can we parents, who are just beginning to obtain the least bit of understanding of the Truth, best instill in our children the will to seek and understand the Truth for themselves? Answer: It is better for your children to see you struggle and fail at what is Real than to try to…
