Letting Go with Guy Finley

We are intended to be in relationship with the ongoing movement of life. But when you look at life as though nothing will change, it won’t. The more you push away what you don’t want, the more you keep it in place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn8iQ8D8H_o&t=14s

Life, in creation, is ceaseless change: (it is) a visible manifestation of an invisible Divine principle revealing itself through rebirth. We can either realize our existence within this eternal movement — as a designated part of its everlasting design — or we can continue to struggle with unwanted moments in the false belief that our…

The fact that we always want something from the moment — even if it’s to not want what it offers, or has otherwise come to reveal — blinds us to the fact that every moment is always giving us… showering us with the Light of a Life that wants for nothing.

It wasn’t terribly long ago, before this world got as sick as it is now, that men and women were dedicated to the preparation of the soul, to an understanding that when the time came to leave the body, they wouldn’t be afraid or wondering if they had misspent their life.

For example, let’s look at the life of a simple leaf. As it’s born and slowly unfolds, it captures the soft light of spring…
