Quotes from Guy Finley

Toute relation soumise à une pression, même si son but est d'essayer de raccommoder les choses, finit toujours par se disloquer. Nous pouvons apprendre à faire mieux qu'à nous laisser diriger par cet esprit du moi malavisé. Nous pouvons apprendre à nous distancer de ses manigances autodestructrices.

Quiconque est authentiquement heureux ou sage le demeure dans chaque situation. Il apporte cette qualité avec lui partout où il va. La sagesse et le contentement font partie de sa nature.

The fear of being alone is born out of keeping company with parts of yourself that want you to feel incomplete so that they can lead you into one self-compromising relationship after another!

Mutluluk, karabulutlar kaybolduÄŸunda, gün ?????n?n doÄŸal olarak dünyay? ?s?tmas? gibi, stressiz bir yaÅŸam?n doÄŸal ifadesidir.

It is the common man who measures himself by the things that pass through his life, for it is only the common man who judges his own value according to what this life accidentally awards or denies. Your birthright is that of a king, but today you have acted quite common.

Daha önce önemli olan pek çok ÅŸeyin art?k o kadar önemli olmad???n?, eskiden çok istediÄŸimiz ÅŸeylerin art?k bizim için neredeyse hiçbir önem ta??mad???n? gösterecek anlarla her zaman kar??laÅŸaca??m?z gerçeÄŸini -Åžimdi- hat?rlayabilsek, o zaman...

My son, a true king is never concerned with what his subjects bring him, whether bags of silver or bags of straw, because he knows he possesses the entire kingdom. Look beyond this stage: everything is yours; it always has been.

Secret Self is your royal nature. Like the kingly condition that it is, it knows about you what you have yet to learn about yourself. Let it reveal to you its secret kingdom. It belongs to you. You receive a portion of this kingdom each time you refuse to be captured by the common and choose instead in favor of the celestial. The stars are your birthright. We must look beyond the sparrow to the skies through which it wings.

When you fall, you must remember to let go of the rope!" They both laughed out loud at this lighthearted lesson because the need to let go was so obvious. I remember this incident well because of the long-lasting impression it formed in me.

There is one last thing I would wish for you to know, and to know this truth without any doubt. It will save you, literally, from endless years of futile search and struggle. And it is certain that you will come to know this rescuing power as long as you choose it before all else. Here it is: You have the right to live without being compromised by any negative state.

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.

Begin with the higher fact that you are not here on earth to live up to anyone's expectations—including your own. There is something much higher for you to be in this life than to spend your days doing what only strains and drains you. Your True Self knows that there is only one supreme command: you need never answer any demand that causes you pain or that asks you to sacrifice your integrity.

Living under the defeatist directions of the false self, we wrongly assume that the only way to reach real independence, real safety, is to look to someone else to take us there. It isn't in another's power to do for you what you must do for yourself. It never has been.

Bir yerden ayr?lmaktan korkma, oraya ba?l? kalmaktan kork, al??kanl?klar?ndan kork. Hep ayn? kalmaktan kork.

Then, rather than trying to change others to suit our needs, our choice would be to simply drop this false idea that someone else is responsible for our fulfillment.

See that any time you feel pained or defeated, it is only because you insist on clinging to what doesn't work. Dare to let go and you won't lose a thing except for a punishing idea.

We must do the work to prove our fears groundless, otherwise it is our fears that will gain ground and our lives will be spent in their service.

Do the moment-to-moment work of dropping anything that wants to drag you down, and Reality itself will see to it that you rise.

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.

It's time to break our ties with anything in us that would rather complain about its situation than go to work to change it.

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.

We go through our lives in a continual dance of being filled with something that needs an answer, and then going out and finding that answer... only to find out that our answer wasn't quite the answer.

The right attitude toward any negative state begins with understanding that its only authority over you is a direct reflection of your attitude towards it.

In these times - where social appearance is more important than spiritual substance - what has become our longing to change is really the unconscious desire to control not just the shape of our bodies (according to prevailing values) but to dominate our environment as well, regardless of the cost.
