Guy Finley's You Can Be Unstoppable

Key Lesson: The truth of our oneness with life only starts to become real for us as we awaken to see that in hurting others; we have also hurt ourselves and--that whenever we hurt ourselves--others suffer.

Key Lesson: Perhaps the most deceptive of all the false gods is the one who condemns you for being you.

Key Lesson: The true spiritual battle isn't with life, but in our work to stay in the midst of it when other parts of us want to run away.

Key Lesson: The comparative mind can’t understand that perfection is not in time, but rather is the action of what is Timeless upon time and all of its creations.

Key Lesson: The key to the kingdom of heaven is never farther away from us than what each present moment reveals to us; for in truth “purity of heart” is inseparable from our willingness to see that things are the way they are because of the way we are.

Key Lesson: In the grand scheme of things, everything that God gives you – for its darkness or light, pleasure or pain – is so that comes the day when, within you, is awakened the wisdom and will to give it all back to Him.

Key Lesson: In a world so full of self-created gratification, we should never forget that hidden in the shadow of all passing pleasures dwells their unseen opposite, some form of sorrow that -- sooner or later -- must visit the unwary soul. Yet... for our striving to remember this inescapable fact of life, born in us is this bright new understanding: lasting joy is found only in the realization of our True Self.

Key Lesson: Our greatest power – as it turns out -- isn’t the ability to imagine a limitless life, but rather to become aware of the fact that all dreams are part of the finite world.

Key Lesson: To be consciously kind has its cost, and the principle coin with which this payment is made is...the sacrifice of self.

Key Lesson: Whenever you try to protect yourself from any form of fear, it is only fear that you protect. Only fear can make you into what you don’t want to be.
