Here are a few of our favorite Big Ideas from Week 1!
Big Idea #1: New Eyes
Guy recommends stepping away from the common "how to" and "what to do" approach of personal development while taking this course. The purpose of "For The Love of Life" isn't merely to provide strategies, but to provide new eyes through which to see your life.When you look at the universe with new eyes "bad" events take on new meaning. You begin to recognize that even the most painful event can help integrate a new ground of understanding and a higher level of being. These new eyes are a greater order of being which expand our experience of time and space.
To see the good when things look bad means that even though we have individual lives, we have discovered within ourselves a greater scale of being that understands -- right in the midst of the unwanted moment -- that Life delivers these lessons purely for our benefit. It is through our agreement to enter into these moments consciously that we discover greater and greater degrees of freedom.
The storms of life are not happening *to* you. . . they’re happening *for* you.
Big Idea #2: Resistance
Guy says resisting a condition is the surest way to guarantee you won't learn or grow from an event. Resistance is the act of escaping, denying, and numbing yourself to whatever a situation brings to light.Resistance is a form of negative attraction. By pushing things away, we actually make our connection to them stronger.
Guy asks, “Do I want to spend the rest of my life feeling used by moments, or knowing how to use them for my growth? No event is greater than your capacity to use it to become a wiser human being.”
It is impossible to love what we fear. It's impossible to love life and be afraid of it at the same time. What we're after is a new order of understanding that allows us to love life no matter what is unfolding within it.
Guy asks that we realize that the force of the event is not in the condition but in that part of my consciousness that's resisting it. The event *reveals* our resistance, it doesn’t *create* it.
You cannot resist a condition and learn from it at the same time! - Guy Finley
Big Idea #3: Don't Compromise Truth
Learn to do what is within your power and refuse to do what is not.Guy instructed, "Let's say I get some bad news. I find out someone I love is going to die. The very first thing to do is to remember yourself. Something in us wants to compromise us by jumping into the river of our reaction.
You cannot reconcile your resistance to the event. You can only transcend it by dying to the level of self that created it.
We look for powers instead of looking for how we have agreed to make ourselves powerless. We believe the event is greater than our ability to grow through it. No such event exists.
Revelation releases us from who and what we've been, from that which we thought was good but which was keeping us a prisoner."
