Hi,
This is Guy Finley,
And welcome to our fifth session in 31 Keys to Change Your Destiny.
Just as a refresher,
We're talking about realizing our own being,
The part of us that is not tied to the world the way that our thoughts are,
But that belongs to a world where thoughts and feelings serve us instead of us serving them in what's always a mad dash to reach some point in time where we're going to be content and happy with ourselves.
We're going to do much better than that.
We're going to find the part of ourself that is content and happy with what we are and what we have right now.
And right now is when we're going to look at our fifth session.
It's one of my favorite.
It's entitled,
See That Everyone Suffers.
Look,
It may feel like it,
But you and I,
We're not the only one who suffers in this world.
And we mustn't discount that idea because we look at television or read the news and we see what's going on in the world around us.
We're talking about something that's much more personal than that,
And I'll show you why it's so important for us to understand that we mustn't be afraid to take a good look and to really consider another human being in the moment when we're with them.
This will help us to be less concerned with the way we are and how we feel about ourselves if in that same moment we can see and understand that our friend,
Our partner,
The one that we love is actually in the same kind of pain that we are in that moment.
And we're not just talking about the pain of a disappointment.
We're not talking about the suffering of having something suspended that we would hope was going to fulfill us in some way.
We're talking about something quite beautiful,
And that is that part of our being itself is meant to be consistently changing,
Tied so intimately to the moment that's unfolding that we are unfolding with it and that includes all of the possibilities in it.
And to know those possibilities as our own,
We have to let go of those things in our life that we have become attached and dependent upon.
And there's suffering in that kind of letting go,
And everyone suffers not just from clinging to the old forms of contentment,
But from living from that level of consciousness that doesn't understand that the suffering that we see and feel in ourselves and everyone else serves a very important purpose in aligning ourselves with it so that by that alignment,
The very nature of our being goes through a change.
As a simple practice,
The next time you're with someone,
It could be anyone,
Come awake as possible to yourself,
Be aware of whatever that little disturbance may be.
And in the awareness of that disturbance,
Bring it into the awareness of your being that is not separate from the being of the person you're with and then you'll understand you're not the only one in the world that feels that anxiety or that pain,
But that we share a common relationship with a level of being that as we share in it,
We transcend it.
And as we transcend it,
Our future becomes the very moment of this present experience with ourselves and everyone else.
See you the next session,
Which is all about how to take the step beyond yourself.
