Ive been a huge fan of Guy Finleys work for a couple of years now, and so finally a few months ago, I went down to his Life of Learning Foundation spiritual school. I met with his students, team, and also met Guy. While there, I felt a great sense of joy, harmony, and abundance of presence and authenticity and I wanted to share it with others. So I asked some of Guys team if theyd be willing to work with me, personally, to GIVE you some of his exclusive "Secrets of Being Unstoppable" album. The two audio clips (about 15 mins each) below have been hand-selected by me because I really enjoy them greatly, and I believe you will too. ==> Click here to listen to both excerpts The first one shares a few spiritual stories and some key lessons. By now its no mystery I love to read, write, and share spiritual stories, so today you get to listen to In the second audio clip, Guy shares about what 3 of my favorites from Guy. SUCCESS really is, and what we can do to achieve it. It is my personal opinion that these clips, alone, are well worth the cost of Guys entire "Secrets of Being Unstoppable" program. Just so you have a point of reference, the clips I picked out are about 30 minutes (a half CD), and the full "Unstoppable" program is 16 CDs (so about 32 times more content than what Im sharing with you). I hope you enjoy these clips, as much as I have!

Chris, I too am a big fan of Guy Finley, ever since I bought The Secrets of Letting Go in paperback. I love listening to his audios or videos, or reading his words, as his teachings represent The Truth as the truth feels to me. And Ive also bought The Secrets of Being Unstoppable, and have decided that this is one of the few things I shall commit to listening to in 2010. (Im on an information fast next year - want to replace information with action!) Anyway, just thought I would support your efforts here!

4. By Chris Cade on Apr 26, 2010 | Reply Marianna, I appreciate your comment and insights, and my personal opinion is that it is important to differentiate between spiritual ideas and society ideas. There is a reason why the word enLIGHTenment has light in it. Darkness is the absence of light, the absense of joy, love, compassion, etc. When there is no light in those areas of us, then we have DARKness we feel anger, shame, resentment, isolation, racism, etc. Only by bringing LIGHT to the DARK aspects of ourselves, can we become enLIGHTened, and therefore, also bring more LIGHT to the rest of the world. Images of light and dark only contribute to racism where there is racism to be contributed to. The more LIGHT we have in the world, the less racism and therefore the less that anything (including our preconcieved notions and personal biases of color) will contribute to racism.
