First Letter To Guy Finley ------The Birth

Hello Guy,
Hello Guy,

Although it would please me greatly if you were to read these letters, I do understand that your teachings have become rather widespread, and I realize you must be bombarded with correspondence. However, since I see no harm in you receiving such a memo, I have decided to write these letters, as a personal journal. My feeling is that I will be more inspired, or that I will use this as an exercise in focus. It was your book I first opened when I decided to follow my heart, and you basically introduced me to a spiritual way of thought. Simulating a discussion with you can only draw from me the highest level of actualization possible.

I would love to believe that I have arrived at the apex of my climb, but what I am sure of is that I have recently gained enough understanding to cause a shift in my viewpoint. It was beautiful in the way it came upon me, directly after a major catastrophe, simply put, one that immediately left me rattled, confused, basically homeless with no possessions, and crying. It happened one day, at the bottom of my fall, as every fear that has ever tormented my thoughts had finally cornered me and was moving in to devour me. I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I knew that everything was going to be fine. It was a true sunrise after a stormy night.

(To add to the majesty of it all, I was visited by a Hawk, which is a rare sight in NY City, and of course, the Hawk is a symbol of observance, vision, and all of that.......)

The way I explain this awakening is that for the past five years, I have been studying something that I knew to be true but didn’t quite understand. (It was difficult to overpower the negative forces that have accumulated in my subconscious. I was laden with guilt, worry, fear... I thought I was inept to survive on this planet. I was a failure, an outcast. I was a do-over.)

Finally, after checking the equipment, so to speak, after making sure everything worked out and we were all clear , I dove in. I jumped out of the airplane, even though I am TERRIFIED of heights, because I knew 100% that the parachute was going to work. For five years, I had tested the theories. All I had to do was get the hardware ready to perform, and that was me.

I needed to let go, and that final blow was just enough to jar me loose. When I couldn’t hold on any more, I let go. I jumped out of the plane, armed and ready, and let the treacherous sea of fear swallow me, only to emerge in a beautiful pool on a gorgeous day. Every spiritual writing talks about the darkness before dawn. It’s great to see it’s true.

All of a sudden, I feel the pain of every human being I see. I want to help others more than I want to help myself. I want to love, and somehow, someway, that really is all it takes. Not love in a sensual way. Love meaning acceptance, the opposite of fear.

From love you lose resistance because you accept things as they are. You realize that is the natural order of things, just as there is naturally a pitch black sky before a picture perfect sunrise, or they way an ecosystem survives only when some things perish, allowing others to thrive. Just look at the human body. It is miraculous, but think of the cells that must die as it lives. Is that not a terrible thing? Life is life. (We can agree that animals receive affection from their parents.) It’s rather vain of us to think otherwise. However, the end of life is sometimes necessary. Nature ultimately brings life and never stops.

When you live with love and not fear, which creates resistance and causes you to meet people, situations, or even yourself with anger and resentment and contention and struggle, you do not want to change things because you realize that the way you think things should be may not be. I see people frowning, huffing and puffing, and sucking their teeth and shaking their head all day, everywhere. There is so much bickering going on and arguing . I don’t see why people don’t know they are hurting themselves when they become frustrated with something else.

If someone taunts you or disturbs you in anyway, it is YOU who allows it to affect you! NOBODY, has the power to alter your state in any way, by anything they do. When a person complains about another person and blames that person for bothering him, agitating him, for causing pain , it is THAT person that has hurt himself.

I am going on a tangent, GUY. Forgive me. This letter is my inner monologue explaining, to myself, the spiritual law that YOU perfectly laid out for me, as it now seems clear. I guess another way to describe it would be to say that my moments of clarity have been making quite a few appearances. Thank You, Guy

Sincerely,
Prof. Plume
