The Secret of Letting Gp

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2010

Verified Purchase

An incredible realisation into the keys at our disposal that will allow the doors of our minds to open up to reveal the closed chambers of our thoughts, after being involved in a work situation for over two years I thought that I had the courage to shrug off any words or deeds that my persecutor did however, in retrospect after starting to read Guy Finley book "The Secret to Letting Go" did I realise that I have been trapped in my own dungeon of thought and still holding on to my own fears because they gave me cause and justification to be angry and revengeful. The Secret of Letting Go provided the insight, tools and inspiration to sincerely let go my wife stated that after reading this and other material from Guy Finely my height has soured, my stature is straight as apposed to a slouched position my eyes are bright and a bushy tail. All is well in my mind, thoughts and affairs, the key to our success is us and through people like Guy Finely our transition from the fearful to the courages is one book away. Thanks Guy Finely

A "Let Go" Personal Assistant

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2010

This is one of the best books available on the subject of Letting Go, which is not easy to do. This is not a read it and put it away book. It should be read,kept out and available to reference when needed. You will get so much more out of it if you keep it among your reference books. Used in this manner, Letting Go is so much easier. I have never found the process of Letting Go to be easy, but this makes a huge difference in the approach, reminds me what it means to truly Let Go and then allows me the ability to go through the process much more quickly than I have ever been able to do in the past. I highly recommend it for anyone who is feeling stuck and doesn't have a clue what to do to get past certain issues. Here's your answer!

A Truly Great Work........

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2009

Verified Purchase

Guy Finley teaches a simple yet effective technique for dissolving Egos hold upon the mind. I found this book after a very deep meditation in which I asked a Question "How do I heal?". A soft voice answered with "Let it go, Let it go, Let It all go........"
I did not understand that until this book came up in a search for the answer of the answer! I used the techniques and that set the Ego on fire for a couple months, but I stuck with the technique and broke the Egos hold. Anyone can do this, anyone. Sadly few will stick with it. But if you can get past the initial discomfort you can begin to finally feel free. Give this too yourself and it also makes a great gift.

Accountability?

I was excited to dive into this book.
I read some, skimmed some, walked away, came back.
And I understand letting Life guide you.
But what about necessary struggles? Life says be a musician, but your child needs food and shelter? How do you pay the bills?

I found nothing about accountability toward those you are involved with.
"Hey, grandma, Life says I need to head to Oregon for a retreat. You need to find someone else to drive you to the grocery. Bye!"
I gave it away. Going back to prayer.

This is a great positive book for anyone who is hanging on to troubles, problems or the past. Guy Finley shares the secrets of moving on and living in the present. The benefits of the repetition in this book are many. If someone reads a passage and doesn't relate to it, they may relate more closely with the next story in the book. By story, I mean factual cases where people have improved their lives by letting go of past angers, problems, mistaken beliefs, superstitions, etc. and learned the value of "living in the now".

I bought three more copies to give to family members and friends, but may need more, as I find many people living in the past, or hanging on to unhealthy patterns in their lives.

The Secret of Happiness

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2007

Verified Purchase

I feel like the book is mis-titled. It should be titled "The Secret to Happiness - Letting Go".

This book is filled with wonderful instruction about how to let go of all the things that are holding us back from achieving happiness in our lives. The book is well written, easy to understand and filled with stories to illustrate or illuminate the point the author is making.

While it is easy to read, for some people it will take more than one reading to fully grasp the concepts Guy Finley is advocating. The book requires us to adopt a totally different mindset. That does not happen overnight. It requires some indepth study and contemplation. We need to develop an awareness of how we are blocking our quest for happiness - -how we get in our own way and become our own worst enemy.

We all have been programmed with lots of mis-information. We need to re-program our minds. To let go of all these negative thoughts. We must let go of fear, anger, resentment. This book tells us how to let go of all the things that keeps us stuck in our present circumstances.

But it will take accepting these truths and then acting on them to realize the true value of letting go. It is simple, but because of our prior programs which have become ingrained habits, it will not be easy.

Here are a few selected gems from the book:

"The more you depend on others to confirm you to yourself, the less real life you have of your own."

"Right isn't something you feel, it is something you are."

"Self-doubt is born out of being identified with the idea that how you feel about yourself depends upon how others feel about you."

There is a world of wisdom in this book. If you are tired of living in doubt and fear, tired of carrying around a lot of excess baggage then read this book and learn the secret of letting go.

This book has the information to change your life. Of course the information is only valuable if you accept it and start to live your life in accordance with the ideas given.

An enlightening read filled with practical guidance on becoming aware of your higher self. It provides relevant tools for your s

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book is a profoundly interesting and mind-expanding read, and one I would recommend if healing and spiritual awakening are on your life agenda. Guy is conveying concepts of the “higher self” (most of us have zero experience nor language of this), in words accessible to the lower self (ego mind; wherefrom most of us originate our life experiences and whose interests are not best served by reading this book!) from which we are to awaken-transform. This makes it “complex” to understand, relatively slow going, and necessitating of multiple rereads.

I think this book is well written considering the topic, and comes from the same stable as Eckhart Tolle’s (ET) “The power of Now”. I get the impression Guy really does ‘get it’ and ‘lives it’, and does his best to give us a mind-shattering cognitive process to self-realization, rather than calling out to us from some enlightened state (which miraculously happened i.e. ET) as to how we need to be (devoid of a process to get there). He asks lots of good ego mind eroding questions (your days are numbered), and provides good chapter summaries that are helpful. It’s not an easy book to specifically recall its gems from, but I think with a few rereads of my highlighted sections it will become so.

If you’ve ever accessed altered states of consciousness spontaneously, or using shamanic practices (drumming, plant medicine) or via sacredly timed meditation-psychedelics i.e. Unity states of consciousness, transcending ego-body-space-time boundaries, chakra and kundalini activations, ego death, Satcitananda etc., as well as been afforded “glimpses” of your higher self in this realm (the eternal, observing, ever present, real mind knowingly connected to the source and awaiting our awakening) then I believe this book offers a language and partial process to help you/me begin the disassembly of our imposturous ego mind’s influence in creating our lives. Unbeknown to most of us, the challenge we’ve all got with God’s paradoxical gifted journey in life is to evolve our individual (and species collective) consciousness so we may experience, then stabilize, the higher self. Why? So we may eliminate the suffering we cause and escape karmic rebirth. If we fail this mission in this life, then we will be repeatedly gifted life until we experience / stabilize these higher states of consciousness and transform our lives (& deaths). Thats the cosmic game plan!

Will this book help you experientially achieve that higher-self realization and stabilization? I’m not sure. But I do know this is an important read for those on the healing and awakening path. I believe it offers us a window cleaning approach to begin to let some of the “light” shine out of our hearts and to glimpse the higher self. Perhaps it might offer a proverbial dam busting sledge hammer or acid dissolving agent for those who are ready to awaken i.e. eliminate the imposturous ego mind’s influence so the higher self may become realised and stabilized. Becoming aware of the higher self is all well and good, but stabilization then becomes the next challenge; and that is the tough part not really detailed herein (in my view). Nonetheless, this is an important cognitive adjusting / light shining step on our journeys and a must read.

Now if you combined this book with the ritual access of altered states of consciousness via Ritual Meditation (see www.carltonbrownv47.com) then you will have some complementary tools to experientially awaken/glimpse (instantaneous), then begin the journey to higher-self stabilization (a life long journey of spiritual and cognitive practice). That’s certainly my approach to this valuable and insightful book and spiritual tool. Thanks Guy Finley for a great book.

Dont be put off by the desi arnaz jnr connection - DAJ is recovering alcoholic/addict and anyone who is in the process of recovery will find this really helpful in learning how to relax without the drug of choice,whether its booze, heroin or people.
