This idea of having given away our freedom is very paramount for Question: Guy, the title of your book, The Courage to Be Free, raises an a person to understand, because the mindset is that something has immediate question. Why does it take courage to be free? come in and taken it, or that somehow I misplaced it. And we need to be very clear about the difference between those things. Guy: The need to let go of something or someone would never even occur to us were it not for the fact that some part of us is clinging to it Question: So then, what freedom have we lost, and how do we reclaim with both hands! It takes courage to be free because it isn’t the person, it? possession, or situation, that must be released, but rather it’s our Guy: The first step to reclaiming freedom is self-honesty. Without that, identification with that condition that holds us captive. Self-liberation nothing can change. And the principle thing we've lost, that underlies all means just that: liberation from the (level of) self that knows itself only of the fear that visits most of us, is our ability to love. By love I don't through whatever it first becomes identified with, then attached to, and mean the sentimental, common type of love that is full of sensation and finally dependent upon.

Question: One of the main themes in your book concerns recovering Question: In one chapter you write of the need for us to shatter our false what you call "our original fearless self." What do you mean by "our beliefs. What are some of our most limiting false beliefs? original fearless self?"

This false sense of separation breeds fear and all the forms of right to be free, and what we need to do in order to regain it. Can you greed that shadow it. explain this idea a little further? Question: You talk about seeing the good when things look bad. Many people are seeing a lot of bad right now -- the economy has hurt many people and nature itself seems to be in upheaval. How can we see the good in events that seem to be so destructive? Guy: First, can we agree that freedom from whatever limits a human Affirmations being is always for the good of them?
