01 The Essential Laws of Fearless Living - Guy Finley
Fear is the basis of much conflict. People reacting unconsciously out of fear engage in attitudes and behaviors that sabotage their own lives and their ability to find inner peace. Much of my work as a peacemaker is helping people deal with their fears and helping them de-escalate. Fundamentally, however, if we are seeking a peaceful planet for our ourselves and our children, we must learn to be aware of and deal with our inner fears in a gentle, graceful manner. My guest, Guy Finley, is a spiritual teacher who has profound wisdom about fear and letting go of it. Guy has a pretty interesting background. He grew up in west LA in the entertainment business. His early career was in music, and he became the first white soft rock artist signed to the Motown Records label. While never achieving commercial success as a recording artist, several of his songs were recorded by popular artists including Diana Ross, the Jackson 5, and Debbie Boone in the 1970s. From an early age, however, Guy had a sense that there was something more to life than music, entertainment and parties. In 1989, he chucked it all and began a journey to learn more about consciousness and spirituality. Today, Guy writes about and teaches the things he has learned along the way.
