 OAS 171 Living the Fearless Life with Guy Finley
from Omni Art Salon 21st Century Art Podcast
June 10, 2008
Jeffrey has a powerful conversation with Guy Finley, the son of late-night talk show pioneer Larry Finley. Guy grew up in the Los Angeles area where many of his childhood friends were the children of celebrities. At a young age, he decided to pursue a music career. 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. Guy also composed scores for a number of motion pictures and TV shows. In spite of this growing good fortune early in his professional life, Guy still felt something was missing in his personal life. Seeking to fill this void, he abandoned his music career and left for India and the Far East in 1979 to study spiritual teachings and investigate the true nature of success through a heightened state of self-awareness. By the early 1980s, his search for spiritual awakening had led him back to the United States where he became a devoted student of spiritual teacher Vernon Howard for several years at the New Life Foundation in Boulder City, Nevada. In the early 1990s, with Howard s encouragement, he began a new career as an author of spiritual guidance books. His teachings, like those of Howard, draw from many different spiritual traditions and philosophies including: Christian mysticism, various Eastern philosophies, Fourth Way and Jungian psychology. In addition to his writing, he teaches inner-life classes at the Life of Learning Foundation in Merlin, Oregon, a nonprofit organization of which he is founder and director. He also hosts a monthly live call-in radio program, Guy Finley Live on HealthyLife.net, as well a weekly syndicated program, Letting Go with Guy Finley Guys Keynote address at the recent International Conference on Science and Consciousness was titled: “To Touch the Timeless Mind: Make the Million-Year Leap in Human Consciousness”. He also presented a workshop titled “The Essential Laws of Fearless Living: The Power to Never Feel Powerless Again”. I think you will really enjoy Guys comments and insights that he shares with great personal enthusiasm. He is a really enjoyable speaker with a divine sense of humor - cutting to the heart of the matter with an incisive wisdom that is a pleasure to behold. We are also celebrating today the June release of Guys wonderful new book: The Essential Laws of Fearless Living - Finding the Power to Never Feel Powerless Again. Be sure to check it out on his website and on Amazon. The Omni Art Salon theme music, When Angels Smile, is provided courtesy of Back To Earth
