2) Guy explains why loving another helps us understand divine love: http://youtu.be/dVZ7i1S1M0U?t=26m31s and how life is a school of love :http://youtu.be/dVZ7i1S1M0U?t=46m2s

3) Why does another person make us feel complete?  Guy explains why romantic love makes us feel complete. http://youtu.be/dVZ7i1S1M0U?t=26m31s

4) Why are some relationships so hard? Guy explains the root of this suffering as our ego being identified with that other person here (http://youtu.be/dVZ7i1S1M0U?t=16m11s)

5) Why are break-ups so painful? Guy explains how impermanence is part of life and how an unwanted moment is about being attached to something.  What we are really hanging onto is a certain part of ourselves, when we can let go of what no longer works for us we can experience a rebirth.  Listen here. (http://youtu.be/dVZ7i1S1M0U?t=16m11s).  

6) How can we learn how to live life in love versus fear?  Many of us fear death.  But Guy explains, “Death is not the end of life.  But we are forever going through these mini deaths worrying all the time and unfortunately living out fear instead of living knowing that nothing is life is permanent. It’s about remembering that life can still go, but something inside me still remains”. He explains that perfect love casts out fear.  Instead of trying to protect ourselves from fearful things, it’s recognizing that fear can only exist if we identify with it.  So, the trick is to not oppose it or identify with it. But, instead be patient with it.    Guy explains here. http://youtu.be/dVZ7i1S1M0U?t=32m37s

7) How can we love unconditionally? While we feel like our actions are driven by love, often times they are driven by the desire to control another and to meet our ego’s needs.   Guy explains here (http://youtu.be/dVZ7i1S1M0U?t=38m16s).  

8)How do you approach someone from a place of giving versus controlling?  If we are truly in the moment and can honest with what we know and don’t know, this is giving from a place of sharing.  While what you are sharing may not be true or right, it is the best that you know at the moment.  It’s important during these times to be in a “don’t know mindset” knowing that with time a clearer answer will arise once you can rise above the ego and the fear.

9)Why are judgments about others really  more about us? Guy and CJ talk about how judgments of others are really less about the other person and more about an aspect of ourselves that we have not discovered yet here (http://youtu.be/dVZ7i1S1M0U?t=5m2s).  If we are all connected and are one, then the good and bad aspects we see in our partner are the exact aspects that we have within ourselves that we have yet to come to terms with. The learning comes in accepting these parts in ourselves and in others.  These opportunities with our darker nature can be seen as beacons of light if we can produce awareness within ourselves. The trick is not to resist them when these opportunities come to us, but to see these as a blessing to our revelation and to integrate them, the act of universal love.
