Notes from Neale…

---

My dear friends…

Former Vice President Al Gore, in testimony before the U.S. Congress this week, suggested that the planet will soon reach an irreversible “tipping point” of damage to the climate, a news report from CNN said.

The network said that Gore told the Congress that the United States needs to join international talks on a treaty. “This treaty must be negotiated this year,” Gore told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

The CNN report noted that committee chairman John Kerry of Massachusetts said public policy must change and respond to warnings from scientists who fear that a buildup of greenhouse gas emissions may prove permanent. “Frankly, the science is screaming at us,” he said. “Right now, the most critical trends and facts all point in the wrong direction.”

The prospective harm from climate change includes permanent coastal flooding from rising sea levels, agricultural deterioration and the spread of tropical diseases to temperate climates, CNN reported that scientists are saying. I hope that you will do all that you can to promote the health of our planet.

I know that these can be scary times. Yet if we stand firm in our understanding of the world and why it is the way it is, and of God, and how God is working with us every day to produce the experience of our own highest benefiting, we will not be frightened of the future—nor will we see the future as something that we are enduring. We will see it as something we are creating. And that will make all the difference.

I hope you will join with me in Creating Tomorrow. There is a process by which we can do that—and that is much of what we will discuss in May when I present my next 5-day Intensive for the Conversations with God Foundation. The program will be offered May 20-24 in Baltimore, and will also feature a special opportunity for you to experience your own conversation with God.

The Creating Tomorrow program will be laid out at this retreat—a way for you to recreate yourself anew in the next grandest version of the greatest vision ever you held about Who You Are. I’ll share with you new and powerful tools, specific steps you can take, right now, to alter the course of your life. Every day I try to think of new ways to make the extraordinary messages of CwG come alive in the 9-to-5 experience of regular people. The program I have designed for May is my latest permutation of that. Do come and join us! If ever there was a time to pay attention to the callings of your soul, this is it!
Hugs,
Neale.

Further explorations of the Conversations with God material from the author

Neale Donald Walsch through the years has given hundreds of talks and written scores of articles revolving around the messages he received in his Conversations with God. Now, every seven days, we will present in this space a transcript or reprint of those presentations. We invite you to Copy and Save each one of them, creating a personal a collection of contemporary and uplifting spiritual thought which you may reference at any time. We hope you will find this a constant source of insight and inspiration.

This week’s offering: In an article written on May 1, 2001, Neale answers critics who ask:
How dare you say that you speak with the Voice of God?

---

A few days after Communion with God — a book written entirely from God’s point of view — hit the bookstores back in October, reporters began calling me for interviews, and many of them led with the same question:

Where do you get off speaking in the first person voice of God? Isn’t that just a bit presumptuous?

It’s a fair question. While I am not the first person to have produced such a book (far from it, in fact), inquiring minds still want to know: how can I — or for that matter, anyone — dare to place words in God’s mouth in this way?

The first thing I answer when asked this question is that I am not placing words in God’s mouth. God is placing words in mine.

Furthermore, God is doing the same thing with all of us. I am not the only person on the planet speaking God’s words. All of us are in Communion with God all of the time.

If you have ever spoken of love to any other person, you have spoken in the First Person Voice of God.

If you have ever spoken of compassion to a person in need of compassion, you have spoken in the First Person Voice of God.

If you have ever spoken of forgiveness to a person who seeks forgiveness (or even to one who does not — perhaps especially to one who does not), you have spoken in the First Person Voice of God.

If you have ever argued for fairness, called for justice, pleaded for peace, recommended mercy, or proposed a win-win solution to anyone, you have spoken in the First Person Voice of God.

If you have ever consoled or comforted, you have spoken in the First Person Voice of God.

If you have ever encouraged or motivated, you have spoken in the First Person Voice of God.

If you have ever uplifted or congratulated, you have spoken in the First Person Voice of God.

If you have ever renewed another’s faith (especially in themselves), restored another’s hope, revived another’s dream, you have spoken in the First Person Voice of God.

If you have ever respected another’s truth, resolved another’s doubt, removed another’s fear, recalled another’s goodness, recited another’s attributes, reduced another’s apprehension, relieved another’s mind, re-lived another’s pain, or remained another’s friend, you have spoken in the First Person Voice of God.

It is not difficult to speak in the First Person Voice of God. It is more difficult not to. You have to step way out of Who You Really Are.

When you let God place words in your mouth, you always speak the truth, you always speak with sensitivity and awareness, you always speak of ways to resolve, not who to blame.

You always speak your mind, but you always speak from the heart, and you always speak with the gentleness of your soul.

Every moment is a moment of Communion with God, and we can experience it as that if we truly wish to. That is the great promise of God, and that is the greatest experience in Life.

Dear Neale: Thank you for your wonderful book! I have read it again and again, and given it to so many friends that the lady at the bookstore must think I own stock in the publishing company! I am wondering about something. I know what I’ve gotten out of the book, but I’m curious to know what you got out of it! Would you give us your personal experience of this? Thanks! Mary, De¬troit, MI.

Hi, Mary! Well, you’ve asked a question that is just about the most frequently asked of all. Every talk show host who has inter¬viewed me has asked me that question, and every newspaper reporter. You’re the first reader, though.

First, let me tell you that I read the book nearly every day. To me, it is like a book written by someone else. I often read it and feel no sense of connection with it at all, in the sense of an author re-reading his work. It has been that way from the very beginning. Always it has felt as it I had very little to do with this process, except to be there for whatever was supposed to happen. So the book has taught me a great deal, and been a source of continued in¬spiration to me.

I think the most important thing I got out of the book was a deep sense of God’s abiding love. I learned in an extraordinary way of God’s unremitting, unconditional love and total acceptance of us, even the worst of us. This came through to me even as I was “writing” the book by the bare fact that I was writing it. I mean, by the earthly standards of many people (including my own), I am the last person who deserves to have been chosen to put this informa¬tion into a book. Yet I was chosen, and I have put it into book form. So by that measure alone, I am clear that God loves without condi¬tion, that God rejects not even the least or the worst of us, and that all we need do to understand and experience that salvation is to ac¬cept it, claim it, honor it, and hold it as true.

Now, there are those who disagree with me, Mary. Many, in fact, do. They say that God’s word and God’s law and God’s love is worthless and pointless if there was no such thing as the possibility of God’s rejection. They say that the only way to God is through obedience to God’s commands, adherence to God’s laws, and, in some theological constructions, acceptance of God’s Son. Failure to do any or all of these things means certain damnation, they say, and we’d better be aware of that, and ready for it, because we’ll get what’s “coming to us” if we don’t watch out.

In fact, we not only had better watch out, we’d better not cry. We’d better not pout, I’m tellin’ you why . . .

Oh, sorry . . . that’s a different myth.

You see, Mary? Every myth we create, we create around a sys¬tem of judgment, around a construction of reward and punishment. It is inconceivable to us that there is a being in the universe, in re¬alty or in my theology, who could accept us just the way we are, and just the way we choose to be. That is because we cannot believe in the ultimate purpose of life. We believe that the purpose of life is to follow God’s law, do as God wants, and, essentially, please God.

Yet pleasing God is not the purpose of life. Only an egomaniacal deity would create beings whose essential purpose was to please Him. And only an insane ego maniac would then add such treachery and misery to the mix as life contains in order to make it virtually guaranteed that his created beings would stumble and fall. And only an incredibly cruel insane ego maniac would go further, say¬ing it doesn’t matter whether they fall or not, because they have already fallen! Before birth!

As improbable as this scheme might seem, that is the theologi¬cal construction which millions upon millions of people have laid upon their so-called “loving” God. So I think the most important thing the books did for me, and do for me daily, Mary, is free me from the shackles of a belief in an angry, vindictive, judgmental God. I am now more open to creating my life as I want it, not as I imagined it had to be.

The ironic part of all this is that I am now acting more in ac¬cordance with what the old teachings asked of me than I was when I was told to act that way or else. In other words, I am find¬ing that “being good” (whatever “good” means) feels, well . . . good, when it isn’t having to be done because I’ll be condemned if I don’t.

Put another way, I tend to rise to higher expectations of me, and aspirations for me, when those expectations and aspirations are mine, not someone else’s. This is a great secret which God un¬derstands, but which man refuses to believe: we are basically good, not basically bad. We do not need an angry, vindictive, punishing God to scare us into doing what is “right,” act in the in¬terests of others, or “show up” grandly. Our basic nature—human nature—is loving, and kind. We are taught greed. We are taught fear. We are taught ugliness, prejudice, violence. We are love, and we are taught to be some thing else!

The second most important thing I learned from the books is that there is only one reason to do a thing—any thing—and that is to be and to decide, to create and to fulfill Who I Really Am, and Who I now Choose to Be. You see, I thought there were all sorts of reasons that I was supposed to do this or that. My father told me. The world expects it of me. God demands it of me. Whatever. Now I’m clear that God demands nothing, the world’s expecta¬tions are distorted and misplaced, and my father’s orders no longer need to be followed.

We are in this cosmic game of golf, and there’s no one keeping score but us. Who we are, and who we turn out to be, is a matter be¬tween us and ourselves. No one else cares. No one else even knows. Not really. And God, who does know, simply observes, without judgment, all the while, of course, making all of His power available to us, if we will but use it. We are left to our own choices. No instructions, no orders, no commandments. That makes us wholly responsible, completely in charge, and totally at cause in the matter of Who We Turn Out to Be.

This can be empowering, or terribly scary, depending upon a lot of other thoughts a person might have about the universe and how it works. For me it was terrifically empowering.

So the book has served me in these two important ways, and many other ways, of course, too, but in these ways in particular. I hope that has answered your question.

Notes from Neale…

My dear friends…

I am more excited than I have been in a very long time over these last two books that have come through me. I am speaking of Happier Than God, which was published last April, and When Everything Changes, Change Everything, which will be coming out this May. I believe these two books have all the practical tools we could ever ask for to help us understand what I have called the Mechanics of Life.

Conversations with God has given us so much rich, deep, insightful information. Its concepts are indisputably among the most extraordinary spiritual statements of the past 25 years. It is not that there is so much that is “new” here (in fact, none of it is “new”), but rather, that this ancient wisdom has been restated in such a clear, contemporary way that it has reached a whole new audience, numbering in the multi-millions across 37 languages.

Where this has brought us now is to a place where many of those millions have been yearning for practical, hands-on tools with which to apply the messages of CwG in their every day lives. The concepts are like a road map. The tools become the vehicle with which we can get where we want to go.

Happier Than God provided us with marvelous insights and plenty of hands-on instruction in how to work with the messages of Conversations with God in a minute-to-minute way, bringing CwG’s statement that we are the creators of our own reality very much down to earth, with extremely practical suggestions on how to make that assertion functional.

Now comes When Everything Changes, Change Everything to give us remarkable tools with which to deal with the tumultuous changes that are taking place all over the world. These include changes in our global and in our local experience.

So much is changing now for so many people. The world’s economies are undergoing radical alterations, causing all of humanity to realign its basic life priorities, and to face an astonishingly important question: Is Bigger-Better-More the best way to create ‘quality of life’?

The world’s politics have changed, and we are seeing things we never thought we’d see before. The world’s medicine and science and technology are uncovering amazing secrets that are shifting our understanding of the very basics of life itself. The world’s spiritual experience is manifesting itself in fresh and remarkable ways, inviting us to wholly new and expanded understandings of Divinity and new ideas of what it means to be human. The world’s newest thoughts about relationship and marriage have moved many people to look beyond their former definitions and expressions of romantic love.

On a personal level, people are losing their jobs, their savings, even their homes. As a larger and larger segment of the population grows older and older, more of us are watching family members make the transition that we call death. Marriages and partnerships are ending more frequently, and over far less, than ever before. Between these last two developments, we are losing loved ones from our lives at a frantic pace. Our approaches to parenting and to education are shifting so dramatically that they are impacting the dynamics of interior family relationships in ways we could not have dreamt of a few years ago.

The whole of human society is in the process of reinventing itself. We are moving through what anthropologist and social scientist Jean Houston calls Jump Time, a moment in the eternal cycle of life when we monumentally shift every aspect of our ground of being, much as humanity did during the 300 years of the Renaissance, when everything from art to politics to culture to governance to commerce to education to religion to human sexual experience to partnerships and parenting changed so fundamentally that nothing–literally nothing–was ever the same again.

The heart-stopping characteristic of this, our Next Renaissance, is that it is not taking place over 300 years, but rather, over 30. This owes to a breathtaking tenfold increase in the width, the breadth, the scope and the speed of our global inter-cultural communication. We live in the Time of Instaparency, when everything is instantly known, transparently. Such moment-to-moment awareness of all that is going on everywhere produces alterations in perspective that start dominoes falling all over the place.

Perspective creates perception, perception creates belief, belief creates behavior, behavior creates experience, experience creates reality, and reality creates the next perspective. It is a circle. A cycle of cause-and-effect turning in on itself, producing a whirlwind, and then an avalanche, of Change.

All of this Change has brought many humans to the edge of their comfort zone. They do not know how to deal with it–and they will not be able to deal with it unless they unlock the secret of Change Itself…which is that nothing changes for the worse. It only changes for the better.

This has not been our experience in life, and so the statement is dramatically counter-intuitive. Yet it is no less true. Change for the worse is literally impossible within the expression of energy that we call Life. That is because Life Itself can fundamentally alter itself in only one direction: the direction that evolution demands. That is, things can only change for the better, things can only improve, because “improvement” is the Only Naturre of God.

Life is God’s way of proving Itself to Itself. The process by which It does this is called Improvement. Evolution is the constant, the continual, the unending adjustment, adaptation, and alteration of Life Itself. No adjustment, adaptation, or alteration reduces Life. All can only expand it. Life evolves to higher and higher levels of complexity. Life cannot devolve if It wanted to. It is incapable of doing that.

It is true that Life can look like it is devolving. Changes can look like they are not “for the better.” But, in fact, Change can only be for the better, or it would not occur. Conversations with God tells us that Life is Functional, Adaptable, and Sustainable. These are the Basic Principles of Life, and they cannot be violated or rendered in any way inoperable, or Life Itself would cease to be–and Life has no intention of allowing that to happen.

All of this becomes imminently clear with the simple substitution of the word God for the word Life. Suddenly, everything is made simple. When human beings understand this, the process of Change is seen for what it is: the ultimate expression of Divinity Itself, sustaining Itself through adaptations that render Itself eternally functional.

Change is an announcement of Life’s decision to go on.

Most people do not see it this way, and so most people, in order to deal effectively with Change, must change the way they think of Change, which will change the way they encounter Change, which will change the way they experience Change. Especially at a time such as now, when everything is changing, they must change everything.

It seems to me that those of us who understand this must stand ready to help those of us who do not. We must all be bodhisattvas. Having reached our destination, we must refuse to go on until all who travel with us have passed us on the way. We must pass on to them what will allow them to pass us.

That is where this new book comes in. And that is where you come in.

I am counting on you to help me form a network of people across the globe who will help us change the world by changing the way people perceive, experience, and create Change. I am counting on you to help people understand the Great Secret of Change: that God is Change.

Change is another word for God. God is another word for Life. Life is another word for Change.

There is a lot of fear associated with Change. People are afraid of things suddenly being different from what they were before. Yet it was Franklin Roosevelt who said, “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself.” I’m going to take that one step further. I’m going to say…

We have nothing to change, but Change Itself.

More about the Changing Change Network in upcoming weeks. AND…we will talk a lot about all this in our Deep Study Program, sponsored by the Foundation and coming up in March. It is designed especially for those who want to “go deep” in their understandings of CWG and how to apply those understandings in every day life!

This week’s offering: In an article written in July, 2002 Neale speaks of the cosmology of all life.

---

It has been made very clear to me that every thought, word and action in the life of any physical being in the universe originates in one of two places—what we call, in our language here on Earth, love or fear.

These are the original Binary Numbers of the Universe. They are the “0″ and the “1″ of the computer program of Life Itself.

What we know is that all computer programs are designed on a binary system, using a combination of 0′s and 1′s. Pictures and letters and numbers appear on television and computer screens through a process that causes a spot of the screen to contain some percentage of a solid mass, or no mass at all. That is to say, either a bunch of 1′s or 0′s. All printed matter consists of nothing more than white space left open on the page, or space covered by a certain amount of ink.

Similarily, all that exists in the physical universe is composed of either Something or Nothing. This is the Binary System of all Physical Life. Metaphysical Life, on the other hand, exists in a Triangular System. Everything physical initially appears to be, and is understood as, a dyad, whereas everything metaphysical, or spiritual, initially appears to be, and is understood as, a triad.

Examples of physical dyads include male-female, up-down, left-right, and so on. Examples of metaphysical triads include body-mind-spirit and here-everywhere-there, or before-now-after.

The process by which things “solidify” from the triad of things metaphysical to the dyad of things physical is a process of Reduction. Things are reduced from their triad form to the lesser state of the dyad form. In truth, all things retain their triad form, merely appearing to manifest as dyads.

Ultimately, at the highest level of expression, experience and understanding, all form becomes formless. Even the triad form of metaphysical reality dissolves into the formlessness of a Unified Whole, in which the triad is seen as simply a variation of the Single Thing That Is.

This cycle of solidifying and dissolving and solidifying and dissolving is a process that we could call the Endless Cycle of Perception. It is all a matter of how God thinks of Itself, and thus, how God sees Itself and how God experiences Itself.

An example of how All That Is manifests itself at various levels of perception is the human binary experience of Warm and Cold.

We say that a thing is either “warm” or that it is “cold.” This is a binary consideration suggesting that a thing is either this or that. In the physical world many people have a way of looking at things that categorizes them as either black or white. This “either/or” configuration is common.

Deeper exploration reveals that either/or configurations are simplistic at best. We find that there is more than simply “warm” or “cold,” but that there could also be that which is neither warm nor cold. (Water which is too warm to be called “cold” and too cold to be called “warm” is sometimes called “tepid.”)

There is a neutral state that exists between the extremities that form the binary system of things physical. This place of neutrality is the balancing point between the extremes of the dyad.

It is in recognizing the existence of this Balance Point that we acknowledge the True Nature of All Life to be at least a three-point system. All things in physical life are triangles simply appearing to be straight lines with a “beginning” and an “end.” That is, all things in physical life are Closed Systems that appear to be Open Systems.

In metaphysics this Reality is more apparent.

In the Body-Mind-Spirit triad, the Mind is the balancing point between the Body and the Spirit. The Body and the Spirit could be seen as the two extremes of a strictly binary system. In strictly binary thinking, things are either “physical” or “non-physical.” That is, they are considered to be either matter or anti-matter—or what we would call “body” or “spirit.” By thinking triangularly we are able to conclude that things can be both body and spirit. Indeed, this is exactly what we are.

This awareness is created by the Mind, which acts as a linkage, or balancing point, between the two extremities. It is in the Mind that we conceive of both the Body and the Spirit, and thus provide ourselves with the opportunity to experience both.

From the perspective of Ultimate Reality even the triad of Warm-Tepid-Cold (to say nothing of the triad, Body-Mind-Spirit) does not exist. Those words are merely limited expressions or perceptions of The One Thing That Is. (In the case of Warm-Tepid-Cold, the triad is an expression of The One Thing called “Temperature.” Similarly, Before-Now-After are simply limited expressions or perceptions of The One Thing called “Eternity.” Likewise, Body-Mind-Spirit are limited expressions or perceptions of The One Thing called Life.)

Let us utilize our first example to explain and express a universal truth in a way that can be comprehended by the human mind. In this example, we would call “Temperature” the Universal State of Things. From a universal point of view a thing is neither warm nor cold, but simply a specific expression or perception of That Which Is—which is Temperature. These expressions or perceptions may be described as “warm,” “cold” or “tepid,” but those words are just that—merely descriptions. Describing something in a particular way does not alter the fact that there is no separation in the Universal Whole.

In physical life we usually see (indeed, we usually choose to see) only a portion of the Universal Whole, which is a holograph. This limited perspective is what allows us to sort out data from the holograph in such a way that we may experience ourselves as a portion of the Data Itself.

In short, perception—how we look at things—is our way of becoming individualized within The Whole. Perception is a function of the Mind, the Balance Point between the body and the spirit.

This is a lengthy and somewhat sophisticated explanation of the love/fear paradigm as it is experienced within the framework of physical life as we know it. What I understand is that, in physical life, all things emerge from either Love or Fear. This is the Most Basic Dyad of all physical life. It is the Prime Factor. It is the “0″ and the “1″ of the Computer of Life.

Somewhere in between Love and Fear is a mid-point, at which neither one nor the other are experienced in any degree. This is the place of neutrality, or non-attachment, that is described by many Masters. It is a metaphysical place that exists in the Mind and not in physical reality. It is the balance point between the two, and it is in this place of perfect balance between the positive and negative aspects of the Binary System of Physical Life where all Masters reside.

Whereas human Masters reside in perfect serenity in the Balance Point of the Binary System, God resides everywhere within the System. Indeed, God IS the System. The word “God” is one name that we have given to The System. Another name is “Life.”

A Master can be described as existing in neither Love nor Fear because the Master holds the point of perfect balance between the two, turning the dyad into a triad by finding neutrality. God can be described as existing in neither Love nor Fear because God holds the totality of the triad as a single experience. It is not necessary for God to find a balance point between the extremities of the dyad, for God is the extremities, the neutrality, and everything in between.

Masters achieve what appears to be “Godliness” by striking a balance point between extremities of the dyad-experience in physical life. That Which Is God seeks not to strike a balance point, but is everything that would be balanced, and encompasses and includes everything in all experiences. God, therefore, is the sum total of every dyad, every triad, and everything that is anywhere existing.

The difference between Masters and God can thus be described as the difference between “Neutrality” and “Totality.” The Master is Neutral in all things. God is the Sum Total of all things.

Neutrality is the striking of Perfect Balance which is achieved by physical Masters in the physical world. Totality is the encompassing of All That Is.

It is possible for people in physical form, for human beings, to move from Partiality to Neutrality to Totality in the expression of that which we call Life. It is possible for human beings to experience the Oneness of everything, and thus transcend both the dyad and the triad of more limited experience.

This is what the extraordinary book Communion with God invites us to do. Yet we must not remain in a state of communion with All That Is, for if we do, we no longer experience That Which Is in any of its differentiated forms, and, therefore, That Which Is ceases to “be” in our experience.

We have crossed the divide between Everything and Nothing—which is the Great Dyad of all physical reality. We become One again with All That Is, but if we remain in the Oneness, our Oneness cannot be experienced, because there is nothing else but the Oneness, and in the absence of that which is Not, that Which Is is not.

This is the Unsolved Mystery of Life. This is the Untold Secret. This is that aspect of the Universal Process by which Life expresses Itself that is rarely discussed and rarely explained, even in higher schools of esoteric knowledge.

Once we understand this, we cease to desire even the Eternal State of Reunification with Divinity, for we understand that were such an experience to be eternal, it would end immediately.

This is the place where That Which Begins and That Which Ends meet. It is the indefinable, non-locatable space/time in the Cycle of Life where the Beginning and the End are One.

This is where God resides. Indeed, this is what God IS. It is what is described in human sacred and esoteric literature as the “Am/Not Am.” It is what God meant when God said, “I am the Alpha and the Omega.”

Dear Neale: Who does God Communicate with? He communicates with me. I am sorry — he keeps asking me to contact you (or something does) My name is Maureen, I live in AUstralia. Thats the only thing I am instructed to write.

Dear Maureen…God talks to all of us, all the time. The question is not, to whom does God talk? The question is, who listens? People write to me all the time saying, “God told me to contact you.” I have no doubt this is true. And is what God told ME to SAY to you…

You are in communication with God all the time. God talks to you every day, in many ways. You do not believe this, and so you have come to me to hear it from an “authoritative source.” You believe that God talks to me, but may not be saying much to you. And so long as you believe this, this will be true for you. (“As you believe, so will it be done unto you.”) So God sent you here, to me, so that I could send you back to God, in you.

I would say just a few more words about that. You cannot imagine the light that comes to a person’s face when a copy of CwG that they never thought they’d be able to buy comes to them in the mail. For people in prisons, this is an especially poignant moment. I have had more letters from persons who are incarcerated than any other segment of the population, and they are almost always the same. “Thank you,” they say, “for helping me to see that I still have some value, that my life can still have some purpose, even though I will be ‘inside’ for many more years to come. You have given me a reason to want to keep living.”

Of course, it is not me who has done so, it is the message from these extraordinary books. It is God.

The work of The Divine is being done in these texts, and whenever we make one of them available to others, we are doing that work as well. Here’s one thing that you might be able to do to move this work forward—at very little cost to you. Check out your local Used Book Store. Often you can find copies of some of the CwG books there, and often you can pick them up for pennies on the dollar.

Check it out, and see if you might not be able to send a few books to Kate at our office. She would be thrilled. She has taken our mission to spread and share this soul-awakening message to heart. This is all more than just a job to her. This is her purpose and her function as a Bringer of the Light.

All of us, of course, are that. We are all God’s Messengers, and our Message is our life, lived. It is the way you move through your day-to-day that sends a message to the world of what is true about who we are and why we are here.

Many of you have been so touched by the information found in CwG that you have wanted to share it with others. And some of you have told me through the years that you wished you had a better understanding of the messages of CwG so that you could talk to others more clearly. For instance, some have wanted to facilitate a study group on CwG, but felt they needed just a little more knowledge of how to explain it all.

Have you ever wished you just understood it all better, for yourself? Well, call Will at 352-442-2244, because he is signing up folks now for the next Deep Study Intensive, a course that I have put together to satisfy that need.

It will be offered soon, March 10 through March 12. The program is three 12-hour days intended for persons who really want to explore the messages of CwG in a detailed way, asking specific and meaningful questions about every aspect of the material and how it can be applied in everyday life.

I work closely with participants from 9 am to 9 pm in this very special 3-day excursion of the soul. We know that this program is not for everyone. Indeed, we expect that only a handful of people from around the world will participate. So you will be in a very small group, purposefully limited to 30, so that everyone will have the opportunity to ask those questions they’ve been holding for how long—and to the many topics covered in these remarkable texts in considerable depth.

The world is in need of sharers with now. People who can share from their heart about a New Kind of God—a God who can free all of humanity from the oppression of its beliefs in a violent, angry, vindictive Deity. I invite you to call Will right now at 352-442-2244 and grab one of the few remaining spaces. I know, I know, it’s short notice, but people whose soul has been inspired very often move very fast—and, there is this: we are today confronted, as Barack Obama would put it, with “the fierce urgency of now.”

And I will see you all here next week…
Love and Hugs,
Neale.

The CwG Reader

Further explorations of the Conversations with God material from the author

---

Neale Donald Walsch through the years has given hundreds of talks and written scores of articles revolving around the messages he received in his Conversations with God. Now, every seven days, we will present in this space a transcript or reprint of those presentations. We invite you to Copy and Save each one of them, creating a personal a collection of contemporary and uplifting spiritual thought which you may reference at any time. We hope you will find this a constant source of insight and inspiration.

This week’s offering: The Forward to Neale Donald Walsch on Relationships (a small book dealing with the mysteries of love and available from the most bookstores, Amazon.com, and the ReCreation Foundation), combined with a commentary on relationships offered in a series of entries on cwgblog.com during the days preceding Valentine’s Day, 2007. This is a longer-than-usual edition of the CwG Reader, because the subject deserves all the attention we can give it.

Relationship is the most important experience of our lives. Without it, we are nothing.

Literally.

That is because, in the absence of anything else, we are not.

Fortunately, there is not a one of us who does not have a relationship. Indeed, all of us are in relationship with everything and everyone, all of the time. We have a relationship with ourselves, we have a relationship with our family, we have a relationship with our environment, we have a relationship with our work, we have a relationship with each other.

In fact, everything that we know and experience about ourselves, we understand within the context that is created by our relationships. For this reason, relationships are sacred. All relationships. And somewhere within the deepest reaches of our heart and soul, we know this. That is why we yearn so for relationships—and for relationships of meaning. It is also, no doubt, why we have such trouble with them. At some level, we must be very clear how much is at stake. And so, we’re nervous about them. Normally confident, competent people fumble and fall, stumble and stall, crumble and call for help.

Indeed, nothing has caused more problems for our species, created more pain, produced more suffering, or resulted in more tragedy, than that which was intended to bring us our greatest joy—our relationships with each other. Neither individually nor collectively, socially nor politically, locally nor internationally, have we found a way to live in harmony. We simply find it very difficult to get along—much less actually love each other.

What’s this all about? What’s up here? I think I know. Not that I’m some kind of a genius, mind you, but I am a good listener. And I’ve been asking questions about this for a very long time. A few years ago, I began receiving answers. I believe those responses to have come from God. At the time I received them, I was so impacted and so impressed that I decided to keep a written record of what I was being given. That record became the Conversations with God series of books, which have become best sellers around the world.

It is not necessary for you to join me in my belief about the source of my replies in order to receive benefit from them. All that is necessary is to remain open to the possibility that there just might be something that most humans do not fully understand about relationships, the understanding of which could change everything.

Essentially, what God tells us in CWG is that we — most of us — enter into relationships for the wrong reasons. That is, for reasons having nothing to do with our overall purpose in life. When our reason for relationship is aligned with our soul’s reason for being, not only are our relationships understood to be sacred, they are rendered joyful as well.

“Joyful relationships.” For far too many people, that phrase almost sounds like an oxymoron—a self-contradicting, mutually exclusive term. Something like military intelligence, or efficient government. Yet it is possible to have joyful relationships, and the extraordinary insights in the Conversations with God books show us how.

End of book Forward.

Now…from the CWG Blog, the week before Valentine’s Day, 2007…

You must never give up.

No matter how hopeless it might seem, you must never give up Love’s Dream.

And no, it is not required that living The Dream must hurt. If it hurts, you are not living The Dream, you are living a nightmare and calling it a dream, hoping that it will become one.

Stop it. Stop the struggling. The Dream has no struggle in it. If you are struggling, you are not living The Dream.

Now “struggle” does not mean the small discomforts or the once-in-a-while feelings of not-okayness that are encountered by any two people who have chosen to be together intimately. It does not mean the little differences that from time to time have to be worked out. “Struggle” means just that: struggle. Ongoing difficulty. Frequent and recurring and serious discord, disharmony, disagreement.

“Struggle” means that things that ought to be simple become complex, moments which could easily be serene erupt into turmoil. Nervousness replaces excitement, sadness replaces bliss, walking on eggshells replaces walking on clouds.

You are struggling in your relationship when wariness overcomes eagerness, when pain pushes happiness out of the room…and when this happens often. Not once in a while. Not now and then. Often.

One can’t ever fully relax anymore. Just when it seems like, well, this isn’t so bad, I can make this work…boom…the door slams, the bomb drops, the sweetness crashes and reveals itself to be not the stuff of sturdiness that can be counted on, but an oh-so-fragile thing that cannot withstand even the gentle touch of intimacy.

I am asked, more than any other single question about relationship: When is it time to leave? When is it time to quit?

I am asked: How do I know I am not supposed to be here, learning something? How do I know that this is not all for my own good, my own evolution? How do I know that I am not just “giving up” — again…?

I am asked: What does it take to make “love” work? And I answer, “Love should not be work. Love should be play. It should feel playful and joyful, not stressful.”

The intimate relationships in many people’s lives have not been long lasting. Happily Ever After has not been a universal (or even a common) experience. Indeed, it must sometimes seem to many that there is just no way to do this thing called Relationship and do it well.

People look in the mirror and ask, “Is it only me who has not been given the necessary equipment? It is only me who lacks sufficient understanding? It is only me who falls short on willingness or commitment or determination or skill or patience or selflessness or whatever-in-the-world-it-takes to make Happily Ever After work?”

Or is it that human beings are simply chasing an impossible dream? Is The Dream of real and lasting and wonderfully joyful love nothing but a fantasy that can never be fulfilled?

No. I don’t believe that. And I believe that people who have tried and tried and failed have, at least, the opportunity to learn from their experience. There is no such thing as a lost cause. Love’s Dream can be lived. That is God’s promise.

There are couples who have lived it, who have made it to the Promised Land. Some found each other early in life, some found each other later, after much trial and error with others. All has not been perfect on their journey, all has not been smiles and laughter in every moment. But much of it has been. And all of it has been worth it. Every minute has been worth it.

There are those who say you have to “work” at relationship. Anything worth having is worth working for, the mantra goes. Okay. Fair enough. But this should be the kind of “work” that feels soooo good to do. Like Barbra Streisand singing. Like Richard Gere dancing. Like Nancy Kerrigan on ice. Like Anna Pavlova and Vaslav Nijinsky and Mikhail Baryshnikov in ballet shoes. Like Roger Clemens throwing a baseball. Yes, there’s work involved…but oh, the joy of it, the sheer joy of it!

Yes, love — real love, true love, lasting love — may be “work,” but it should be a work of art. It should be something you love to do. A wise person once said, “May you always love the loving you are doing.”

Look at your relationship right now. Are you loving the loving you are doing?

If you love the loving you are doing, it is not “work” in the sense of being a struggle. It is a joy. Working to create something is very much different from working to hold something together. Everyone who has done both knows the difference. You can feel the difference, and no one has to tell you what is going on.

It has to do with effort and ease.

You know if, in your relationship, you are at a place of effort or if you are at ease.

Barbra Streisand sings effortlessly. The breathless grace of Nancy Kerrigan is effortless. That is precisely what makes it breathless grace. This is not to say that no “work” went into it. Surely it did. But joy came out of it. Work went in, and joy came out. When work goes in and joy does not come out, then “work” has become “effort.”

This is the state of many relationships.

When is enough enough?

That question cannot be answered by anyone other than the person asking it. But the question rarely goes without answer. The issue is not whether the person asking the question KNOWS the answer, but whether the person HEEDS it.

The next day’s blog

Many people marry or partner with the same person throughout their adult lives. Some people actually remain with the same human being, other people partner with several different human beings over the years, but it is the same person.

Many people remove themselves from relationships because they are not going well, not serving either partner, really, but then go out and create a new relationship with the exact same person merely wearing a new body. There is a different human being in the room, but not a different person…if you know what I mean.

I know a woman who has married the same man three times. Each guy was different, but exactly the same. (In this case, they were all alcoholic abusers, sorry to say.)

Why do we do this? Why do some people “marry their parents,” as the saying goes? Why do others choose the same kind and type of person to be their spouse or life partner over and over again? Some say it is to pay off a karmic debt. But Conversations with God says there is not such thing as karmic debt. There is, however, a Cosmic Wheel; a cycle of life that brings us back to the same starting point, and that gives us an eternity of opportunities to heal/experience what we choose to work with in our physical lives.

There is a way to break this chain, however. It is not necessary to keep running into the same problem in every relationship. It is possible to find and create a new kind of relationship, where we finally give ourselves a break from the age-old pattern. A relationship that is happy, healthy, and fine. The relationship of our dreams.

Yes, it is possible to have-find-create such a relationship.

The next day’s blog

The first step in finding-creating-having the relationship of our dreams is to get clear with ourselves about the real reason to enter into a relationship to begin with.

The purpose of relationship, CwG tells us, is not to find a person who can meet all or most of our needs, but to experience ourselves in the most extraordinary way…which is, basically, a person who has no needs.

Our relationship with everything was designed as the perfect vehicle through which we might announce and declare, experience and express, fulfill and become the next grandest version of the greatest vision ever we held about Who We Are.

We cannot do this in a vaccuum. We can only do this in relationship to someone or something else. Therefore it could be said that, in a sense, all other people, places, and events exist so that we can create this experience of and for ourselves. Indeed, we call these people, places, and events into our lives for that precise reason.

They call us into their lives for the very same reason. We are all co-creating together, collaborating in the biggest enterprise the Universe has ever seen: God, godding!

We cannot enter into this experience with the most beneficial results, however, if we have not taken the Second Step necessary to the creation of all fulfilling relationships. Fascinatingly, this is a step that most people fail to take, have never taken, and have in many cases never even heard about.

The Second Step necessary to the creation of all fulfilling relationships is, fascinatingly, a step that most people fail to take, have never taken, and have in many cases never even heard about.

You must decide Who You Are and who you Choose To Be.

Very few people do this. Very few. Over the past two decades I have counseled privately and in group sessions with well over 15,000 people. Most of them have had issues in one of three areas: prosperity, relationship, life purpose. Nothing surprising there, because there isn’t much else going on…however, here is something that, at first, did surprise me:

Virtually none of the people who were coming to me had any idea what in the world they were trying to do with their life. They had no thoughts about their True Identity, no clarity about The Process of Life, and in no insight into the Journey of the Soul upon which they were embarked.

They had not made the most basic life decision: they had not decided who they are or who they chose to be. This made it extraordinarily difficult to live their lives in any rewarding or fruitful manner. They were like children running around with blindfolds on, playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey. They kept walking into walls and bumping into the furniture of their lives. They were getting nowhere, and tiring themselves out doing it. This led to anger, frustration, emotional upset, unexplained outbursts, and an underlying sea of discontent and disharmony upon which they set sail, hoping to reach the distant shore of goals they had not even set for their lives.

Very little in their lives seemed to be working, least of all their most important relationships. Flailing about in this sea of discontent, they reached out to others in the hopes of saving themselves from drowning. But rather than finding themselves being pulled out of their discontent and dysfunction, they pulled others into it along with them.

Relationships — and, most significantly, romantic relationships — can never work optimally in the long run if they are entered into for the wrong reason. They can seem to work, but even those relationships that appear to be providing some modicum of happiness are only touching the surface of what is truly possible in a Sacred Relationship that is entered into for the true purpose of the souls.

There is only one reason to enter into a relationship, and that has to do with providing oneself the opportunity to announce and declare, experience and express, become and fulfill our highest notion of who we really are.

Masters enter into all relationships — from the most casual and seemingly insignificant to the most intimate and important — not as someone who seeks to receive, but as someone who seeks to give. And what it is that they seek to give is the Essence of who they really are. Masters do this not for altruistic reasons (that is, to please the other and to serve the other), but for self-creating reasons (that is, to experience the Self as Who They Choose to Be). The irony is that by accomplishing the second, they accomplish the first as well. They do please and serve the other.

We can do the same as Masters do…yet if we have not decided who we really are, there is no way that we can express the Essence of that.

Therefore, the second step in creating fulfilling relationships is the making of the most important decision one could ever make: Who am I, and who do I choose to be, in relationship not only to this other person, but to all of life?

This decision will set the course of our lives. It identifies the shore to which we would set sail. It creates the target. It becomes the destination. And no matter how stormy the sea becomes, it is our safe harbor — one which we cannot fail to reach — for it draws us to it like a magnet. The attraction of the Self to the Self’s highest idea about the Self cannot be overcome by the momentary storms of day-to-day encounters with life.

This does not mean that we will never “end” a relationship — or that we never should. It does mean that we will enter them and “end” them for entirely different reasons than we might have used as our summons before. It does mean that our relationships can be healthier than they have ever been. Even those that we are changing can be healthy, for a change in the nature of a relationship need not lead to anger and upset, sadness or frustration, and need not produce the experience of damage or hurt.

I have put the word “end” in quotation marks in the above paragraph because it is important to understand that one never truly “ends” any relationship, but merely changes its form.

The next day’s blog

It is not really possible to end any human relationship. That is because there is no such thing as “time” and there is no such thing as “another”.

These are very advanced spiritual/metaphysical concepts, and the average person may face a challenge in wrapping his or her thoughts around such ideas. Embracing or accepting such thoughts as one’s innermost reality can change one’s life in an instant. It can certainly change one’s experience of relationship.

Relationships, in the normal human understanding of that word, take many forms. In advanced spiritual understanding, relationships take only one form, for there is only one form of relationship: the relationship that one has with the Self.

There is no one else but the Self. There is no other time but the Present. In the Present and Only Moment of Now, I Am All There Is.

I am aware that saying such a thing could be seen as remarkably narcissistic and arrogant is not considered in a spiritual context. I am aware that saying such a thing even in a spiritual context to an audience that does not understand or accept the context which is being embraced would also be considered unbelievably arrogant. Perhaps even blasphemous.

Therefore, I say these things here with some caution, presuming to be speaking to an audience that fully understands, fully accepts, fully embraces, and attempts to fully practice the messages of Conversations with God.

Given that there was no one but the Self — that God is all there is — everything we do with and for another we do with and for the Self…and everything we fail to do with and for another we fail to do with and for the Self. Our awareness of this changes, for us, the entire nature of relationships. It alters our understanding of how we are invited by Life to “be” with each other. Indeed, it changes the whole purpose of our relationship with every person and every thing.

The purpose then becomes quite simple: to create the Self, to express the Self, to experience the Self, to become the Self in One’s Total Experience. By Total Experience I mean one’s spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, relative, and absolute experience.

Relationships, in the normal human understanding of the word, take many forms, as I have said. It is not necessary to take or retain any form in order to retain one’s True Identity. It is not necessary to function within the framework of any particular relationship form in order for the relationship with the Self to be fully developed and totally realized in the ever-present moment of Now.

Given the True Nature of our Identity, we are always in relationship with everything that exists. Therefore it is impossible for us to either “begin” or “end” any relationship. When, in normal human terms, we say we are going to “end” a relationship, what we mean is that we are going to change the form of that relationship. We are going to change the way we experience it. We are going to change the way we are creating it.

This is important for us to understand, because if we think that we are ever going to end a relationship, we are mistaken. You will always, and forever, have a relationship with every person with whom you have ever had any kind of relationship at all. (Which means, of coure, everybody on the planet.) You cannot “end a relationship.” You can only change the way it is being created and experienced.

Likewise, you cannot “begin a relationship” or “enter into a relationship.” You can only create and experience your relationship with any other person, place, or thing in a new way. That is, in a way in which you have not experienced it heretofore.

When you approach a person you have never “met” (encountered in physical form in this present lifetime), you may therefore wish to ask yourself a simple question: How do I now wish to recreate my relationship with this “new” person in my life?

Remembering that the True and Only Purpose of relationship is to announce and declare, express and fulfill, experience and become Who You Really Are… there can be only two questions that are asked with regard to human relationships:

1. Where am I going?

2. Who is going with me?

Do not invert the order of the questions.

Do not — under any circumstances — invert the order of the questions.

Is that clear?

Are you clear about that?

Good. Then we can move on.

And finally, another blog, the final entry, from the same week…

So this is the week of Valentine’s Day, yes? Then it would be very appropriate for us to take a look at what Conversations with God has to say about love and relationships.

Most people, God said to me, enter into relationships for the wrong reason. The purpose of relationship is for us to create a context within which we might announce and declare, express and fulfill, our highest notion of who we really are. Very few people understand romantic relationships in this way.

I certainly didn’t in my life, and since I have been given this information I have found myself challenged at the very highest level. I have not always met the challenge. Indeed, I have failed time and time again to fulfill the highest notion I have had about myself in my relationships with others. Yet I believe that by my failures I have grown, and come to know more and more about what it means to be truly loving.

The first person that I have to be truly loving with, is myself. I know that sounds like nothing more than a shallow cliché, but I assure you that it is profoundly true — and immensely important. Loving oneself does not mean being selfish. It does mean not becoming a chameleon, not allowing yourself to change colors and change truths and change intentions and change the way it is that you are as an individual human being simply to keep another person in the room. It means loving yourself enough to be authentically YOU even if it looks like doing so will cause others to depart.

What will happen, in truth, is that certain people will depart, but certain other people will join you in your life in a new and powerful way. They will join you because they resonate with who you are. They are in harmony with the very essence of your being. They agree with your agenda. They hold the same intentions. They are compatible with you in many ways. They are not the same as you, but they are compatible. I cannot begin to tell you how important this is. A person cannot know — nor can you — whether or not they are compatible unless they know who you are in your Truthful Being.

This is a phrase that I have coined to describe a person who lives in, and comes from, his or her truth in every moment. I made a New Year’s resolution a few weeks ago. My resolution reads like this: “Tell your truth as soon as you know it.” For years I did not do this. In fact, for most of my life I have lied. I told small lies and big lies, trivial lies and important lies. And I did it because I felt that it served me to do it. Now I see that nothing has disserved me more. So old so soon, so smart so late.

And so on this Valentine’s Day I invite you to love yourself as you have never loved yourself before. Love yourself enough to speak your deepest truth to everyone whose life you touch. And especially to your Significant Other. Please speak to your Beloved from your place of transparency and total visibility in every moment. Hide nothing. Shield nothing. Stand naked before your Beloved not only physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well. Let yourself be seen, let yourself be known exactly as you are. This will be the greatest gift you could ever give to anyone, and the most wonderful present you could give to the person with whom you share your life.

And so, this is not only an act of self-love, but an act of enormous love for another as well. For the willingness to be absolutely vulnerable and completely without defense in the space of another is the highest tribute that one heart can pay to a second human being. It says more than all the store-bought gifts could possibly ever convey. And it tells more about you than anything else you could possibly do in order to communicate who you are and how much you love.

The willingness to lose another rather than hold them in your life under false pretenses is the highest act of love. And the irony of all this is that having the courage to share what it is that you are certain will drive the other person away… is very often precisely what inspires them to stay. For they then know that they are not living with an “image” of you, but with a reality. A truth. The authentic article. The real thing.

Most people can live with reality. What they can’t live with is false hopes, misplaced dreams, and the knowledge that they cannot trust the words that come from the mouth of the person they love — not because that person is mean or cruel or deliberately trying to be hurtful, but simply because that person is so wounded that he or she cannot speak in words that can be trusted. They do not know their own truth. Because they have never identified it. Because they have never had the urge to speak it and to declare it and to announce it for fear of losing another. The result is that they have lost many others, over and over again in their life.

People with whom I counsel ask me how they can announce their truth to another when they do not even know it. They ask me to help them identify their truth, to come to understand who they really are and what they really want. I tell them that they must begin by simply verbalizing their truth. They must begin by talking. Out loud. To others. About everything.

How they feel. What they want right now. It may be quite true that many people do not know what they want in the long run, but it is not true that people do not know what they want right here and now. Everyone knows what he or she wants right here, right now. Everyone knows that. It is merely a question of whether we will have the courage to speak our truth about that. If we hold that truth in, and if we have done so for years, we literally lose touch with the essence of who we are and what we desire. We fall into a quiet resentment. We begin living lives of quiet desperation. We say less and less. We think more and more. We turn inward. And our significant relationship with our beloved other becomes unfulfilling — and we don’t even know why.

So this Valentine’s Day give the gift of truth. Forget the candy, forget the beautiful card, forget the flowers, forget the dinner out and the negligee and whatever else it is that you thought would be the “perfect gift” on Wednesday evening. Just tell the truth. Tell the good truth and the bad truth. Say the words that you know will be welcomed, and the words that you know will not. Be brave. Be courageous. Be authentic. Be truthful. And in so being, be the essence of love itself.
