On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know…
…that you are okay just the way you are…and so is
everybody else.
Sometimes we want the kind of acceptance that we
arenot willing to give. Yet life is a two-way street,
and we do so much better when we send to others
what we want them to send to us.
Just a gentle reminder today that you are wonderful,
and the person right next to you is, too!
Love, Your Friend….

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know…
…that if you are going to fuss over things, it is important
to pick your battles.
The ideal, of course, would be to “fuss” over nothing.
But given that we are all human, that may not be possible.
What is possible is picking much more carefully the things
that we are prepared to make a fuss over.
Ask yourself: “How much difference will this make when
I’m 85?” If you think it will matter then, let it matter now.
If you make everything matter now, you may not get to
be 85.
Love, Your Friend….

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know…
…that home really is where the heart is. And if your heart
is centered on God, you are ‘safe at home’ everywhere.
In this day and time of continuing change, many people
find themselves moving a great deal, and constantly
having to try to make yet one more place “like home.”
Yet home is a quality you bring to a place, not a quality
that a place brings to you. Let yourself feel at home
anywhere and people everywhere will welcome you
always. And isn’t a place where you are always
welcome…’home’?
So feel good where you are right now. That’s mastery.
Love, Your Friend….

| Notes From Neale
Hello, Everyone… I am excited this week to share with you a wonderful excerpt from The New Revelations that I happened upon the other day as I was re-reading this extraordinary text. This passage answers a question that I am asked all the time, and I just knew as soon as I chanced upon it that I wanted to put it in this space, so that you could be touched by it! Here it is…enjoy! I have to admit that I always did find it hard to believe God would tell people they may not intermarry, or that women must not allow any portion of their body to be seen in public, or that couples may not use contraceptives, or that men must wear beards. I never did understand why God felt he had to give human beings so many orders. I don’t. I don’t have to give orders to anyone, and I’ve never done so. Never? No. And I never will. You never will? You mean that we will never know what God really wants? No. Why? Why would you do this to us? Do what to you? Why would you tell us to follow God’s law, to obey your wishes, and then not tell us what you really want? Because there is nothing that I do want. And this is what you cannot understand or refuse to accept. There is nothing that God wants or needs. God demands nothing, commands nothing, requires nothing, compels nothing. Teach this in your seminaries and your madrasas. God neither orders nor requests, insists nor expects, anything. Tell this to your young. I am the Author of Everything. I am the Creator and the Created. There is nothing that is that I am not. I have no need to give orders to anyone. To whom would I give orders? There is no one to command but me. I am the All In All. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. And whom would I punish were my orders not kept? Would I use my right hand to slap my left? Would I bite my nose to spite my face? Your teachers and your doctors of law, your priests and your ulamas, tell you that God is to be feared, for He is a vengeful God. You are to live in fear of God’s wrath, they say. You are to tremble in His presence. Your whole life you are to fear the terrible judgment of the Lord. For God is “just,” you are told. And God knows, you will be in trouble when you confront the terrible justice of the Lord. You are, therefore, to be obedient to God’s commands. Or else. Most of you, therefore, spend much of your adult lives searching for the “right way” to worship God, to obey God, to serve God. The irony of all this is that I do not want your worship, I do not need your obedience, and it is not necessary to serve me. These behaviors are the behaviors historically demanded of their subjects by monarchs–egomaniacal, insecure, tyrannical monarchs at that. They are not Godly demands in any sense, and it seems remarkable that the world hasn’t by now concluded that the demands are counterfeit, having nothing to do with the needs of Deity. Deity has no needs. All That Is is exactly that: all that is. It therefore wants, or lacks, nothing–by definition. If you choose to believe in a God who somehow needs something–and has such hurt feelings if He doesn’t get it that He punishes those from whom He expected to receive it–then you choose to believe in a God much smaller than I. You truly are Children of a Lesser God. No, my children, please let me assure you again, through this present writing, as I have done in writings past, that I am without needs. I require nothing. Then you haven’t given us “orders”? No. It was human beings who felt they had to give human beings orders, in order to keep order. And the best way they knew how to get people to follow orders was to say that they came directly from God. There were also those who sincerely believed that they were receiving directives from God about how life should be lived, and what they said that they received was passed on by others in good faith. Yet this does not mean that what was passed on was always accurate, nor does it mean that the person who claims to have been the original recipient of these revelations was infallible. Any more than this book is infallible. That is correct. That is exactly right. Any claim of infallibility for this book would be inaccurate. It would be inaccurate to say that this book is accurate. Yes. So this book is accurate when it says that it is inaccurate. That’s clever, and that’s another yes. So if it’s inaccurate, why should I believe it? You should not believe it. You should apply it and see what works. Incidentally, put every other writing that claims to be a communication from God to the same test. Wow, I love that passage. I hope that you will copy it and paste it up on your refrigerator, clip it and send it to friends, post it on Facebook, get it out there for all the world to see! Love and Hugs, P.S. If you would like to ask me about this passage, or discuss any other message you have found in CWG–or, for that matter, if you would simply like to discuss a personal challenge or problem you are now facing, please join me this week at our subscription-based (50-cents day) Internet television service, CWG.tv for Talk to Neale, this Sunday and every Sunday at 1 pm Pacific Times.

Letters to the Editor
Hi Neale…At a seminar in Bergen, Norway we, the audience, could ask questions. I asked to be recommended which of your books I could get for my very sick aunt in Norwegian. The answer was Home with God. The book was bought and signed.
Before mailing it to my aunt I read it myself and told my aunt about the book on the phone. She was very interested and said she wanted to read the whole thing. She lasted much longer than expected, and passed about a year after that.
At her funeral her grown kids told me they had found this book, which was even signed by the author, and that they had no idea she had had it and that they had brought only that book and some photographs to my aunt’s favorite sanctuary, her cabin in the mountains, to keep there in memory of her and for all visitors to the cabin to see.
I told them the story of how the book came to their Mother and I believe they were totally in awe. I could not find any other forum than this to tell this story and say Thank You to Neale…Mai, Bergen (Note: This letter first appeared in the Ask Neale section of the website at www.nealedonaldwalsch.com)

Change your conversation, change your life
Findhorn Foundation, Scotland, UK
A 3-day retreat, 27 – 29 August 2011
Neale Donald Walsch (by videolink) and Sarah Rozenthuler
With faculty from the Findhorn Foundation
During these times of upheaval, unrest and turbulence, we need some creative, challenging conversations about what is happening in our lives and in our world. Conversations about who we are, why we are here and how we can evolve to the next level – personally, politically and globally.
In this 3-day retreat, we will explore how to harness the surge of new energy now entering the planet, for the betterment of humanity. By joining together in conversation, we will have the opportunity to speak our truth, listen to the field, agree or disagree, and spiral out into new possibilities.
Using the technology of psychology and the wisdom of spirituality, there will be a flow of different actitivities including whole group dialogue*, small group discussion, chair-work, experiential exercises, meditation and movement. We will equip ourselves to have life-changing conversations, both whilst we’re together and in our worlds beyond the retreat. Themes include:
• Calling up our courage
• Creating a “container”
• Using the power of intention
• Connecting with respect
• Starting a new chapter
There will be two live interactive sessions of around 1.5 hours each with Neale Donald Walsch via internet broadcast. Neale will share his leading edge thinking about how we can better navigate planetary and personal change.
You are warmly invited to join us for this retreat where you will be inspired, energised and equipped to contribute to Life as you have never contributed before.
Sarah Rozenthuler is a dialogue consultant, with 10 years’ experience working with large organisations such as the World Bank, the BBC and the UK Civil Service. A chartered psychologist, she is author of the forthcoming book, Life-Changing Conversations (Duncan-Baird, March 2012). Her website is:

Short Takes…
IMAGINE BEING IN A ROUND YURT, SITTING ON THE FLOOR with about 12 or 13 other people, talking quietly with Neale Donald Walsch and his wife, Em, for a week about “everything CWG.” — You’ve just imagined something very real…It’s the Conversations with God School, a 7-day event limited to just 18 students gathering in a beautiful natural setting (cabins, a lodge, and a yurt along a creek) in the Southern Oregon countryside. The School provides extremely personal time with Neale and offers a chance to explore, more deeply than you may ever have before, all of the messages and concepts of this remarkable CWG cosmology.
It also offers you a striking opportunity to finish unfinished business—healing, at last, old hurts and disappointments. The program runs from July 10-16 and yes, there is still space left for two more people. You could be one of them. The week’s program concludes with each person having an opportunity to experience their own conversation with God, under Neale’s guidance.
For info and to register…call Will Richardson at 352-442-2244 now. Or, to take a look at the entire curriculum of this one-week school, follow this link…
