Neale Talks About Why Life is a Mess...

Life on this planet is a mess right now, and there is a good reason for it. Perhaps your life is a mess on a personal level, too. If so, do not despair. There is a good reason for that, too.

Conversations with God says that the moment you decide about anything, everything unlike it comes into the space. This is the Law of Opposites, playing itself out in a big way. If you do not understand this law, you will not understand what is going on around you, and you will become very discouraged, disheartened, disillusioned, and despairing. Only if you are clear that the World Opposing You is really the Universe Agreeing With You can you avoid these emotional pitfalls.

"That is what evolution calls upon us to be. Clear. Conscious. Aware."

“The World Opposing You is the Universe Agreeing With You” is another way of saying that Macro Truth Differs from Micro Reality. Yet it is the difference which makes Macro Truth possible to experience. Without Differences, Absolutes are impossible to Experience. That is because there is Absolutely Nothing Else. And Conversations with God makes it clear that “in the absence of That Which You Are Not, That Which You ARE…Is NOT.”

In the absence of “cold,” “hot” is not. In the absence of “up,” “down” is not. In the absence of “good,” “bad” is not.

And vice-versa.

This is the Law of Opposites, and it cannot be ignored in the physical world, or what CwG calls “the Realm of the Relative.” Only in the Realm of the Absolute can the Law of Opposites be overcome. Yet that does not mean that while we are with our physical bodies we must be miserable. It merely means we must be clear. We must be conscious. We must be aware.

That is what evolution calls upon us to be. Clear. Conscious. Aware.

We must also be willing. We are as a magician who is playing with his own tricks, and we must be willing to play by the rules of the game. We must know and understand that while what is going on looks very real, it is a trick. It is a trick of the reality in which we live. And so we are to not believe a moment of it. This is going to be very difficult, especially when things are going very badly, because it can all seem very real.

It is very real, within the limited vision of our narrow perspective. Only when you stand back and see the grand view can you even begin to understand. Only when you step back far enough to see the entire tapestry can you see the wonder of its weavings—which look, up close, like a total mess.
Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross had a wonderful and picturesque way of stating this principle: Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms, you would never see the beauty of their carvings.

You must understand that you live in two realities. There are really two versions of you. There is Macro You (sometimes called Big Self) and there is Micro You (Little Self). Another way of putting this is that there is Universal Self and Local Self. The part of You that is far away can see the entire tapestry. The part of You that is localized is up close, with your face right on the surface of the tapestry. All you can see are the micro-interweavings of the threads. You see things on the surface, and on the surface of things, they do not look very pretty.

If you can step back right now, if you will just step back and look at things from a distance, you will be able to see things from a larger perspective—the larger perspective of your entire life—from which you will be able to see and understand exactly why that thread is going that certain way.

I want to give you an example from my own life. The other night I gave a wonderful talk in Ft. Collins, Colorado. I won’t even try to be modest about it. I was really on my game. I was up to the task. I was in the zone. And when I got off stage I said to myself, “Wow, now that’s Who I Really Am!”

Then I got back to my hotel room, opened my email, and found some very unwelcome news. Immediately I was disheartened, upset, beside myself. I mean to say that I was literally that. I was beside my Self. My Self, my True Self, was watching all of this and wondering when my False Self, my Little Self, was going to “get it.” As soon as I declare myself to be anything, everything unlike it will come into the room.

That is a wonderful statement, and I want you to memorize it and use it often in your life. “This gift is too big to see up close.”

It has to. It must. Otherwise, I cannot experience Who I Really Am. Because if “cold” were not part of the experience, “hot” could never be. That is why all Masters have said, “Judge not, and neither condemn.” My job in that moment was to not judge the content of that email, but to praise it. For the real issue in my life is not whether I am demonstrating Who I Am when I am in front of an audience, but when I am alone; not only when things are going well, but when they are not; not just when I am on top of the world, but when I have hit bottom.

When I step back far enough to see the gift in the contents of that email, I step back far enough to receive it. For the gift is way too big to see up close.

That is a wonderful statement, and I want you to memorize it and use it often in your life. “This gift is too big to see up close.”

When I enlarge my perspective, I alter my perception, seeing things that I could not previously see. This is what is meant by, “Once I was blind, but now I see.”

Then the next question will be, will I believe what I see? Will I believe that I am Who I Really Am? Every outward evidence will be to the contrary. Yet it is not with my outer sight, but with my inner sight, that I must look at the image of my Self that is right in front of me. Not with my two eyes, but with my third eye. Then I have insight, and I see things differently. Not only the Self, but all with which I have surrounded the Self. All the conditions, circumstances, situations, people, places, and events. Then, my world itself changes. Then, believing is seeing.

What are you believing when you are seeing what you are seeing around you? If you changed your belief, would what you are seeing look a different way? Would IN-sight create a new OUT-look?

The answer is yes.

Of course, you cannot pretend that what you are looking at is not there. That would be crazy, and it would make you crazy. But you can see its “thereness” in a new way. You can decide that you put it there. Then you will stop seeing yourself as the “victim” of it, and begin looking at why you put it there.

What is it you are trying to tell yourself? What is it about your Self that you are trying to remember?

What is it you are trying to remember right now, as you are reading this? Who do you think put this here before you?

Love and hugs . . . Neale

Message From Neale

My dear friends,

We are moving closer and closer to what for me is going to be the biggest event of the first half of this year, and I am so very excited.

On May 8 I will be sitting down with a small group of highly committed spiritual seekers to explore in depth the new material that has just been given to us, at last, about death and the process of life—material that has never before been seen in any of the previous Conversations with God dialogues.

It was several years ago that I was told that a final book in the CwG cosmology, to be called Dying with God, was going to be given to us. I began to prepare for the writing of that book in the late summer of 2001. Then came 9/11, and my entire energy field shifted—as did that of most of humanity. Another book and another message wanted to come through in the aftermath of that horrific experience. That book was called The New Revelations, and it explained in the clearest terms yet how an event such as 9/11 could occur, what belief systems were creating such behaviors, and what humanity could do if it wished to avoid such out-picturings in the future. In The New Revelations we were given The Five Steps to Peace, which have since formed the basis of the worldwide mission of Humanity’s Team (www.HumanitysTeam.com).


And so, the book on death was put on hold.

Two more books followed The New Revelations, both of them carrying forward the theme of that important book. (The New Revelations has been called by many the most powerful and socially relevant book of all the CwG dialogues.) These two new texts were Tomorrow’s God and What God Wants. Taken together, I call these three The Second Trilogy, matching in impact and importance the First Trilogy of CwG Books 1, 2, and 3. The Second Trilogy deals with on-the-ground conditions around the world today and gives us a clear path to a new tomorrow, should we choose to no longer move in the direction we are now taking.
That work finally done, my mind was clear and open and ready, at last, to take on the task of bringing through the material that had been “put on the shelf.” In the spring of 2005, I set about to produce, finally, the book that everyone had been waiting for: Dying with God.

Article continues below...

We've added a very special afternoon to the Upcoming Home with God Retreat!!!

For those in attendance, we will be offering an afternoon with Neale on a walking tour of Ashland, Oregon to visit locations for scenes that were filmed last fall for Conversations with God - The Movie.

In addition to visiting the scene locations, Neale will offer insight into the story behind the scenes and share his very personal accounts of what the scene was about, and how the moment portrayed in the movie affected his journey to discovery while writing Conversations with God.

This will be a very intimate and personal journey, and a truly, once in a lifetime chance to experience a "behind the scenes" look at Neale's extraordinary story.

“I knew that my whole life would change…”

“Somewhere in the middle of the second day I knew that my whole life would change. I was right. It has. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this incredible experience. I get it! I am ‘not my story’!”
Jeanne K., Philadelphia

This is typical of the many positive reactions we have gotten to the spiritual renewal retreats created by the Conversations with God Foundation and facilitated by Neale Donald Walsch. Here’s another…

“Remarkable. Deeply insightful. And tremendous fun. It was all that I hoped for, and more. This really got me in touch with the Truth about me. It was a truth that I dared not believe until now.”
Alex O., London




And now we are excited to tell with you that the stunning messages of Home With God - In a Life that Never Ends will be shared with a retreat audience for the first time since publication of this remarkable book, when Neale meets with a handful of people in Ashland, Oregon May 8-14, 2006… a week that could change your experience forever.

This week will explore life and living and death and dying in a way that you may never have explored them before. If you are facing a particular challenge in your life right now—or if you simply have a yearning to grow and to expand in your experience of your Divine Self and your spirituality, please join us.

If you would like more information on the Home with God retreat, please click here or call Will Richardson at 1.352.442.2244.

Article continues...

Barely had I gotten a few chapters into the writing when I was told by my publishers that they did not think the title would work, that with all the death in the world, people needed a book of hope, not a book with the word “dying” on the cover. Could I think of another title?

Another title? I thought. How can I do that? This is the title I’ve had in mind from the beginning. But then I decided to let the suggestion in. I decided to listen to the voices that were inviting me to change it. Was it not possible for the world around me to be bringing me messages from the Divine? Could it be that the title that I had in mind was not the title that God had in mind?

I went within. I considered this deeply. I talked about it with those around me. Then one of my dearest friends, Will Richardson, who has been at my side from just after publication of the first CwG book, sent me an email in which he said that the appropriate title for the text had just come to him. “Call it,” he said, “Home with God.”

I knew immediately that he was right. This was the title that the book itself was calling for. I sent the suggestion to New York. It took my editor minutes to respond. “Yes!” she said. “This is it!” Within days the book’s subtitle came to me, and I sent that to New York as well. Again, within minutes, I received a response. “Yes! This is perfect!” Thus, the book became: HOME WITH GOD in a Life That Never Ends.

The book began to “rewrite itself” almost immediately. I was called to the small portion that was already written and invited by my Self (where God resides) to reenter the dialogue to reflect the new sense of where the book was going—and where it was always meant to go. The rest, as they say, is publishing history. HOME WITH GOD in a Life That Never Ends was published on March 21, 2006. Within eight days it had reached #1 on both Amazon.com and Barnes&Noble.com, the two biggest Internet bookstores in the world. Two weeks after that it hit the New York Times Bestseller List, the pinnacle of publishing achievement. It is the sixth Conversations with God book to make that list.

All this is not in the way of bragging, and I hope you know that. I have no need for self-aggrandizement—and, in fact, every need to steer clear of it. I am telling you this here so that you may know that this is a very special text that has been given to all of us—a message of hope and healing for the world entire. And that is why I am so excited about what is happening on May 8. On that day I will open the first seven-day retreat I have ever presented. It is a Spiritual Renewal Week the likes of which most people have never given themselves, built around the breathtaking messages in HOME WITH GOD in a Life That Never Ends.

A tiny handful of people will sit down with me from May 8-14 to take a deep look at this material and how it could be applied to their daily lives. This is the only time in 2006 (because my schedule for these 12 months has been made up a year ahead of time) that I will have the opportunity to join with others for a week of such intense, deep exploration of what has been brought through in this final dialogue. These will be people who have a special inner reason to come to this material. And so, this will be a very special moment.

Most of the people who are traveling to Ashland, Oregon for this week of spiritual renewal have already reserved their space in the intimate room where we will all convene. There is some space left, and somewhere in the world the few more people who were intended from the beginning to be joining us are now becoming aware of that.

There are just a few people left, a few who seek healing and comfort around the loss of a loved one, a few who seek greater insight and awareness about the process of death and what the Soul will encounter in the Afterlife, and a few who wish to become teachers and healers with this wonderful material. Those few are coming to this thought now, and will be soon making arrangements to reserve the last spaces in this May 8-14 highly intimate retreat with me.

I watch this process with interest and with inspiration. And, as I said earlier, with excitement. Thank you, God, for this message, and the people who will hear it and share it.

Love and hugs . . . Neale

Message From Marion...

Hello My Friends:

First a quick update on the Foundation’s current state of affairs. We’re headed into the retreat that starts the 8th of May. This will be an interesting one in many ways. The topic is Home with God and much of that includes all new subject matter. Actually, it’s much of the same material and issues that often come up within any retreat, but I imagine the individuals attracted to this retreat topic may have a specific interest in the subject matter of death and life after life. I think we’re all really anticipating a rich and dynamic group.

The best part of doing a retreat is that we get to see some of the people that are so touched by Neale’s work, and there’s an element of “show time” to the whole experience that I personally really like. I notice that even though we’re a little less than two weeks out right now, my sense of time is really off and the event seems closer than it really is. What that tells me is that I’m excited and a bit edgy about all of it.

When I first came to CwG, as part of the LEP’s first FasTrak group, my very first exposure to Neale and the Foundation (other than the 6 weeks of conference calls and paper writing prior to coming to Ashland) was the Annual Holiday Retreat. When I arrived, I checked into the hotel and came down to register for the retreat and get my schedule – I was full of a type of nervous energy I always have when I encounter a group of people that I don’t know very well. It seems like no matter how much I progress in my own personal journey I get really anxious about going into new groups of people. I must say that the Holiday Retreat turned out to be a very different experience than I imagined it would be. Immediately, I felt very much a part of the group and not my usual experience of being apart from the crowd.

Now several years have passed and I’ve observed this phenomenon with many groups of people and what I’ve concluded is that CwG attracts people with a certain type of energy.

Please understand this is just my own personal take on this. I have no idea if there is any basis in fact, but I have an inkling that if we could test it in some measurable way it would prove to be true.

There are all kinds of people that fall in love with CwG; rich and poor, happy and unhappy, all nationalities and religious background. You may have noticed this as well. I’m sure many of you have experienced giving one of Neale’s books away to someone you think will just love it, only to find that they couldn’t get through the first couple of chapters and just didn’t get it at all. What I’ve come to understand is that most people don’t make it through the first thirty pages and the ones that do, for the most part, fall in love with it. I think that this phenomenon is based in energy and resonance. As the books clearly state, God will meet each of us exactly where we are, as we are. I think those that fall in love with CwG are at a certain place and vibrate and resonate at a certain frequency.

The ReCreation/ CwG Foundation is a non-profit organization and is therefore extremely grateful for every bit of public support we receive. If you enjoy receiving our FREE Weekly Bulletin, and if you believe that there is value in the other work that we do, we hope you will consider making a donation.

We are grateful for all the contributions we receive, especially monthly contributions which assist us in being able to plan how we can best serve the readers of CwG around the world through scholarships, events, books for people who cannot purchase them, hardcopy publications for people who do not have access to computers and many other opportunities.

Thank you for your generous spirit. Together we can be the change we wish to see in the world.

Many Blessings,
The Staff of the ReCreation/CwG Foundation

 


Article continues...

Oh, I know everything boils down to energy and resonance, but for the most part people that resonate with CwG also resonate well with one another. We just tend to vibrate at a very similar frequency and when we encounter one another, that resonance carries over into the encounter. When we gather as a group the energy can be really incredible and the experience be very powerful for everyone.

I think this is the anticipation that right now has me a little ahead of myself. The other thing that is really cool about doing a retreat (from my workaholic perspective) is that in this kinetic energy we work really long days from about 7 or 8 in the morning until 10 or 11 at night. When you have a small group of people working these long hours in intense energy, the experience creates a myriad of emotions – and let me tell you we go through them all. In the end, these retreats bond us as much if not more than the participants, but getting to that ending can be one amazing, and sometimes trying, process. What I’m the most clear about is that each and every one of us at the Foundation loves this part of what we do, and that love for the CwG material and for the job that we’re doing creates a unique and powerful experience for those that have the opportunity to join us.

So this week is all about getting all the stuff we need together. The last few participants will enroll over the next 5 days or so. There are name badges to be printed and assembled, there is equipment to be packed and loaded and moved, there are rosters to be compiled, there are staff arrivals to be coordinated and schedules to be printed, there is product to be ordered and on top of that there is just business as usual. We’re so lucky to have Will, our Retreat Coordinator, and a handful of volunteers that really help us make it all come together.

The venue for this retreat is new to us. For a long time we’ve done our retreats at a local hotel on the outskirts of Ashland, but for 2006 we decided to try something new. We found this wonderful place in downtown Ashland called MoJo Rising. It’s an old brick building that’s been totally gutted and restored. It reminds me of a beautiful art gallery and it’s going to create a wonderful backdrop for our retreats. It’s big and open and airy but I think within that openness we’re going to be able to create a very warm and intimate setting.

Neale and some of our local friends will be returning from the Spiritual Cinema Circle’s cruise this weekend which assures us a well rested group that is ready to get back to work. That’s a great thing too. Often, for instance with the Holiday retreat where we start two days after Christmas we sort of start out tired to begin with, but that won’t be the case for this retreat.

I’d love to tell you all about the content of this retreat and more about how the days will unfold, but that’s not possible. While we have an idea and understanding of the material that will be discussed, what happens in a retreat is truly the product of the collective consciousness of the group. I’m sure you could boil any gathering of people down to that, but unlike a play or scheduled program, our retreats are to some degree made up as we go. It will start Monday evening with Neale discussing the messages of Home with God. Then we, the staff, will begin to watch for what we call “the room to pop”. This may happen the first night or we may be into the evening of the second day, but inevitably the “room will pop”.

What that means is that eventually a participant will go from a place of intellect to a place of deep heart and then the magic begins. Once this individual breaks the ice, many will follow. I’d love to tell you I understand exactly what happens next, but I can’t. All I can tell you is that it is magic. Neale, his understanding of the material, his deep love and understanding of people, and his sincere empathy and deep integration with the ideas of oneness, along with Don and/or Cathy’s music produce an experience for all present that is truly life altering and remembered forever.

For this retreat Neale will be doing Monday evening through Thursday night. Then Friday will be a day with Master Young Hee and a Dahn Hak experience. Dahn Hak is an energy practice that was my first really tangible experience of the flow of energy. I’m not sure what she has planned for Friday, but whatever it is, it will be fun and uplifting. We’ve never included a full day of Dahn Hak in one of our retreats, but because it’s so popular with our participants, we decided to try it.

Saturday’s and Sunday’s programs will be facilitated by Joanna and Rachael and it will be a different kind of experiential application of the material found in Home with God. I have no idea what Joanna is planning but I can assure you it will be deep and profound.

It’s one thing to read the CwG material and it’s a whole different thing to have the experience and be witness to it when it comes alive – as I said before it’s just magical.

I’d love to tell you that I have something to do with this magic, but I’m clear – and my staff is very clear – I’m the business person in the space. I conduct the business that allows these wonderful people I have around me to have a platform on which to create the magic that is a Conversations with God retreat.

May your life be full of love and light in the week to come.

Questions and Comments from CwG Readers

dear neale…

please respond to my family asap. we are becoming divided re: the care, comfort & well-being of our 89-year-old mother in a nursing home. she is very ill & has been for a very long time w/ advanced Alzheimers & and many other medical aliments - but has gotten progressively worse.

she has just had her toe amputated and has contracted aspirating pneumonia in the hospital. now, back at the nursing home - we have been 'told' not to give her liquids (esp water) w/ a straw, only a spoon
(and thickened). mom has had an aversion to utensils & had been taking very little (if any) food as a result. a straw is the only way she takes any sustenance & not very much of it this way.

the nursing home has 'battled' us consistently w/policy, rules & regulations which we feel are compromising our mother's well-being. my father is even scared to get in 'trouble' if we don't do things 'their' way. we don't even have any communication w/ her doctor & care plans & meds have been ordered & changed w/out our knowledge or even 1st being consulted.

now, some of us want to remove all meds & some don't & the family is becoming divided. most of us feel she should have whatever she wants, whatever way she takes it, whenever she wants it. according to 'their' rules - when mom wakes up & I am there & want to give her water - i can't – because she is on 'their choking list' & we must be in the dining room in front of nurses & staff. so we are supposed to get her up & dressed & all, to the dining room or call & wait for someone to come to give her water? her tongue is shriveled up, her lips are stuck together & i can't give my mother water?

mom had been in mental anguish for the longest time but now has a calm about her, even though she is mostly unresponsive. her 'time' may be coming soon but she has clung to this life w/ an amazing resilience. her little body is so frail. it has been so hard & sad to witness her life going on like this. we just want her to be happy & give her whatever she may need, but we all can't agree on what is best for her.

i have asked God for help but have been unable to come up w/ the 'right' course of action. we have sought help from hospice, the nursing home, priests, friends, family council, the media & advocate groups. but we can't come to any conclusions or agreement on what is best for our mother.

please give us your input.

thank you, neale! with much fondness - tony jr.



Dear Tony,

I must be old fashioned, but I can tell you that if I were the husband of that lady I would want no one deciding what is best for her but me...she and I were there before anyone else existed. We began the journey together and we end the journey together, and nothing and no one comes between us, not even our own children, who we brought into this world, by the way...

I would say to my children, “Excuse me, but even before you were, I was...”

So I guess what I am saying here is, unless there is some mental failing on his part, your Mother’s husband should be the one making these decisions—whether you children like what he is deciding or not. This is not a “family decision,” this is a husband and life partner’s decision.

You have not said in your note to me that your Father has diminished mental capacities...only that he is “scared” to “get in trouble” if things are not done the way the nursing home wants them done. That bit of apprehension does not disqualify your Dad from making the major decisions regarding his wife and your Mother, Tony, unless I live in another world...

Give your Father his due and stop complicating things for him. Support him in whatever decisions he makes. That is the way to make it easier for him—and, incidentally, for all the children, too. You can disagree with your Father, but he is still your Father—and, perhaps more significantly, the husband and life partner of the woman we are talking about here. When she was younger and more herself, to whom would your mother, herself, turn for advice?

Have I missed something?

Is there something here that you are not telling me, such as, “My mother hated my father and would never ask him for the time of day, much less what to do now..."

From a spiritual point of view, there is no “right” and “wrong” here...so if you are looking for simple advice, the only counsel I can give you is...if your mother herself is now at peace, with whatEVER is going on, why are you allowing yourself to become so agitated? And if you think that she is suffering so (even though she apparently has no experience of it—which, by the way, means that she is not), then all the children may want to pitch in and either get her a private nurse or do whatever else is necessary to give her better care than you feel she is receiving where she now resides.

I am puzzled as to how it can be that you have no contact with her doctor. Does he practice in another state? On the moon? From an offshore tax shelter? What stops you children and your Dad from simply making a joint appointment and all going over to see him at his office to discuss your Mother’s meds and other aspects of her care? Does he refuse to see you? Does he cancel your appointments? Does he evade you in the hallways? Has this man been reported to the County Medical Society and the AMA? Or...could the problem be on your family's end, do you think?

Anyway, Tony, from the who-says-that-I-know-anything deptartment, those are my observations. I send you my best thoughts during what I know is a challenging time for you and your family. Send up a prayer to God, Tony. A simple one. "Please, dear God, help my mother as she makes her final journey Home." Then be at peace, and rest your mind if you can. I know this time is not easy.

Love,

Neale.

[Editor’s Note: Tony let us know that his mother has made her transition. We send our blessings to her and to all of Tony’s family.]

I am such a fan of CWG - have recently lost my mother and want to see her again ----is there reincarnation? or do we get to see our loved ones? thank you so much for your time

Kathi

My Dear Kathi,

The answer is "yes" to both questions. But boy, do you ever want to read HOME WITH GOD in a Life That Never Ends. Not next week, not tomorrow, but right now. Get it, and READ it. It deals directly with what you are asking about here!

Love and hugs...neale.

____________________________________

Dear Neale,

Have you had any thoughts of producing the "Prayer for the Dying" from "Home with God" as a prayer card that could be sold? As a young Catholic child I was given a pocket-sized card to carry with me, it had a painting of the Blessed Virgin Mary on one side and a prayer on the other. I suppose it felt a little like a talisman and I was one of many children who regularly carried these during my schooldays. I think the idea was that you had a prayer to hand in time of trouble or accident.

I like the idea of having your prayer on my person, it's so moving and comforting for anyone in need. It could be produced in a format that could be carried in handbag, pocket, etc. or maybe even as a bookmark. In any case it could be laminated to make it last longer and could then be sold through bookshops.

I love your series of books, particularly the latest and just wish I'd been able to read your poem to my father when he was dying, it would have brought him such solace.

Thank you for your inspiration and clarity.

Bless you,

Anne Francis
London, UK

Dear Anne Francis,

That is a wonderful suggestion, and the answer is, no, I had not thought of that. But I will give it serious thought now. Thank you for suggesting it. You are right, The Prayer for the Dying in Home With God is very healing and brings great comfort. I will see what we can do to make it more widely available to everyone.

Love...neale.

If you would like to send a comment or a question to Neale here at the Weekly Bulletin, you may do so by addressing an email to: weeklybulletinresponse@cwg.org. Please note that because of the volume of mail that we receive, it is possible your letter will not get printed here. However, we do our best to see that all letters get a response, if not directly from Neale, then from a CwG Foundation staff person, or LEP participant.

What is a Tele-class?
A Tele-class is a mini-workshop over the phone. Our tele-classes are lead by trained facilitators who love to share their passion with you.

How does it work?
You simply dial in the phone number provided and when they ask for the pin number you punch in the pin number followed by the # sign. The facilitator will ask you to announce yourself. Simply give your name and where you reside. You will instantly be connected with people from all over the world.

What does it cost?
We are happy to offer these Tele-classes for FREE. We gratefully accept donations as this allows us to continue offering these at no charge. Your only cost is your long distance service. If you are calling internationally, please investigate into purchasing a long-distance calling card. Cheap rates are available almost everywhere.
