Notes from Neale...
My dear friends...
We continue today our three-part series:
Making sense of it all
Last week I did not have a chance to put out the Bulletin as I was deeply involved in other matters and could not devote the time to it that I know this subject deserves. To those of you who were waiting for our second installment, I apologize.
In the first article of this series I offered an in-depth look at the nature of ultimate reality and the purpose of God and Life. The article was loaded with esoterics, including a detailed exploration of the Soul's journey.
But how to make any of that work for us in any practical way during This Life, Here and Now? That is the question. And that's what I promised we would look at next.
If we embrace, accept, and adopt the ideas expressed in Part I of this series, we come away with a whole new notion about God---about Who and What God IS---and about Life itself. Yet living into this grander notion is not easy. Everything we have learned in our lives from our present-day religions, from our cultures, from our schools and families, flies in the face of it. Further, everything we are experiencing in our daily lives does so as well.
How, then, to apply the wisdom and the insight of Conversations with God to our daily lives? How, then, to make some sense of Life's gifts and Life's tragedies?
Well, we have to tell ourselves a whole new story about Who and What We Are. That's the beginning. We have to tell ourselves a brand new tale about our own identity and why we are here.
When Everything Changes, Change Everything, the latest book in the CwG cosmology, tells us that there are Four Fundamental Questions in Life, the answers to which form the basis of our understanding and experience of Life Itself. These questions are:
1. Who am I?
2. Where am I?
3. Why am I where I am?
4. What do I choose to do about that?
WECCE (the acronym for the above title!) also says that there are "no `correct' answers to these questions." That is, one answer is no more "accurate" than another. This is true because we are making it all up. That is, we are producing our own experience based upon what we decide. Not only about this, but about everything.
WECCE carefully explains how the Mind does this when we do it with the Mind Alone, and how the Mind does this if we do it with the Mind working in concert with the Soul.
Most people do not produce their reality through a collaboration of the Mind and Soul. Most people use the Mind alone, as a singular instrument (even though it was never intended to be used is that way). As a result, the data that most people access in order to answer the above four questions is very limited.
On the other hand, for those people who use the Mind AND the Soul collaboratively as WECCE says we were always meant to do, the data that most people access in order to answer the above four questions is unlimited. This makes a world of difference---and a difference in our world.
We must, therefore, consider Life's Four Fundamental Questions from the standpoint of the Mind AND the Soul, not the Mind alone. How to do that---how to "access the Soul"---is explored in When Everything Changes, Change Everything. It is also now being discussed by me in-depth in an extended discourse in the Reader's Forum on my personal website (www.nealedonaldwalsch.com), which is part of the Messenger's Circle there.
When considered from this expanded perspective (that is, the perspective of the Mind and Soul looking at Life together), I answer those four questions this way:
1. Who am I?
I am an Individuation of Divinity. I am a Singularization of The Singularity. I am God, manifested in physical form in this present lifetime as a human being named Neale.
2. Where am I?
I am in the Realm of the Physical (as opposed to the Realm of the Spiritual).
3. Why am I where I am?
I am in this Realm in order to express and experience what I know my Self to be when I am in the Realm of the Spiritual. The Realm of the Spiritual is also known as the Realm of Knowing. The Realm of the Physical is also known as the Realm of Experiencing. I have entered this Realm---this place within the Kingdom of God---in order to know my Self in my own experience. I am God, "godding." I am God, in the act of Being. And what, exactly, am I being? I am being all that God is. This may take (and, indeed, does take) more than one lifetime.
4. What do I choose to do about that?
Knowing where I am and why, I now choose to use this particular lifetime to experience as much of my Self, to express as much of the essence of Who I Am, as I can. In order to do this, I must first know Who I Am. So the first part of my journey here on earth has been devoted to the process of remembering my True Identity, and the second part has been devoted to the process of expressing that Identity.
This is how it has been for most people walking the earth. While there are some, a very few, who know of a certainty Who They Really Are when they are, in earthly terms, very young (Jesus was said to be one of these, astounding the Pharisees when, at the age of 12, he taught in the Temple), most of us use up the largest portion of our years in the humble search for Who We Are---and then, after we remember Who We Are...in the acceptance of that. Very little time is then left for the expression of that. If we have some time left, this is the most sacred time of our lives.
Accepting our True Identity is not easy because, as I said earlier, it flies in the face of everything we have been taught and everything we have experienced. The second is true because everything we have experienced is based upon everything we have been taught.
Our job, then, is to "undo" the teachings. We must say to our fathers and mothers, and to all those who have taught us about this life, "you are wrong. You have been mistaken. It is not like what you think it is like. You are not who you think you are. I am not who you told me I am."
Only then can we begin to make some sense out of life. Only then can we comprehend Life's gifts and Life's tragedies. Only then can we
Understand that, in truth, there are no "tragedies"; that the idea of "tragedy" itself is a mistaken notion, because we do not live in a runaway Universe, an out-of-control environment. In fact, the opposite is true. We live in a place (the Realm of Physicality) where everything makes perfect sense, and is perfectly manifested, to produce the next perfect opportunity for Divinity to express and experience Itself as Perfection Itself.
When we understand this, we walk the earth as a Master. We perceive things as The Buddha did. We embrace "tragedy" as The Christ did (as an opportunity---yes, the perfect opportunity---for "salvation" of the Self, and, by example, of the whole human race). We see deeply into life as The Prophet did.
Now it's important that I define what I mean by the word "salvation" as I have used it above. I am not talking about salvation as in "saving the soul from everlasting damnation." There is no such thing as everlasting damnation. I am talking about salvation from not knowing and experiencing Who You Really Are, and therefore living a life that has nothing to do with that, and which, in turn, must then necessarily contain and include a great deal of suffering.
Suffering is never the result of pain. Suffering is the result of a misunderstanding of what is going on. Many mothers giving birth, for instance, do not "suffer" from the pain of childbirth, but, indeed, rejoice in it even as they experience it, for they realize Who They Are and What They Are Doing Here.
So, too, was it with Jesus, who understood that, metaphorically, he was "giving birth" to a new kind of humanity. As was The Buddha, who taught us about the end of suffering. Life, he said, is suffering...only because we don't understand Life. Life is suffering not because that's what Life intrinsically is...but because we do not comprehend what Life intrinsically is. When we do, suffering dissolves, and is no more.
Now this whole series began with a question: Why do some people suffer and die, and some people not? The answer to the first part of that question, in metaphysical terms, is that some people "suffer" because they do not understand why things are happening the way they are happening. The answer to the second part of that question is that no people "die." Death is not possible, given Who and What You Are.
When you understand this, you say, along with masters who have said it before: "Death, where is thy sting?" You do not fear death, nor do you fear life. Nor do you mourn the death of others as a "tragedy," but, rather, see death as a turn in the path on every individual Soul's journey; a turn that is perfectly designed to lead that Soul to exactly where it wishes to go next, as its own evolutionary process continues.
This is another way of saying that nothing can happen to the individual Soul that is not perfectly placed within the life and experience of that Soul, and, thus, agreed to by the Soul Itself.
And THIS is another way of repeating the extraordinary wisdom of Conversations with God when it said: "There are no victims and no villains."
Suddenly, Life begins to make sense. We begin to realize that there is a Larger Process in place of which we have lost sight. Something Bigger is going on. The Soul of the individual, as well as the Collective Soul of humanity, is continually birthing itself anew in every moment. It is becoming. It is evolving. And...like that candle flame we talked about last week...it is changing form even as it is expressing what it is "now."
A flame is never the same from one nano-second to the next. The nature of a flame itself is that it "destroys" itself, it burns itself up, even as it is "being" What It Is. Can a flame be said to be suffering because it is extinguishing itself even as it illumins? Each illumination of the flame is the result of its own "burning up." Is the burning up, then, less perfect than the illumination?
You now understand "Life Gifts and Life's Tragedies," and can, at last, make some sense of it all.
In our final installment next time: Brightening and Burning at the Same Time: a Look at a Life Well Lived.
Love and Hugs,
Neale.
A MARVELOUS OPPORTUNITY
I believe that the Conversations with God material can change people's lives and change the world. Many people who have read the material agree with me, and yearn to know how they can more effectively share this information with others. They want to become teachers and messengers of The New Spirituality. But how do you effectively and clearly share these remarkable messages in a way that helps other people to "get" them?That's what the Conversations with God Foundation's CwG DEEP STUDY PROGRAM is all about. For three highly concentrated days a tiny handful of participants (never more than 30, usually less than 20) sit down together with CwG author Neale Donald Walsch and question the heck out of him, exploring and discussing every major message in CwG, and hearing directly from Neale how to most effectively teach it.
This remarkable event is clearly not for everyone. It is for those very few who feel so moved by this material that they wish to share it with others. Perhaps in a a study group as its facilitator, perhaps in a workshop as its presenter, perhaps in a lecture or informal talk as its source. Maybe just in a private conversation with family and friends.
If you feel called to bring the CwG message forward in your sphere of influence, and want to make sure you know what you're talking about, and make sure you know how to most effectively present what you are talking about, this unique program is for you.
The next CwG Deep Study session will be May 10, 11, 12. Neale offers this program only once or twice a year, so if this feels like something you would like to do, it would be good to call now to get more information about it or to register for one of the few places left.
Call Will Richardson, educational programs registrar, at 352-442-2244. He'll have all the information you need.
You can also go to www.cwg.org and click on the blue button for Deep Study and read about it in more depth. Whichever you choose, don't miss this opportunity.
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: Through the years Neale has received many comments and questions regarding the message in CwG that tells us, "Hitler went to heaven." Below is Part III of a tele-class discussion of this topic offered by Neale on January 5, 2005

In January 2005 I presented a telephone class, the purpose of which was to help those who would seek to become messengers of the New Spirituality to learn how to effectively share CwG's extraordinary message with others.
Here is an edited transcript of Part IV of that tele-class:
HITLER WENT TO HEAVEN
Sharing this message
A TELE-CLASS BY NEALE DONALD WALSCH
January 2005
(with later edits in November, 2006)
_________
And so now we've taken our audience (with much greater depth than I have here-I am just laying out the outline here) through five levels of discussion on this topic. And if you have been following me closely you know what those five levels are:
1. What we mean anyway by the word "Heaven"?
2. Does "Hell" even exist?
3. What do we mean by the word consequences?
4. What is the difference between consequence and punishment?
2. Does "Hell" even exist?
3. What do we mean by the word consequences?
4. What is the difference between consequence and punishment?
a. What do we mean by the absence of punishment altogether, and the absence of judgment. How is that possible?
b. If punishment doesn't exist in the world of God and the Universe, Why is that true? (Answer: Because there is no such thing as "right" and "wrong.")
5. How can there be no such thing as "right" and "wrong"? b. If punishment doesn't exist in the world of God and the Universe, Why is that true? (Answer: Because there is no such thing as "right" and "wrong.")
a. Because God doesn't want anything in particular
b. Because God has no preference in the matter of anything whatsoever
c. Who is this God that has no preference?
d. What is the point of having a God at all if God has no preference in the matter of how we live?
b. Because God has no preference in the matter of anything whatsoever
c. Who is this God that has no preference?
d. What is the point of having a God at all if God has no preference in the matter of how we live?
So we lead our audience to the ultimate discussion.
Who and What is GOD?
And how do we imagine a God who wants and prefers nothing in particular?
And so we have within a period of 25 minutes taken our audience to the deepest point of intellectual and theological discussion ever considered by humanity. I mean, the earliest philosophers looked at these questions, rarely in a half hour, but throughout their lives.
And you have the ability-that's what's so powerful about this topic "Hitler went to Heaven"-to plunge your audience into the deepest explorations, sending them home with their minds open and looking, at last. at the issues in life that truly matter and that, by the way, just happen to guide all human behavior.
And if we use the answers that Conversations with God and the New Spirituality provide to these questions, human behavior would be guided in an entirely new way, which could create freedom at last from the self-destructive patterns that we have adopted on this planet.
So we get to the ultimate exploration of who and what is this God who says there is no such thing as "right" or "wrong", and who punishes and judges no one. Who and what is this God that wants nothing in particular, and therefore makes it possible for us to say that "Hitler went to Heaven" because there is no such place as "Hell" and there is no place other than "Heaven"-no other place at all in the Universe. Who and what is this God that has created such a Universe?
All of this gives you an opportunity to define God itself. And I strongly suggest that this become the second part of your discussion on this topic.
Let us define what we mean when we say the word God, Allah, Jehovah, Yaweh, or whatever name we want to give to the Unmoved Mover, the Prime Source, the Only Thing That Is.
What is that, specifically?
In the book What God Wants (and, by the way, in my other books as well, but in this book in almost a "Reader's Digest" version) there appears an answer to that question. It's a wonderful summary of one particular part of the overall CwG cosmology. So I urge you to see if you can get a copy of that book.
In that there is a frontal approach to this question, a direct line and straight up approach to this question, Who and What is God? And to the question, How is it possible that God wants nothing?
What God Wants delves into these questions in a very concise and precise manner, very specifically, no hemming and hawing around, no fancy-dancy, pie-in-the-sky phrases or fuzzy new age aphorisms. This book will give you the verbal tools with which to articulate those answers for others. And once those answers are articulated for your audience the dominos being to fall and everyone clearly understands how it's possible that "Hitler went to Heaven." In fact, it would seem impossible for anything else to have occurred once people have the answer to the prime questions...What I call the Prime Questions. Because the Prime Questions are not, Is it possible that "Hitler went to Heaven?", or even, Where did Hitler go? The Prime Questions are:
Those are the Prime Question, and those are the questions to which you must direct your audience's attention if your exploration of this controversial exploration of Hitler's role in humanity's story is to have any meaning at all. Because if you just stick with the question of whether "Hitler went to Heaven," you'll be operating at the most shallow level of interaction and discussion, having nothing to do, really, with the questions that such a statement bring up-the Prime Questions, which produce the Prime Answers, and the Primary Truth.
The present text presumes that all readers of it know the answers to those Prime Questions, and know how to articulate them. The point here is to get to those questions quickly in any discussion of the statement, Hitler went to Heaven.
Whenever I discuss the Hitler experience I say to my audience: "The real tragedy is not that a man named Hitler came along, but that so many millions of people went along."
Hitler would not have been able to do what he did if it hadn't been for the co-creative agreement of millions of people.
We are here talking about not only those people who were members of the Nazi party living in Germany (half of whom might have been coerced into joining that party), but millions of other people around the world. Who by thinking they had no choice, through apathy, or quite deliberately, went along with and allowed the Hitler experience to be created and to occur. By their having chosen for long periods of time to do nothing.
Until at last some people decided that doing nothing was no longer acceptable and that something had to be done. That, of course, was a long time later. It ultimately resulted, it is true, in Hitler's removal from power, but not until extraordinarily breathtaking damage had been done to the human race and to its dreams of self-expression and self-realization. So there is much that can be discussed, even at a shallow level, with regard to the Hitler experience.
For instance, if there is guilt to be placed and blame to be laid, where do we lay it?
I mean-and I say this to my audience-if a crazy man stands in front of a stadium full of a hundred thousand people and spouts insanities, and if the hundred thousand people shout their approval, stand up and salute those insanities and praise the person saying them, who, then, is guilty? And where does blame lie? It is the one person on stage or with the one hundred thousand people off stage who created the possibility of such things happening? Or the hundred million people around the world who turned their back and went along by doing nothing? Just as we are doing now in Darfur. Who is to blame for Darfur, and the genocide there? The instigators, the collaborators, or the ignorers?
So if God is to lay blame and to send people to Hell for the Hitler experience, then we are talking here about millions and millions of people and not simply the soul of the being called Hitler.
There are those who would say, "Well, Neale, you are exactly right. Millions of people did go to Hell because of what happened during the Hitler experience," but I suggest a much more elegant articulation and a much more elegant outcome.
And then I begin to discuss at last, as we conclude our exploration of the Hitler experience, why a God who wants nothing and who has no preference in the matter would allow, or indeed create, the possibility of a Hitler experience on the planet? What was the point of it all?
That's a delicate question, but not one that cannot be discussed. It falls into the same general category of; "Why the Tsunami?" Why Katrina? Why Darfur? Indeed...
Let that be our question for the day. How does any of this, whether it's the Tsunami or Hitler, contribute to and play its role on the process that we call "Our Evolution?" Once we understand that, we understand all of it! Then we are able to embrace and accept all of it in a new way, in a startling and refreshing new way that opens the door to peace in our hearts at last, even in the midst of the turmoil of present day events.
This is the kind of new spirituality that changes lives-because it changes our perspectives. That is, it alters the way we see our exterior experience. And that can produce profound alterations as well in the way we produce our next exterior experience in that aspect of the adventure that we call "The Future."
I want to suggest something. I know it might take a little bit of work, but I want to suggest that somebody find a way to transcribe and print out everything I have just said in the past 45 minutes. Because I believe that what I've just spoken here...I believe that having the ability to read from a printed page what I've just spoken here...would be extremely useful for you as messengers.
So I am going to suggest that somebody out there say to Niki: "I'll do that! Just send me the audio file and I will get somebody to type it up." And transcribe it and send it to everybody, including me. Send it back to Niki and back to me. It might take a week or two to do that, but I expect it would be well worth the effort.
Now, are there any comments or questions?
Norma - Hi, Neale, this is Norma. I had a question. When you are giving the responses (and I find what you've said to be very helpful), do you have people then challenge you about, um, Heaven?
Neale - Of course. They challenge me about everything and anything, including the color of my hair, and they certainly challenge me about Heaven. And I think, maybe I didn't, but I had hoped that what I've said in that part of this discussion is an in-depth exploration of what we mean by the word "Heaven." What is Heaven? Not just, what is "Hell," but what is "Heaven?" You all may want to look at that as well, and Conversations with God has much to say on this subject, particularly in the final CwG Dialogue Book, HOME WITH GOD in a Life That Never Ends. Ah...there is so much studying to do!
That's what I want you all to understand as Messengers. This is not just about knocking of seven paragraphs that explain why Hitler went to Heaven. That's just the most shallow kind of response to this kind of question. This is about looking at the Conversations with God material so deeply that you can explain to people what the word "Heaven" means in cosmological terms, as well as what we have assumed that the word Hell means and what Hell really is in terms of humanity's theological constructions.
We need to be able to explain that there is no such place as Hell, but if we want to create Hell-like experiences we certainly are capable of doing that. We are doing it here on the Earth and we can do it in our own minds and in our own souls...and to that degree, Hell does exist insofar as it is possible for all of us to create any reality we choose, both in this life and in the life after this. And many people do create the reality known as Hell in their individual lives, and in their collective experience, as well. Look around the world. We are doing it right now.
If you would like more esoteric input on how we do that after death, pickup the movie What dreams may come, then read HOME WITH GOD. Actually, do that in reverse order. Read the book, then rent the movie, or better yet, buy one. You will want to have a copy around the house to look at every now and then.
Norma - Okay, thank you
Neale - Yes, so my answer to your question is yes, they do challenge me on Heaven and in order to answer the questions that come up on that topic, I must and you must be deeply familiar with what the New Spirituality has to say about Heaven.
What is Heaven? What do we mean when we say Heaven? What is Heaven anyway?
I can give you one paragraph answer and then you can get the rest out of the material - especially look at HOME WITH GOD.
Heaven, in my one paragraph answer, is the highest experience of the grandest notion I ever had about who I am. Heaven is the act of recreating myself in the next grandest version of the greatest vision ever I held about who I am. Heaven is knowing myself as "That." Heaven is the expression and the experience, in short, of my Godliness, of my Divinity. That when I, in that moment, when I am one with the Creator, I am inside the experience of Bliss and that is Heaven indeed. And Bliss can be experienced when I am expressing-that is, pushing out of myself, as myself, through myself-the divinity that is the inherent nature of Who and What I am.
And that demonstrates itself in a million different ways across a million moments in a million lifetimes. As it does in this particular lifetime. In the act of Generosity, in the act of Love, in the act of Creativity, in the act of Sexual Celebration, in the act of Wisdom Declared and Expressed, in the act of Compassion. Heaven is looking up and watching the snowfall and understanding why it's so beautiful. I mean, really understanding that. Heaven is experiencing yourself as the snowfall.
Neale, can I ask you something?
Yes.
I am Kahla from London. Um, the who we really are, um, and I did at recreating, um, the grandest vision of who we are, um, which is great and I love, I mean, I Love that, I love that a lot. That, um, also it says that who we really are is Love, which is also like a really beautiful idea which is sensory love but, I don't understand. Is that contradictory? It's not contradictory but, if I am creating who I am but I'm also being told who I am, which is Love, I mean how, I mean, isn't it my choice to create who I am rather than being told who I am? I am a bit confused, and I'm not even sure this question is making sense.
I do get what you are trying to ask and that question can only be asked within the context of the illusion of time. If you stand outside of time as an illusion your question cannot be asked, because everything is happening at once and who you are and who you are creating yourself as being, is occurring as one at the same time. That is, we are the Creator and the Created and it is within that context that I give you the answer.
In the timelessness of ultimate reality we are that which we create ourselves to be at one in the same moment so, as we declare ourselves to be love, we are love, we experience ourselves as love. We create ourselves as love, and we experience ourselves as what we have created, and it all becomes one thing. That's why it's possible to say that in the illusion of time we already know what we are. We are love and yet we are free to create ourselves as that. It is a dichotomy which can only exist within the framework of the illusion of time and space.
Outside of the illusion of time and space the dichotomy utterly disappears and we become what we are even as we are becoming it. That is, of course, the true nature of God. The true nature of God is that God is a process-as Conversations with God clearly says. God is ultimately a process. God is the process we call life itself.
I guess that, um, if I say I've decided I want to create myself as something that's not Love-
--That's impossible.
--It's impossible?
You can't create yourself as something that's not love anymore than you can create...what color are your eyes?
Brown
Well you can't create yourself having other than brown eyes. You can put contact lenses on top of those brown eyes for a movie or a play or something, to make people believe you've got blue eyes, but you cannot have other than brown eyes. You can only pretend to.
And you cannot create yourself as anything other than Love, but you can damned well pretend to, and that's we're all doing most of the time. That's the illusion we call "life on earth."
Neale, um, this is Karen from Pennsylvania
Hello Karen
May I ask you a question? I am on the verge of being asked to present this seminar, an introductory seminar on Conversations with God. I've done a lot of retreats and things with different aspects of religion as a Presbyterian minister, but this is different. They want me to teach the principles from CwG. And the comment that "Hitler went to Heaven" comes up early, ah, even in Book 1.
Yes, it does!
As a statement on page 33, I believe.
Yup.
At an introductory seminar in this material there would be some people there who have read the books and perhaps some people there who are just curiosity seekers. I am not sure where to begin in an introductory seminar.
A wonderful place to begin any seminar, I would think, is to discuss the larger question...I would say something like:
We begin our seminar tonight, page 1, chapter 1, first evening, first five minutes of the first night...we begin our seminar with an invitation to explore the deepest question humanity has ever imagined, What does God want? For that matter; Who and What IS God?
Let us begin there, because our deeper understanding of that topic alone will cause all the rest of the dominoes to fall... and every other consideration, question, or exploration will resolve itself and begin to become massively clear when we become clear about who and what God is. So, let's begin at the beginning. In the beginning there was God, and that's all there was and all there is and all there ever will be.
In the beginning, All There IS was All There Was, and All There Was was All There Is-and it was very good.
But, what was that? What is that? Shall we begin, Ladies and Gentleman, at the beginning?
Let us begin there, because our deeper understanding of that topic alone will cause all the rest of the dominoes to fall... and every other consideration, question, or exploration will resolve itself and begin to become massively clear when we become clear about who and what God is. So, let's begin at the beginning. In the beginning there was God, and that's all there was and all there is and all there ever will be.
In the beginning, All There IS was All There Was, and All There Was was All There Is-and it was very good.
But, what was that? What is that? Shall we begin, Ladies and Gentleman, at the beginning?
That's how I would start.
That's wonderful! Thank you very much Neale!
And believe me, no one is going to leave the room. I promise you, no one is going to leave the room. You start your seminar like that and say, "We are going to talk about that for the next twelve weeks" (or however long your seminar is) and they are going to say, "Sign Me Up! You've got me! You hooked me!"
Thank you.
And you, you in particular, should read What God Wants. You in Pennsylvania, the Presbyterian minister, you need to read that before the evening is out.
Before the end of the evening?
It's okay. If I can write it as fast as I write it, you can read it twice as fast.
(laughter)
You can read it in the next two days, because it would give you some articulations that you might find intriguing to use.
Okay. Thanks.
You are welcome.
Neale, this is Claire from California. In Book 2 it talks about Hitler, but it also mentions Jesus as being at the other end of the spectrum. Do you ever use that as a comparison?
In my talks I don't usually do that, because if you are going to put into your talk what I've just described in this telephone call, that's enough for one evening or for one topic. I try not to get too much into other personages-Mohamed, or Buddha, or anybody else-as a comparison. In the book, of course, we have the luxury of fifteen books worth of time, and in an evening discussion or even in a weekend seminar, we won't have that kind of time. So generally, I do not get into what you've brought up here.
How much time do we have in this call, speaking of time?
Niki - We are just about out of time right now.
Well, okay. I hope I've been of help to you. I've enjoyed being with you and I want you to keep doing what you are doing, because this is an extraordinary message that can truly change the world.
Thanks to all of you for your dedication.
Although this bulletin is totally free to anyone who signs up, the Foundation does rely on contributions for us to continue our work. If you would care to make a donation to help us in our work, please click here.
