Dear Neale,

I'm at a low point in my life right now.  I seem to be paralyzed in my fear.  Nothing I try to do is working for me. How does one have faith, when nothing seems to be working?  I have read and re-read your book, Conversations with God .  I love your book. 

I believe everything God has said to you.  I trying to change my thoughts to positive thoughts, but my fears and doubts get in the way.  I tried to write to God on...

Dear Neale,

I lost my brother to suicide on June 8.  And without putting all of my personal feelings and thoughts into this writing, I'll try to keep it as brief and to the point as possible.

My brother suffered with Huntington's Chorea (HD) - a neurological degenerative condition that over time deteriorates a person's quality of life - both physically, mentally and emotionally.  A suicide note was left thanking his family and friends for their love &...

There will come a time in your movement through the process of Enlargement when the scale of stop/start, stop/start will be tipped.   You will begin to do more "starting" than "stopping."   This is a natural part of the process and at some point along the way nearly all of the stopping will stop.  

Your stopping stops when you finally become okay with all the previous stopping - and with whatever stopping is happening in the present.   It is your ...

The world has an interesting mind-set about this business of talking with God. Most people believe that not only are conversations with God possible, but they have occurred. In fact, most religions are based on this assumption. What people cannot seem to agree on is when God stopped talking.

If God has never stopped talking, that complicates things, because most religions are based on God's direct revelations to a specific person or group. Those people and groups have no...

Mr. Walsch,

First, I want to thank you for writing your books and having the patience and perseverance to complete all of them and see them through to publishing.  I began reading them when my daughter Allison was born with Noonan Syndrome.  She was ill off and on and endured 7 surgeries in 9 years.  I was desperate to understand why she had to endure such pain and hardship and what I had done, if anything, to possibly cause her to live the difficult life she...

While sentient Beings sense an impatience during the process of enlargement, it is not beneficial to allow that impatience to be translated into a lack of contentment.   The two are not the same, but one can, and often does, lead to another.

Enlargement that grows out of discontentment only enlarges the discontentment.   Expansion can only expand what is , it cannot expand what is not.   If you are not contented, you cannot expand your way to more...

Hello Neale,

I attempted suicide at one point. Thankfully, I failed...but I suppose I'm thankful for my suicide attempt, because it changed my life in a positive way unlike anything else ever has, save possibly CwG For Teens .

My question is what Home With God calls a 'splitting of metaphysical hairs'. Home with God says things about suicide that, from my current perspective, seem to show a grand glitch in God's Perfect System.

Okay, let's say I committed...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale...

It was a scary thing to read your recent newsletters about Contentment.  I wondered...didn't DIScontentment offer the drive in which we may seek Enlightenment? I mean, contentment sounds very static. Was the Budda content when he sat under the Bodhi Tree and decided he would meditate until enlightenment? 

Now I wonder if Contentment is a stage in consciousness where finally we move a little more in alignment with the flow of life, allowing other...

The Second Major Step on the Path to Self Awareness is Enlargement.   The 3 minor steps leading to Enlargement are: stopping, starting, and sustaining.

My experience has been that once Contentment is achieved, the soul yearns for more of that experience.   It wishes to have a larger encounter with, and a grander expression of, the True Self.

This feeling arises not out of a lack of contentment, but rather, out of an appreciation of it.   The word...

My dear friends...

Contentment is a great place to me.   Many people spend their entire lives seeking to be there.   And when--or if--they reach a place of "contentment", they are willing to let things rest right there.   Getting to Contentment is enough for one lifetime.   It is more than enough.   It is truly an extraordinary achievement, and, truth be told, most people do not make it.

So why go on?   Why--in a sense--not be "content" with Contentment?

Well, of...
