Dear Neale,

My fiancé, Jeff, lost his brother at 18 (accidental gunshot).  Jeff has been grieving for 18 years and is still full of rage and resentment at the loss.  He is happy for Jerry (his brother) at his release from this life, but he is still angry at not having his brother to share his life with.  What can I say to help Jeff be free of his anger and realize the peace, love and joy that his brother is experiencing?  Thank you and God Bless.

Dear Mr. Walsch,

Thank you for your wonderful books. I have one question. It concerns the story in the Bible where Jesus curses the fig tree because it doesn't bear fruit. I don't understand why he would do this, because it also says that it wasn't the season for the tree to bear figs. The fig tree example must be there for a reason, but what?

For a long time this story has seemed to represent to me what seems a certain capriciousness on the part of Jesus/God, which perhaps refers to how man...

There is a tendency to dismiss the experience of Self-Awareness if it is not both immediate and eternal.   In actual practice it is most often neither.  

One rarely finds one's way to Self-Awareness with the first step on the journey (this is not impossible, mind you, but it is rare), and one rarely remains in this place the first time one arrives there.   One wants to , but one rarely does.   So much is calling us back.   So much is pulling us,...

Nearly every Holy Scripture of nearly every one of the world's exclusivist organized religions contains passages that describe a God of anger, of judgment, and of retribution.

Do you remember what happened to the Israelites who worshipped the golden calf? Were not 3,000 of them slaughtered by the Levites at God's command?   Did God not instruct you in Exodus   32:27 to "take every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp,...

Reader Question:

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...

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 ...

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 &...

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...

Reader Question:

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...
