Reader Question:

Dear Neale... What is the role, do you think, of a spiritual messenger? I have been watching your life from a distance, and observing the commentaries that you offer, and they bring up this question for me. I mean this question sincerely, not snidely. Thank you for addressing it.

Geraldine, from New Hampshire.

Neale Responds

Dear Geraldine.....I have been thinking a lot about this lately, so I am not surprised that you should send me this letter. What we think...

My dear friends...

Last week I made a statement here that survival is the instinct that drives the engine of the human experience. I said I would continue that discussion this week. I want to say now that this instinct is not our basic instinct, it is simply the instinct that drives the engine of the human experience for most of us.

A few years ago a handful of extraordinary men revealed to us, once again, what our basic instinct is. And it is not “survival.”

They knew going in...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale...I am about to get divorced from my husband. I only started to read your books last summer and I realized I am not happy with him. That is, I don't make him responsible for my happiness, but I decided to accept his negative attitude and his choice to be depressive, but decided I can't and I don't want to live with him anymore.

At the moment we both have psychotherapy and both our individual therapist advised not to get divorced straight away, but have a so...

 My dear friends...

We began a discussion here about what I’ve called The Fractured Self. We looked at how we sometimes split ourselves into two or three different people, just to please the world, just to “get along,” and sometimes, to be truthful, just to get something that we want, and so, to please ourselves.

Then we talked about what it would take to put our Fractured Selves back together again. And the first thing we began focusing on was...honesty.

One thing...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale...

In his book "Kundalini For Beginners".... Dr Ravindra Kumar states that the deceased has no more understanding of God than the living. Is this true? He also states that the psychic being, which is also responsible for spiritual growth, exists only on earth and no other plane. Is this true also?  

Sincerely...Isaac Mba.

Neale Responds

Dear Isaac...In my own experience Dr. Kumar’s statements are inaccurate or incomplete on both counts. Having not read...

My dear friends...

We spoke in this space last week about “unfracturing the Self.” In that entry I made the statement that life is meant to be happy, and there really should be no reason for it to be otherwise.

I added that certainly, there is no reason for life to be an experience of ongoing unhappiness. But when we are living as fractured people, trying to serve two masters and three agendas and four different thoughts that four different people have about who they think we are...

My dear friend,

Wouldn’t it be exciting if you could be instrumental in the massive positive shift that’s sweeping the planet even as we speak?

If you’re anything like me, there’s really not anything that’s more exciting than this notion of playing a uniquely personal role, being a powerful expression of conscious living in your own way, as you perceive and would want to express that uniqueness.

And all of this for the purpose of evolving into your highest and...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale...In one of your audios you say that the purpose of life is the journey for each of us to return to the whole of us. You also say that we are magnificent just as we are which implies that we don't need anything because we are already whole.

Why don't we know that we are fine and magnificent?

I've been reading about 'soul retrieval' and 'experts' out there who say that they are qualified to retrieve the part/s of your soul that are missing. The theory is that...

My dear friends...

It seems to me that life continues to be an unfolding mystery for nearly everyone. There have been, and are now, true Masters holding all the answers, knowing every solution, and living life in ongoing peace and harmony (no matter what was or is happening). So we know that reaching such a level of personal and spiritual development is possible. Indeed, we have been promised this by every great religion. Still, I have seen very few people achieve it “in a flash.”...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale... As the world reels to deal with global events, I find that some of my friends are having a difficult time coping with the daily news. Some of them have even taken to avoiding the news altogether. Any suggestions on what I could tell them?

Dear Carolyn... Putting your head in the sand like an ostrich is not the most personally beneficial or effective way of dealing with our world as it is. Simply pretending that something...
