My dear friends...

Did you know that even when your Soul is physicalized (that is, living with a physical body) it embarks upon a spiritual journey—often without you knowing it? You may not be consciously aware that you are having a spiritual encounter, but you are.

On the other hand, it is possible for you to produce such an encounter with full conscious intention. That is what the Spiritual Steps into Non-Awareness of the world are all about. So we are picking up here where we left...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale... In your books God states that we need nothing. It's a wonderful idea. When we need nothing then we are truly free of cares and anxiety. We have peace of mind. But is it realistic? Yes, I can see how we need nothing to exist. Life continues forever. I have no fear of death. From all accounts death is a wonderful experience. But there are many more horrible things than death like slowly starving and living homeless, which you've had experience with. How can...

My dear friends...

I spoke here last week about Ten Instruments that have helped many people build a platform for, or create a path to, The Holy Experience. To continue in my explanation of that, let me say that these steps include the Physical Tools leading to Awareness of the World (yearning, willing, exploring, embracing, explaining) and the Spiritual Tools leading to Non-Awareness of, or detachment from, the world (sound, visualization, movement, ritual, discipline).

By Physical Tools I...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale... In book 1 of CWG God says that just as we are the body of God, God is the body of another! This seems to say there is something greater than God. This does not seem to have been delved into further. Can you explain this further?
Lynn.

Neale Responds

Lynn, my reading of it does not produce the conclusion that "there is something greater than God," but rather, that God is greater than the something that we think God is.

Think of a particle of matter. How...

My dear friends...

As you know if you are a regular reader of The Weekly Bulletin, we have been exploring now for many months an encounter with Life that I have called The Holy Experience. Through the years many people have written to me asking about how they might have such an experience.


This week I want to share with you that I seem to have stumbled upon Ten Instruments or tools with which one might build a platform, or an environment, for the Holy Experience. That’s the best way...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale...Thanks so much for the opportunity you have given here to clear up some confusion. I'm sure you've heard this a thousand times before but I'd like to say that many books have impacted deeply on my mind and heart but yours were the first to resonate with my soul.

If I understand CwG correctly our purpose in life is simply(?) to be the next grandest version of ourselves we can be, and we create our own direct purpose on earth (consciously or unconsciously)...

My dear friends...

Last week in this space I said that a message that for many years spiritual teachers have been sharing—that “you are creating your own reality”—can be a dangerous teaching if it is not fully explained. I also said that there are two things you must know about the “you create your own reality” teaching:

(1) First, it must be explained (as we have done several times here now) that you are not “creating” anything, but merely...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale... Some terrible things have happened and are happening on the earth—and some not very nice things have happened in my life. My question is this: Why am I creating this? If I am the creator of my own reality, producing the events of my own life, why am I doing this? This is important to me, so thanks for answering. Michael in North Carolina.

Neale Responds

Dear New Friend...The first thing I want to say to you, Michael, is that you did not create the...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale...I was wondering how powerful you consider manifestation to be when thinking a thought that is not necessarily wanted—say, for instance, a fear of something happening. This fear of something happening is niggling inside the mind and is hard to get rid of. What I have interpreted from CWG and other sources teaching about manifestation is that even though this thought comes into the mind and may stay there, another thought can be chosen i.e. to choose another...
