My dear friends...

Are you noticing that something very unusual is occurring on this planet right now? It may be producing a more than normal amount of challenge and disjointedness in your own life, and perhaps even some major upheavals. You may be noticing it in the lives of others as well.

For a while you may have thought that this was all just your mind playing tricks on you; that things were not really happening any differently, and that you’re just a little tired, a little...

My dear friends...

Why is life turning out the way it is turning out? Why is love so often so hard to find, and then to keep? Why is goodness and kindness and compassion and even a smiling face sometimes so hard to find in our day-to-day experience? Must our lives consist of drama, drama, and more drama day in and day out?

I get asked questions like these a lot, and as I turn to the Conversations with God dialogues to find answers, here is some of what I uncover, in these words from God:

Reader Question:

Dear Neale...Why can't everyone have their own "conversation with God," just the way you did? If this is so easy, why doesn't everyone do it? Sorry if I sound like a skeptic, but...

Neale Responds

My Dear Pamela...it is very okay even if you are a "skeptic." I ask no one to accept my experience without looking into it deeply. Here is one problem I see that stops people from having their own Conversation with God...

We have apparently...

Originally titled "What to do about Syria?"

….. have we learned anything?

My dear friends...

The purpose of this publication is not to become embroiled in politics. Indeed, as a non-profit organization the Conversations with God Foundation is prohibited by law from doing so. We are not prohibited, however, from offering spiritual advice --- even spiritual advice involving matters of the world.

Such a matter is the current circumstance in Syria,...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale....I was wondering about one thing. In higher level of our selves we choose how we are going to die. There is nothing that is done here on earth that is wrong or not in the soul's interest. Everything is like it supposed to be.

One thing that is troubling me with that is: Why is the soul still choosing to die, for instance, a horrible death. Why is a higher level of ourselves choosing conflict and misery?

And more importantly, when will it stop choosing these...

The mission of the Prison Outreach Program, is to share the message of the Conversations with God books with people in jails and prisons, places of darkness where its light is most needed. We all dream of a better world, a place of peace and safety where we would all be free to become our next highest version of our Selves. It is our goal to empower prisoners to live the CwG message so that they can become the next highest version of themselves and, by doing so, effect change in their...

My dear friends...

We are in the midst, here in the Weekly Bulletin, of a series of articles I have created, titled...The Nature of God and Life: an exploration of critical importance in our time. This is PART IV of that ongoing series...

There is so much sadness and suffering in the world, and anyone who believes in God and defines it as the Source of Pure Intelligence and Perfect Love would have to ask: Why?

Why in the world would God place sadness and suffering in the world? And what...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale...I am 46 years old and have serious spiritual beliefs which your CWG books have only complimented and confirmed. About a month ago, a long time friend revealed to me he had a Near Death Experience and was, in fact, in Hell for how long he couldn't tell. Neale, it scared me silly and I looked on the net and of course found many similar stories.

It seems to me to be a very serious mistake to make, eternity and all. Could you reassure me or point me to a specific...

My dear friends...

Even just a cursory exploration of our world reveals the extent to which sadness and suffering inhabit the human experience. It is impossible to be alive on this planet without encountering both. The question is not whether you will encounter it, the question is, how much of it will you encounter?

Behind that lurks another, more important question. When you do encounter sadness and suffering, how will you deal with it? What tools will you have. More to the point: What...

Reader Question:

Hi Neale...I'm new to this newsletter, but am wondering what to do with my feelings toward pan handling. I give generously to a few of my favorite charities, including those that serve the homeless. I generally don't give to those who ask for a couple of reasons: opening my purse increases my chances of being robbed, and I can't afford to give every time I'm asked. I much prefer to give to someone who "seems" like they could use a few extra bucks without being asked (but...
