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...
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...

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...
I have heard you talk about detachment/attachment. You say one can have caring without attachment, but I need more discussion of how that is done. I have lost 3 pets within the last 9 months, and attachment/loss is much on my mind. Where can I look for more insight? Perhaps one of your books discusses it in depth, and I have forgotten. And, by the way, I enjoy your bulletins very much. Contrary to what others appear to...

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...
Reader Question:
Dear Neale...I was forced to be a closed minded person, who read the bible and found it to be wonderful, but following that saved me and ruined my life. I love Jesus and God more than any other. You can ask them. lol. I was with my daughter after my husband's death. Yahoo. And she wanted a book on Wicca that was not allowed with us, and I opened my mind and took her to the library, but I was searching for my own answers. On the shelf I chose all the books were aligned 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...

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.”...

Can’t You say something about gays? I have been asked over and over again, at lectures and appearances and retreats all over the world: won’t You say something to end once and for all the violence and cruelty and discrimination against gays? So much of it is done in Your name. So much of it is said to be justified by Your...
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...
