My dear friends...

When I was in the midst of the worst period of my life, I asked myself over and over again, “Why is this happening to me?”   

I did not understand then what I understand now.  My awareness had not expanded.  I was feeling frustrated.  I was feeling angry.  I was feeling betrayed by life itself.  Fortunately, I listened to these feelings.  I did not ignore them.  Feelings are the language of the soul.  They tell...

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...

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...

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...

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 I’ve...

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...

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...

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...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...
