At least once in your life
My dear friends...
For many weeks we have been speaking here about The Holy Experience. I want to invite you to avoid developing preconceived notions about what that Experience is all about, or what it is supposed to “look like.”
It may not be about feeling “filled with the light” or “warm all over” or “One With The Universe.” It could be about that, but it also may not be.
It may not be about only speaking softly and always moving slowly and forevermore walking around with an angelic exp...
A Letter to Neale
Reader question:
Dear Neale...In The Only Thing That Matters you wrote that the top priority in our lives should be “what one desires.” Do you really think that god really is concerned with What One Desires? Look at cosmos and what a tiny speck each one of us is with our so serious concerns and desires. Volcanoes, black holes exploding stars etc and Microdot Mike I don't understand how any of us is so significant to god. I do not assign you responsibility for convincing me either. but what yo...

A question: Did Conversations with God do for your spiritual life what it did for mine? The 9 books in the dialogue series did more than simply alter my ideas about God. They gave me tools -- powerful insights that I have used to build new approaches to age-old problems.

I was so excited about it that the first thing I wanted to do was share the CWG messages with everybody. I knew how much they meant to me, and I could only imagine what they could mean to others once th...

Reader Question:
Mr. Walsch: Thank you so much for CWG. To say it is amazing is a masterpiece of understatement. A lot of your book verifies things I already feel are true. Some of it, as you know, is truly surprising. I am on my second reading.
This is a book that must be read several times. A question I would hope you would be able to address is about meditation. I live in an apartment complex that is adjacent to a four lane street.
Although I am a senior citizen, I have very good heari...
Secret of happy relationships
My dear friends...
I spoke in this space last time about the fact that loneliness is the biggest social issue on our planet today. I said that we’ve been living in a world of increasing isolation, where extended families have been disappearing and the opportunities for closeness with others have been vanishing. The sudden rise and almost addictive use of social networking sites on the Internet by millions around the globe is, without doubt, humanity’s collective compensatory behavior.
Yet w...

Reader question:
Dear Neale...Can you suggest what, as a world or national citizen, our political duties should be?
Neale Responds:
In the eyes of God, my friend, there is no such thing as "should." There are some things in the political realm that national citizens are invited to do...and indeed, I wrote an entire book about them. They are far too numerous to place in a one or two paragraph answer here.
May I suggest you read the book The Storm Before the Calm? You will find it posted ...
Vulnerable, close, and naked
My dear friends...
We have been discussing in this space something that I have called The Holy Experience. And this week I want to share with you that I observe the quality of my life increasing exponentially when I am willing to be vulnerable, close, and naked—as opposed to being totally invulnerable, closed off, and always having my backside covered.
I find that when I am close to another, I am close to myself. I find that when I am ready to share intimacy, authenticity, the Real Me and t...
A Letter to Neale
Reader question:
Dear Neale.. I recently listened to Book 3 where God is saying that mediums and channeling the other side is pretty much fraudulent and useless. I've been a medium for over 30 years, bona fide, honest and convinced that I am bringing a useful, and sometimes priceless service to people who have lost their loved ones and need comfort, assurance of life after death, and the knowledge that their loved ones are always with them. Why is my channeling of this information so terrible...
Do you have discipline?
My dear friends...
We have been exploring here what I have called The Holy Experience, and how to create it in one’s life. There are a number of tools that I have found with which one may do this, and over the past many weeks we have been exploring them one by one. Last week we looked at Tool #10, Service. Today, we invite you to pick up the tool of Discipline.
I see this tool being used in two ways. First, as a means of forming and shaping my own day-to-day experience of life, so that I ma...
A Letter to Neale
Reader question:
Dear Neale.. I was a liberal wing Swedenborgian back in the 90's. In 1758, in one of his revelations he said came from God (sound like anyone ), he wrote a very definite book account of visiting Heaven and Hell. He said God is never angry, is love itself, and never sentences anyone to hell --- but he said there is one. "Anyone can enter heaven. However as soon as an evil person inhales the air there, they have excruciating torment, so they quickly shun it and escape to a stat...
