No such thing as Right & Wrong?
My dear friends...
One of the most controversial concepts in the messages of CwG is the idea that there is no absolute right and no absolute wrong in God’s universe.
The human mind finds this difficult to accept. If there is no absolute right, how can we know when we are on the path to God? By what measure shall we estimate our progress? By what determination shall we know what our actions should be in any given circumstance? How shall we create our laws? What shall constitute our...
Where does time go?
My dear friends...
I am struck again by how fast the years of our lives go by. I am, to be honest, utterly amazed that we are already over half way through this year. I can’t imagine where this time went...
What I am clear about is that the days of our lives blow past very swiftly --- and that what used to feel like longer moments within those days seem now like only nanoseconds.
To me, this means that I am being invited by Life Itself to use every single solitary moment to create...
Meditation on the 'Go'
My dear friends...
Conversations with God invites us to strive always for awareness. It even gives us several formulas by which we can arrive at this place of consciousness. One of the most effective of these methods is meditation. There are many ways to meditate, and it was a wonderful discovery when I learned this.
One of the most powerful forms of meditation for me is what I have called Stopping Meditation. The reason this is so powerful for me is that it can be done anywhere, and it...
Why Are We Here?
My dear friends...
Each week I get letters from people telling me that their lives are in shambles, that nothing is going right, that money is drying up, that relationships are crumbling or have crumbled, that work is uninspired and uninspiring, and that life itself has lost its meaning and its joy.
More and more people, even those in affluent countries, are feeling disconnected, deluded, discouraged and depressed. What's UP here...what do you think is going on? Why can't we seem to make...
Happiness and Love
My dear friends...
There is a key to happiness and love that very few people have embraced—and that many have never even heard about. Communion with God gives us that key, and here it is: Happiness is a decision, not an experience. You can decide to be happy without having what you thought you needed to have in order to be happy, and you will be.
That is one of the most important things you could ever come to understand. Allow me, therefore, to repeat it. Happiness is a decision. Your...
Why is this happening?
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...
Love or Fear?
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:

What have we learned?
This bulletin is from 2013.
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,...
Why Do We Suffer?
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...
How does Divinity manifest itself?
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...
