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...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale....I do not know my "purpose" in life, and it is driving me crazy. What am I "supposed" to be doing here? What is the point of all this? I've been trying to figure this out since I was 21. Now I'm 36 and am no closer than I was before. I mean, I know it can't just be about "work" (I have a pretty decent job), so what is it about?


Thanks for giving me your (and CWG's) "take" on this...

Love, Janette G

Well, my friend, your question could not...

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...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale....I have a question that concerns consequences or punishment. I read in your books that punishments are not the natural (best) way for someone to experience a consequence of a crime that a person committed. That it will not do any good to anyone to punish someone by the law (our own made up consequences).
 
I can understand that in many of the cases, but what happens if a person could be very dangerous to others during the time when he waits to experience...

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...

Reader Question:

Dear Neale...My fiance (This is Neale writing in parentheses...I'm going to use the fictitious name "James" here in this letter...) lost his brother at 18 (accidental gunshot). James has been grieving for 18 years and is still full of rage and resentment at the lost. He is happy for his brother at his release from this life, but he is still angry at not having his brother to share his life with. What can I say to help James be free of his anger and realize the peace, love...

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...

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...

….. 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,...
