Dear Neale,

At the completion of your second book, you state that some of us may be uncomfortable with the ideas presented, and that they should not be accepted as “gospel." I have a real serious problem with that statement! If you cannot believe the word of God, what else is there? Doesn't that one sentence contradict everything you have written? God says one of our problems is that we don’t believe Him…HELP! I am confused!

Also, I took everything I read very seriously...

Dear Neale,

Would you please clarify something I am confused about? Tithing. I tithed for years when I was in a fundamentalist church, so I know what it means. For the past year I have been giving away at least ten percent of my gross income, most of it to sources of spiritual growth. So many different things I’ve read have been consistent about the importance of putting back at least ten percent into the Universe, but there seems to be no consensus about where to give it.

You have...

Hi,

A close friend and business partner was killed recently in a car accident in which another driver crossed the center line and hit him head on.  Our family is struggling to come to terms with it.  Some questions that arise are: did our friend choose to transmute himself into another form at this time or did God choose to transmute him?  Is there a perfect divine order to things or are events like this random?  Could our friend, if he chose, help us in his current...

Dear Neale Donald,

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for writing Conversations with God. In a sense, I envy you, wishing to “heaven” I’d authored it, instead of yourself; but whatever, if we are “all one,” then I really did have a hand in getting it channeled, created, and into print. I just wish I also had a share of its royalties!

You did a marvelous job of writing down much of my belief system, and it was confirming for me to see it in print! I’ve never...

Dear Neale,

On page eighty-two of CwGBook 2, God says, “When you think of someone, if that person is sensitive enough, he or she can feel it.” I am one of those people who can feel it. I was very relieved to read those words, as never before have I had an explanation for the “feelings.” If I ever tried to talk to anyone about it I would usually just get a blank stare. Now I know I’m not crazy, just “sensitive.” I am looking for more information about...

Dear Neale,

I’ve been working at a couple of restaurants for several years now, and have become very dissatisfied with the restaurant industry here. I’m very attracted to alternative therapies, from massage, nutrition and yoga to transpersonal psychology, pastoral counseling, and herbs. I want a career change! I don’t know which of the above I should choose. I don’t ever seem to get an answer to my question in meditation, so could you ask God which is best for me, and...

Dear Neale,

Your weekly bulletins are such an important part of my life.  You bring me back to myself in each and every one, and given the last two years that I've had, I can't tell you how needed your words have been.

I have lost seven very special people to me in the past eighteen months--my young father, two best friends who were in their forties, and other special people who seemed to me to die before their time. Each week, when your bulletins come I am reminded of my own truth, of...

Dear Neale,

If we are creating our realities by our thoughts, words and actions, what about the victims of brutal crimes, senseless slaughters/mutilations? Do those people choose to die that way?

Neale Responds

My friend,

You have asked a very fair and penetrating question. And the issue is even larger than you have stated it. For it is not only a matter of our intentions and choices, but of God’s. I mean, is it God’s will (even if it is not ours) that these...

Dear Neale:

How does one stay in touch with current events without losing one’s center, one’s place of peace? So much news is excitable hype aimed at titillating the viewer and improving the network ratings. Naturally, death and violence top the list of what is deemed to be “news the people want.” I feel like I have to meditate before and after the news. I’m sure it’s an inner thing, a filter of sorts to detach from getting caught up in manipulative...

Dear Neale,

I've been with you all along, since you published your first CwG book.  I've been to your retreats, read your newsletters and all of your books.

And your newsletters have always been good. I look forward to receiving them and they positively impact my life each and every time I open one.  I often share them with friends.

Lately, they seem to have a new depth and clarity---a clarity full of understanding and longing in each and every word.  I feel as if your journey...
