On February 28th, Neale will explore the tools found in the new book, “Letters to a Young Seeker”, co-authored with his wife, Em Claire. Explored in the E-treat will be what Neale considers to be the most important messages of Conversations with God – with live, real-time back-and-forth discussion with participants about life’s biggest questions.

From Neale:

As my wife Em Claire explains on her website (EmClairePoet.love), this new book was inspired by a series of letters written to a young man who found himself faced with the confines of the times in which he lived, challenging what made sense to his own soul. Having come across Rainer Maria Rilke's poetry, he reached out to the author for guidance, and over time, several letters ensued.

“Letters to a Young Poet” is a collection of ten letters written by poet Rainer Maria Rilke between 1903 and 1908 to Franz Xaver Kappus, a 19-year-old officer cadet. It offers profound, lyrical advice on nurturing artistic creativity by embracing solitude, patience, and inner introspection rather than seeking external validation." (Jonah Calinawan).

Em shares that she has carried the beauty of this in her heart for now thirty years. One morning some months ago, “Letters to a Young Seeker” appeared in her mind. It felt as if it was something which she and her husband could fashion together, and so she shared the idea with me, and we allowed it to organically unfold. Thus, “Letters To a Young Seeker” came into Being. 

The book is a series of short, very to-the-point letters to those who are young and young at heart, explicitly exploring the many secrets about life that were revealed to me in my Conversations with God dialogues. Em then placed her poetic insights after each letter, choosing what she felt were the right poems for each letter, taken from her collection written in the last 20 years.

I know that if I had heard years ago the messages in these letters, I would have had a much more serene and stress-free life --- and would have caused far less hurt to so many others. Some of the questions we’ll look at during the online E-treat this Saturday are…

1. What are the most powerful and immediately usable tools given to us in Conversations with God?
2. How can I determine and open to the loving guidance and support within those messages?
3. How is the deepest meaning of life’s events best determined?
4. What is the most effective way to move through what seem like obstacles to my goals and dreams?
5. What are some ideas and ways that I might learn to have my own Conversations with God, the “god of my understanding”? 

We hope you will join us for this deep, wide-ranging discussion of the role that highly impactful spiritual messages can play in our lives.
