My dear friends...

Conversations with God said that what you resist persists. Often this is misunderstood to mean that we should accept everything that occurs or appears in our life without any attempt or determination to change it. Yet that is not what it means.

It is perfectly okay, in spiritual terms, to seek to change any circumstance, situation, or condition that arises in your life with which you do not agree. Here is the key point around all of this: Change is not resistance. To seek...

How simple is the message of Conversations with God? It is as simple as A-B-C. Here is something that I woke up with in my head one morning...

A ll things are One Thing. There is only One Thing, and All Things are part of the One Thing that is.

B etter is an illusion. Nothing is better than anything else.

C all on Me whenever and wherever you seek the Peace that I Am. I will be there.

D o unto others as you would have it done unto you.

E very act is an act of self...

There is no greater thing that we can do in all this world than to give people back to themselves. That was the original mission of the ReCreation Foundation, and it is, in fact, why I called the foundation "ReCreation."

I got very clear in the moments after my Conversations with God experience that what the material had done was give me back to myself. I also got very clear that this is what it was inviting me to do for others. I was, in fact, being...

All through my life I have been afraid.   Fear has ruled much of my experience.   I learned to be afraid as a little child.   I was taught to be afraid by my parents and others in my environment.

I learned to be afraid of the things that my parents were afraid of.   I learned to be afraid of the things that my family was afraid of.   I learned to be afraid of the things that the people around me and in my culture and in my country were afraid of....

You will recall that last week in this space we discussed the True Nature of God as Pure Intelligence, a point I made in a talk in Tokyo. This led one member of my audience to say...

"When I first read Conversations with God I was very touched because it allowed me to believe in a God who was personal, a God who loved me. Now I am confused. You have just described a God who is not even a person or a being, and who doesn't care what I do or how my life turns out.

"I feel...

I was in Tokyo some time back talking about God.

Incredible, wonderful, marvelous discussion. Three hundred-plus in the audience. Not a one of them looked bored, or "out of it." Everybody was paying rapt attention. Many asked incisive, important questions.

At one point I was describing God in this way:

"God is not a Super Being in the Sky, with the same proclivities and emotional needs as human beings, including the need for love and for revenge when love is betrayed or not...

Life IS a System, and there is a way to go about changing your life, improving your life, systematically. This "way" is what some people have called... The Secret.

If I consider everything around me as pure energy (which is surely what everything is), I begin to sensitize myself to how all of the energies in my surrounding environment are interacting with each other -- and how they are interacting with ME.

I have discovered that it is possible to become acutely aware...

In What God Wants , we are told about "the Tool of Tools," a two-layer mechanism for dealing with life that can change everything in your personal experience overnight.

  The Tool of Tools is a two-step process bringing an individual to a place of mastery. It all has to do with how a person handles her or his feelings.

  What God Wants tells us that "The first level of mastery is to consciously decide how you choose to feel about a certain thing. The second level...

I remember that a few days after Communion with God -- a book written entirely from God's point of view in a first-person voice -- hit the bookstores, reporters began calling me for interviews, and many of them led with the same question:

How can you claim to be speaking in the first person voice of God? Isn't that just a bit presumptuous?

It's a fair question. While I am not the first person to have produced such a book (far from it, in fact), inquiring minds still...

My dear friends...

In all new relationships with romantic potential (and you all know exactly which ones those are) a single question looms large: When do we become sexual?

In order to answer that question we must ask a larger one: What IS sexuality, anyway?

If we do not understand what sexuality is, we will not understand when to express ourselves in a sexual way. So here is the truth about sexuality that nobody ever told you: You are always expressing yourself in a sexual way....
