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...

Neale Responds

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...

We have apparently d...

Reader Question:

Hi Neale, Everywhere I look I see people exhibiting behaviors that are destroying our planet...yet they seem to have no awareness of the consequences of their actions. What is this about, do you think? Are people really that uncaring?
GWM, Houston, TX.

Neale Responds

No, I do not believe that people, at their basis, are uncaring. But there is another condition at play here. I believe it is as it was written in Communion with God...

Many humans continue to see themselves...

 Mr. Walsch, Thank you for your wonderful books. I have one question. It concerns the story in the Bible where Jesus curses the fig tree because it doesn't bear fruit. I don't understand why he would do this, because it also says that it wasn't the season for the tree to bear figs. The fig tree example must be there for a reason, but what?

For a long time this story has seemed to represent to me what seems a certain capriciousness on the part of Jesus/God, which perhaps refers to how man feels....

Dear Neale,

In CwG, God says we can't define God. If not, how do we know that God is love? Also, why did God want to know Himself? I have gotten used to the idea that God is love and light and truth and abundance, etc. But to some people, love is defined differently. If the only love they've known is limited and self-serving, how can they know that love is understanding and forgiveness and non-judgment? My brother-in-law thinks that love is disciplining, that God is a disciplinarian. He is comf...

 Dear Neale,

Your book says there is no such thing as “right” and “wrong”. What about “good” and “evil?” Is there true evil in the world?

RJL, CA.

Neale Responds

Yes, there is, RJL, and we must be grateful for it. Evil is the greatest gift God ever allowed us to give ourselves.

Re-read the Conversations with God books very closely and you will understand why.

For now, this gentle and loving thought...fight not evil with evil, and neither condemn it. Rather, bless it and see it for what ...

Dear Mr. Walsch,

Thank you for being the vehicle through which the CwG material has been transmitted to the rest of the world. It has been said that many are called but few are chosen. Clearly you have been one who has been chosen, or perhaps it is more correct to say you are one who chose. It’s also been said that it is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. Well, my friend, the light from your candle has already touched over a million souls…and you have only just begun.

Basic...

 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 until I came upon page...

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 also talked...

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 state?  Any insight into the...

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 “fit in” with my relatives, who tried t...
