| 0bfe9c4 | You say "hold to your values" at the same time you say our values are all wrong. Help me with this. I have not said your values are wrong. But neither are they right. They are simply judgments. Assessments. Decisions. For the most part, they are decisions made not by you, but by someone else. Your parents, perhaps. Your religion. Your teachers, historians, politicians. Very few of the value judgments you have incorporated into your truth ar.. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| c1d81e4 | Fear clings to and clutches all that we have, love gives all that we have away. Fear holds close, love holds dear. Fear grasps, love lets go. Fear rankles, love soothes. Fear attacks, love amends. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 6042133 | Divine Dichotomy holds that it is possible for two apparently contradictory truths to exist simultaneously in the same space. Now on your planet people find this difficult to accept. They like to have order, and anything that does not fit into their picture is automatically rejected. For this reason, when two realities begin to assert themselves and they seem to contradict one another, the immediate assumption is that one of them must be wr.. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 2a3510b | It is not nearly so important how well a message is received as how well it is sent." --Neale Donald Walsch" | Jamie Butler | ||
| 5fca88d | The great teachers of your Christian religion understand this. They know that Jesus was not perturbed by the crucifixion, but expected it. He could have walked away, but he did not. He could have stopped the process at any point. He had that power. Yet he did not. He allowed himself to be crucified in order that he might stand as man's eternal salvation. Look, he said, at what I can do. Look at what is true. And know that these things, and .. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| f718cc6 | Let each person find peace within. When you find peace within, you also find that you can do without. This means simply that you no longer need the things of your outside world. "Not needing" is a great freedom. It frees you, first, from fear: fear that there is something you won't have; fear that there is something you have that you will lose; and fear that without a certain thing, you won't be happy. Secondly, "not needing" frees you from.. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 8925625 | And so it was, that when they taunted him, saying, "If you are the Son of God, come down from that cross!"--the man called Jesus did nothing. Yet three days later, quietly and unobtrusively, when there were no witnesses and no crowds and no one to whom to prove anything, he did something a great deal more astonishing--and the world has been talking about it ever since. And in this miracle is found your salvation, for you have been shown the.. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| fe71ed3 | Nothing is painful in and of itself. Pain is a result of wrong thought. It is an error in thinking. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 3eb53fb | For parents who do not want children questioning their values are not parents who love their children, but rather, who love themselves through their children. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| f1afe40 | Yes. Read the writings of the man called Rudolf Steiner. Explore the methods of The Waldorf School, which he developed. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 22de483 | Not just in matters of sexuality, but in all of life, never, ever, ever, fail to do something simply because it might violate someone else's standards of propriety. If I had one bumper sticker on my car, it would read: VIOLATE PROPRIETY I would certainly put such a sign in every bedroom. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 08b7eaf | Your story does not live in your soul, only in your mind. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 03c7c09 | Bring peace to the Earth by bringing peace to all those whose lives you touch. Be peace. Feel and express in every moment your Divine Connection with the All, and with every person, place, and thing. Embrace every circumstance, own every fault, share every joy, contemplate every mystery, walk in every man's shoes, forgive every offense (including your own), heal every heart, honor every person's truth, adore every person's God, protect ever.. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 3721890 | I have sent you to the Garden of the Gods and offered you the whole world in which to play. I have provided sufficient bounty to make certain that there is enough for everyone. No one should go hungry, least of all die of hunger. No one need be without clothing to keep warm, nor should anyone be without shelter from the storm. There is enough for everyone. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| ee3e038 | economic--when economic security and basic materialistic needs are guaranteed to all--then incentive will not disappear, but be of a different sort, increasing in strength and determination, producing true greatness, not the kind of transparent, transient "greatness" which present incentives produce." | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 27571b6 | You have created sexual embarrassment, repression, and shame--which has led to sexual inhibition, dysfunction, and violence. You will, as a society, always be inhibited about that over which you are embarrassed; always be dysfunctional with behaviors which have been repressed, and always act out violently in protest of being made to feel shame about that over which you know in your heart you should never have felt shame at all. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| f21a366 | The first step is learning to monitor your thoughts; to think about what you are thinking about. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 9c87b3c | Think of it this way. The word "I" is the key that starts the engine of creation. The words "I am" are extremely powerful. They are statements to the universe. Commands. Now, whatever follows the word "I" (which calls forth the Great I Am) tends to manifest in physical reality. Therefore "I" + "want success" produces you wanting success. "I" + "want money" must produce you wanting money. It can produce no other thing, because thoughts, word.. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 53c1349 | Your nation is the richest, most powerful on the Earth, and it has one of the highest infant mortality rates. Why? Because poor people cannot afford quality pre-natal and post-natal care--and your society is profit driven. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| af79b7b | It is religion which has ordered men to bow down before God, where once man rose up in joyful outreach. It is religion which has burdened man with worries about God's wrath, where once man sought God to lighten his burden! It is religion which told man to be ashamed of his body and its most natural functions, where once man celebrated those functions as the greatest gifts of life! It is religion which taught you that you must have an interm.. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 1df9059 | Truth and politics do not and cannot mix because politics is the art of saying only what needs to be said--and saying it in just the right way--in order to achieve a desired end. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 656c761 | Originally, governments had very limited functions. Their purpose was simply to "preserve and protect." Then someone added "provide." When governments began to be the people's provider as well as the people's protector, governments started creating society, rather than preserving it." | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 60ac7fe | Hope is the doorway to belief, belief is the doorway to knowing, knowing is the doorway to creation, and creation is the doorway to experience. Experience is the doorway to expression, expression is the doorway to becoming, becoming is the activity of all Life and the only function of God. What you hope, you will eventually believe, what you believe, you will eventually know, what you know, you will eventually create, what you create, you w.. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 051143d | Thinking is hard. Making value judgments is difficult. It places you at pure creation, because there are so many times you II have to say, "I don't know. I just don't know." Yet still you'll have to decide. And so you'll have to choose. You'll have to make an arbitrary choice. Such a choice--a decision coming from no previous personal knowledge--is called pure creation. And the individual is aware, deeply aware, that in the making of such d.. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 432c058 | Aren't all laws simply man's attempt to codify moral concepts? Is not "legislation" simply our combined agreement as to what is "right" and "wrong"? Yes. And certain civil laws--rules and regulations--are required in your primitive society. (You understand that in nonprimitive societies such laws are unnecessary. All beings regulate themselves.)" | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| d84abe1 | Look, yours is a very young species. You are like children. You are the toddlers of the universe. So you go around doing things that you know are not good for you, because it seems like more fun in the moment. Or you simply forget what you've been told. This is the story of your species' collective experience on Earth. You've let it be your experience as an individual, too, even though you know better. You're not just observing non-benefici.. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 37236c9 | What is needed is a growth in consciousness, not a growth of government. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 57acc6f | You will never disserve your relationship--nor anyone--by seeing more in another than they are showing you. For there is more there. Much more. It is only their fear that stops them from showing you. If others notice that you see them as more, they will feel safe to show you what you obviously already see. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 0bcc96c | Let's say that people tend to see in themselves what we see in them. The grander our vision, the grander their willingness to access and display the part of them we have shown them. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| eb9c2ee | right" is a term you use to designate something with which you agree. What you've missed will, therefore, appear at first to be "wrong." | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 935195e | Death should teach you that what is real is life. And life teaches you that what is unavoidable is not death, but impermanence. Impermanence is the only truth. Nothing is permanent. All is changing. In every instant. In every moment. Were anything permanent, it could not be. For even the very concept of permanence depends upon impermanence to have any meaning. Therefore, even permanence is impermanent. Look at this deeply. Contemplate this .. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||

| df7e196 | Love is not created as a result of certain conditions. Certain conditions are created as a result of love. | NealeDonald Walsch | ||
| d92e2b6 | Every action taken by human beings is based in love or fear, not simply those dealing with relationships. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 687c541 | I assure you, there needs to be no place on Earth where people cannot have access to clean, pure water--and whatever else is needed to "make life work"--if the people of Earth simply cared enough about each other." | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| ffa91a7 | There is only one purpose for all of life, and that is for you and all that lives to experience fullest glory. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 1721d11 | As Stephen Krashen and Joanne Ujiie (2005) assert, "Many people are fearful that if children engage in 'light reading,' if they read comics and magazines they will stay with this kind of reading forever, that they will never go on to more 'serious' reading. The opposite appears to be the case. The evidence suggests that light reading provides the competence and motivation to continue reading and to read more demanding texts" (p. 6)." | Donalyn Miller | ||
| 9ad51d9 | You have so mamy different personas. The one i meet in Dublin, the one who speaks on the phone. There are a few other bonos: the one who writes in the morning, the one who performs in front of crowds, the one who addresses U.S congressmen, and of course the one who now sits on the board of elevation partners. Of course the same person shelters all those different roles. All art is an attempt to identify yourself. You try out many differen.. | personas | Michka Assayas | |
| 7a3bf18 | So how did you end up making a fool of yourself in front of twenty thousand people? I had a bigger hole to fill. What do you mean? A rock star is someone with a hole in his heart almost the size of his ego. | hole-in-your-heart | Michka Assayas | |
| 0a98e37 | Where that rage comes from? Partly, I would say it's a sense that a life can be taken away from you, quickly, in a dumb second for the dumbest reason. That makes me mad, defensive and protective. | rage | Michka Assayas | |
| 7252af9 | Time often is forgiving and dismissive of the influences, because they recede. We look at Sgt. Pepper and we go "wow! How did they ever think that up?" but of course, if you got into Paul McCartney's bedroom, found his record collection at the time, you would find out. But the clues are gone. It's like evolution: there are certain pure situations that hang around longer, but the ones that got them there don't have time to leave fossils. We .. | inspiration | Michka Assayas | |
| cf478a7 | He always had this thing about him, that he wouldn't nominate himself to run in the race. But if he was put in the race, he would want to win it. It's a strange thing. He has a healthy disrespect - and respect - for his own ego. He knows what he's capable of, and he would not push himself forward. He would rather hang back in the shadows and be discovered. | Michka Assayas | ||
