A person can either do something in order to be happy, or... a person can start the day by simply deciding to BE happy and the things that person will do will automatically reflect that.
Neale Donald WalschA thing is only right or wrong because you say it is. A thing is not right or wrong intrinsically.
Neale Donald WalschAll mysteries of human experience that are eliminated when we understand that we are a great deal more than our body and when you look very deeply at who and what the soul really is, who and what God really is.
Neale Donald WalschTrue abundance has nothing to do with anything that I am having, and everything to do with what I am being. And that when I share my abundance of beingness abundantly with all those whose lives I touch, everything I sought to have came to me automatically, without my even trying to have them.
Neale Donald WalschYou must learn to honor and cherish and love your Self. You must first see your Self as worthy before you can see another as worthy. You must first know your Self to be holy before you can acknowledge holiness in another.
Neale Donald WalschYou'll find individuals agreeing on this, but when they get into collective societies and larger groups they find it difficult to achieve group agreement.
Neale Donald WalschThe secret of life is not to have everything you want, but to want everything you have.
Neale Donald WalschI think God is the creative force of the universe. I think it is the raw material from which life emerges.
Neale Donald WalschLook to see what you are doing today. Is this how you choose to define yourself? Look to see what you are thinking today. Is this what you wish to create?
Neale Donald WalschThe world is in the condition that it's in because the world is full of sleepwalkers.
Neale Donald WalschThought is pure energy. Every thought you have, have ever had, and ever will have is creative. The energy of your thought never dies. Ever. It leaves your being and heads out into the universe, extending forever. A thought is forever.
Neale Donald WalschYour job, your invitation from the Universe, is to give people back to themselves. You can do this every day, in a hundred ways. All you have to do is look for the best in that person, and then show it to them, right then and there. Describe it. Admire it. Thank them for it. Why not practice it with the first three people you encounter after reading this?
Neale Donald WalschThere are those who say that seeing is believing. I am telling you that believing is seeing.
Neale Donald WalschEvery decision you make - every decision - is not a decision about what to do. It's a decision about Who You Are. When you see this, when you understand it, everything changes. You begin to see life in a new way. All events, occurrences, and situations turn into opportunities to do what you came here to do.
Neale Donald WalschWhat? You're thinking for yourself? You're deciding on your own? You're applying your own yardsticks, your own judgments, your own values? Who do you think you are, anyway? And, indeed, that is precisely the question you are answering.
Neale Donald WalschWhat is needed in the world today is a Civil Rights Movement for the Soul, freeing humanity at last from the oppression of its belief in a violent, angry, and vindictive God.
Neale Donald WalschI tell you this: The purpose of life is not to please God. The purpose of life is to know, and to recreate, Who You Are.
Neale Donald WalschStop giving your power away and begin to trust that your feelings are in fact expressions of the deepest truths.
Neale Donald WalschI don't think that God is a person, a great big person in the sky. I think that God is the essence of life that shapes and forms itself in a thousand different ways, in a million lifetimes, that can be used and focused, and directed and experienced.
Neale Donald WalschYou can choose to be willing for a new understand of God and Life to now be brought forth, and understanding that could produce a new way of life on your planer.
Neale Donald WalschYour personal freedom to experience yourself and life as you wish is not being limited. Step into your choices and stop telling yourself that you can't, when what you really mean is that you don't want other people to feel the way you think that are going to feel when they see you making the choices you really want to make.
Neale Donald WalschI do not communicate by words alone. In fact, rarely do I do so. My most common form of communication is through feeling. Feeling is the language of the soul. If you want to know what's true for you about something, look to how you're feeling about it... Hidden in your deepest feelings is your highest truth.
Neale Donald WalschIf "man who supports his family, at all costs, even his own happiness" is Who You Are, then love your work, because it is facilitating your creation of a living statement of Self. If "woman who works at job she hates in order to meet responsibilities as she sees them" is Who You Are, then love, love, love your job, for it totally supports your Self image, your Self concept. Everyone can love everything the moment they understand what they are doing, and why. No one does anything he doesn't want to do.
Neale Donald WalschHowever little of anything you have, you can always find someone who has less. Find that someone, and give to them from the abundance that is yours.
Neale Donald WalschThe outcome that we wish suddenly manifests itself in our reality, and the truth is, none of those things suddenly appeared. It is we who have suddenly appeared on the scene where they existed always.
Neale Donald WalschYou can choose to acknowledge that some of your old beliefs about God and about Life are no longer working.
Neale Donald WalschI have established Laws in the universe that make it possible for you to have-to create-exactly what you choose. These Laws cannot be violated, nor can they be ignored. You are following these Laws right now, even as you read this. You cannot not follow the Law, for these are the ways things work. You cannot step aside from this; you cannot operate outside of it.
Neale Donald WalschWhat are you being? What are you choosing to be? Is it loving? Is it caring? Healing?You can be more of that no matter what you are doing. Yet, the magic of it is, the more of that your are BEING, the more what you are DOING will fall perfectly into place to allow you to "be" even more of that!Trust this process. It works.You will discover that forms - physical ways to "be" a thing - will suddenly start to just "show up".Beingness becomes form.
Neale Donald WalschYou cannot create a thing-not a thought, an object, an event-no experience of any kind-which is outside of God's plan. For God's plan is for you to create anything-everything-whatever you want.
Neale Donald WalschBelieving that you cannot have something is the same thing as not desiring to have it, for it produces the same result.
Neale Donald WalschI think that it is true that for me as I observe it, that the Western World tends to be more of , tends to encompass more of, the masculine energy of the planet itself, the planet's population. Whereas the Eastern part of the world tends to encompass more of the planet's population's feminine aspects. And for those reasons the East and the West tend to approach God very much as men and women do. So the differences between East and West are the differences between men and women, largely.
Neale Donald WalschRelease the joy that is inside of another, and you release the joy that is inside of you.
Neale Donald WalschIt is not a question of whether you 'have what it takes,' but of whether you take the gifts you have - they are plenteous - and share them with all the world.
Neale Donald WalschSeek to create change in your life not because something is 'wrong' ? but because it no longer makes an accurate statement of 'who you are'.
Neale Donald WalschI do not love "good" more than I love "bad." Hitler went to heaven. When you understand this, you will understand God.
Neale Donald WalschLove is sometimes shown in the things you don't say, don't keep track of and don't notice. The greatest kindness is often shown in letting things go. None of us is perfect, but we can all be perfect friends and perfect partners by allowing those that we love to be imperfect. Give those around you the 'break' that you hope the world will give you on your own 'bad day' and you'll never, ever regret it.
Neale Donald WalschThe point of life is not to get anywhereโit is to notice that you are, and have always been, already there. You are always and forever in the moment of pure creation. The point of life therefore is to createโwho and what you are, and then to experience that.
Neale Donald WalschWhen you do not require a person to show up as you imagine you need them to be, then you can drop expectation. Then you love them exactly as they are. Yet this can only happen when you love your Self exactly as you are
Neale Donald WalschThe deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek therefore, not to find out Who You Are, but seek to determine Who You Want to Be.
Neale Donald WalschDo what you do for the sheer joy of it, Do what you choose,not what someone else chooses for you.
Neale Donald WalschLife begins now -- right now -- not tomorrow or the next day or the next. Every minute of every hour of every day, life begins anew. That means everything can change in an instant. It also means you can have a new beginning whenever you want.
Neale Donald WalschYou think of yourselves as humans searching for a spiritual awakening, when in fact you are spiritual beings attempting to cope with a human awakening. Seeing yourselves from the perspective of the spirit within will help you to remember why you came here and what you came here to do.
