My
dear friends...I have just come across something that is quite extraordinary.
I invite you to take a look at it here:
http://www.bigpicturesmallworld.com/winningpeace.html
Then,
I invite you to revisit -- or send someone else to visit -- this site:
www.FiveStepsToPeace.com
Finally,
this week I would like to invite you to look at deciding to make
a
real difference in our world, and to gather with others in even more
collective
actions that can change our experience of life on this
planet.
I was
re-reading the copy this week at www.HumanitysTeam.com,
and I found myself becoming excited all over again at the possibilities
present when large numbers of people join
hands
and combine energies. Maybe you might think of a friend or two this
week
who might be served by learning about Humanity's Team. Could you please
send
them this link? That would be so great. Such a wonderful help, just in
spreading
the word. Thanks.

My Mistake?
I am
so saddened by these thoughts that keep surfacing about how the
world
as we know it is going to end. The end of the world has been predicted
from
the beginning of time. And with the choices we are making, the world
very
well may end sometime soon . . . or certainly, life as it is now being
lived
may change amazingly and dramatically.
But
the question in front of us should not be, 'Oh, my, what is going to
happen
to me? And the world?'
The
way to prepare is to ask, how can I use this moment now to become
the
personification of the grandest version of the greatest vision ever I
held
about myself? How can I heal myself and heal the world? What good can I
do
in this moment now to bring more love, more light, more awareness, more
understanding,
and more unconditional acceptance to the world? How can
I
touch the part of me which is touched in every moment of God?
What
happens on this planet occurs out of the will of the Collective
Consciousness.
It is the product of the Combined Reality shared by all.
That
combined reality is shaped, formed, created in part by you, every hour,
every
day. Thoughts are things, and can be used by you to change the
things
which have been created by other thoughts which have preceded you.
There
is much writing out there that suggests that we are on a
collision
course which cannot be avoided; that our fate is predestined. Yet I
tell
you this:
NOTHING
is predestined in the Mind of God, for the Mind of God is
YOUR
mind, thinking what it is thinking right now. Yours, and mine, and
everyone
else's. It is OUR thoughts, OUR ideas, OUR decision, OUR choices, OUR
determinations
which will, and do, create our Reality.
That
is the Largest Message of God: YOU ARE CREATING YOUR OWN
REALITY.
So few really get that. Even few so-called "New Agers." If they did, they
wouldn't
ask questions such as "Are the end-times predictions true?"
They
would ask "What do I choose now to do in the face of all the world's
thoughts
about this?"
Then
they would answer the question, not merely ask it, waiting for
an
answer from another.
You
know all you need to know of love, of peace, of harmony, of
honesty
and integrity, kindness and goodness, peace and, yes, even of God.
Simply
act as if you did. Make every day, every moment, a living monument to
what
you really know of these things; a living testimony to what you have
decided
about these things; a living demonstration of Who You Really Are.
Do
what you ARE. Do loving, kind, gentle, peaceful, honorable,
healing
things. Every day. Everywhere you go. With every person whose life you
touch.
Then, seek to touch even more lives. And then, even more after
that.
Reach out and touch the world with your magnificence, and the
magnificence
of the Truth of Who You Are. Of who we all are.
In
every moment we have the choice to live in Love or in Fear. Choose
Love
now, and in every moment. If the world is going to end as we know it,
so
what? I mean really . . . so what? Only one of two things can happen
.
.
. you are going to die with it, in which case you'll be in a far better
place
than ever you imagined. . . or you will be continuing to live, and in
the
most exciting times this planet has ever seen. And you will be one of
the
few with an understanding of all that happened, and all that can then
happen,
to create a Newer World.
So
live not in Fear, but in Faith. Faith that whatever the future
holds,
it is perfect. God is a loving God. Nothing is created - nothing -
which
does not proceed to your Highest Good. You either believe that or you
don't.
If you do, there is nothing I need to say to make everything feel
better
to you. If you don't, there is nothing I can say.
I don't
claim to know or have all the answers. Neither, I think, do
the
doomsayers, nor anyone else. All messages we receive are received
through
the filters of our own understandings and prior beliefs. In other
words,
Neale hears what Neale is prepared to hear, ready to hear, trained to
hear,
predisposed to hear. Only you can decide whether what Neale hears from
his
Source is anything close to the Truth of YOUR being. The same is true
of
the material which comes through anyone else.
With
the rapidly changing events in our world, it may very well be
shaken
to its core within the next several years - or less. Some say this
month.
The
question is, Then what? What will you do then? What good will
you
be to the rest of us? To those who are in fear and anguish, trembling in
the
dark, afraid of the future?
I say
this to you, my friend. You have been sent to the world at
precisely
this time in order to be one of those who heals the world, not sends it
further
into fear. Do that. It is not difficult. Anyone who has ever
received
even so much as a smile from you would tell you how easy it is
for
you to do that.
Go,
therefore, and be a gift unto the world. And smile a lot. For a
smile
is love announced. Love of whatever and whoever it is you are smiling
at.

The Question of the Week from a CwG Reader:
"Revenge
and Justice: Is there a difference?"
Dear
Mr. Walsch......I've almost finished with Book 1, and I am sure
that
in order for me to completely, if ever, understand it, I will need to
read
it over and over and over (as God, He, She, It, You or Me says!). In
one
of your bulletins, I hope you will discuss the difference between wanting
revenge
and waiting for justice. Thank you. Veda, TX
Dear
Veda......God never seeks revenge because God cannot be damaged.
Justice
is an interesting word which allows us to "justify" revenge.
Justice
is our human system for getting back, getting "even," or protecting
ourselves
from our next imagined hurt.
All
hurt is imagined (as is, for that matter, all of physical life).
When
we imagine ourselves to have been hurt, we often also imagine that we
have
to "undo" the hurt by making someone "pay for it." Or, at the very
least,
we decide we have to protect ourselves from being "hurt" again.
This
thought system is at the root of all that we would call
"justice."
It is an insane thought system in that it rests its case upon a truth
which
is not a truth, but a lie: the idea that we can be hurt or damaged at all.
One
of the great teachings of the Jesus experience was that not even
death
can overcome us; that we are all Sons of God. This is a teaching which
has
been missed by all but a tiny handful of Masters who now walk the
planet.
For
those people who continue to believe in a paradigm which suggests
that
we are not all powerful, immortal beings, it might be well to notice
that
the Universe has its own system for achieving Balance in all things,
and
that system is called Cause and Effect, or Natural Outcome. There are
natural
outcomes to every thought, word or action...and these natural
outcomes
are often "punishment" enough, if punishment is indeed what
"justice"
requires.
No
one who is embodied in God -- that is, living and walking in
Godliness
-- has the slightest need for what you would call "justice."
Justice
is, essentially, wanting something "bad" to happen to another
because
something "bad" has happened to us. God knows that nothing
"bad"
can happen to God, and therefore God needs nothing "bad" to ever happen
to
another!
It
is all really quite simple. And, I admit, quite "elevated." Yet it
is
this level of thinking and experiencing to which God continually
invites
us.
God
discusses much more about justice in The New Revelations in the
area
on the 3 Basic Life Principles. You may find that information helpful
in
your study, Veda.
Blessings,
Neale
I think
it's very godly to acknowledge that it's okay to make a
mistake.
We have all made them - and since we are all a part of God, then it can
be
fairly argued that God makes mistakes.
We
cannot say that we are One with God with one breath, and deny that
God
makes mistakes with the other. If God were infallible, and if we are
indeed
One with God, then it would stand to reason that we would be
infallible.
Yet
we clearly are not. Therefore, either we are NOT One with God, or
the
God with which we are One makes "mistakes."
Now
the quibble here will be with the definition of the word
"mistake."
In human terms, a "mistake" is when we do something we did not mean to
do,
or
when we do something we absolutely meant to do, but it produces a
different
outcome from the one we hoped for or intended. That is a "mistake."
Since
God has no preference in the matter of how our lives turn out,
or
how they are experienced moment-to-moment, it would be difficult, in
Godly
terms, to speak of something as being a "mistake." So, in that context,
God
has never made a mistake, and is, indeed, incapable of making one.
Yet
the part of God which is us has, apparently, a great many
preferences.
And to the degree that we have preferences, to that degree we create
the
possibility of "making mistakes."
To
put this in simple terms, you can't make a wrong turn if you have
no
preference as to where you're going.
Will
you help us share the messages of Conversations with God? We are
hoping
to get the word out about CwG to wider and wider audiences. You
can
play your part by passing this bulletin on to two other people! There's
good
stuff from which everyone can benefit.
If
you would like to connect with us with any comment, question, or
sharing,
please write to TheBulletinGroup@cwg.info
If
someone passed this on to you and you would like to subscribe to
the
CwG Weekly Bulletin yourself, just drop a note to list@cwg.org and
insert
the word "list" in the subject line.
See you next week!
Hugs...Neale
