Quotes from Neale Donald Walsch

On the other hand, your will is My Will. First, because I know it. Second, because I accept it. Third, because I praise it. Fourth, because I love it. Fifth, because I own it and call it My Own. This means you have free will to do as you wish—and that I make your will Mine, through unconditional love.

You will not grow through guilt, but only shrivel and die. Awareness is what you seek. But awareness is not guilt, and love is not fear. Fear and guilt, I say again, are your only enemies. Love and awareness are your true friends. Yet do not confuse the one with the other, for one will kill you, while the other gives you life.

And, obviously, not with ideas of control or power or domination, for these have nothing to do with Love. But…may sex be used for purposes of simple personal gratification? The surprising answer is yes—because "personal gratification" is just another word for Self Love.

You are told you are not to use for personal gratification something which is intensely personally gratifying! This obvious contradiction is apparent to you, but you don't know where to go with the conclusion! So you decide that if you feel guilty about how good you feel during and after sex, that will at least make it all right.

Seek only to be genuine. Strive to be sincere. If you wish to undo all the "damage" you imagine yourself to have done, demonstrate that in your actions.

The implication is clear. If it's something you love doing, you should not also be rewarded additionally with money. Most people earn money by doing something they hate—or something that is at least hard work, not endless joy! So the world's message is: If you feel negatively about it, then you can enjoy it!

Even a thought that says I don't want something? If you don't want it, why think about it? Don't give it a second thought. Yet if you must think about it—that is, if you cannot not think about it—then do not resist. Rather, look at whatever it is directly—accept the reality as your creation—then choose to keep it or not, as you wish.

No longer will you worship human love, or success, money, or power, nor any symbol thereof. You will set aside these things as a child sets aside toys. Not because they are unworthy, but because you have outgrown them.

Escolhas o caminho que escolheres, não podes deixar de chegar a Casa.

There is no coincidence in the universe—only a grand design; an incredible "snowflake.

In the largest sense, all the "bad" things that happen are of your choosing. The mistake is not in choosing them, but in calling them bad.

A true understanding of time allows you to live much more peacefully within your reality of relativity, where time is experienced as a movement, a flow, rather than a constant. It is you who are moving, not time. Time has no movement. There is only One Moment. At

The Highest Thought is always that thought which contains joy. The Clearest Words are those words which contain truth.

You will not defile the purity of love with dishonesty or deceit, for this is adulterous. I promise you, when you have found God, you shall not commit this adultery.

Opportunity, not obligation, is the cornerstone of religion, the basis of all spirituality. So long as you see it the other way around, you will have missed the point.

There are those who say that to know God you must overcome all earthly passions. Yet to understand and accept them is enough. What you resist persists. What you look at disappears.

The voice within is the loudest voice with which I speak, because it is the closest to you. It is the voice which tells you whether everything else is true or false, right or wrong, good or bad as you have defined it. It is the radar that sets the course, steers the ship, guides the journey if you but let it.

Nothing has any meaning save the meaning you give it.

Judge not, then, the karmic path walked by another. Envy not success, nor pity failure, for you know not what is success or failure in the soul's reckoning. Call not a thing calamity, nor joyous event, until you decide, or witness, how it is used. For is a death a calamity if it saves the lives of thousands? And is a life a joyous event if it has caused nothing but grief? Yet even this you should not judge, but keep always your own counsel, and allow others theirs.

To live your life without expectation—without the need for specific results—that is freedom. That is Godliness. That is how I live.

Governments understand that help is power. That is why governments offer as much help to as many people as they can get away with—for the more people government helps, the more people help the government. Whom the government supports, supports the government.

If you do not go within, you go without.

There is only one reason to do anything: as a statement to the universe of Who You Are.

And so the species is announcing, "We evolve by the principle of…well, evolution." But they never say what that principle IS, because they have confused the process and the principle. The species, on the other hand, which has become clear that evolution is a process—but a process over which the species has control—has not confused "process" with "principle," but consciously chooses a principle which it uses to guide and direct its process.
