I am amazed, simply amazed, that these interviews aren’t shown and taught to everyone. I asked myself all of these questions as a child. Argued with priests about why God punishes us for eternity if he loves us so much. Never got a straight answer. As a father, I could NEVER banish my child to a place where I would be separated from him forever no matter what he did. Religious teachings don’t make SENSE TO MY SOUL. Conversations with God does. It awakened me for sure. I’m 59 and just started figuring it out. What a relief. Just so you know, my life has improved 10 fold. I was a hard one. Decades of being placed in front of the same lessons over and over. I can’t explain the relief I felt when I realized who I am. EVERYTHING has changed for the better. I know you too will find your souls purpose. Embrace it.

[@jonathanyakubu1025]

I share the same thought and feelings lately. What a relief

[@piperpan5516]

Yes there are a lot of people for whom the teachings of the bible and the interpretations of Christian theology don’t make complete sense. The wisdom has been oriented so heavily to being a follower of Jesus for salvation and the notion of a heaven or hell after ones life that it creates a cult like culture of belief instead of an enlightened spirituality and an open invitation to connect more directly with god and belonging through community. It’s not very mature spiritual thinking, and though that is acceptable for many, it simply won’t make sense to many peoples souls, as you say. People who would be open to a better relationship with god but who feel that some of the portrayals of belief are…how can I put it, a bit exclusive, like a belief club, in which Jesus the teacher and healer has and is used for this purpose, that being an exclusive spiritual invitation to salvation. That kind of heavy fundamental interpretation has unfortunately damaged a lot of people psychologically in all sorts of ways. It’s damaged many good peoples relationship to the message and teachings, as you have experienced.

[@joecascio2073]

I did find something about a Christmas story written by Ms. Chan. Nothing about the book conversations with GOD. I get your point. Like I said earlier, who knows the truth. We’ll find out one day so I’m not going to sweat it. Another thing, if we hold Walsh to that strict standard, the country should have NEVER VOTED BIDEN in office. He’s done that same thing for decades. If I fell for Walsh’s book I don’t feel so stupid anymore because 81M other people voted for another guy that plagiarized everything.

[@mikaela353]

When I was guided to his books a few weeks ago, I said without thinking "it is really you!" I recognized God in my heart. Not only that but many things in the book I already knew and were a confirmation for me. When I was little I used to speak with God, but then I disconnected. This book has helped me connect with God again and now I can hear better.

🤴 King Walsch I’m so blessed that I found you. So extremely grateful that I found, another spot on in most cases 🙏🏾

[@bewusstsein3527]

Walsch does not know who is actuall talking to him... he mises something more important.. he still has his distorted belief on god thats he misses who is actually talking to him.. i reall love the conversation minus walsch delusion on god as he believe what god is.. but still glad he share their conversation

[@davidsarif2481]

I commented on another video with Neal and I have to comment the same thing here: They way he switches from "he" to "she" (god) in a middle of a sentence is amazing.

[@balloonbanger]

Why is that so amazing? God is obviously both and neither. We have no word for that.

[@davidsarif2481]

Balloon Banger I find it amazing because religious people still consider god a male, which is obviously not god-like attribute, to have a gender.

[@kindlependergrass8480]

It is one in the same, yet it is neither... nor.

[@12Moun]

I said the said thing as I’m listening to him saying it!

[@maxitampaxi]

Nothing amazing about this. God himself in the bible refers to himself as the Father. He is referred to as the father (Abba) by the Jews. No Jew or Biblical Theologian has referred to God as a "She" it would be strange in Hebrew and it is nowhere in the scriptures. What he is doing here is mottling the image of God. Just a bunch of garbage from the pit. He doesn't know the real God. He claims he talks to God and the voice moved inside of him. Sounds more like he is possessed. He is trying to make people question the bible. The word of God is the Devine inspired word of God. Also when a man denies the existence of Hell its a dead giveaway he's lost himself and knows not the truth of the Bible. Which by the way Jesus Christ taught there is a real place where the soul suffers horribly. I would strongly suggest you not read his books and stay away from his content, you want to know truth. Pray and ask God to send the holy spirt to you before you read the bible and reveal you the truth that is written there. The truth is all about his son Jesus Christ, who has come to this earth to free us from sin and in him we have truth and everlasting life. Amen.

[@christina9265]

[@elidas1008]

I have had a very similar experience. I wrote one page. It was purely about questions I had myself about myself. The voice already was there I'm just not so good at listening to it too well. All I'm saying is that this is real and can happen to all of us. In fact I've been taught how to make this connection and have passed this info on to others. It's a form of meditation were you try to first bring yourself in balance. Later you can ask questions about yourself or the world. Here are the steps. Hope it helps. 1. Sit, preferabbly on the ground, open your hands and rest them palm upwars on your knees. 2. Close your eyes 3. place your right hand on your heart left hand stays on the lap. and ask yourself "who am I?", "why am I here?" 4. Tell yourself "I am the spirit" 5. place your hand on the top of your head and tell yourself "please God, give me the state of meditation, please give me my self realisation and connect me with the universe". 6. You can place your right hand back, if a thought comes you can say "not this thought" or "not now" or forgive the thought and let it pass by. I hope it helps. If you wish more info I am most happy to answer your questions.

[@teresafraser3049]

I too have been raised Roman Catholic but never resonated with the religious dogma, fearful tactics that was being taught. The Creator/God that I felt omni present within my heart is the God within. We have been created by this prime source therefore we are all one and the same🙏 We are all God having a human experience which offers us duality in order for us to feel what it's like to be separate and now with Neales teachings of TRUTH is the journey back to remembering who we really are💞

[@justogonzalez5070]

I feel this man speaks the truth and he's been really brave for sharing his experience knowing the possible consequences for doing it.

[@MarkTitus420]

Once you put the idea and traditional belief of the fairytale God; the old man in the sky we Christians were brought up to believe, it makes complete sense what this is what Neale's talking about. God is a form of pure energy that's eternal and cannot be destroyed that lives in every single molecules in this universe. God IS our consciousness and our consciousness IS God..

[@tarikomar8598]

This was absolutely amazing-I’m impressed indeed, thank you so very much for this video✌️✌️✌️

[@skymoon4029]

I listen to his audio books most nights. I believe he is telling the truth and he has had the experience he is written about. The content of his book makes perfect sense. I wish I would have met this great man face to face and learn from his wisdom. I wish he was my teacher. 🎉

[@earlstewart5143]

I once attended a church service in Spanish but with a translator in one ear and it was amazing to hear that from two different perspectives at the same time.

[@millacolic]

I read his bio on the internet. It references the name of his present wife, and the names of his parents. There is no mention of his first wife’s name, who he says divorced him, but was “kind enough” to give him a tent while he was living homeless, freezing on the streets. Nor does it reference the names of his children, who he says couldn’t see and spend time with because he had no home to bring them because he was homeless. Nor does it tell us what his profession was before he became homeless and all the rest before he transformed and became a famous writer. I am wondering how much he fabricated his life story to help gain recognition. Something smells fishy about his personal life despite the fact that he has written all these acclaimed books. Normally, his personal life should not matter to the reader but the fact that he goes on talk shows telling a story about his struggles with homelessness , for a year, but there is no trace reflecting any of this in his bio, then it makes me wonder where is the truth here.

I am so thankful for Conversations with God. I was so proud with Neale plainly saying he was God and not being scared to say it. Oh that we all grow some balls to be truthful with who we are. God help us to not just proclaim who we are but to live every moment like the beings we truly are.

[@mipeach5982]

I don't agree with the statement that he's God. That's like our parents who created us are our parents and we are their children no matter how old we are. We never told our parents that we are also the parents. We are created with God's energy by God, we are not God. Unless I interpret him incorrectly.

[@leolok2632]

[@happierabroad]

The audiobooks of CWG are much better. The narrators in them have soothing and comforting voices that are very pleasant to listen to. IMPORTANT: Keep in mind everyone, when reading CWG do not label each teaching as True or False. Just ask yourself if the world would be better if everyone believed in its teachings, and the answer is a definite YES! Also keep in mind that just because some of it doesn't fit your beliefs doesn't mean it's false. And just because some of it sounds like New Age claptrap doesn't mean that it is untrue. It could be that your beliefs are wrong or not comprehensive enough. If you ponder or reflect on its teachings, often you will realize that the teachings you thought were wrong have some truth in them after all, if not mostly true then semi-true at least. Regardless, there are a ton of gems and golden nuggets of wisdom and truth in CWG. So don't dismiss it all just because you disagree with some of it. I don't claim all of it is correct or that I agree with all of is, but much of it probably is true in some sense. Btw, there are 7 books in the series now, not just 3.

[@jucoombs]

Brilliant !!!!!. Neale doesn't even skip a beat when he mentions in the interview 7:22 .. Quotes: Because they have Denied themselves and I tell you if we are all not careful we will all deny ourselves 3 times before the cock crows .. Mathew 26 69-75.. And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly. Self-pleasing ends in destruction. Self-denial as the physical nature of man and self-sacrifice are the divine path to life.

There are a lot of people for whom the teachings of the bible and the interpretations of Christian theology don’t make complete sense. The wisdom has been oriented so heavily to being a follower of Jesus for salvation and the notion of a heaven or hell after ones life that it creates a cult like culture of belief instead of an enlightened spirituality and an open invitation to connect more directly with god and belonging through community. It’s not very mature spiritual thinking, and though that is acceptable for many, it simply won’t make sense to many peoples souls so to speak, it won't sing in one's feelings and inspire one's mind unless one is really into a messianic notion and relationship to Jesus. People are deterred who may otherwise be open to a better relationship with god but who feel that some of the portrayals of belief are…how can I put it, a bit exclusive, like a belief club, in which Jesus the teacher and healer is used for this purpose, that being, an exclusive spiritual invitation to salvation. Meeting different people I've observed, that this kind of heavy fundamental interpretation has unfortunately damaged a lot of people psychologically in all sorts of ways.
