What God Would Say
Imagine this. God comes down to Earth for one minute - one blessed 60-second moment - and announces to the world the solution to all of its problems and the way for every soul to experience heaven-on-earth and eternal salvation....

If it goes about God, what is there to be asked?
This can be of some help:

Can you broadcast this (excellent piece of work) on television and place in all newspapers around the world. Because everyone needs to here it. (God Bless You) Queen
When I do as you have stated here, (something that comes naturally to me), I seem to get myself in trouble. My child at times feel embarrassment from my ability to tell and request the truth of those who are in control of our lives? My mother always said "just shut your mouth", however I cannot. I'm fighting a dilema presently with my children's school district and will be confronting them in two weeks. I'm frightened to say the least. When "women" open up or stand up to control groups consisting of primarily men, their first incentive seems to tell those who might listen that one is crazy, or psychotic. If I do not speak up however, the wrong will only continue through another year and the hurt of others thus continue as well. Is there a right way wrong way to tell the truth?
When I read, "what do you suppose that sentence would be?" ... what came straight into my thoughts, was "to engage". Not in any kind of oppositional way, meaning to counteract someone else's contribution with my own, but of being encouraged to enter into being present with God, being in alignment with our one mind in that moment, so that a joint response can come forth - of 'what is' and 'thought' in tandem.
There is a bit in the CwG series, which I've always loved, which goes something along the lines of 'I can't share with you my truth, until you decide to let go of your own'. Becoming empty... so that God can speak to us and through us. Perhaps this is the ingredient that brings people closer together, or into harmony, when a truth is spoken, rather than our own individual endeavours to interpret a communication falling short and just serving to contribute to yet another situation of conflict?
I had never thought of 'engage' as being another word for presence or communion until now... it feels almost as if it is a hybrid, containing both active and passive elements (listening and responding combined)? Anyway, I guess it is a fine example of how one truth shared, can inspire another into theirs.
Wow, That's Awesome. To let go all of the indoctrination of Secrecy even secrecy hidden under the guise of Privacy.. Wow..
I can be brutally honest with myself, but to someone else about me is a challenge, unless I'm really close to them, I think, I'm still a little tied to much to my story, this is a growth area to me.
Neale, when are you and your folks going to make the CwG series into somekind of study guide or at least put it into a format to be easliy seached by concept. Im not suggesting yet another Holy book or Bible, But there is a Ton of WONDERFUL stuff in the CwF series, its hard to get ones arm arounded it sometimes.
just a thought
Peace and Love
Yes, level one is the most difficult. We build layers of self-deception so thick that it takes courage and hard work to peel them off and see the truth about ourselves. Ask any recovering alcoholic who has worked a fourth and a fifth step.
This whole topic just blows my mind! Kind of like when I try to imagine the size of the Universe with billions of stars within billions of galaxies . . . when I try to imagine unraveling our way of life built concrete-solidly on privacy and secrecy, and how many customs we take for granted would have to be undone . . . it's too much. I can't even imagine it.
But, then, what is the truth? Tell the TRUTH. The TRUTH. AAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!! I guess we first have to be able to admit the lies. Then admit what we DON'T KNOW. Now, THAT would be telling the truth.
Neale and readers, here's a bit of truth
I love this video. Nothing moves me as much as communities of people coming together to create joy.
check it out.

Oh my gosh, Erin, that was great!
Thanks so much.
I smiled for a couple minutes straight until I think my face got tired.
I loved the part where, after seemingly dozens of dance scenes in different countries and cities where he uses the same funny dance move (genius), for a brief moment he dances in sync with the women from India.
Don't know about truth, but that was definitely about joy.
Neale, it's hard to face the truth as God sees it. It takes full commitment to Him & in today's world it's hard to do so. You really don't want to hurt another person so we bend the truth a little. The government don't know what the truth is anymore. It's been so long since we had a politian that believed in what the country was founded on. They need to sit back & stop thinking about what they can get out of what they think is the truth of their place in this government; but think about their truth is doing to the people they're leading. I'll pray real hard to learn how to tell the truth to myself then I'll try to learn to tell the truth to others. Your blog has made me think about how to face & realize the truth in the eyes of God.
Thank You! ! ! After 20 years of drinking, institutions and all the wonderful things you can add to that delusion, I made the statement "My God, I need Help!" Well, I got it and have been sober for almost 20 years, on the truth! Or as much as I can handle at the time. There is nothing as cleansing as the truth about one's self! It is a life long process which I don't think I'll be able to grasp hold of until I exhale for the last time! I could go on for days and not even scratch the surface. The truth WILL set you free! HMMMMM!!!!!
God Bless You!
When I read, "what do you suppose that sentence would be?" ... what came straight into my thoughts, was "to engage".
LOL, I only thought of one word.
"Whatever."
Phyllis! So glad you enjoyed it. :)
Dear Linda Lyons-Bailey,
Thank you for referring to my post.
You used the abbreviation LOL, which I gather means 'laugh out loud', is that right? Would you care to share further about what it was in my truth being expressed, that caused you to laugh in response?
I am unsure if you are using the word 'whatever' in a derogatory fashion, and if this is the case, then perhaps it would be of benefit for you to question your motives for doing so, as in, why would you wish to belittle another person's truth in order to express your own?
Peace be with you.
What I know for sure is, the Holy Bible is and should be considered God's word no mater what.
Claire, I think Linda Lyons-Bailey was joking that while you thought of two whole words, she only thought of ONE WORD in answer to Neale's question of what would that sentence be (what God would say in his 60-seocond visit, describing his great solution to everything). And what came to her mind was "Whatever." She was laughing out loud about herself thinking of that one-word sentence. At least that is how I took it . . . me, ever the peacemaker.
Hi Phyllis, thank you for sharing your interpretation of Linda's comment. I have found that it can be challenging to decipher a communication, particularly if it contains an abbreviation or slang. My interpretation of 'whatever/whatev-ah' if it is used in response, is that which became popularized by the TV show Little Britain, when it was used as an expression of dismissiveness or apathy.
It would be helpful if Linda could clarify how she intended her communication for me.
Blessings.
God wouldn't say, "Love everyone," or "Believe in Me"???
Love encompasses truth.
If you love God, you will want to love your neighbor.
If you love your neighbor, you will tell them the truth.
I want to thank you too, Erin, for the link to that video. It was as heartwarming as the "Free Hugs" video, if you have seen that one.
To Mearle, I almost admire you, for being able to be so sure about what you believe in. That must be great!
And finally, to stop commenting the comments... I now have a goal. Or, the goal I have had for a long time has been strengthened. I completely agree that the truth, the whole truth, would if not be the ultimate solution, at least solve a lot of problems humans have with each other. However, I have to admit that I can't 'Be the change you want to see in the world' because I don't dare. Neale can triple-dare me if he wants, but I think it would take me a really long time to ever admit the truth, let alone tell it. It's frightening. I can understand anyone that would have a problem with any of those four 'steps', but how great wouldn't it be if everyone at least tried?
Thank you for the reminder.
I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who is having trouble posting to the sight directly....
When we die, the soul moves (spirit) moves
on to another life. But the will , body, and heart are stuck here. They do
not move at the same rate of speed as the spirit. So the spirit is off on
another level living an adventure and learning, but the other three parts of
myself are stuck here without this learning. So when the soul decides to
reincarnate and have another adventure it comes to earth with this amnesia.
The soul at least has some new knowledge, the other three parts do not. So
we keep reinventing the tire. Does not make sense to me. I caan even
understand that a lot of info has been given in other books, and may not
have to be repeated, but sometimes the connection between the two gets lost
without some co;nnecting link. Since we live here in this body, and it is
we that are feeling this intense life, I think our input to God should be
very important to the evolution of the soul.I like thye CWG books, but it is
almost like too mucch intellectual, and not enough connection to the
emotional to implement the knowledge. Make any sense.
I think God is blogging over at The "God's Politics" page at B'net. Sorry Neale, I couldn't resist :)
Sorry, I didn't come back here and see this.
I just thought it was funny that my first thought was "Whatever."
Sorry if it wasn't very clear.
--LLB.
