1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: And welcome back to Coast to Coast George Nori with

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 2: Neil Donald Waltsh will take calls with Neil next hour.

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 2: His latest book is called God Talk, which we'll get

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: into in a second. So, Neil, you start writing to

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 2: God without really any idea that it's going to be

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: turned into a book, right, never.

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 3: Thought about anything like that, George. I'm just sitting there

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 3: in my little little flat, little two room flat, writing

10
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: a very angry letter, just trying to get out my feelings.

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 3: So I'm writing, understablet what does it take to make

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 3: life work? Now? What have I done to deserve a

13
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 3: life of such continuing struggle? And finally, George, I'm writing,

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 3: tell me the rules. I mean, just give me the rules.

15
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 3: I'll play this silly game called life. Just tell me

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: the rules. I don't know what's going on here? What

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 3: do I have to do to make life work? And then, George,

18
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: I heard a voice over my right shoulder. I would

19
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: have sworn someone was in the room behind me. Neil,

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: do you really want answers to all of these questions?

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 3: Or are you just venting? And I whipped around. Of

22
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 3: course there's nobody there. Now I'm thinking, oh, great, terrific.

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 3: Not only have I lost everything, now I'm losing my mind.

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 3: But the voice continued, you know, Neil, you know would

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 3: give me an answer. What are you looking for here?

26
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 3: And I said, you know, if you've got some answers,

27
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: I am sure as hell. I like to know what

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: they are. I don't know who I'm talking to. I'm

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: sitting here thinking I'm talking to myself. But then the

30
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: voice again came back as a voice in my mind.

31
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 3: It's all in my head going on. And the voice said,

32
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: you are sure as hell about a lot of things, Neil,

33
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: But wouldn't you rather be sure as heaven? What's that

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 3: supposed to mean? Now I'm writing on the yellow legal pad,

35
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: and the voice says, to me, let me answer your questions.

36
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: And I'm starting to get answers to all the questions

37
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: I had asked, and to questions that I didn't even

38
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: know existed.

39
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: And they were good answers too, weren't they.

40
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: Well, they were good enough for me. I can't speak

41
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: for anybody else, but they were good enough up for me.

42
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: And then somewhere along the way, I was told you

43
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: will make of this a book one day, and you

44
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: will cause it to be accessed by many people. And

45
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: I'm sitting there thinking, yeah, yeah, right of course, Now

46
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: I got you. This is what I'm thinking to myself.

47
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: Now I got because you gotta know, I it's the

48
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: middle of the night, and I'm thinking, I'm making this

49
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: all this up. You know, I'm imagining it. It's just

50
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: my imagination playing tricks on me. So I thought, if

51
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: you think whatever this voice is, it's talking to me

52
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: that this is going to become a book, think again.

53
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: There's not a publisher in the country that's going to write,

54
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: that's going to publish a book by guy who says

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: he's talking to God. I mean, can you imagine the

56
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: publisher going out to the workroom floor saying to his editors,

57
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: hold everything, stop the presence. I got a guy here

58
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: who's talking to God. It's not going to and he's.

59
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: Got it on a yellow legal paper.

60
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: It's not going to happen. Nobody's But you know what,

61
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: as a dare, I simply was daring God. I took

62
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: my handwritten notes that I had gathered up to that point,

63
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: and I sent it off to a small publisher on

64
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 3: the East coast of the United States. You know what.

65
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: A week later they called me and they said, we

66
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: want to publish this. This is fascinating stuff, that's amazing.

67
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 3: Answers you're getting are incredible. I don't know where you're

68
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: getting them from, but these are incredible answers to questions

69
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: that all of us are asking about God, about life,

70
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 3: about health, about children, about parenting, about right livelihood, about

71
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: how to make your life work, about relationships, about sex,

72
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: about everything. You've asked all the questions we're all asking,

73
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: and the answers you're getting are incredible. I said, you

74
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: really are going to publish this? They said absolutely. So

75
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: I thought to myself, you know, it's not going to

76
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: sell five hundred copies. Nobody's going to buy a book

77
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: by a guy who claims to be talking directly to

78
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: God and getting answers from God. And I was right.

79
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: It didn't sell five hundred copies. You were right and

80
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: sold five million.

81
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly. Now you're into your fortieth book. God talked,

82
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: tell me about this one.

83
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: You know, most people write, Most writers, whatever their topic,

84
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: write a book and then they look for a publisher.

85
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: And that's how it's been with me for the first

86
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 3: thirty nine books. But about a year ago my phone

87
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: rang and for the first time in my life, a

88
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 3: publisher called me and they say, hey, you know, mister Walsh,

89
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: would you'd be willing to write a book that answers

90
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: the question can everybody have a conversation with God? And

91
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 3: if there's a way that they could do it? Can

92
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: you think of how you could explain that to people,

93
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: how they could all have the same experience that you've had.

94
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: I said, you know, fair question, good question. Yes, I'd

95
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: be happy to write a book like that if you

96
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 3: want to publish it. So I wrote that book, in

97
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: which I included step by step instructions on how a person,

98
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: at least how I think a person could possibly have

99
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: the experience that I had, that they could access the

100
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: divine and have their own conversation with God. Decided to

101
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 3: call the book God Talk. And then the publisher did

102
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: something very interesting. They put a call out on the

103
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: internet George, and they asked people all over the internet,

104
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 3: if you feel that you also have had a conversation

105
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: with God, or at least that your life has been

106
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 3: touched directly by the divine, what we call divine intervention,

107
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: send us your story, and they told me later that

108
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: hundreds of people said stories like that. They picked out

109
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: the seven or eight best stories and put them in

110
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: the book as part two of the book. So part

111
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: one of the books is my story and how I

112
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: got to have the experience that I've described to you

113
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 3: in of course described in the book in much greater detail.

114
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: And the second part of the book is the stories

115
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: of these seven or eight people who've had their own

116
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: experience of divine intervention. Makes for fascinating reading because these

117
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: are real people from mid America, from Nebraska, Oklahoma, all

118
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: over the place talking about their experience of divine intervention.

119
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: A mother whose answers came through a vision of her child,

120
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: a woman who was reassured about her health conditions, all

121
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 3: sorts of experiences of people throughout the country, and a

122
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 3: couple from elsewhere in the world. So we decided to

123
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 3: call the book God Talk, and it contains a six

124
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: step process that I hope will give people an opportunity

125
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: to have their own direct connection with the Divine George.

126
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: Let me just add one thing really quickly. Most people say,

127
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: of course, we can all talk to God. I mean,

128
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: by the way, eight out of ten people in the

129
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: world believe that there is some kind of higher power.

130
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: Sociologists have taken surveys in the past ten years asking

131
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: a single question all over the world, do you believe

132
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 3: in a higher power? And eighty five percent of the

133
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: respondent said, yeah, there's some kind of higher powers. There's

134
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: more going on here that meets the eye. So there's

135
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 3: something larger than we know about specifically, we call it God,

136
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: call it whatever you want, but yes, there's more going

137
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: on here. We can't agree exactly what it is and

138
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 3: what's really going on. So the real question is what

139
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 3: is happening, what is that all about? And how can

140
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 3: we make a direct connection with it. So with everybody,

141
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: or at least a large number of people, eighty five

142
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: percent of the people say there is some kind of

143
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: higher power. The question comes, can we have a communication

144
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 3: with that higher power? I mean a two way communication.

145
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: Everyone agrees that we can pray to God if we

146
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: think there is some kind of higher power, and most

147
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: people had at least once in their life called out,

148
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: oh God, help me, what's going on? What's going on?

149
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: So we can pray to God. But here's what's interesting.

150
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: The world's religions tell us that God will not talk

151
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: directly to you. In fact, most of the world's religions,

152
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 3: of which there are today two hundred and thirty six

153
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 3: known religions on the face of the earth this date,

154
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 3: not since history began, but on this day of our life,

155
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 3: over four thousand religions being practiced, and those religions teach

156
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 3: us God doesn't talk directly to you. You can talk

157
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: to God if you want to. Of course, people we

158
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: encourage you to pray to God, but don't go around

159
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: saying that God spoke directly to you, because that's blasphemy,

160
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: that's heresy, that's apostasy. So you're accused of of a sin,

161
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: really of an ecclesiastical sin if you declare that God

162
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: is talking directly to you. And they put people who

163
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: say that away on the seventh floor of the hospital

164
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: in the psychiatric ward.

165
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: That's right.

166
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: He thinks that God's talking to him.

167
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: I used to ask. I used to ask my mother

168
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: when I was younger, what is God? How did God

169
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 2: come about? And she's still with us, she's ninety four.

170
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: God lover, and she said to me, I'll never forget it.

171
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: God always was and always will be, And I kept

172
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: telling her, I said, Mom, that's not an answer for me,

173
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: and she kept saying, the same thing, always was, always

174
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: will be. And that's her answer to this day, Neil, boy.

175
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: What clarity could and ask for a more clear cut answer? Actually,

176
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 3: to try to define what God is is pointless because

177
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 3: there's nothing that God is not. The first message George

178
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 3: that I got in my very first conversation with God,

179
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: she said, Neil, all things are one thing. There is

180
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: only one thing, and all things are part of the

181
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 3: one thing there is. And I'm answering. I said, well,

182
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: that means that I'm part of you. Are you saying

183
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: that God and me are? God and I are one?

184
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: And the answer I got was exactly, that's exactly right,

185
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: God and you are one. Well, do I dare say

186
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: that publicly? Do I dare? Do I dare tell people

187
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: that God told me this? But you know, somehow or

188
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 3: another I got away with it. I mean, I put

189
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: it in the book just the way I received it.

190
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: There's no editing in the book. The book is an

191
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 3: unedited transcript. It's just simply a dialogue between me and

192
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: my understanding of the divine in which I was told

193
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: basically in a few more words than your mother was told.

194
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 3: There's only one thing. I always am, always will be,

195
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: and always have been, and there's no time that I

196
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: will not. And that the same, by the way, George,

197
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: is true about us that God said to me, The

198
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: same is true about you, Neil. You always were, are

199
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: now and always will be. That is who you really are.

200
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 3: You're not your body. You are a spiritual entity called

201
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: a soul. And the soul that you are has been

202
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: with me from the beginning, is with me now and

203
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 3: will be with me forever and ever, and yes even forevermore.

204
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 2: You mentioned these six steps and very quickly buzzed through

205
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: them for.

206
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: Us, Neil.

207
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: Possibility, worthiness, willingness, wakefulness, acceptance, and discernment. I'd love to

208
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: describe those in greater detail one day when we have time.

209
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: But we have to agree that it's possible that a

210
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: God exists and that we can talk to God. We

211
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 3: have to agree that we are worthy to receive such communication.

212
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: We don't have to be the pope or the Archbishop

213
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: of Canadon, or the chief ulama or the head rabbi.

214
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 3: We have to go to step three, willingness. We have

215
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: to be willing to receive it. Even though religions tell

216
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: us it's blasphemy. We have to be wakeful. We have

217
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 3: to go to step four. Wakefulness, that is, we have

218
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: to look all around us because God's talking to us

219
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: in a million different ways, across a thousand moments in

220
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: every lifetime. Then we go to step five acceptance, that is,

221
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: we don't reject what we're hearing. Ah, it's just my imagination,

222
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 3: or it's just a coincidence. No, no, no, no such

223
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: thing as a coincidence. When you get the wisdom from

224
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 3: the divine, you will know that that's what it is.

225
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 3: And so step five is acceptance, and finally steps step

226
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: six is discernment, not to call, not to fall into

227
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 3: the trap of calling everything a conversation with God. That know,

228
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: whatever happens in life, we say it's a sign. I

229
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: reached it into my pocket to get my car keys

230
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: and a ten dollar bill fell out, So now I

231
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 3: have to throw all my money on the ground because

232
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 3: it's a sign. So we have to have some discernment.

233
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: Those are the six steps I talk about, and I

234
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 3: describe them in great detail in the book God Talk Fantastic.

235
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: It's an amazing thing. What do you do when an

236
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 2: atheist comes up to you and says, I don't.

237
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: Believe I save good for you. You don't have to believe.

238
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 3: I don't need you to believe. I don't need you

239
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 3: to do anything, least of all believe anything that I

240
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: have to say. So if not believing serves you, by golly,

241
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: step in that direction and always do what serves you,

242
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: Because if there is a God, that's exactly what she wants.

243
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: He doesn't want anything else. He wants you to serve

244
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: yourself and to serve those whose lives you touch in

245
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 3: a positive, compassionate, generous, caring and sensitive way. Do that,

246
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 3: and your life will work, whether you believe in me

247
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 3: or not. The beauty of God. I wrote a book

248
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: called Tomorrow's God, and in Tomorrow's God, God tells us

249
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: I don't need you to believe in me. In fact,

250
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: I don't need you to worship me. I don't need

251
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 3: you to love me. I don't need anything from you. You.

252
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 3: My desire is to give everything to you. But I

253
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 3: need nothing from you any more than you need anything

254
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 3: from a sixteen month old child. You don't need the

255
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 3: child to do something, or to say something, or to

256
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: worship you. You don't need those things, because you're very

257
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 3: clear that you are not in a position of need

258
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 3: with regard to that child. So you are my children,

259
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 3: God said, you are my children, and I need nothing

260
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: from you. But my great desire is to give you

261
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 3: the power and the understanding, the awareness, and the consciousness

262
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 3: to step into your true self, your true identity, which

263
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: is as an individuation of divinity. You are a part

264
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: of me. Act that way and life will change for

265
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: you forever, as will life on your planet once you

266
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 3: reach critical mass in the number of people who decide

267
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 3: to respond to this impulse in that positive way.

268
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: Neil is prayer of vehicle to get to God.

269
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Prayer's a wonderful vehicle. It's the beginning of a conversation,

270
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 3: like any other conversation we have. Conversations start with one

271
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 3: person opening up to another and asking a question, or

272
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: exploring a topic in some way, or even sharing an opinion. So, yes,

273
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 3: prayer is a very very powerful device. But we have

274
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: to be open to the fact that when we pray,

275
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: we may receive a direct answer. But God's answers are

276
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: not always simply in words. They come to us in feelings,

277
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 3: they come to us in images, in visions, in understandings,

278
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 3: you know, frankly, even in smells, I mean fragrances. I'm

279
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: walking through a department store a few years ago and

280
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 3: I'm suddenly smelling Guardina, and I'm thinking immediately of my

281
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 3: mother because that was her signature, fragrance. And I'm thinking,

282
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: my god, I got to call them Mom. I haven't

283
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: called Mom, and in months, I got to pay more

284
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: attention to that. I went home and I picked up

285
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 3: the phone and called her immediately. Thank goodness I did, George,

286
00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 3: because shortly thereafter she was no longer with us. Now

287
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 3: you tell me that just walking through a department store

288
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: is smelling Guardinia, my mother's signature fragrance, to do, I mean.

289
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: Come on, it's not luck, that's for sure.

290
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: No. And everyone has stories like that that come from

291
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: their own life. I have never met a person who

292
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 3: can't tell you a story similar to that. So pay attention.

293
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 3: We're all having conversations with God all the time. We're

294
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 3: simply calling them something else, women's intuition, a psychic hit

295
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 3: and epiphany, whatever we can get away with. Because if

296
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: we dare say God spoke to me directly, yeah, people

297
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: will look at us askance. But you know I've gone

298
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 3: past that. I'm just telling people directly, Yes, you bet.

299
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: I'm having conversations with God. And the first thing that

300
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: I ask God in that conversation, my first serious question,

301
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: why me? Why would you choose me? And the answer

302
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: I got, Neil, sweetheart, I'm talking to everybody all the time.

303
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: The question is not to whom talking, The question is

304
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 3: who's listening.
