SCOTT WARE: I’m on chapter 12 of The Essential Path called “The Misunderstanding.” I can already see this is a key part of the book. What is the misunderstanding we have about life?
Does it seem to you that the world that you’re looking at
question that exists on many levels. I don’t think that
Imagine what else we could do.
NEALE DONALD WALSCH: Well, you know, it’s a huge
most people understand even who they are, why they’re here: “What is the purpose of all of life?”
There are four fundamental questions that I wound
up confronting in a very powerful way in my Conversations with God experience: Who am I? Where am I, in the overall universe? Why am I where I am? And what do I intend to do with that?
And there’s no wrong an-
swer to those questions, and they may change from year
to year, or from hour to hour…
from day to day. But the ques-
tions are incisive. I try to ask my-
self those questions each morning
when I look at myself in the mirror for
ed by a whole large number of individuals acting together as if they were one and producing singular outcomes?
I have a question from someone on Facebook. They want to know how God’s doing? They should ask. They just call it something else: wom-

any; a sudden insight. They’re giving it
all sorts of other names. But everyone not only can talk to God, the way I
speak with God, but everyone is
doing it all the time, and they’re
just calling it something else because we live in a culture where
it’s not okay to say I’m talking
directly to God.
And I’m not talking about speak-
ing to an entity outside of myself, up
there in the clouds somewhere; we’re
talking about getting in touch with an
aspect of ourselves. That is that and simply
calling it forth, calling forth the wisdom and the
clarity and the understanding and the compassion, the patience to kindness, and if you please the love that exists within us, that is, in fact, who we really are.
One of my favorite parts of your CWG books is where God outlined an amazing school curriculum. In all the time I was in school, I couldn’t find a single class on fairness. Or compassion, patience, or under-
standing or unity, or divinity, or peace. Why we are not
