So I want to tell you to doubt as well. (I’m sure I don’t have to encourage this.) I want you to be clear that one of the most important messages of the Conversations with God dialogues is not to believe them.
“Believe nothing I say. Simply live it. Experience it. Then live whatever other paradigm you want to construct. Afterward, look to your experience to find your truth.”
That said, I became very clear on what is true for me when I read the recommendations and the suggestions on how I might live my own life found in the CWG dialogue, and I couldn’t help but think: “I wish someone had told me these things fifty years ago. I can’t imagine a better way to live.”
Yet I am very much aware that not everyone will agree. Not everyone will resonate with what has been written here. Some may consider it bizarre and outlandish; others will say it is far worse than that, labeling it blasphemous and heretical. I want you to know that I sincerely respect and honor their point of view—and all points of view sincerely arrived at, honestly held, and expressed without violence.
This is a powerful subject we are talking about here, and it is good to proceed with care. All of it is wrapped up in our relationship with The Divine—indeed, in the question of whether there even is a “God.” And that is not a small matter.
Our understanding of all of this is significant because most human beings need and seek and sooner or later deeply yearn to find some kind of meaning in life. Without that meaning, without some purpose for it all, many of us soon find ourselves simply trudging along with that heaviness of heart I spoke of earlier.
