Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

I tell you this: The purpose of life is not to please God. The purpose of life is to know, and to recreate, Who You Are.

As you open yourself to living at your edge, your deepest purpose will slowly begin to make itself known. In the meantime, you will experience layer after layer of purposes, each one getting closer and closer to the fullness of your deepest purpose. It is as if your deepest purpose is at the center of your being, and it is surrounded by layers of concentric circles, each circle being a lesser purpose. Your life consists of penetrating each circle, from the outside toward the center.

At a point in every person's life, one has to look deeply into the mirror of one's soul and decide one's unique truth in the world, not as we may want to see it or hope to see it, but as it is.

Nothing exists without a purpose. Every experience you have in this lifetime was written for you to grow into the light you were meant to become.

Books simply help you to see what is already within your self. That's what enlightenment is all about.

You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your inner enlightenment.

The true purpose of yoga is to discover that aspect of your being that can never be lost.

The realization of our true substance and potential is the purpose of creation.

You may go on reading any number of books on Meditation. They can only tell you ‘Realize the Self’. The Self cannot be found in books. You have to find it for yourself in yourself.

The purpose of life is to know yourself, create yourself, experience yourself as Who You Really Are. There is no other reason to do anything.

I'm really clear about what my life mission is now. There's no more depression or lethargy, and I feel like I've returned to the athlete I once was. I'm integrating all the parts of me - jock, musician, writer, poet, philosopher - and becoming stronger as a result.

Learning how to operate a soul figures to take time.

There is an immense, painful longing for a broader, more flexible, fuller, more coherent, more comprehensive account of what we human beings are, who we are and what this life is for.

Begin within. If it shows up in your life, it's coming to tell you something about you that you're acting like you don't know. Something about yourself, or your relationship with God.

Unraveling external selves and coming home to our real identity is the true meaning of soul work.

Find out who you are and be that person. That's what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come.

There is no meaning to life except the meaning man gives his life by the unfolding of his powers.

You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.

Intelligent life on a planet comes of age when it first works out the reason for its own existence.

The world is set up - as foreign as that can be to some people who are very materialistic - but there is a force in this world, once we step into it, that opens doors for us, that gives us a sense of purpose and the greatest life there is, in my view.

Of this our true individual life, our present life is a glimpse, a fragment, a hint, and in its best moments a visible beginning.

People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.

But really it was just, it was perfect. You know, I actually got that feeling like you know what, maybe this is why I'm alive, you know - maybe this is why I'm here on this on earth.

There is no teacher, living or past, who can give us the actual understanding of Truth. A teacher can only put our feet upon the path and point the way. That is all. It is wholly dependent on the individual to make his way to Truth.

If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.
