Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

The single dynamic that helps people be most aware of God and most experiencing the fruit of the Spirit is gratitude.

Everything is Spirit - in essence, though hidden in manifestation. If you had the perception, you would see God in everything.

We are always in the presence of God, yet it seems to me that those who pray are in His presence in a very different sense.

it’s as if the universe has a sense of humor, since at a deep level it’s impossible not to lead a spiritual life… the universe is living through you at this moment. with or without belief in god, the chain of events leading from silent awareness to physical reality remains intact.

The most holy and important practice in the spiritual life is the presence of God - that is, every moment to take great pleasure that God is with you

Whatever you are doing, if there is contentment and a feeling that this whole existence is nothing but the manifestation of godliness, that we are traveling on holy earth, that whomever you are meeting, you are meeting God - there is no other way; only faces are different, but the inner reality is the same - all your tensions will disappear. And the energy that is involved in tensions will start becoming your grace, your beauty.

The Spirit is a voice that one feels more than hears.

If you distill the essence of everything, what life is about, every single one of us is given a short moment in time on this planet, and we all have one universal need and desire, and that is to be loved and to love.

If I am not, may God place me there; if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest in all the world if I knew that I were not in the grace of God. But if I were in a state of sin, do you think the Voice would come to me? I would that every one could hear the Voice as I hear it.

I think the main thing that we have to do is try and train ourselves to remember from moment to moment that God is living within us and within everybody else, and just trying to remember to see that.

What makes us human is not our mind but our heart, not our ability to think but our ability to love.

A consecrated space experientially reminds you that there is much more to life than you think.

I don't think that God is a person, a great big person in the sky. I think that God is the essence of life that shapes and forms itself in a thousand different ways, in a million lifetimes, that can be used and focused, and directed and experienced.

I believe love is what makes the world go round. No matter how old or young, love is why we are here. It is the very essence of one's being.

Read a little. Meditate more. Think of God all the time.

As it is impossible to be outside God, the best is consciously to dwell in Him.

For me, I think it's such an important thing to hear other people's stories, because you do find ways that either you can learn something from them, or you can identify with something that they've gone through. You realize that maybe what you're going through in life isn't just specific to you, that somebody else understands it, or you talk to someone and all of sudden you see something in a completely different way because of what they've said to you or shared with you.

I think there is a great quote - and I feel horrible that I don't know who said this - but it was a great quote, it says, "The only difference between all of us are the ones who are loved and the ones who are not."

Through the present moment, you have access to the power of life itself, that which has traditionally been called "God." As soon as you turn away from it, God ceases to be a reality in your life, and all you are left with is the mental concept of God, which some people believe in and others deny. Even belief in God is only a poor substitute for the living reality of God manifesting every moment of your life.

I am endeavouring to see God through service of humanity; for I know that God is neither in heaven, nor down below, but in everyone.

We are one of those couples i used to watch, thinking to myself that I'd never be on the inside of something so special. I remember reassuring myself that it probably looked nicer than it actually was, I am happy to be wrong about that.

It is an altogether wrong idea that the modern product of civilization is less susceptible to love. I sometimes think it is the other way.

The mind that is full of God is empty of anxiety. Are you troubled, restless, sleepless? Then think of God more!

I believe the greatest gift I can conceive of having from anyone is to be seen by them, heard by them, to be understood and touched by them.
