Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

Where conscious subjectivity is concerned, there is no distinction between the observation and the thing observed.

The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.

What you see is what you see.

Truth is an illusory notion.

We're not in the physical world. The physical world is in us. We create the physical world when we perceive it, when we observe it. And also we create this experience in our imagination. And when I say "we," I don't mean the physical body or the brain, but a deeper domain of consciousness which conceives, governs, constructs and actually becomes everything that we call physical reality.

We can never be quite clear whether we are referring to the world as it is or to the world as we see it.

Reality is a concept that depends largely upon where you point your face.

Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An artist is making something exist by observing it. And his hope for other people is that they will also make it exist by observing it. I call it 'creative observation.' Creative viewing.

The people who say you are not facing reality actually mean that you are not facing their idea of reality

People make their own reality. That was what Praxis had taught him years ago. A hundred people can witness the exact same event, and give two hundred and three different accountings of it.

You're like a witness. You're the one who goes to the museum and looks at the paintings. I mean the paintings are there and you're in the museum too, near and far away at the same time. I'm a painting. Rocamadour is a painting. Etienne is a painting, this room is a painting. You think that you're in the room but you're not. You're looking at the room, you're not in the room.

The physical world, including our bodies, is a response of the observer. We create our bodies as we create the experience of our world.

There are many levels of truth.

The focus of subjectivity is a distorting mirror.

As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.

Truth is always a delusion.

Nothing has existence unless you, I, or some living creature perceives it, and how it is perceived further influences that reality. Even time itself is not exempted from biocentrism.

One man's observation is another man's closed book or flight of fancy.

The observer, when he seems to himself to be observing a stone, is really, if physics is to be believed, observing the effects of the stone upon himself.

In polling, truth is what people perceive.

The truth is whatever people will believe is the truth.

Truth is, in fact, an elusive concept. It depends almost entirely on where you are standing at the time. It is a human instinct to confuse belief with truth.

In my long experience, one thing I know is that truth is elusive.

People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That’s how they define Reality. But what does it mean to be “correct” or “true”? Merely vague concepts… Their Reality may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?

Things are only real after one has learned to agree on their realness. What took place this evening, for instance, cannot possibly be real to you, because no one could agree with you about it. 'Do you mean that you didn't see what happened?'. Of course I did. But I don't count. I am the one who's lying to you, remember?
