I Believe in "The Five Steps to Peace"

—from the—

"Conversations with God" books!

AS [I] SEEK TO CREATE HARMONY IN OUR WORLD, [I], THE UNDERSIGNED, HEREBY PUBLICLY COMMIT TO TAKING THE FIVE STEPS TO PEACE:

1. [I] acknowledge that certain old beliefs about Life and about God are no longer working.

2. [I] acknowledge that there is something [I] do not understand about God and about Life, the understanding of which could change everything.

3. [I am] willing for new understandings of God and Life to now be brought forth, understandings that could produce a new way of life on this planet.

4. [I am] willing to explore and examine these new understandings, and, if they align with [my] inner truth and knowing, to enlarge [my] belief system to include them.

5. [I am] willing to live [my life] as a demonstration of [my] beliefs.

"Conversations with God" from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia—which is funded primarily through donations from millions of individuals around the world, including this blogger (I make a totally affordable one-time donation if they are requesting donations when I am on their website):

"Conversations with God (CwG) is a sequence of books written by Neale Donald Walsch. It was written as a dialogue in which Walsch asks questions and God answers. The first book of the Conversations with God series, Conversations with God, Book 1: An Uncommon Dialogue, was published in 1995 and became a publishing phenomenon, staying on the New York Times Best-Sellers List for 137 weeks. The succeeding volumes in the nine book series also appeared prominently on the List.

In an interview with Larry King, Walsch described the inception of the books as follows: at a low period in his life, Walsch wrote an angry letter to God asking questions about why his life wasn't working. After writing down all of his questions, he heard a voice over his right shoulder say: 'Do you really want an answer to all these questions or are you just venting?' Though when he turned around he saw no one there, Walsch felt answers to his questions filling his mind and decided to write them down. The ensuing dialogue became the Conversations with God books. When asked in a recent interview how does he 'open up' to God these days, Neale stated 'I am reaching out to touch others with this information. When I reach out and touch others with this information I reconnect immediately with the divine presence.'"

CwG's basic messages:

"In Friendship with God, Walsch writes that God presents four concepts which are central to the entire dialogue:

1. We are all one.
2. There's enough.
3. There's nothing we have to do.
4. Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.

Existence is essentially non dual in nature. At the highest level there is no separation between anything and there is only one of us; there is only God, and everything is God. The second statement, following from the first, means that we, in this seeming existence, lack nothing and if we choose to realize it, we have enough of whatever we think we need (or the means to create it) within us. The third statement combines the first two to conclude that God, being all there is and is thus always sufficient unto Itself, has no need of anything and therefore has no requirements of humanity. The final concept puts an end to our need to always be right. Given that we have and are everything, and there's nothing we have to do, there are an infinite number of ways to experience this, not just the one way we may have chosen so far..."

My Philosophical Notes:

The reason that I wrote this prose can be summed up with the following statement: I am rereading the "Conversations with God" series of books [which I reread from just shortly after June 5th, 2016 to exactly September 12th, 2016]... And I was rereading "The New Revelations: A Conversation with God," when I read the quote below on pages 314 to 315, which inspired me to write the post above:

"AS WE SEEK TO CREATE HARMONY IN OUR WORLD,
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, HEREBY PUBLICLY COMMIT
TO TAKING THE FIVE STEPS TO PEACE:

1. We acknowledge that certain old beliefs about Life and about God are no longer working.

4. We are willing to explore and examine these new understandings, and, if they align with our inner truth and knowing, to enlarge our belief system to include them.

5. We are willing to live our lives as a demonstration of our beliefs."

And this prose was formerly published on my "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest" blogs, but I decided to only publish "The 'Conversations with God' books-Inspired Posts" on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog, because these posts are more about philosophy and so is this blog.

(Image from Self-Help-Ebook.net)

I Believe in "The New Revelations"

—from the—

"Conversations with God" books!

1. I believe that "God has never stopped talking with humans." And I believe that "God has been communicating with and through humans from the beginning of time." And I also believe that "God does so today."

2. I believe that "every human being is special as every other human being who has ever lived, lives today, or will ever live." And I believe that "[we] are all messengers. Everyone of [us]." And I also believe that "[we] are carrying a message to and about life every day. Every hour. Every moment."

3. I believe that "no path to God is more direct than any other path." And I believe that "no religion is the 'one true religion,' no people are 'the chosen people,' and no prophet is the 'greatest prophet.'"

4. I believe that "God needs nothing. God requires nothing in order to be happy." And I believe that "God is happiness itself. Therefore, God requires nothing of anyone or anything in the universe."

5. I believe that "God is not a single Super Being, living somewhere in the Universe or outside of it, having the same emotional needs and subject to the same emotional turmoils as humans." And I believe "That Which Is God cannot be hurt or damaged in any way, and so, has no need to seek revenge or impose punishment."

6. I believe that "all things are One Thing." And I believe that "there is only One Thing, and all things are a part of the One Thing That Is."

7. I believe that "there is no such thing as Right and Wrong." And I believe that "there is only What Works and What Does Not Work, depending upon what it is that [we] seek to be, do, or have."

8. I believe that "[we] are not [our] body." And I believe that "who [we] are is limitless and without end."

9. I believe that "we cannot die, and [we] will never be condemned to eternal damnation."

Post No. 130: I Believe in "A New Spirituality" from the "Conversations with God" books!

(Image from Quote Addicts)

I Believe in "A New Spirituality"

—from the—

"Conversations with God" books!

I believe that "there may be something we do not know, the knowing of which could change everything. Do we dare to explore, suggest, recommend, and create a new spirituality—one that does not reject everything about the old, but improves upon it; carrying humanity to greater heights?..."

I believe that "[we] may want to consider the possibility that what would work for the world right now—given what the world says it wants to experience, which is peace and harmony—is a New Spirituality based upon New Revelations. A spirituality that enlarges upon organized religion in its present form. For it is many of [our] old religions, with their inherent limitations, that stop [us] from experiencing God as God really is. They also stop [us] from experiencing peace, joy and freedom—which are other words for God as God really is..."

I believe that "the world must create a New Spirituality. Not something to completely replace the old, but to refresh it. Not something to reduce the old, but something to expand it. Not something to subvert the old, but something to support the best of it. It is now time to present the world with new theological thoughts and ideas, a new spiritual model..."

I believe that "if [we] are courageous, if [we] are very brave, [we] will allow a New Spirituality to enhance [our] religious experience. This spirituality will not reject out right our traditional religious teachings, but enlarge upon them and alter some of the teaching that [we] agree no longer apply or no longer function..."

I believe that "[we] can change our world, and the fastest way to do that will be to step away from [our] fallacies and embrace a new revelation and a new spirituality. This would be the most courageous thing that human beings have done for centuries. It could change human history..."

I believe that "the world is more ready than it has ever been. The world is hungry, the world is starving, for a new spiritual truth—a truth that works in sustaining life, not a truth that brings an end to life. The world is searching for a new spiritual path, begging for a new set of understandings. Most people simply do not dare to say so publicly. Saying so would mean having to acknowledge that the world's present spiritual path is not getting humans where they say they want to go. It is very difficult, it can be very fearful, for people to go against the prevailing notion of things—even when that prevailing notion of things is killing them..."

I believe that "the first thing [we] can do is take the Five Steps to Peace. [We] can acknowledge that what [we've] been doing up until now no longer works..."

I believe, however, that we should not "seek to make the New Revelations a new religion, but rather, allow the New Revelations to reveal the simple and awesome truth that new revelation is possible. In doing so, [we] empower humanity to reveal true humanity to itself. For when true humanity is revealed, it will be found to be Godly..."

I believe "that the New Spirituality will not be a complete rejection of the old, but rather, it will expand upon the old. It will eliminate from the old what clearly no longer serves [us], and bring a new a deeper understanding to that which does not serve [us]. It will retain the best of [our] ancient wisdoms..."

I believe that "this is why, if [we] wish to enhance [our] world as [we] say that [we] do, [we] are invited to create a New Spirituality, based upon New Revelations..."

I believe that "an international, universal, transcreedal, transcultural, transracial, standard for theology is the statement: 'We Are All One. Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.' This can be the gospel of a New Spirituality. I can be a king of spirituality that gives people back to themselves..."

"Conversations with God" from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia—which is funded primarily through donations from millions of individuals around the world, including this blogger (I make a totally affordable one-time donation if they are requesting donations when I am on their website):

"Conversations with God (CwG) is a sequence of books written by Neale Donald Walsch. It was written as a dialogue in which Walsch asks questions and God answers. The first book of the Conversations with God series, Conversations with God, Book 1: An Uncommon Dialogue, was published in 1995 and became a publishing phenomenon, staying on the New York Times Best-Sellers List for 137 weeks. The succeeding volumes in the nine book series also appeared prominently on the List.

In an interview with Larry King, Walsch described the inception of the books as follows: at a low period in his life, Walsch wrote an angry letter to God asking questions about why his life wasn't working. After writing down all of his questions, he heard a voice over his right shoulder say: 'Do you really want an answer to all these questions or are you just venting?' Though when he turned around he saw no one there, Walsch felt answers to his questions filling his mind and decided to write them down. The ensuing dialogue became the Conversations with God books. When asked in a recent interview how does he 'open up' to God these days, Neale stated 'I am reaching out to touch others with this information. When I reach out and touch others with this information I reconnect immediately with the divine presence.'"

CwG's basic messages:

"In Friendship with God, Walsch writes that God presents four concepts which are central to the entire dialogue:

1. We are all one.
2. There's enough.
3. There's nothing we have to do.
4. Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.

Existence is essentially non dual in nature. At the highest level there is no separation between anything and there is only one of us; there is only God, and everything is God. The second statement, following from the first, means that we, in this seeming existence, lack nothing and if we choose to realize it, we have enough of whatever we think we need (or the means to create it) within us. The third statement combines the first two to conclude that God, being all there is and is thus always sufficient unto Itself, has no need of anything and therefore has no requirements of humanity. The final concept puts an end to our need to always be right. Given that we have and are everything, and there's nothing we have to do, there are an infinite number of ways to experience this, not just the one way we may have chosen so far..."

And I was rereading "The New Revelations: A Conversation with God," when I read the quote below on pages 209 to 212, which inspired me to write the prose above:

"Perhaps now it is time—while we still have time—for all of us to ask ourselves some very important questions. Is it possible that the Word of God as put down by humans in their holy books has some errors in it? Is it possible that there is something we don't know about God and about Life, the knowing of which could change everything? If only there could be a New Gospel.

"There can be. It was proposed before, in the book Friendship with God. Fifteen words that could change the world. A two-sentence gospel that could turn the planet on its ear.

"Yes, I remember now. Two sentences that would alter everything.

"They are sentences that could not be uttered from many pulpits or lecterns, by many religious or political leaders. You can dare them to say it, but they will not. You can beg them to repeat it, but they must not. You can cry out for them to declare it, but they cannot.

"Why? Why can't they say it?

"Because to utter this New Gospel would be to invalidate everything they have taught you, everything of which thy have sought to convince you, everything on which they base their actions.

"You're right. It's a New Gospel that could save the world, but the world cannot preach these two sentences. The world cannot proclaim them. They are too powerful. They are too disruptive. Still, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there are some brave religions and political leaders who might take up this proposed New Gospel and repeat it. Let's proclaim it here!

"'We Are All One.' 'Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.'

"What a message that would be coming from the pulpits of the world! What a declaration that would be from the podiums of all nations!"

And this prose was formerly published on my "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest" blogs, but I decided to only publish "The 'Conversations with God' books-Inspired Posts" on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog, because these posts are more about philosophy and so is this blog.

Thus, this prose was only published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog.

This prose was written in Portland, Oregon.
