Sharing some Spiritual Thoughts and Principles from Neale Donald Walsh’s
‘Tomorrow’s God’)
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual
beings having a human experience.”
- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Submitters’s Note:
This article (in point form) was based on notes I’ve taken directly from
Neale Donald Walsh’s fascinating and thought-provoking new book
‘Tomorrow’s God’, whilst studying the link between the human mind and
spirituality. I’m sharing this piece from Chapter Twelve ‘The Jesus
Factor’ (a “great enlightening read”) to hopefully stimulate thinking and
discussion on the life and mission of Jesus from Walsh’s writings and
beliefs on the spiritual journey’ . (Incidentally, I do ‘try to test’,
futher explore and apply these principles in ‘real life’ and they DO
work). Hope sharing this short extract, these ‘eternal truths’ from an
excellent book may be of interest, uplifting and perhaps even
inspirational to you. Enjoy…

THE JESUS FACTOR (FROM ‘TOMORROW’S GOD’) *
by Neale Donald Walsch
* Published by Hodder Stoughton, a division of Hodder Headline
God and I are one. Jesus taught that we and God are One, but that no one
wanted to believe it; because it did not serve the human agenda. Jesus
was and is a saviour to all humankind. He knew Who He Really Was. So he
declared it for all to hear.
He declared something else. He said that what he did on the earth, we
could also do. By elevating and expanding our consciousness, together
with a high level of faith is the key to experiencing these gifts. That
was the central message that Jesus taught.
“According to your faith, be it unto you.”
“Oh woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt.” (And
the woman’s daughter was made whole from that very hour!)
“If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall
say unto this mountain, ‘Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall
remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you.”
- Jesus’s words
Still if we cannot believe in ourselves and in our own divine heritage
(and because so many people cannot!), Jesus in an act of enormous love
and compassion, invites us to believe in Him.
“Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth in me, the works that I
do, shall he also do; and greater works than these he shall do, because I
go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I
do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any
thing in my name, I will do it.”
This was an extrordinary promise. So great and so complex was Jesus’s
understanding of who He was and of who we are (”I and my Father are
one”). He knew deeply that there was no limit to what we could do, if we
believed in ourselves, or in Him.
So great was His perfect love for all humankind, and so full was his
compassion for their suffering, that he called upon Himself to rise to
the highest level, to move to the grandest expression of his being, in
order to present a living example to all human beings everywhere:
Of God’s Unlimited Love and Grace for each one of us.
YOU too can elevate your thinking to the highest level of consciousness
and be the change you wish to see in the world today. In so doing you
will live at the highest level of humanity and be an example…for the
benefit of all mankind.
And then He prayed that we would not only see the evidence of His Oneness
with the Father, but our own Oneness with God as well.
It was a marvellous inspiration for him to invite those who could not
imagine themselves to be a part of God to imagine themselves to be a part
of Him. He knew that it would be easier for us to see ourselves as
“Brothers in Christ” than as One with God!
“I and my Father are one (John 10:30).
” And the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them; that they may be
one, even as we are one.” (John 17:22)
He stated repeatedly the truth of our oneness with God.
And if Jesus Christ was One with God, then so too are we. We simply do
not know it, refuse to believe it and cannot imagine it!
In essence, Jesus is saying: ‘I am the Life and the Way. Live your life
as I live mine, go the way I’ve gone, ie. follow me – and you will
experience God’. That is the truth I came to reveal to you. I came not to
humble you, but to exalt you; not to put you down, but to raise you up.
His message (humble) was that he was greater than none, nor is any one
greater than any other, for You are all One. Jesus, like other masters
and messengers (like Buddha, Abraham, Krishna, Moses and Mohammed) love
you today as they did in their times and invite you today, as they did
then to accept and embrace the wonder and glory of Who You Are through
living at the highest level of humanity.
Jesus Christ said what He said and did what He did – that you may know
who He was… and thus know also Who You Are. Often what is hard for us
to believe about ourselves, we can believe about another – and Jesus knew
this! That was His mission giving hope and love to humankind: precisely
what He knew and why He chose do do what He did …in life and in death!
Thus it is not Jesus’s death that can save us, but his LIFE!
We are the hope of humanity
YOU too can choose to be the HOPE OF HUMANITY

“Let your light so shine that they may see your good works and glorify
your Father which is in heaven.”
(Matt 5:16)
“You are the light of the world; a city cannot be hidden, if it is built
on a mountain top. A lamp is not lighted to be put away under a bushel
measure; it is put on the lamp stand, to give light to all the people of
the house; and your light must shine so brightly before men”
(Matt 5,14-16. Knox).
“Let the light of your BEING shine brightly; so revealing Who
You Really Are. Be a Bringer of the Light, which emanates
from our soul, God, our Creator, the Source, the Essence of Life
(and Ground of our very Being).
Therefore, it can do more than illuminate
your own path.YOUR spirit will help makes the lives of
others easier by illuminating others paths. For this light
is our humanity, the spirit of God, truth, wisdom, beauty and
especially love…and it lies within each one of us. Through
your actions and your being, let your light, YOUR spirit
truly shine brightly on the world, like the radiance emitted
by a candle at midnight.”

‘Conversations with God Book 3′).
