Corinne,

Wow! It’s been awhile since I read Neale’s series and I haven’t read the “Companion” book. I love his insights and I do believe he is getting his information from God, but not the God we were all taught in church or in the Bible. Life is fragile and we shouldn’t waste it on minutiae. And we should all listen better so we can hear what He has to say to us.

I believe that we are here to learn and get better. I believe in reincarnation as well, but I haven’t decided how I think it works. Each of our souls is our piece of God. God is manifested in the superposition of Himself within each of us and we are all, therefore, creators. A lot of you will read this and ask what mental hospital you should send my get well card to, but bare with me, this is based in real scientific fact.

You know from reading my blog that I have an extremely eccentric view of who and what “God” is; based on quantum physics. You can read my post about it here: http://beingthechangeiwishtosee.com/461/religion-and-gods-existence/

As they used to say in Latin “Carpe Diem” (seize the day).

Corinne, Didn’t you interview Thomas several times? I remember you saying that he rarely gave interviews but made an exception
for you.

This latest book sounds real “churchy” to me – but his writing aren’t –
I love his ambiguity. I recommend your “guest” at least check him out.

Dear Reed -

As usual, a beautiful and inspiring response from you.

This might be my favorite quote.

“No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main…any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls: It tolls for thee!”

Thanks for the reminder!

I think your life certainly reflects it. You are always ready to put out your hand – especially to the young people who need your business wisdom and patience.

Dear Barque -

How nice of you to come over and give us all this great information. Lily Rose is going to be very interested. As I am.

I don’t know if you ever see Thomas or speak to him – but if you do – tell him I love him!

What is the meaning of our lives and why are we here? I believe the answer to this universal riddle is contained in the following words by John Dunne: “No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main…any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls: It tolls for thee!”

These words resonate profoundly with me, especially, “any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind….” That one insight answers the question for me…why are we here ; what is the meaning of life? Because any man’ death diminishes me, I am here to try to make a meaningful difference in any man’s life before it is too late. “The bell tolls” reminding me time is moving on so “get on with it!!

Indeed, when I sense I may have made a maningful difference in another life, my life is embellished and my heart rings out in song!!

And YOU’RE not eccentric? Eccentrics are always the creatives in any society…. the rest are sheep!!

Dear Lily Rose -

I loved this -

“I studied Kaballah for a few years and I once asked my rabbi –
“Why are we here?” — and he said

“To get better”.

I guess that says it all.

Thomas Moore did not give too many interviews. He is essentially a shy person.

I was very complimented when he came back to me after each one of his books. He told me I made him feel comfortable.

He is truly a holy man – and so honest. Originally, as you know he was a monk – and then left to marry and have children.

I once asked him if he was eccentric and he said, “Yes”

How great is that? No pretenses at all. I love that man.

I listen Corinne, I watched almost everyone of your shows on
Wisdom and read hundreds (not as many as you did) of self-help/spiritual books (and all of yours). I have taken many business seminars on either 7 ot 10 steps on how to become a perfect person and you know what? When the hair on the back of my neck stands up – or my hands get clammy – I’m gone. (I use this method in a cab all the time!)
I did read Walsh’s book and still don’t believe it … some others, yes, this guy -no. I listen to my body .. it gets there before my mind and spirit. To each his own and my taste is for the wonderful Thomas Moore – who does NOT have all the answers. I suggest you do something with him. I have met him and I know you have interviewed him.

He has a gentle way of accepting and embracing both the dark side and the light side. His book “The Dark Nights of the Soul ” has a permanent residence on my night stand.

This guy doesn’t do “Happy Talk” or give out that re-hash “The Secret” …. he says life has both sides and the dark is there as a teacher and how about embracing it. And he doesn’t have “7 Reasons /Steps”why you should buy his book!!!! Life has a hard side and he doesn’t abandon it. H suggests we embrace it.

The dark side has been my great teacher and I don’t run from it any longer. I just pick up that book and really see the beauty in my pain. The magically – it becomes my friend – and then after a time goes away!!! We really don’t “live happily ever after”. Moore’s book should be taught to every kid over the age of reason. And we need to permanently erase the word “victim” and insert “student”!!

I studied Kaballah for a few years and I once asked my rabbi –
“Why are we here?” — and he said

“To get better”.
