Conversations with God

How can God stand by and let terrible things happen to wonderful people—to say nothing of little children? Where is God when misery visits the earth? This is a question that I hear many, many times in my travels. It is a question that I received again yesterday at Ask Neale, which is a member…

The path of transformation is not as easy path to walk. I know, because I have tried. Over and over again, in fact, I have tried. For me the issue is not that I have failed to try. Quite the reverse. I have tried and failed. Yet what does that mean…? I once had a…

Remember The Great Christmas Tree Drama at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport two years ago? You may recall all the hullabaloo about the airport’s decision to remove the lighted trees from the airport in the middle of the night after a local rabbi, Elazar Bogomilsky, requested a Hanukkah menorah also be displayed.

How hard is transformation? How elusive is “enlightenment”? Are these things even possible? What is this process, by which the soul evolves? Or do we even have a soul… …and if we do, do we. as human beings in the physical world, have anything to do with it? Can we “contact” it? Can we get…

Is it possible to deal with all the changes we are facing in our lives in a way that makes sense to our soul? I am convinced that there is. But how, in this constantly shifting time, can we reconcile what is going on with what we want to be going on? That’s not a…

Are psychics an avenue to greater understanding, to answers for which we yearn, to insights about ourselves and our future? Let me say this about that. Every one of us in a “psychic.” That’s because every single one of us possesses so-called “psychic powers.” So, can a person tell us things about ourselves that could…

Sexual abuse is one of the most challenging and damaging life experiences from which to recover. Yet recovery — and I mean full recovery, is possible. What is often needed and always beneficial is the heart and ear of someone who understands, and who has the skills to help. Today I want to tell you…

When people feel “made wrong,” or when they feel themselves to somehow be “not good enough” in any given moment, they often react with anger.
