By Neale Donald Walsch.
1. We are all One.
All things are One Thing. There is only One Thing, and all things are part of the One Thing there is. This means that you are Divine. You are not your body, you are not your mind, and you are not your soul. You are the unique combination of all three, which comprises the Totality Of You. You are an individuation of Divinity; an expression of God on Earth.
2. There’s enough.
It is not necessary to compete for, much less fight over, your resources. All you have to do is share.
3. There’s nothing you have to do.
There is much you will do, but nothing you are required to do. God wants nothing, needs nothing, demands nothing, commands nothing.
4. God talks to everyone, all the time.
The question is not: To whom does God talk? The question is: Who listens?

5. There are Three Basic Principles of Life: Functionality, Adaptability, and Sustainability.
6. There is no such thing as Right and Wrong.
There is only What Works and What Does Not Work, given what it is you are trying to do.
7. In the spiritual sense, there are no victims and no villains in the world.
Yet, in the human sense it appears that there surely are. Yet because you are Divine, everything that happens ultimately benefits you.
8. No one does anything inappropriate, given their model of the world.
9. There is no such place as hell, and eternal damnation does not exist.
10. Death does not exist.
What you call “death” is merely a process of Re-Identification.
11. There is no such thing as Space and Time; there is only Here and Now.
12. Love is all there is.
13. You are the creator of your own reality.
You create using the Three Tools of Creation: Thought, Word, and Action.
14. Your life has nothing to do with you.
It is about everyone whose life you touch and how you touch it.
15. The purpose of your life is to re-create yourself anew.
Create yourself anew in the next grandest version of the greatest vision ever you held about Who You Are.
16. The moment you declare anything, everything unlike it will come into the space.
This is the Law of Opposites, producing a contextual field within which that which you wish to express may be experienced.
17. There is no such thing as Absolute Truth. All truth is subjective.
Within this framework there are five levels of truth telling: Tell your truth to yourself about yourself; Tell your truth to yourself about another; Tell your truth about yourself to another; Tell your truth about another to another; Tell your truth to everyone about everything.
18. The human race lives within a precise set of illusions.
The Ten Illusions of Humans are Need Exists, Failure Exists, Disunity Exists, Insufficiency Exists, Requirement Exists, Judgment Exists, Condemnation Exists, Conditionality Exists, Superiority Exists, and Ignorance Exists. These illusions are meant to serve humanity, but it must learn how to use them.
19. The Three Core Concepts of Holistic Living are Honesty, Awareness, and Responsibility.
Live according to these precepts and self-anger will disappear from your life.
20. Life functions within a Be-Do-Have paradigm.
Most people have this backward, imagining that first one must “have” things in order to “do” things, thus to “be” what they wish to be. Reversing this process is the fastest way to experience mastery in living.
21. There are Three Levels of Awareness: Hope, Faith, and Knowing.
Spiritual mastery is about living from the third level.
22. There are Five Fallacies about God that create crisis, violence, killing, and war.
- First, the idea that God needs something.
- Second, the idea that God can fail to get what He needs.
- Third, the idea that God has separated you from Him because you have not given Him what He needs.
- Fourth, the idea that God still needs what He needs so badly that God now requires you, from your separated position, to give it to Him.
- Fifth, the idea that God will destroy you if you do not meet His requirements.
23. There are also Five Fallacies about Life.
These fallacies create crisis, violence, killing, and war.
- First, the idea that human beings are separate from each other.
- Second, the idea that there is not enough of what human beings need to be happy.
- Third, the idea that in order to get the stuff of which there is not enough, human beings must compete with each other.
- Fourth, the idea that some human beings are better than other human beings.
- Fifth, the idea that it is appropriate for human beings to resolve severe differences created by all the other fallacies by killing each other.
24. You think you are being terrorized by other people, but in truth you are being terrorized by your beliefs.
Your experience of yourself and your world will shift dramatically if you adopt, collectively, the Five Steps to Peace:
- Permit yourself to acknowledge that some of your old beliefs about God and about Life are no longer working.
- Explore the possibility that there is something you do not fully understand about God and about Life, the understanding of which would change everything.
- Announce that you are 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.
- Courageously examine these new understandings and, if they align with your personal inner truth and knowing, enlarge your belief system to include them.
- Express your life as a demonstration of your highest beliefs, rather than as a denial of them.
25. Let there be a New Gospel for all the people of Earth: “We are all one. Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.”

All souls were created at once, correct? where do people get this “old soul” and “new soul” from?
We are all created at the same time. Then our souls are recycled into different lives. I thought I read this in one of the CWG books . Could you shine a light on this please?
Souls have the same date of birth but different amount of time in bodies. Some choose harder lessons to learn and others take an easier path. “Old” souls means those who have had many more lives in body and more lessons. “New” souls have not had many “lives” in bodies, and less lessons. Some souls take longer breaks between lives. Others want to come back again quickly. We are all figuring it out. Like an infinite journey to create our souls in God’s image, at our own pace. To learn all God knows thru the ability to experience all things. To explore and discover. To master and practice.
God made me did a more better extra best enjoyable life I did everyday all my life.( everyday when I am living alive and when I happy death)
Help me understand #16 better. The law of opposites.
Thank you.

The moment you try to define something as being a certain way, you have to also define what it is not. Your focus on what the thing is will start to call to your mind what it isn’t, and so those opposites will be drawn into your life.
For example, if I believe that I need to be right. What does that mean? All the things that make me feel wrong will start to be highlighted in my mind, and I’ll focalize on those in an effort to make them more wrong so that I can keep feeling right. Separateness, in essence, invites more division, more opposition.
If I just am, neither wrong nor right, there’s no conflict.
In declaring something like say, “I am brilliant”, your brilliance can only exist if there is a contrasting element surrounding it. If you are in a room with brilliant people your brilliance will not per se stand out. However if you are in a room full of ignorant people your brilliance will stand out like a beacon in a dark night.
In the childrens book by Neale he writes about how one indivualised soul darkens himself so the other soul can know himself as light.
As I tell my children, someone can only be very good at something because other people are not. They need those other people to establish that contrast and (perceived) hierarchy
