Is Something Not Working?

We have been talking here last two weeks about the life experience of Change. I have been saying in this space that all change is change for the better. There is no such thing as change for the worse. While this is difficult to embrace for many people, it is soundly based in the principles of life.

Conversations with God tells us that life is eternally Functional, Adaptable, and Sustainable. These are the Basic Principles of Life, and they cannot be violated or rendered in any way inoperable, or Life would cease to be.

All of this becomes much easier for people to comprehend with my simple substitution of the word God for the word Life. Suddenly, everything is made clear. God is eternally Functional, Adaptable, and Sustainable. These are the Basic Principles of God, and they cannot be violated or rendered in any way inoperable, or God would cease to be.

When human beings embrace the extraordinary idea presented here, the process of change will be seen for what it is: the ultimate expression of Divinity Itself, sustaining Itself through adaptations that render Itself eternally magnificent.

Change is an announcement of Life's intention to go on. Change is the fundamental impulse of Life Itself.

Again I want to tell you that I don't think that a lot of people see it this way. If they saw it this way they would heed the injunction of Christ, and "be not afraid." Yet "ye of little faith" are afraid. Thus it was that Franklin Roosevelt was moved to say, "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself."

I'm going to take that one step further. I'm going to say...

We have nothing to change, but Change Itself. That is, we have only to change our ideas of what change is, and why it occurs, and we will have mastered the central experience of life.

We should all be aware that change does not occur in a vacuum. Change does not take place in the universe for no reason. Change is not a random act. Change is an announcement that something is not working.

The changes that have occurred in your life have happened because disharmony was present. When disharmony is present, life becomes dysfunctional-and that condition violates the first of the Basic Principles of Life (Life is Functional, Adaptable, and Sustainable) and invokes the second.

Okay...now you might say,

"If all things happen for the better...I mean, if that is really true...then someone needs to tell me what in blazes God has in mind, because things sure don't look any better to me!"

And this leads us to a change that I have been encouraging people to make about change itself. I have been saying to people..."Change your idea about why change occurs."

And that's what we're going to take a look at next week.

The wonderful information I am sharing with you here comes out of the insight in When Everything Changes, Change Everything-a book than can truly "change" your life.

See you then!

Love and Hugs,

Neale

Thank you so much for this message. I am a Reconnective Healing Practitioner who is trying to find words of wisdom to share with people who cross my path everyday. Today I had a conversation with God asking to be presented with words that will help those who are afraid. People are so afraid of everything...they don't want to open their eyes or their hearts to anything or anybody! So many think that what I do is not God. I reply to them - then who is it? Who is it if it is not God, because this is real and it is now- just like God. Many Blessings...Annette Moreland

Neale's recent articles on Change are so moving in their truthfulness and yes, it is about what we already know even if we dont want to admit it. Thank you Neale.

I have a dilemma which I desperately require clarification on please and would appreciate your assistance please.
It involves 'Money':
1. I have managed to draw to me the best minds on planet earth on How to attract 'MONEY, WEALTH and PROSPERITY' and the accumulation thereof. All of which have helped me get to the root of my problem with money. However I am still after twelve if not more years living in abject poverty and still I am driven by this insatiable idea to drop this system or tool of money, but rather to be able to use a tool called 'faith' and manifest from the material world what I believe would be better benefit to the world at large.This tool of faith would assist us in exploring the frontiers of the mind and hence we would have to study self in order to manifest thus ensuring that what we manifest is correct for Gaia and the world at large. I still have this sentiment that money blocks us from this endeavor. This has created rage within me and I am now at an impasse. I dearly would love a light cast on this problem.

This is so true...Thank you, Neale! I see what it's not working, so not only I'm not afraid of change but I'm eager to see it happening. Blessings :)

@Tollahm,

Desperation, rage, insatiability, striving and driving for answers, and focusing on your blockages and poverty will only create more of the same. What is received from "the best minds on planet earth" is but half of the equation. Have you welcomed your best heart to the party, as well?

There is yet more releasing to do. Breathing, as well. Turn your attention to the beauty around you, be it nature, music, art, love, or other higher-vibration expressions. It costs nothing to gaze at the sky or listen to birdsong.

I have been where you are, and so speak from experience.

Here are potent words regarding faith:

Amazing synchronicity in the timing of this message. I am in the middle of a "Transition Town" training, discussing the merits of change with the looming energy, economic, and climatic upheavals. It truly takes faith to render the fear powerless. I shall share this with the group tomorrow. Thank you, Neale,as always! deb
