Central Question of Existence by Neal Donald Walsch
(Excerpts from the 7.18.09 ReCreation Team Note. To get his notes on a regular basis sign up at http://www.cwg.org/main.php). On 7.18.099 Neal wrote:

I have come to understand that you are, and I am, an Individuated Aspect of Divinity, traveling on a journey through the endless cycle of life, so that we may both know and experience ourselves as Who We Really Are at any time during that cycle. And who are we? Divinity Itself. In short...

You are God.

I know this is difficult to embrace. I know this is challenging to accept --- to even think about in those terms. Traditional religions have taught us exactly the opposite. They have taught us that we are God's creation, but that we are not connected in any way to God. In fact, just the opposite is true, they have said. We are disconnected. We are separated from God --- and our job is to get back to God.

I have called this particular line of thinking "Separation Theology." This is a theology that says "I am 'over here' and God is 'over there', and never the 'twain shall meet-until I die and God decides whether I have been good enough to come back `home' and to be back with Him 'over there'."

This belief system has become problematical because a Separation Theology produces a Separation Psychology. That is, an idea held deep in the human psyche that says we are inherently alone, separate from our creator, working and hoping to find a way back Home. And a Separation Psychology produces a Separation Cosmology. That is, a cosmological way of looking at all of Life which holds that everything is separate from everything else. And a Separation Cosmology produces a Separation Sociology. That is, a way of socializing the human species that separates every person from every other person by declaring their interests to be separate. And a Separation Sociology produces a Separation Pathology. That is, pathological behaviors of self-destruction, engaged in individually and collectively and evidenced everywhere on our planet throughout human history.

The healing of all this separation is easy. Simply adopt a New Spirituality. Embrace a belief system that says the way to get back to God is to know that you have never left!

In my Conversations with God I was told that this is the truth of it. You are God and I am God and everything that exists is God, expressing God, and there is nothing that Is that is not God. There is nothing but Divinity. All the stuff of life is just that, and there is nothing else.

Life is your opportunity to know and experience that. You can do this now, in any moment of your present lifetime. Others have done it. Masters have done it. Masters are called "masters" because they have known themselves as God.

Some of them have even called themselves that. Yet when you call yourself Divine as you travel with those who do not know themselves as that, they are liable to be offended by you. They may even crucify you. They will surely disassociate from you, even as they long to be and experience what you are demonstrating.

When you "cross over" at the end of your current cycle of life, you will know the bliss and the joy of being the Totality of Who You Are. And you will do a great deal more. You will decide how you wish to expand that. You will choose what you next wish to know, experience, and Be-for life is a continual process of recreating the Self. This is what God is up to!

God is doing this through the reformation and the transformation of every aspect of Itself, one aspect at a time. That is, God is re-forming Itself and transforming Itself in every single golden moment of Now --- through the process that human beings call Constant Change.

You are, in fact, doing exactly that yourself, during every passage from the Realm of the Spiritual to the Realm of the Physical and back again, on the eternal Journey of the Soul.

Many of you who wrote answers to this question over the past several weeks said the same thing. And this is very exciting to me, very inspiring. Because it tells me that people everywhere are waking up. People everywhere are "getting it." People everywhere are re-claiming, at last, their own Divinity.

When all of us do that, we will create heaven on earth --- and the great prophesies will be fulfilled. For it is as it has been written: "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High."

ALL of you --- not some of you, not only one of you, but ALL of you --- are the Son of God, the Daughter of God, the Children of God, and therefore God Itself, born again.

You are "born again" Godians. Go forth, therefore, and let your light so shine before men, that all may know Who You Really Are...and that all may know who they really are, through you.
