- Neale -

That sounds like quite a task.
Do you understand that ?
This is the moment when courage leaves me.
In my experience, it is very difficult
to achieve these goals.
They are behaviours of the masters
which are difficult to implement for most people.

- God -

But your own experience proves otherwise!

-Neale -

My experience?
I don't understand what you are getting at.

- God-

You have already experienced all these things.
You've already had moments
where you've turned away from a negative thought...
and given your thinking a new direction.

You have already had moments,
when you have loved yourself and others
and others and life unreservedly
and you did not feel the need to change anything
- even if you did not like everything about your situation.

You have already had moments
when, after the death of another human being.
you went from mourning to celebrating.
And you've also had moments
when you felt no fear of your own death.

And finally, you have very often felt
the vibration of something
that you were radiating, that you wanted to eat, that you wanted to do.
And you have responded to that vibration
by changing the frequency of your own energy...
and making a new decision about what you wanted to experience,
about what you wanted to experience.

All of you have done this.
None of it is beyond your capabilities.
Not one aspect of it is beyond you.
Nothing that I have described here
cannot be learned and mastered
by a sentient being.

All you have to do is decide,
to be in this state more often.

- Neale -

Oh, my goodness!
I didn't think it could be that easy.

- God -

It can be so easy.

- Neale -

And you think I can do it?
Can we all do it?
I know I'm begging for an answer here, but...

- God -

...of course you can do it!
It's simply a matter of you looking at a behavior
that is not serving you, and replacing it
with a different response of your own choosing...
to life's invitations.
Haven't you ever given up something
what you call a 'bad habit'?

-Neale -

Yes, I have.
Most of us have had some success
some success in that regard.

- God -

There you go.
And how did you change this habit?

-2-


- Neale -

I wanted it. I just decided,
that I wanted this change.

- God -

And how did you come to that decision?

- Neale -

... For me it was a particularly big step,
to quit smoking.
I smoked for over twenty years,
at last count a pack and a half a day.
Then one day I decided to quit.
From one day to the next
I never touched a cigarette again.
That was over thirty years ago now.

And that's not the only habit..,
that I felt wasn't doing me any good..,
and that's why I gave it up.

- God -

So you've proven your ability
to abruptly change a behavior that's been practiced
abruptly.

- Neale -

Yes.

-God -

Then the step from a human being
who is awake and does not know it, to a human being
who is awake and knows he's awake..,
is only one decision away for you.
- just as you said yourself in this conversation.

And taking that step is really easy.
Because, unlike giving up a bad habit
it is not even necessary to change
to a completely new behaviour.
It's simply a matter of continuing to do something,
that you've already done in your life,
only now you do it more often...

This is a great awakening.
Now you have awakened to the fact
that you're already awake.
