Conversations with God

Have you had enough yet?

Have you had enough yet?

Are you ready now?

Thank you.

And every single

free choice you make...

arises from either a thought of love

or a thought of fear.

There is no other choice.

And if I had one thing to say

about what we're trying...

to understand here tonight,

it would be- it would be this:

That feeling inside of you...

that love inside of you-

that's God...

expressing through you as you.

Yes?

My name is Daisy...

- and I just wanted to

say I loved your book.

- Thank you, Daisy.

And I'm-I'm feeling like I

finally understand what it means

to be awake in my own life.

- Feels good, doesn't it?

- It's totally amazing!

- Mm-hmm.

- I walk around feeling like

I've been given a secret.

Well...

the secret is out!

The problem I've been having...

is that some of my friends,

even my family-

If I say anything remotely spiritual,

they get this glazed look on their face.

- Ah.

- And I know that look...

because it's the same look I've had,

or used to have, every day of my life.

I know exactly what that feels like.

And the good news is,

you're not crazy.

- Good.

- 'Cause we're both crazy.

And if that's the case...

we're in very good company.

Instead of worrying about

what people think about you...

concentrate on

what you think about you.

That's important.

Any regrets?

- Many.

- Care to name a few?

You're not a lawyer, are you?

I wish that I could have come to

this point in my life without hurting-

Wish I'd come to this point

in my life without...

hurting so many people-

especially the people I've loved.

But without them...

I might not have come

to this point in my life.

See, it's important

for all of us to remember...

that the universe

is conspiring in our favor-

always, and in all ways...

despite circumstances

and appearances...

or most importantly,

our perception of them.

- You've got a lot of nerve!

- I'm sorry?

- You're a hypocrite.

- It's all right. It's all right.

It's all right.

Standing up there preaching

about God and love.

You've been married

and divorced a lot.

If you talk to God, how come you can't

keep a commitment with a woman?

I can't tell you how many times

I've asked myself that same question.

The women in my life...

are all wonderful.

They treated me a whole lot

better than I treated them.

I betrayed them.

I let them down.

I let my kids down too.

I admit that.

More than that I cannot say

without invading their privacy...

and that I am not gonna do.

What I can do is love

as much as I can from where I am.

To make every gesture and action

sponsored by love.

Sounds to me like you've

written a book of lies.

If what you're asking me is, did I make

all of this stuff up, the answer is no.

I've wondered what you're wondering.

"Will anyone believe me,

believe what I'm saying...

believe where this came from?"

And I guess that

that's up to you-

to each of you.

I only hope that you don't

disqualify or marginalize the message...

because it's coming through

such a fallible messenger.

My name is Kay,

and I just wanted to thank you...

for admitting your mistakes.

Well, thank you, Kay-

um, and all of you.

But the truth of it is, I'm still making

those mistakes to this day.

That's why these conversations with God

are such a miracle for me.

They-They came out of a need-

a desperate personal need-

for me to change my life.

And, um, you know, uh...

if I've been successful

at it in the way I'd like-

I don't know,

but-but it's the way it happened...

and it's the way it's-

it's still happening.

My question is...

if God has one message-

his most important

message to all of us-

and you could put it in one paragraph,

what would it be?

Well, I could fit it

into five words.

"You've got me all wrong. "

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good night.

Neale! Neale! Neale!

Neale! Neale! Neale!

Neale! Neale! Neale!

Here's your plane ticket.

You're on the 10:00.

Thanks for everything,

and I'll see you in New York.

- Still nothing, huh?

- I'm trying, honey.

You could have fooled me. Look,

I don't get this. I've got experience-

Your experience has nothing to do

with anything. And we've

been over this, Neale.

As long as that bow

tie's around your neck...

nobody's going to take

a chance on hiring you.

Really?

So, what is it exactly...

that you people do around here?

Mostly we hand out checks to people

who blame us for their problems.

Sorry.

What did the hospital say?

Well, they said I should start

feeling better in a few days...

but, uh, it's been

almost a month now.

Wow. They seem

to have missed something.

- What?

- Neale...

you have a broken neck.

Mr. Walsch, it's Michael.

Come on, Mr. Walsch.

I know you're in there.

No, I'm not.

You're three months behind on your rent.

I told you. I lost my-

- Your job.

- Job, yeah.

Yes, I know. And I'm sorry

about your accident, Neale.

But I'm not gonna lose my job

because you lost yours.

Come on. I'm out there.

Every day, I am.

I'm trying.

Isn't there someone you can call?

No. Those calls were made

a long time ago.

I mean, I got-

I got nowhere to go.

5:
00, Neale.

Okay, who's ready for bed?

I'm coming in there.

I hope you got your RJ. 's on.

Brush your teeth?

Yes? How about you?

Did you brush your teeth?

Oh, looks to me like

somebody had an extra cookie.

Am I gonna have to tickle you

to get you to go upstairs?

I'm gonna get you

Hurry up.

- Come on.

- You're doing it wrong!

It's the way I did it

on the other side!

Nope.

That don't go there.

You're doing it wrong.

Let me show you how to do it.

- That's not what the instructions say.

- Nope. That don't go there.

Let me show you how to do it.

Tie the line to the tree.

Make it high enough...

so you don't kill yourself

in the middle of the night.

I kind of wish I had

one of those old canvas jobs...

that you pitch from the inside!

I take it this isn't

your first time pitching a...

tent.

Please, God...

don't let me die here.

To God,

there is no separation...

between financial abundance

and spirituality.

In fact, they go hand in hand.

Don't you find it odd

that we live...

in a society that devalues

our most important jobs?

- What do you mean by that?

- I mean, we have no problem...

giving a football coach

five million a season...

or-or an actor

10 million per movie...

but somehow we've got it wired...

where people involved

with spirituality...

should be penniless,

celibate and-and abstinent.

And preferably all three, you know?

- Yeah. Right.

- I mean, I don't know about you...

but I-I don't- I don't remember

voting for any of that.

- No.

- So imagine a world...

where money was given

to people who give us the biggest gifts.

- Teachers.

- Oh, yes.

- Artists.

- Yes.

- Nurses.

- Yes.

Uh, firemen.

You know, policemen.

Writers.

And mothers!

Mothers. That's right.

Yes.

People who connect us,

not disconnect...
