The 25 Core Messages of Conversations with God are summarized in the One Thousand Word Statement of Eternal Truth found in the Top Of Page story now running on the Home Page. Please read them there, and accept our invitation to join the Civil Rights Movement for the Soul.

The website you are currently visiting is an outgrow of the writing in the book The Storm Before the Calm, in which you have been invited to co-author a New Cultural Story for Humanity. That book is now being posted here, one chapter at a time. (See First Installment, below). It is important that you read this if you wish to become part of the Civil Rights Movement for the Soul.

THE STORM BEFORE THE CALM

Chapter One

My dear, dear friends…my wonderful companions on this human journey…

I’m so glad that you’re here, and I hope that your answer to the question just above is yes, because it’s very important that you hear this: We’re experiencing something quite extraordinary on the earth right now. I’m going to give it a name here.

We are experiencing The Overhaul of Humanity.

This is not an exaggeration. This is reality. It is observable at every turn.

Yet here is something that is not so observable: Things are not as they seem.

And I think, before the world and its people get too far along this road, we all need to be aware of that.

We also need to be aware that there’s nothing to be afraid of in our future if we will all but play our role in creating it. And that role—the role we are being invited to play by Life Itself—is going to be very easy to play.

I have more that I want to share with you around all this. Let me give you a summary of everything I have come here to say:

* A major shift is occurring on our planet

* There is nothing to be afraid of if we all play our role in this shift

* Our role is easy to play, and it can actually be fun

* It involves having fabulous conversations revolving around seven simple questions

* The asking and answering of these questions can result in the creating of solutions to humanity’s biggest problems

* It is time for us to place before humanity a New Cultural Story, sending us in brand new directions in politics, economics, culture, education, relationships, work, marriage, sexuality, parenting, and every area of human endeavor; a manifesto created by all of us, working as co-authors.

* There are some exciting opening thoughts about what that document could contain that I think you should hear.

Oh, and I don’t want to talk with you just about “world conditions” or “the global situation” or “our planetary crisis.” As important as those topics are, I’m clear that the Overhaul of Humanity is overhauling each of us. One look at how much has changed in your life in the past three years will tell you that.

So I’d like to have some exchanges with you as well about easing any struggle or negativity that may be present in your own personal life.

Okay, there you have it. The whole agenda. Can we talk?

###

The Overhaul of Humanity is not a small thing. The words I’ve used to describe this phenomenon are dramatic because the event is dramatic.

It is going to involve (indeed, it is already involving) every aspect of our lives: our governance and politics, our economics and financial stability, our commerce and industry, our social conventions and constructions, our educational systems and approaches, our religions and beliefs, our customs and traditions—in fact, our entire Cultural Story.

We can participate in the Overhaul of Humanity or we can merely witness it—but we cannot stop it. Nor would we want to.

This can be the greatest thing that has happened to our species since our appearance on this planet. The years just ahead, and some of the trials and tribulations we’re going to see, can bring our planet to a new and wonderful place when the process is complete. And the process will be complete in a relatively short period of time.

And you can help bring about that completion if you choose to.

 You don’t have to simply read this

Life is inviting you to not have this be a book that you simply read. Life is inviting you to have this be an experience in which you participate. This is your opportunity to join me and others from around the world in the conversation that is being initiated here. You may do so at any time by simply stopping your reading, marking your place, then getting on the Internet and navigating to…

www.TheGlobalConversation.com

There, click on the icon labeled The Storm Before The Calm. Find and post any comment you wish at the numbered “Conversation” you’re currently reading. (You’ll notice that this book is not broken down into “Chapters,” but rather, into “Conversations.”)

At this special website there’s also a separate icon inviting you to post your ideas, your thoughts, your concepts, and your inspirations regarding the contents of Humanity’s New Cultural Story. It is for this purpose that you have come to this material.

If you are like many others, you have long been asking, “What can I do? How can I help to make things better?” This is an answer to that question.

The New Cultural Story co-created here by adding your insights and inspirations and heartfelt hopes and dreams for our world will be placed before humanity in a separate book: Our Collective Dream: A New Cultural Story for Humanity. This will be a book read around the world, and a book that you co-author.

So what you are reading now is not an ordinary text. This is your gateway to participation in what I am clear could very well be The Conversation of the Century. Your voice is valuable and needed in this exchange, in order that the exchange itself may sparkle with the vitality of a wide variety of ideas, insights, and visions. So do, please, consider interacting with this book, as well as reading it, yes?

 POINTS I HOPE YOU WILL REMEMBER…

* A major shift is occurring on our planet.

ACTION I HOPE YOU WILL TAKE…

* Check out the website that has been specially created to allow the conversation that has been started here to continue. Go to  www.TheGlobalConversation.com and see what you think.

* Return to that website any time during your reading of this book that you see something you want to discuss further. Create your own Topic Board if you don’t find the subject you wish to discuss already being explored there.

============================

End of Chapter. Now, a Note from Neale…Portions of this website referred to in the above opening chapter of The Storm Before the Calm have been temporarily moved to the background of this site. These icons will be brought forward again in the near future. In the meantime, you are invited to continue reading the book here day-by-day, and offer any input you wish to make in the Comments Section under this posting. Thank you for your interest in helping us all to create a New Cultural Story for Humanity.
