(2) Background of "Conversations with God"
In the spring of 1992 he was very unhappy during that period, personally, professionally, and emotionally, and his life was feeling like a failure on all levels.
He picked up his trusty yellow legal pad and began pouring out his feelings as he had been in the habit for years of writing his thoughts down in letters.
He decided to write a letter including a pile of angry questions to God.
Why wasn't his life working? Why could he not find happiness in relationships? What had he done to deserve a life of such continuing struggle? And so on.
After writing it, he prepared to toss his pen aside, his hand remained poised over the paper, as if held there by some invisible force.
Abruptly, the pen began moving on its own.
God inspired Neale to make a list of the questions that occurred to him.
1. When will my life finally take off? What does it take to "get it together," and achieve even a modicum of success? Can the struggle ever end?
2. When will I learn enough about relationships to be able to have them go smoothly? Is there any way to be happy in relationships?
Must they always be constantly challenging?
3. Why can't I ever seem to attract enough money in my life? Am I destined to be scrimping and scraping for the rest of my life? What is blocking me from realizing my full potential in this regard?
4. Why can't I do what I really want to do with my life and still make a living?
5. How can I solve some of the health problems I face? I have been the victim of enough chronic problems to last a lifetime. Why am I having them all now.
6. What is the karmic lesson I'm supposed to be learning here? What am I trying to master?
7. Is there such a thing as reincarnation? How many past lives have I had? What was I in them? Is "karmic debt" a reality?
8. I sometimes feel very psychic. Is there such a thing as "being psychic"? Am I that? Are people who claim to be psychic "trafficking with the devil"?
9. Is it okay to take money for doing good? If I choose to do healing work in the world―God's work―can I do that and become financially abundant, too? Or are the two mutually exclusive?
10. Is sex okay? C'mon―what is the real story behind this human experience? Is sex purely for procreation, as some religions say? Is true holiness and enlightenment achieved through denial―or transmutation―of the sexual energy? Is it okay to have sex without love? Is just the physical sensation of it okay enough as a reason?
11. Why did you make sex so good, so spectacular, so powerful a human experience if all we are to do is stay away from it as much as we can? What gives? For that matter, why are all fun things either "immoral, illegal, or fattening"?
12. Is there life on other planets? Have we been visited by it? Are we being observed now? Will we see evidence―irrevocable and indisputable―of extraterrestrial life in our lifetime? Does each form of life have its own God? Are you the God of It All?
13. Will Utopia ever come to the planet Earth? Will God ever show Himself to Earth's people, as promised? Is there such a thing as the Second Coming? Will there ever be an End of the World―or an apocalypse, as prophesied in the Bible? Is there a one true religion? If so, which one?
"Conversations with God (CWG)" began in such a way that God answered according to the list of his questions. And throughout the whole CWG series, God answered all the questions.
