Neale Donald Walsch Conversations with Humanity
OMTimes: What is our reason for being here?
NDW: As I understand it, we are here on Earth to do more than just live and die and make the best of the experience. We are here to advance a larger agenda. We are here to move forward an eternal evolutionary process in which our soul is involved. It is a process through which each individual soul experiences its true identity fully, and by which Life Itself expands its expression to reflect the wonder of its ultimate and true nature.
OMTimes: What is the ‘true identity’ of the soul?
NDW: I have been told that the soul is the individuated aspect of Divinity Itself, and that its purpose through physical life is to express and to experience Divinity at the next highest level, in a constantly escalating spiral.
OMTimes: If this is true, why do we have to do this? It seems like such a monumental and never- ending task.
NDW: We don’t ‘have to’ do it. Nothing is required of us in this or any other lifetime.
OMTimes: You’re saying we don’t ‘have to’ do this? We don’t ‘have to’ strive for Divinity being expressed through us?
NDW: Divinity is expressed through you no matter what you do. It is impossible for you not to express Divinity, since Divinity is Who You Are. It is simply a matter of how you want to define Divinity in This Moment, Now.
Put another way, God is what you say God is, by how you are being in any given situation or circumstance. As Conversations with God says, “Every act is an act of self-definition.” And Life Itself, throughout the multiple universes, is God in the act of defining Itself as it wishes to know Itself through the here-and-now expression of Itself.
