Neale Donald Walsh

World Renown Author Conversations with God Lecture -

Unity Church of Phoenix March 8, 2001, 800 in attendance.

Quoted below are Neale Walsh's comments immediately following Renée Morgan Brooks' opening performance of "Human Heart", by Ahrens & Flaherty and "Imagine", by John Lennon.

"Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my! Somebody asked me the other day, what was my definition of hell? Then I couldn't think of an answer, but I just thought of one. Hell is trying to follow that!

She doesn't sing the song, she .... What? ... she is, she is the song. That's it! A vibrant living example of the opportunity that life brings to us, to not just to do it but to be it, to be it, to move into a being that is so real, so rich & so authentic and so true that we understand the idea of unity.

That we understand the idea of unity, that we understand what unity is experientially not conceptually. That it is in fact no longer an idea, but an experience. That's what just happened here. An experience of unity between the singer and the song and all of us. And we know when we've had an experience like that. No one has to say anything. We just get it. We just know, 'uh oh, uh oh, wait a minute something's going on here. Something going on here something larger than normal is going on here'. ..."

He ended the lecture with the following quote:

"...Ladies and gentlemen, I had not intended to give this talk tonite, on all that's holy, I had a whole different talk - a much better one in mind for you tonite. But I saw this incredible person up here. And I saw her grab this microphone and before she even uttered a note, just the way she held the space & took the stage, I said uh oh, magic is about to happen. There's magic in this place. There's God, there's Goddess energy in this place, watch this now! And then she did what she did because we're all doing something but her doing ness was not an attempt to get someplace, her doing ness was a rich and real and authentic announcement that she was already there, before she stepped out here. And when I saw that happen, I said thank you very much there's my talk tonite. Because I saw a vivid demonstration of it right in front of my face."
