Neale Donald Walsh's Little Book of Life

your life has nothing to do with you. And that might change your whole idea about what you're doing here. And your life has nothing to do with your body. That also might change your whole idea about what you're doing here. Your life has to do with the agenda that has been set for you by you, by that part of you that we've come to call, in our language, your soul.

There would be no pain when my lover left me if I've discovered the beauty and the wonder of who I am

Live authentically. Live your truth. And if you love me for anything, love me because I live mine

there's no power struggle when there's no struggle over power. There's simply each person—or at least one of the two (because it takes two to tango)—there's simply each person removing themselves from the struggle, and returning to the place of their own power, by allowing themselves to be, do, and have what they choose, without making the other person wrong about it.

You know, you can do as you wish. And I have to tell you that it doesn't feel good over here for you to spend three weekends out of four away from me, and away from this home. And it's okay if you want to do that, but I want you to know what I'm going to do if you continue that over a long period. I'm going to find someone else to spend my weekends with.

Choose what you're choosing. Choose to smoke. Choose whatever you're choosing, and I'll choose what I'm choosing.

we proceed to construct a marriage institution and a marriage experience which produces exactly the opposite of that—virtually the lowest form of love of which humans are capable. A love that possesses rather than releases. A love that limits rather than expands. A love that owns rather than disowns. A love that makes virtually everything around it smaller rather than making everything around it larger.

I do not limit you. There is no condition that makes it okay for us to remain together. I do not have any desire to cause you to be less in your expression of yourself, in any way. Indeed, what this marriage is intended to do, this new form of marriage, is to fuel the engine of your experience—the experience of who you really are and who you choose to be

Love never says no

I define and, in that sense, re-create who I am in relationship to Who You Are.
