Neale tells us:
✓ How the Purpose of a Relationship is to give and Experience Who You Really Are.
✓ How One of the Illusions of Humanity is the Idea that Need Exists.
✓ How We Are Demonstrating in the World Right Now, that We Have Forgotten Who We Really Are?
✓ Why We Keep Forgetting there is Nothing More Important than Your State of Consciousness and Your Connection with God.
✓ How Once You Know that You Cannot Cease to Exist, You No Longer Have any Fear of Death.
✓ Why Some People Are Living in Joyfulness and Others Are Not.
✓ And How To Know What Your Calling in Life is.
Neale Donald Walsch was born into a Polish American family, and brought up as a Roman Catholic by parents who encouraged his quest for spiritual truth. He informally studied comparative theology for many years. He says it would be inaccurate to describe his books as having been channelled, but rather, that they are inspired by God, “even as other authors, artists, composers and poets throughout human history have been inspired by God.” He says that he could hear God talking to him as if God stood right beside him, and that he hoped the messages he received can help a person relate to God from a modern perspective.
The God in his books, for example, says that “there is nothing you have to do.” This does not mean that there is nothing that you will do in your life, but that there is nothing you are required to do. Walsch believes in a God who is non-judgmental, unconditionally loving, and in no way “other than,” or separate from us.
Walsch's vision is an expansion and unification of all present theologies to render them more relevant to our present day and time. He founded Humanity's Team, a spiritual movement whose purpose is to communicate and implement CWG’s New Spirituality messages --- particularly that we are all one with God and one with life, in a shared global state of being. This state is experienced, Walsch argues, by the simple act of helping other people: “The fastest way to experience anything in your life --- love, companionship, understanding, patience, wisdom, etc. --- is to be the cause of other people experiencing it.” He says his Conversations with God encouraged him to “Be The Source of that which you wish to receive.” This, he says, is simply a contemporary rephrasing of the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have it done unto you.
Media appearances by Neale Donald Walsch include many widely viewed television programs, such as Larry King Live on CNN and The TODAY Show on NBC. A film was made about his life, called Conversations with God, directed by Stephen Simon and starring Henry Czerny. His has appeared in movies and documentary films, including an acting role as the male lead in Indigo (directed by Stephen Simon), and as writer and narrator of the documentary, iGOD. Other film appearances include:
He is the author of nine books in the Conversations with God dialogue series. They are: Conversations With God (Books 1–4), Friendship with God, Communion with God, The New Revelations, Tomorrow's God, and Home with God in a Life That Never Ends.
Described by some as a modern-day spiritual messenger, his work has touched the lives of millions. He has written twenty-nine other books on contemporary spirituality in the twenty five years since he reported having an experience in which he felt the presence of The Divine, began writing questions to God on a yellow legal pad, and received answers in a process that he describes as exactly like taking dictation. The nine-part Conversations with God series that emerged has been published in every major language of the world.
Mr. Walsch has told his readers and the media—which has brought global attention to his experience—that everyone is having conversations with God all the time, and that the question is not: To whom does God talk? The question is: Who listens?
He says his whole life has been changed as a result of his own decision to listen. He took notes on the questions in his heart and the answers he was receiving, so that he would always remember his exchanges with Deity. It wasn't until later that he realized he was being invited to place these words into the world, as one of many throughout history who have made their very best effort to hear and to articulate God's messages.
He knows that everyone is receiving these messages, and invites all people everywhere to both share them and live them as best they can, for Neale believes the world would change overnight if only a fraction of its people embraced what he has been told is God’s most important message of all: You’ve got me all wrong

Ivor tells us:
✓ How Seeking Happiness is the Sure Way Not To Be Happy.
✓ How One of The Root Causes of Mental Illness is Lack of Love of the Self.
✓ How We Are on The Verge of Real Break Throughs with The Expansion of Consciousness.
✓ How the Definition of Insanity is Doing The Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting a Different Result.
✓ How Weeping and Crying Are Actually One of The Ways We Heal.
✓ And How No Real Change Can Happen Until Each Person Works on Themselves.
As Chief Psychiatrist for the Eastern Health Board Ivor tried to reform the Irish mental health system but faced enormous opposition from those who couldn't accept his unorthodox methods. He mistrusted traditional psychiatry's dependence on drugs;
It was Ivor who stood by Ross Hamilton and his mother Phyllis when Fr. Michael Cleary's family, friends and Church abandoned them and refused to believe they were Cleary's family. Ross calls him 'a life saver'. "If he didn't speak out for us back then maybe no one would have taken us seriously at all." Ivor suffered the consequences from the Medical Council for taking such a stand.

Christina tells us:
✓ How she is not bitter and angry about the things that happened to her and how she overcame them.
✓ How when her brother came to find her at the convent and he was told she was dead.
✓ How she had cancer and fought through it.
✓ How you can hate the world and society and blame everybody or you use your terrible experiences in a very constructive way in the world.
✓ How she is a big lover of Barry's tea and Cork in Ireland.
✓ And how she will never regret the road that she took because over 700,000 kids have their life back in real terms.
Christina Noble is the founder and driving force behind the Christina Noble Children's Foundation. Christina's passion for children's rights is rooted in her own upbringing. She knows what it's like to be young, homeless and desperate. Born in Ireland into the slums of Dublin on 23 December 1944, she and five siblings were raised by their mother while their father frittered away what little money the family had on drinking in pubs.
The death of her mother when Christina was 10 years old brought about the separation of Christina and her three younger siblings, as they
were all sent to different orphanages. Christina spent four desperate years in the west of Ireland in an institution being led to believe that her brothers and sisters were dead. Her escape brought her to Phoenix Park in Dublin where she slept in a park in a hole in the ground she’d dug herself.
At the age of 18 Christina ran away to England to be with her older brother. This is where she met and married her husband and had three children.
It was during particularly low ebb in her life around 1971 that she had a dream about Vietnam.
"I don't know why I dreamed about Vietnam; perhaps it was because the country was so much in the news at the time. In the dream, naked
Vietnamese children were running down a dirt road fleeing from a napalm bombing. The ground under the children was cracked and coming apart and the children were reaching to me. One of the girls had a look in her eyes that implored me to pick her up and protect her and take her to safety. Above the escaping children was a brilliant white light that contained the word 'Vietnam'."
This was a dream which she would one day triumphantly fulfil, albeit 20 years later. In 1989, with the goal to assist children in need, Christina arrived in Vietnam.
“My decision was made. Here, my dream, my destiny, would be fulfilled. Here the pain and the sorrow and the anger of my childhood in
Ireland would be resolved. I would work with the street children of Ho Chi Minh City. I would work with the ill and the unwanted, with the lonely and the misbegotten, with the throwaway children of this war torn country. I would work with the children who were living as I had so long ago in Dublin”.
An award film, written and directed by Stephen Bradley, NOBLE tells the true story of a funny, feisty and courageous, Christina Noble, who overcomes a harsh childhood to find her destiny on the streets of Saigon, fourteen years after the end of the war. The film captures the drama of a life that has culminated in Christina Noble helping almost a million street-children and their families in Vietnam and Mongolia.
The Christina Noble Children’s Foundation is an international partnership of people dedicated to serving children in need of emergency and long-term medical care, nutritional rehabilitation, educational opportunities, vocational training and job placement, as well as children at risk of sexual and economic exploitation. The Foundation seeks to maximise the potential of each child. This is accomplished within the context of the family and the community whenever possible and always with love and respect for the dignity of each child as an individual.
The Foundation is involved in numerous activities including medical care, educational assistance, community development, water tank provision, establishing and developing educational & medical facilities, revolving loan programmes, emergency assistance to children and their families, and shelters for all disadvantaged and street children, to name a few.
Since inception, Christina's Foundation has established 120 projects and impacted the lives of over 700,000 of the poorest, most vulnerable children and their families in Vietnam and Mongolia.
Christina still remains the principal driving force and inspiration and retains close personal contact with the children.

Richard tells us:
✓ How His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet said to Richard that he is his hero, and that he is a wonderful son of humanity.
✓ How he lost his sight when he was 10 years old because of a rubber bullet which was shot at him.
✓ What his experience was like growing up with no sight in Derry and how he learned to accept his blindness and turn it around to a positive experience.
✓ How he learned two things about forgiveness when he finally met the soldier who shot him.
✓ What is the purpose of forgiveness.
✓ And how sometimes people get justice but they are no happier at the end of it.
You’re my hero”, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet told Richard Moore, founder and Director of Children in Crossfire when they met on 17th July 2007 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Children in Crossfire. Gripping Richards hand the spiritual leader of the Tibetan Buddhists said” Whether you believe it or not, you are my hero, and a wonderful son of humanity.
In 1972, aged 10 whilst on his way home from school, Richard Moore, the founder of Children in Crossfire, was blinded by a rubber bullet fired at point blank range into his face in Derry, Northern Ireland. Amazingly, from childhood to the present day, he has never allowed bitterness to stunt his development. “I have learned to see life in a different way”, is how he describes his remarkable acceptance of what, for most, would be a debilitating trauma.
In 1996 he felt the need to harness all that he had learned and put it at the service of humanity, particularly children around the world who have been caught in the crossfire of poverty.
The story of Children in Crossfire has its roots in what began as a tragedy and ended as a triumph of the human spirit to overcome adversity. Since 1996 Children in Crossfire has supported projects in Africa, Asia and South America.
