<p><strong>The Conversations With God Giveaway has closed</strong>. I&#8217;d like to congratulate <strong>Steven Labella</strong> of San Diego, California, <strong>Kirk Ray</strong> of Florida, and <strong>Ryan Brenny</strong> of Hilo, Hawaii. They each won a brand new copy of &#8220;Conversations With God.&#8221;</p>
<p>“I am not concerned about your worldly success – only you are. You are not to worry about making a living. True masters are those that have chosen to make a life, not a living. Go ahead, do whatever you really love. Do nothing else. You have so little time. Why would you want to waste it doing something you don’t want to do? That isn’t a living – it’s a <em>dying</em>.” – <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nealedonaldwalsch.com/index.php?p=About">Neale Donald Walsch</a>, &#8220;Conversations With God&#8221;</p>
<p>The above quote is one of my favorites from the film and it brings us to the second Wind of the Soul giveaway. In this second installment, I’m giving three brand new DVD copies of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K7VHY6?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=seasofshad-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B000K7VHY6">Conversations With God</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=seasofshad-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B000K7VHY6" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> to three separate winners. </p>
<p>The film, directed by the Co-founder of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.spiritualcinemacircle.com">Spiritual Cinema Circle</a>, was meant to be a screen adaptation of the series of best selling books by the same name. Though the movie doesn’t represent the unfolding of the books – it does impart much of the same spiritual wisdom, as we follow Neale (played by Henry Czerny) through some extremely turbulent experiences. </p>
<p>Neale, like so many of us, prior to discovering the connection to his own divine nature, unconsciously battles his way through life. He has to scrape rock bottom before discovering the inner knowledge, which leads him out of the depths of his despair. And, that’s why this movie is so endearing to me. Granted, it has some very sad and depressing sequences, but the ultimate realization and self-awakening is what’s so inspirational.<br />
<span id="more-174"></span><br />
Whether or not Neale was/is truly conversing with “God” in a verifiable way is a nonissue for me. If we are capable of quieting the mind and recognizing the creative, energetic, consciousness which flows through us, then in essence we are all conversing constantly with our own inner god or goddess. It’s up to us what we choose to do with those conversations. Neale chose to apply them in a manner which created benefit and value in his own life as well as the lives of millions of others.</p>
<p>Each of us has the same option. It’s up to us if we wish to allow it to work toward that which is most beneficial and advantageous for ourselves and humankind. This shouldn’t be motivated by or stem from a standpoint of following a contrived set of rules, but rather from the perspective of feeling for the inner dialogue which is most fulfilling, loving, nurturing, uplifting and translating it into action. To me, that’s what conversing with god and living life as creative, expansive beings is all about.</p>
<p>I wish all the best to everyone who enters. <img src='http://windofthesoul.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
