Personally, if I was earning loads upon loads of cash, for a spiritual venture, I would expect the world to be critical of me. I would *expect* people to be angry with me. It would be different, if I was earning a normal wage, but *of course* people would be angry with me for earning loads of money for something that I actually enjoy doing, which is spiritually fulfilling to me. Why would they be mad?
I'll tell you why; because most of the normal people are so used to doing work that they can't stand to earn their keep, that someone who actually does something they enjoy, they simply envy. That said, I was pissed off with Neale for charging $50 just to listen to one of his talks when he visited Australia-the promotion of his movie I believe. Then again, I was on such a low income at the time for being a university student, $50 for me was a fortune, when it would cost me just $15 at the most to see a normal movie.
I am personally a bit frustrated with the fact that Neale has decided to stop writing CWG books, as to be honest, he was VERY good at that, he was very good at writing dialogues with "God" that looked at the contemporary issues facing society in an open, and honest way. I guess even if I never fully trusted Neale, I do trust the "God" that he speaks to. If I ever end up in Neale's shoes, I say this; look upon everything I say with an open mind, look at me critically, and don't be afraid to attack every single argument I make from every possible angle. That *is* what the message of CWG was about, wasn't it? Being encouraged to think for ourselves, and come to our own conclusions? (Yes, I thought so)
Oh well, even if Neale doesn't plan on writing dialogs that deal with contemporary issues...the rest of us certainly can. To trust myself, above all others...now that would be something...
