Example Quote by Neale Donald Walsch
“Each of us has a Soul. But no one has stopped to tell us what the Soul is in the world to do. Or if they have told us, they've given us incomplete information - for example, that our job is to get back to God. That is not our job. We couldn't get back to God if we wanted to, because we never left God.”

![“People are saying that they want be convinced [about global warming], perfectly. They want to know the climate science projections with 100 per cent certainty.
