what I call "humanity's dilemma." It seems to me that nothing we are doing is working. Our political systems clearly are not working. Our economic systems clearly are not working. Our ecological systems clearly are not working. Our health care systems clearly are not working. Our educational systems clearly are not working. Our social systems clearly are not working. And saddest of all, our spiritual systems clearly are not working. Nothing that we have created to produce a better life for all of us is producing that outcome for the largest number of people. In fact, it is worse than that. They are actually producing exactly the opposite. It is time to arouse humanity from its slumber. There is obviously something we don't understand, both about life and about God, the understanding of which would change everything. I have catalogued what I consider to be humanity's major misunderstandings in my latest book, Conversations with God-Book 4: Awaken the Species. I offer seven tools for integrating the behaviors of fully awakened beings into an average person's daily life. Perhaps the most startling assertion of my new book, however, is not about current human behaviors, but t he behaviors of ext rat errest rial beings-who I am convinced not onl y exist , but are act ivel y working t o The problems facing humanity today are spiritual problems, and they can only be resolved by taking a long, hard look at what it is we all believe Neal e D onal d W al sch hel p t he peopl e of Eart h grow in t heir underst anding. My book includes a list of what I believe are sixteen crucial differences in behavior between what I describe as "Highly Evolved Beings living in an awakened state" and those human beings who are not. I understand that such an assertion will meet with skepticism at best, and derision in some quarters for sure. Still, I think most people now accept that we are not alone in the cosmos, and most would be comforted to know that benevolent beings are seeking to help us move forward in our evolutionary process. Yet if such beings are helping, one might ask, why is our planet now facing crisis after crisis, with terrorism destroying lives, economic dreams being shattered, and unpredictable political upheaval emerging everywhere? In my view, the fact that these conditions exist make this the perfect time for our advancement. They comprise the storm before the calm, their severity serving to shake humanity from its complacency, awakening us to what now urgently needs to be done if we are to keep the promise of our potential. I was told all of this in my latest conversations with God, a communication with the Divine that I believe all people are having all the time. Most people are simply calling it something else. A moment of inspiration, perhaps. A sudden insight. A wonderful or brilliant idea. An intuitive sense. Some have even labeled such moments an epiphany. People will call it whatever they have to call it to get away with sharing their experience without having to claim that God spoke
