That’s not what your soul wants

August 6, 2026

“But it still seems misleading since it suggests that you can win the lottery by wishing for it.”

Not by wishing for it—that’s not what Walsch wrote down.

“He says ‘wanting it badly enough.’”

But don’t you see?  That’s not what your soul wants.  If it did, per impossibile, it would win it.  But it doesn’t, because your soul has no true desire for such things.

“But, Lord, don’t You see how misleading the statement is?  It certainly will be read as wish-fulfillment.”

Then it’s a mistake.  That is not what I meant.  People want God’s will to conform to theirs.  Others try to conform their will to God’s.  But, at root, the two are the same.  The goal is to get to the point that you surface your true will, which will coincide with God’s.  Remember that I want what is good for you.  I do not have some arbitrary plan and then demand obedience to it.  I want nothing other than your fulfillment.  That is what you want too.

 

Stop Being Simple-Minded

“That still doesn’t mean you can do anything.”

Give Me an example.

I started to describe the case of a woman I know who has very strong convictions and great force of will, and yet often fails to achieve her goals.

No, (give Me an instance) from your own life.

“Just winning a tennis game, for example.”

Give me a break.  (A) You always have mixed thoughts in those situations and (B) I said you can’t alter physical laws.  If you completely wanted to win at tennis and believed you could, you would practice, exercise, and so forth.  When I say you can do anything, I don’t mean that you don’t have to take the necessary steps.  Napoleon was charismatic but he still had to train troops, plan logistics, and so on.  Stop being simple-minded.  You are fixating on a single meaning of “you can do anything” and trying to rebut it.  Instead, think about what meaning could be true.  It certainly does not mean wish-fulfillment.  Think about it.
