STORIES WANTED

It's been a year and a half since the CD, "Forever with God" was released.  On the CD Donna
Corso (Neale's personal assistant) reads selections from Neale's latest CwG book, Home with
God, accompanied by the beautiful music of Stephen Pike.  Many people have been inspired by
the CD which presents a new way of looking at the life transition we call death.  So Donna is
planning to write a future book about the continuity of life and is looking for stories to include in
it.  You are invited to submit your personal stories about the following topics:

(1)   NDEs (Have you had a near-death or near-death-like experience?)
(2)   OBEs (Have you had an out-of-body experience?)
(3)   Conscious Dying (Have you had a friend or relative go through his/her dying process
consciously?)

Please send your stories to Donna Corso at walschoffice@aol.com  (with the
subject line "STORY")   
Or mail to her at:  1257 Siskiyou Boulevard, PMB #130, Ashland, Oregon  97520.

Be sure to include all of your contact information (name, address, email address, phone numbers,
etc.)  If your story is selected, she will contact you for a possible interview and for your
permission to use all or part of your story. Your name will not be used unless you give
permission.
