He has since written 12 other works including two sequels, both of which also made the bestseller list and were translated into 34 languages, touching millions of people worldwide and inspiring important changes in day-to-day lives.

Walsch became a catalyst for the formation of an international movement based on the books' responses to fundamental questions such as "is this as good as it gets?" and "why is the world in the state it's in?". Over 15,000 people in more than 90 nations joined together to form Humanity's Team, which invites mankind to recreate itself with this idea at its heart: We Are All One. The philosophy of the books has revolutionized the way in which many once agnostic, or atheist people now view spirituality and the movement is centered on an inclusive and non-sectarian approach to life. It has also inspired many who were disenchanted with traditional churches and the rivalry between different religions. New Zealand's Humanity's Team was founded in 2003 and has members throughout the country.

Now, Walsch is launching a compelling tour entitled 'Around the World in Oneness'. It is debuting at the Ellerslie Event Centre in Auckland on 22nd March 2007. Wellington follows on the 24 March at the Michael Fowler Centre. It will then travel to a further 11 countries in six continents around the globe.

The tour has the aim of inviting support for the collective recognition of the concept We Are All One. The tour will include a day long festival, a child/youth event and, workshops and evenings talks with Neale Donald Walsch. The festival will provide a platform for collaboration with many organizations, movements and individuals who share their vision and goals and wish to actively participate in the promotion of a solution to today's planetary crisis.

Over the next five years the 'World Oneness Campaign' will reach out to many different organizations, both local and international, including the United Nations, and ask for support for a global principle of We Are All One. "Politics is spirituality demonstrated," comments Walsch.

"I believe that this grassroots citizens' movement can mark the start of a massive shift in global consciousness and a renewal of the collective determination of millions of people to bring an end to the growing divisiveness, conflict, and violence on our planet, and to bring the world closer," says Walsch, adding that at the event he will answer the question he is asked more often than any other: "What can I do to make the world a better place?"
