Freedom is the basic nature of God. It is also the basic nature of the human soul.
Without freedom all is lost both physically and spiritually. How can we be shackled in our quest for spiritual truth and prevail? We must pray, we must inspire and we must be. I am freedom so therefore I am free.

Grief
Grief is a natural emotion. It's that part of you which allows you to say goodbye when you don't want to say goodbye; to express–push out, propel–the sadness within you at the experience of any kind of loss.
Conversations With God Book 3
Even today I grieve for the family members, and friends who have gone on...but by grieving I let go so that both of us can continue our journey's...knowing one day we shall rejoice in each others company. If I truly believe in what I say I believe in then. That there is no death as we are led to believe at least in the way we have been taught.

Anger
Anger is a natural emotion. It is the tool you have which allows you to say, "No thank you." It does not have to be abusive, and it never has to be damaging to another.
Conversations With God Book 3
The concept of anger I grew to know was damaging and abusive I used it as my secret weapon to attack and destroy.

God's Forgiveness
My dear friends...
Ever since I was a little child I knew that we were not supposed to be afraid of God. Yet everything and everyone around me was telling me the opposite (except, bless her, my Mother).
I grew up in the Catholic Church, and that will give a 7-year-old something to think about, I can tell you. Each night I would recite a prayer that I was taught, that filled my heart with fear:
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.
I was trained to go to Confession every Saturday---and not to miss under any circumstances...because if I missed, I might die with a sin on my soul, and then I might not be able to get into heaven...
This is not something that a 9-year-old should be worrying about, but there you have it. And Old Habits are hard to break. It isn't only 9-year-olds who worry about dying with sins on their soul and not being able to "get into heaven."
This week, a heartbreaking letter came to me, and I want to share it with you now, along with my answer...so that we can put to rest forever the question of whether and how God is going to "get" us if we are "sinners."
Here's the letter...
Dear Neale...My Father gave me your book after he was done reading it, this is when your book Conversations with God, first came out. My dad began a spiritual journey after that he read everything from Allen Richards to Valentin and Essene. I was just giving you examples of my Dad's journey.
My father died 4 yrs ago and left me all his books, I have not read them only your first book. im 45 in 1992 i was diagnosed with cancer. In `93 I went through radiation treatments every day for six weeks in my upper chest area. i found out later that i was pregnant. i was also a drinker (i have been sober now for 9 yrs). i am catholic and i had an abortion. i read your book but i remember praying in that room as i was disrobing. i felt like i had to leave but i was a stupid drunk and i cannot to this day forgive myself. i dont go to church but i pray to God and Jesus and Angels for forgiveness to this day.
If we are just souls that keep moving, am I not going to ever see Heaven? I love you. Thank you for writing to me. God bless Us All!
My dear friend...If you are Catholic then you must remember the story of Jesus turning to the Thief on the cross beside him. "On this very day, you shall be with me in Heaven."
My dearest child, Conversations with God makes it very clear that God does not judge, condemn, and "punish" us for anything. Every soul returns to God in Perfect Form, which is what it always has been. Your very prayer to God to forgive you is a statement of your Soul's deepest feeling, truth, and desire. God would not ignore this because of something that occurred in your life.
It is important to remember that there are no victims and no villains in the world, and that all of us are doing the best we can in every moment. I believe it was the poet Maya Angelou who said, "When we know better, we do better." That is profoundly true.
The Soul of the one you chose not to birth took part in this co-creation with you. No one creates alone. The term "alone" has no meaning in Ultimate Reality. You can do nothing alone, but only in concert with other Aspects of Divinity that we call "Souls." The Soul of the one you chose not to birth chose that with you. Why? We cannot know. But...we can offer a possible insight. Perhaps that Little Soul chose to co-create with you the Perfect Opportunity to Learn Self-Forgiveness.
God loves you in fullness and in wholeness, just the way you are. God says only, "Thank you" to you, for undertaking this difficult and challenging journey into physical form in order that God Himself may experience the wonder and the glory of Her Divinity, through you.
It is not an easy task to demonstrate and expand Divinity's Expression when in physical form, and God understands that there have been and will continue to be times when human beings forget Who They Are and think, say, and do things that may not be their highest concepts of Divinity.
All the collective Souls in heaven and all the Angels in all the realms come here now to tell you:
"The journey of self realization is the most challenging of all the experiences that any Being may encounter. We are grateful to you for taking this journey, through which All Of Us are allowed to evolve and expand our very Selves, becoming greater and greater versions of Divinity because of the remembrances we receive through you. Your willingness to engage in this journey and to suffer the anguish, the frustration, and the searing pain of what you will call 'failure' is a gift to all of Life and to all of Us which is incalculable and treasured always."
You are forgiven. You are more than forgiven. You are blameless, cherished and loved beyond measure. You are held in a place and in a way in which forgiveness itself is not even necessary, for you have done nothing "wrong," but only the very best that you could do in the circumstance and condition in which you made your choices and decisions.
With regard to yourself and to others, "Judge not, and neither condemn." You will be with God in heaven....even as you are with God in heaven right now, during your journey upon the earth. For God has never left you, and never will, and this earth is a magnificent part of the Kingdom of God.
I send you my biggest love....Neale.
= = = = = = = = = = =
That's the reply I sent to this wonderful lady. I hope it has served you to read it. For more about God's requirements and the punishment for not fulfilling them, be sure to read What God Wants, a wonderful little book of answers that will thrill the soul.
And I will see you here next week!
Love and Hugs,
Neale.
