It meant a lot to Me, too.
But I often wonder, why did this happen to me? I’m not worthy.
Everyone is worthy of having a conversation with God! That was the whole point! Yet I could
not make that point by “preaching to the choir.”
Okay, but why me? There are many people who have led less than perfect lives. Why choose
me? That’s the question so many people ask. “Why you, Neale, and not me?”
And what do you say?
I say that God talks to everyone, all of the time. The question is not, To whom does God
talk?, but, Who listens?
Excellent. That is an excellent answer.
It should be. You gave it to me. But now I have to ask You to answer my earlier question.
How do I create, moment-to-moment, the experience of unconditional and unlimited love?
How can I adopt the godly attitude of being fully loving?
To be fully loving is to be completely natural. Loving is the natural thing to do. It is not normal,
but it is natural.
Explain that difference to me again.
“Normal” is a word used to denote what is usual, commonplace, consistent. The word
“natural” is used to denote the basic nature of a thing. Your basic nature as a human being is
to be loving, to love everyone and everything, though it is not normalfor you to do so.
Why not?
Because you have been taught to act against your basic nature—to not be natural—in the
way you move through the world.
And why is that? Why have we been taught that?
Because you have believed that your Natural Self is bad, is evil, is something which must be
tamed, restrained, subdued. And so you have required your race to exhibit and adhere to
“normal” behaviors that are not natural. To be “natural” was to be sinful, indulgent, perhaps
even dangerously evil. Even to allow yourself to be seen in a “natural” state was said to be
sinful.
