Good morning my fellow beloved! Today is the day, we begin to share the Ultimate Truth amongst ourselves. So that we can see through the illusion of separation. You and I are One. God and us are One. We were always together – yesterday, today, and forever.
Neale Donald Waslch has a wonderful parable written in Book 1 and 3 (Conversations with God) about the Little Soul and the Sun. I chose to put the one in Book 3 here since it was so wonderfully written, tears of joy can’t help but fall from my eyes.
This entry talks about the Grand Design of life. Our purpose in life, in relation to ourselves and to others. Now, without further ado… the parable goes like this:
”You may choose to be any Part of God you wish to be,” I said to the Little Soul. “You are Absolute Divinity, experiencing Itself. What Aspect of Divinity do you now wish to experience as You?”
“You mean I have a choice?” asked the Little Soul. And I answered, “Yes, You may choose to experience Any Aspect of Divinity in, as, and through you.”
“Okay,” said the Little Soul, “then I choose Forgiveness. I want to experience my Self as the Aspect of God called Complete Forgiveness.”
Well, this created a little challenge, as you can imagine.
There was no one to forgive. All I have created is Perfection and Love.
“No one to forgive?” asked the Little Soul, somewhat incredulously.
“No one,” I repeated. “Look around you. Do you see any souls less perfect, less wonderful than you?”
At this the Little Soul twirled around, and was surprised to see himself surrounded by all the souls in heaven. They had come from far and wide throughout the Kingdom, because they heard that the Little Soul was having an extraordinary conversation from God.
“I see none less perfect than I!” the Little Soul exclaimed. “Who, then, shall I have to forgive?”
Just then, another soul stepped forward from the crowd. “You may forgive me,” said this Friendly Soul.
“For what?” the Little Soul asked.
“I will come into your next physical lifetime and do something for you to forgive,” replied the Friendly Soul.
“But what? What could you, a being of such Perfect Light, do to make me want to forgive you?” the Little Soul wanted to know.
“Oh,” smiled the Friendly Soul, “I’m sure we can think of something.”
“But why would you want to do this?” The Little Soul could not figure out why a being of such perfection would want to slow down its vibration so much that it could actually do something “bad”.
“Simple,” the Friendly Soul explained, “I would do it because I love you. You want to experience your Self as Forgiving, don’t you? Besides, you’ve done the same for me.”
“I have?” asked the Little Soul.
“Of course. Don’t you remember? We’ve been All Of It, you and I. We’ve been the Up and Down of it, and the Left and the Right of it. We’ve been the Here and the There of it. We’ve been the Big and the Small of it, the Male and the Female of it, the Good and the Bad of it. We’ve all been the All of It.
“And we’ve done it by agreement, so that each of us might experience ourselves as the Grandest Part of God. For we have understood that… In the absence of that which You Are Not, that Which You ARE, is NOT.
In the absence of ‘cold’, you cannot be ‘warm’. In the absence of ‘sad’, you cannot be ‘happy’, without a thing called ‘evil’, the experience you call ‘good’ cannot exist.
If you choose to be a thing, something or someone opposite to that has to show up somewhere in your universe to make that possible.”
The Friendly Soul then explained that those people are God’s Special Angels, and these conditions God’s Gifts.
“I ask only one thing in return,” the Friendly Soul declared.
“Anything! Anything,” the Little Soul cried. He was excited not to know that he could experience every Divine Aspect of God. He understood, now, the Plan.
“In the moment that I strike you and smite you,” said the Friendly Soul, “in the moment that I do the worst to you that you could ever imagine – in that selfsame moment… remember Who I Really Am.”
“Oh, I won’t forget!” promised the Little Soul. “I will see you in the perfection with which I hold you now, and I will remember Who You Are, always.”

In this book reviews, someone commented:
” Interesting… As someone who works for a hotel which has housed the “Conversations With God” seminars, I can safely say that the author of this text is amazingly rude for someone who claims to speak to God. Remember Mr. Walsh, the Divine loves all people, even those underlings who work the front desk and arrange your overpriced ‘classes’

Hallooooo!! =)
Hahaha It’s perfectly fine with me. I see that people are indeed quick to judge. Well, it really doesn’t matter. =) You and I are One. Thus you cannot really hurt me, unless I choose to be hurt. I cannot hurt you as well, unless you choose to be hurt. =) This is the truth about Life. It’s so great and wonderful that we can experience anything we choose to.
Personally, I do not know Mr. Walsh, but the books he wrote has helped me reached enlightenment. So I kinda owe him one. Who he is personally, some might say he is rude, some might say he is wonderful. But it really doesn’t matter. =)
If Jesus were to come back to Earth as another man. And certainly some people will notice His return. Others, will simply not believe and will do anything just to make him “look bad”. =) That’s pretty normal, since most do not know what to do with him. People wants people to be in their “respective” places. ^^ My point of view again… is it doesn’t really matter.
I am Love. I choose to be Love. =) And so I shall be.
How about you? Who do you choose to be? ^^

To be realistic, it’s hard to please everyone in this world. Even God cannot please everyone — e.g. those unbelievers. But that does not matter because each and everyone of us has Free Will — you can choose who you want to be. By the way, I have scanned thru the link provided by Get Real and found out that even though someone was not impressed by the organization ran by Neale that person still claimed that his message is life-changing:
Someone wrote me: “I have met Neale several times of the past 3 years and read all his books. I went for a retreat run by him in Miami and I was not impressed with his organization. It felt more like a business than a teacher of spiritual truth but I have to say, the message itself has been and still is a real eye opener for me. It changed my life and has given me hope.”

Hi Believer,
Thanks for the comment entry. I would like to share some insights with you and everybody else who would stumble upon this page.
Yes, there is no “one way” to please everybody… simply because we are exercising individualism. But then, this is the beauty of it. We are all One, and we have created this “illusion” that enables us to experience being many. Each one (of the many) chooses to experience different aspects of Who We Are (which is God). Realize that God is not only the “good”, but also the “bad”. God is not only the “beautiful”, but also the “ugly”. God is not only the “powerful”, but also the “weak”. I guess… most of us fail to see God as God. Most of us only see one side of God, yet God is absolute, infinite, everything, the Alpha and the Omega, the up and down, the left and right, the beauty and the beast.
“There is only One of us.
There are Many of us.
This is the Divine Dichotomy. Two seemingly contradicting ideas, but are both real and true.”
This is what makes life beautiful.
Once again, thank you for sharing your comments. Feel free to post anytime anywhere anything. =) I love you
