Few Excerpts from “Conversations with God - Book 3” by Neale Donald Walsch:

Everything that has happened in your life has happened perfectly in order for you and all the souls involved with you, to grow in exactly the way you have needed and wanted to grow.

You teach what you have to learn. It is not necessary to have achieved perfection to speak of perfection. It is not necessary to have achieved mastery to speak of mastery Seek only to be genuine Strive to be sincere. If you wish to undo all the damage you imagine yourself to have done, demonstrate that in your actions. Do what you can do, then let it rest.

There is no such thing as wrong. There is only that which does not serve you; does not speak the truth about who you are and who you choose to be.

Guilt and Fear are the only enemies of man. Guilt is the feeling that keeps you stuck in who you are not. Guilt is the blight upon land-the poison that kills the plant. Awareness is what you seek. Awareness is not guilt and love is not fear. Be cautious, be conscious but do not be fearful.

BE, DO AND HAVE:

Most people believe, if they have a thing(more time, money, love whatever), then they can finally do a thing (take up a hobby), which will allow them to be a thing (happy , content, peaceful).

But in reality, they are reversing the be-do-have paradigm. It really is; havingness does not produce beingness.  First you be the thing called “happy” (or knowing or wise or compassionate), then you start doing things from this place of beingness and soon you discover that what you are doing winds up bringing you the things you have always wanted to “have”. Happiness is a state of mind.

GRIEF is a natural emotion but grief that is continually repressed becomes chronic depression which is unnatural.

ANGER is a natural emotion. It is the tool you have which allows you to say, “No, thanks”. It does not have to be abusive or damaging. Anger continually repressed becomes rage which is unnatural.

ENVY is natural; it makes you want to do it again, to try harder to continue surviving until you succeed. But envy continually repressed becomes jealousy.

FEAR is natural; the purpose of natural fear is to build a bit of caution to keep the body alive. But fear if repressed becomes panic.

LOVE is natural. Yet love which has been conditioned, limited, wrapped up rules and regulations, rituals and restrictions, controlled, manipulated and withheld becomes possessiveness which is unnatural.
