While researching Neale’s story online I was pleased to see that Neale’s mother was the first source who introduced him to God. She shared her very open-minded views with Neale and brought him up to believe that God was always near her and that she could continually call upon the Lords’ love and guidance to see her through any situation. Neale attended a Catholic grade school and it was there that the wisdom and clarity he possessed caught the attention of another broad-minded individual –the parish priest. Once a week Neal was allowed to meet with him and discuss upon his own expansion of what the Lord meant to him on a personal level and give his take on God –free of ridicule and reprimand for questioning the typical views most offend welcomed in the religious sector. This gave Neale a very clear perception of his worth and value in the eyes of the All Mighty. This peace and awareness would later prove to be the very same instrument Neale would call upon to not only lead and give direction to his own life’s questions –but to millions of other lost souls looking for a way to make it out of the darkness as well! Later on when Neale was preparing himself for setting out to find his own place in life, he dropped out of college at the University of Wisconsin in his sophomore year to instead pursue his interest in radio broadcasting and at 19 landed a job that took him from his hometown in Milwaukee to Annapolis, Maryland. As was expected, Neal’s vibrant personality along with his cheerful and infectious spirit allowed him to flourish and he eventually went on to become a radio station director as well as a news paper reporter and that then lead to his becoming a managing editor and public information officer for one of the countries largest public school systems. Neale’s life by all accounts was thriving and he was a very happy man. He moved out to the West Coast where even more success fallowed. He created for himself his own public relations and marketing firm. But he proved to be quite the restless spirit and began to move from one career to another and that is when things first began to unravel for him. He was experiencing difficulties in his personal relationships and found himself unsettled in his life. So once again he moved away to pursue yet another venue of change and found himself in Oregon. But this did not hold for him the future he had envisioned for himself. One day Neale was struck by a vehicle driven by an elderly man who had taken a left hand turn that resulted into a direct collision on to Neale’s path, leaving Neale with a broken neck –and even worse, a broken spirit. He had already lost his home due to a divorce and in the time it took for him to recover from his injury, he lost the apartment he had been renting and found himself homeless. Taking on odd jobs here and there eventually got him back on his feet, but his spirit was still crushed. In reflection of what he’d been taught by his mother, after he woke up one night he began to write a letter to God asking him directly “What does it take to make life work…?” As he wrote these words all the bitter pain and anguish took over and he-to his own surprise began to hear God speak to him inside his mind and the voice was as clear and kind as any other he had ever heard before. One by one the answers began to appear and those very same letters to God became a world wide phenomenon and today in nearly any bookstore in the country to can read about his communication with the lord in the books that sprung out from Neale’s “Conversations With God” If you are lost, hurting, feeling alone and afraid, I would suggest the series of books that have been written by Mr. Walsch describing his relationship with God in the months and years that fallowed that first night he dared to question the meaning of life to begin with. My thoughts and prayers are with you in whatever stage of your life this article finds you. Good luck!
