Saturday is Prose & Poetry Day here on the blog, a time to take a moment once a week to relax the mind, open the heart, and access the soul through the gift of prose from one of the many books of The New Spirituality, and through the poetry of m. Claire, author of the forthcoming volume, Openings.
This week's prose...an excerpt from Communion with God...
Now I come to tell you again that this is what is true:
Love is unconditional. Life is unending. God is without need. And you are a miracle. The miracle of God, made human.
This is what you have wanted to know all along.
It is what you have always known in your heart, and what your mind has denied. It is what your soul has whispered to you time and time again, only to be silenced by your body, and the bodies around you.
You have been asked to deny Me by the very religions that would invite you to know Me. For they have told you that you are not Me, and I am not you, and that to even think so is a sin.
We are not one, they say, but rather, the Creator and the created. Yet this refusal to accept and know yourself as one with Me is what has caused all of the pain and all of the sorrow of your life.
I invite you now to a meeting with the Creator.
You will find the Creator within.

We truly Are
One Nation, Of God,
Indivisible,
because We Cannot Divide The One Heart
no matter what We may say
or do
to One another.
But let Me apologize to every God
for what We’ve done
in That name.
Let Me apologize to every People
for what We’ve each Believed,
as We took a Life.
Let Me apologize for every One
Who has forgotten
Oneness.
For Conquests.
For Slavery.
For War.
For Conversions,
and Missions.
For Rape
of Animals, Peoples, Planets.
Let Me apologize
for The Innocent
who
don’t even know
Their Guilt.

People, please. If you want a message from God, read the Bible (God's Word) and get on your knees and pray.
** The Bible is not God's Word, it is the "Inspired Word of God", there is a world of difference between something said by God and something inspired of God. Any thing can be an inspiration, a beautiful morning, a sunset, peace, joy, happiness, and most importantly Love, and that can be the greatest experience of your Life, and can also be the most excruciating (ask Yeshuah, He can vouch for that !)
God's Word is the inerrant Word of God. It does not contradict itself.
** No, but all the corrupt translations, slanted in a particular direction to satisfy a particular agenda, do ! Which one do you consider inerrant ?
And He does not give someone else a message that is in contradict to His Word. Perhaps you should read Revelations...especially the part about False Prophets.
** Ahhh ! Revelation ... that's the Book that is a compilation and plagiarizing
of all the unfulfilled prophesies in the Old Testament/Torah. In case you weren't aware, Yeshuah only fulfilled 85% of the prophesies. If you are a Ju(dah) it is 100% or nothing ! Anything less would be a breach of contract (Covenant) with God. That’s why the Christians are waiting for the “second coming”, and the Ju’s the first !

Amazing....what other best selling author exposes himself so openly and allows people to express their free will even if it puts him in a bad light.
Reading this confirms something inside me that tells me Neale 'is' real.
Thanx for this blog Neale...
Your books will sell without you blogging
You must love us
Thank you
I have found no other writings which have made the claim to be inspired by God which have supernatural dimension to them as well as Gods own finger prints any where other than the Bible. To make a comment in regards to the comment about translations or corrupt translations, I can agree that though the writers of a particular translation may have some sort of agenda, God who is outside the dimension of time and able to have seen these translations from before the foundations of the earth and the motives of some of these translators hearts, has made clear His message to the honor the kings who are to seek out some of His concealed matters Proverbs 25:2.
For instance, in all the translations including the Catholic Bible and the Bible the cunning Jehovahs witnesses use you will find a geneology in chapter 5 that lists ten names out of all the sons and daughters that these ten men listed had, for the author of this book to choose from, however, divinely inspired Moses chose the ten names listed. Now if I were to write these names down and do a thorough word study on the meanings of them,(And I have for all you challengers and scholars out there) you will find this:
Name Meaning
Adam Man
Seth appointed or you could add (was)appointed
Enosh mortal
Kenan sorrow
Mahalalel praise of God or blessed God or you could add (the) blessed God
Jared shall descend or come down
Enoch teaching, instructing, or making wise
Methuselah His death shall bring, or when he is dead it shall be sent
Lamech (Where we get our English word lament) despairing or (the)
Noah Rest
Put it all together you have:
Man (was) appointed mortal sorrow, (the) blessed God or praise of God shall come down teaching (that) His death shall bring (the) despairing rest
How could the author have coincidently picked those names out of all the other sons and daughters who these men were listed to have had. Furthermore, how could some of these men listed have known what some of their descendants would name their children. Finally, is it a coincidence that the names of these men were chosen in the order they were chosen in, for instance, instead of Adam naming a son Seth, Jared could have named his son Seth, but he didn't. Now I know some skeptics might say well those names could have been common then and maybe some of the other sons of these men were named the same names. That still doesn't account for the order in which the geneology was written and handed down.
This is just one of many ways God Himself is revealing His Word in this day, or the origin of His recorded inspired Word and setting Himself apart from the fraudulent works of the enemy or whatever sets itself or himself up against the knowledge of the only God.
Now let the response or the debates be revealed Lord, but let only Your truth stand unblemished.
