1 The Holy Experience A book about the most wonderful encounter in life and how to produce it ______ BASED ON THE MESSAGES IN Conversations with God NEALE DONALD WALSCH 2 The Holy Experience Chapter One All of my life I have been seeking the Holy Experience. All of my life I have known that the Holy Experience would reveal everything. Everything about God, everything about life, and everything about me. The only questions for me have been, what is the Holy Experience, and where can I find it? Those questions have been asked by people all over the world since the beginning of time. Perhaps you have asked those questions, too. This book is the short story of how I found my answers. By telling you this story, perhaps I can help you to find your answers, too. I hope you will forgive me, then, if I place before you in this book some brief narratives of my life. I know that many of you have read one or more of my previous books, and so you may already have a few of these facts and details. But if you will indulge me, I want to create a context here, in this book, within which the remainder of the messages placed here might be considered and experienced. And from time to time a brief excursion into my own past may prove instructive, even if, for you, it is a revisiting of information you already have about me. I began my search for the Holy Experience by looking where one might be expected to look. I began by looking to religion. It is entirely understandable that I would do that. I was born into a family that believed in religion as a means of getting to heaven. I was raised a Roman Catholic, and by age seven I had a deep and abiding faith in God. I did not doubt for a moment Gods existence or Gods benevolence. By age 10 I also did not doubt Gods wrath. I was not taught much about Gods wrath at home. In fact, I was taught absolutely nothing about it. I think now, as I look back on it, that 3 my mother did not believe in it. If my father did, he bowed to my mothers wishes not to tell the kids about it until it was time. It was when I was sent to parochial schoolSt. Ignatius Elementary, on 36th and Mitchell, in Milwaukeethat I learned about a God who could become angry. It was there that I learned about the Ten Commandments. It was there that I learned about sin and punishment. It was there that I learned how to make a Perfect Act of Contrition (Oh, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee) in case I was in a car accident and found myself near death, or for some other reason discovered myself facing Judgment Day at an inopportune moment, not having gone to Confession for a while Confession was a big thing to me. We were told at St. Ignatius to go to Confession at least once a week. Saturday was the day set aside in our parish, as it is in most, so that one could receive Holy Communion at Mass on Sunday. This is where the idea of my own imperfection first came up, as I recall. This is where I picked up the thought that my soul must be clean
