"I love you no matter what." That, in Neale Donald Walsch's words, is the message at the heart of everything he's been given to share with the world.

For thirty years, Neale's work has been a companion to people walking through the hardest questions of being human and into the deeper truths of the joys of being human. What he has offered, in his best selling Conversations with God Collection is something profound that has changed the lives of many - a truth that we are loved without condition, that the divine is not somewhere we have to earn our way to, and that the wisdom we are reaching for already lives inside us. It has reached five million people across thirty-seven languages, and continues to reach more every year.

What most people don't know is where that dialogue with God began for Neale. In this conversation we go beyond the books and into the humanness of his story right into the one-room flat above someone's garage, at rockbottom, where the morning he picked up a yellow legal pad and wrote an angry letter to God demanding to know what it takes to make life work. What came back was the beginning of everything that followed.

This is Part A of a two-part conversation. In this episode we move through the full arc of Neals life — the childhood in Milwaukee that built the man, the unravelling that emptied him out, the morning the dialogue began, and the eighty-two years of living that have now distilled into his newest book, Letters to a Young Seeker.

I can't wait for you to dive into this week's conversation. If you've ever come across Neale's work, you'll know we're in for an incredible episode.

In this episode (Part A):

• The two weeks his marriage ended, his job ended, and a car accident nearly ended his life
• Fifty weeks on the sidewalk, asking what it takes to make life work
• The 4.30am morning the dialogue began, and the moment he realised the answers weren't his
• His mother, dying, asking him to dance on her grave
• Whether a soul actually chooses its parents before it arrives
