The purest meaning of God is the universal source of consciousness. Everything and nothing and allness and in between.

That is the ‘God’ that Walsch writes from in his books. Not some dude in the sky, instead the fabric of who we are.

We are God, experiencing ‘himself’

It could be nothing more than what others say…but if there’s even a chance that it is channeled from a higher being or inspired by cosmic consciousness, wouldn’t you want to at least check it out?

Here’s part of Amazon.com’s editorial review:

Neale Donald Walsch isn’t claiming to be the Messiah of a new religion, just a frustrated man who sat down one day with pen in his hand and some tough questions in his heart. As he wrote his questions to God, he realized that God was answering them… directly… through Walsch’s pen. The result, far from the apocalyptic predictions or cultic eccentricities you might expect, turns out to be matter-fact, in-your-face wisdom on how to get by in life while remaining true to yourself and your spirituality.

OK, ok — I get it…you can find all sorts of inspirational nuggets in many faith-based texts. And from his Wikipedia entry:

He says his books are not channelled, but rather that they are inspired by God and that they can help a person relate to Him from a modern perspective.

I’m sorry, but everything I know about this world shows it’s almost impossible that there is any god, that beliefs like this are a form of mass delusion (and often dangerous), and, frankly, I worry about grown-ups who still have an imaginary friend.

Every human is perfectly capable of loving themselves, loving others, and not believe in any higher being other than themselves.

100 years from now people will laugh at Neale Donald Walsch’s Conversations With God, and appreciate George Carlin’s scoffing of such “conversations” as babbling to a non-existent “Invisible Man In The Sky.”
