Book Reviews of Communion with God
Book Review: PERCEPTION IS REALITY:the mind creates the illusion
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this book as a "stand alone" book in the Conversation with God series. The series seems to follow a path, one book rolling into the next with a little bit of back tracking and repeating for clarification and awareness. This "conversation" is different, much different. This book deals with the human mind, and our perceptions of the world, and who and what we and God are in its role. There are Ten Illusions; Need, Failure, Disunity, Insufficiency, Requirement, Judgment, Condemnation, Conditionality, Superiority, and Ignorance. You don't have to be a Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu, or any other faith or spiritual practitioner to appreciate the words found in this book. It is universal. Forget that its claimed authorship is "God" in dialogue with Neale Donald Walsh. Get past this and hear what the words say. Read a paragraph, a page, a chapter and pull out your highlighter and note those passages and words that make a mark with you and your perception of the way things are in your life. Take the time to think and rationalize what is being spoken and how it applies to you, your family members, your co-workers, the country you live in, or the world we ALL live in. This book has no boundaries based in religious or political differences because it speaks of unity, of oneness--to which we ALL are. Wake up! Recognize the illusions that are impressed upon you, upon us all, and begin to see what the reality truly is. See what "they" don't want you to know. Once you read the Ten Illusions of Part I, it is followed by Part II, Mastering the Illusions. These chapters include; Teaching Your Children Well, Seeing the Illusions as Illusions, Understanding the Purpose of the Illusions, Meditating on the Illusions, Using the Illusions, and Re-creating Your Reality. Part III is Meeting the Creator Within; The Control of Your Body, Taking Control of Your Emotions, Cultivating Willingness, The Message of the Creator, and Seizing Your Moment of Grace. The book is 219 pages plus the index. In my opinion, there is nothing denominational about this book, spiritual "yes", denominational "no". If you don't mind being as a "sheep" and being led about or following the herd, then no need for you to read this because you are probably perfectly happy with your life and as they say, "ignorance is bliss." On the other hand, if you have an intuition that "something ain't right with the world", or you have issues with having enough, being unsatisfied with life, beat yourself up or allow other to beat you up because of your failures, putting conditions on certain things in your life, or finding yourself being too judgmental, then there is a reason for you to read this book. The masses are always ruled by a small minority------this is how they do it and set the ball in motion and keep it rolling without you ever knowing it. Its time to take control of the "God" given life you were to live for yourself, and not everyone else. You may not be able to change the world, but maybe you can change the way for your children who may change the world. Can we afford to keep going the way we are? Is it working for us ALL? Shouldn't it? I put this book as a companion book with "Awareness" and "The Four Agreements" which I have reviewed. "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH"...or so they want you to think.
Summary of Communion with God
In 1992, Neale Donald Walsch?depressed, in poor health, unhappy with his life?wrote an angry letter to God. His frustrated questions?What does it take to make life work? What have I done to deserve a life of such continuing struggle??poured out onto a yellow legal pad. Before he was through, his pen stayed suspended over the paper, and a reply was whispered into his mind by a voiceless voice:"Do you really want an answer to all these questions, or are you just venting?"So began an uncommon conversation?a powerful, inspiring dialogue between God and man that has touched the minds, hearts, lives, and souls of millions of people around the world.
Communion with God is the latest in a series of books chronicling Walsch's extraordinary experience.
Bestselling author Neale Donald Walsch (Conversations with God) moves beyond showing readers how to develop a friendship with God and instead offers a model for communion. Rather than using the dialog format, where Walsch shares personal conversations he has with God, he chose to write through the narrative voice of God--as if God were speaking directly to the reader. "I tell you this: You need nothing to survive," says God. "Your survival is guaranteed. I gave you everlasting life, and I never took it away from you." This format can feel a bit jarring, as if this was an attempt at channeling rather than Walsch's usual humble style of dialogue. Using a structure of top-10 illusions, Walsch has God speaking to illusions such as need, judgment, and superiority. At times God sounds scolding: "For I tell you this: Your idea of superiority could be the last mistake you ever make." Yet, the bottom-line message is that of unconditional love and the exhilarating promise of communion--a gift that is lavishly offered throughout the final chapters. --Gail Hudson
