Re: To Ros re: Celestine Prophecy

[Guest guest]

Good grief, the book one quote of walsch-- this is what He has been

telling me over and over again. I listened and admitted finally it was

God even though everyone knows " if you talk to God you are praying but

if He talks back you are schizophrenic " .

Hi Ros,

I'm so glad you discovered The Celestine Prophecy! It was an exciting book

for me. It came along at a time when I was just starting to turn my life

around.

I needed a whole new way of thinking to replace my view of myself as

mentally ill, and I found it in a number of books that I consider

life-changing.

Some of the others:

The Road Less Traveled, by M. Peck

The Seat of the Soul, by Zukav

Conversations with God, by Neale Walsch

The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, by Dan Millman

There are many more, of course. These are the ones that first made a

difference for me.

Hugs,

Kim

movement around here with expensive seminars and such like.

Dear Janet,

A little about the author:

" In 1992, following a period of deep despair, Neale awoke in the middle of a

February night and wrote an anguished letter to God. " What does it take, " he

angrily scratched across a yellow legal pad, " to make life work? "

Now well chronicled and widely talked about, it was this questioning letter

that received a divine answer. Neale says that he heard a voice, soft and

kind, warm and loving, that gave him an answer to this and other questions.

Awestruck and inspired, he quickly scribbled these responses onto the

tablet. More questions came, and, as fast as they occurred to him, answers

were given in the same soft voice, which now seemed placed inside his head.

Before he knew it, Neale found himself engaged in a two-way on-paper

dialogue. He continued this first " conversation " for hours, and had many

more in the weeks that followed, always awakening in the middle of the night

and being drawn back to his legal pad. Neale's handwritten notes would later

become the best-selling Conversations with God books. He says the process

was " exactly like taking dictation, " and that the dialogue created in this

way was published without significant alteration or editing. "

***It's a great book. I've read three in the series. I don't think there

is any need for expensive seminars, but do check out the book. I think

you'll enjoy it.

It's worth a look. Our local library has multiple copies of all his books.
