Conversations with God has also had a profound impact on my life as well, and I'm constantly referring back to it. It's a book that isn;t really meant to be read from start to finish, but more about finding the parts in the book that have a spiritual relevance to you, and that is pretty much all the time. Found a link to the audiobooks on YouTube. This will take you to Book 1 - Pt. 1 and you can find books 2 and 3 in the related videos. I enjoy listening to the audiobook more than reading the book because I feel a much closer connection when I'm actually hearing God speaking to me. Also, God's voice alternates between male and female, which brings the book to life more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVAHqpts54c
Aww man..they took the audiobook down "due to multiple copyright infringement complaints." Or s/thing like that. Boooo!!
because conversations with god doesnt explain calculus, shouldnt it in theory? Why wasn't god like, hey you all could really use this. Check this out it is how you make penicillin
Oh you know what? UI just downloaded it in PDF and im only on page 9 but im so glad i downloaded it! Tiotally worth my toime! Sorry, the o is roight next to the i.
im sure thats what he did. If you read the first couple pages, it explains how God works thru people. We all have gifts. Whats yours?
I read that book. I say the author is religiously psychotic. If he kept that personal, then there might be a chance that it is true. But because he wrote a book, and sheeple are looking to him as some kind of messenger, I reject it. Would you exploit your sex life with your spouse to the world? No. That's personal. That's itimate. Thats respect. If i was to exploit my sex life by making vids online, I would do it for the followers of the videos. I wouldn't give a fuck about the sex. Before writing the Conversations With God series, Walsch worked variously as a radio station program director, newspaper managing editor, and in marketing and public relations. In the early 1990s he suffered a series of crushing blows-a fire that destroyed all of his belongings, the break-up of his marriage, and a car accident that left him with a broken neck. Once recovered, but alone and unemployed, he was forced to live in a tent in Jackson Hot Springs, just outside Ashland, Oregon, collecting and recycling aluminium cans in order to eat. At the time, he thought his life had come to an end. Despondent, he began his writings after working his way out of homelessness and following a stint as a radio talk show host.<sup>[3]</sup> His first book, Conversations with God, was published in 1995 and became an international bestseller. It remained on the New York Times Bestseller List for 135 weeks. Six of his other books have made the Times list in the years since. He has published 28 books and his works have been translated into 37 languages. \n\nYou see that? He was homeless collecting aluminum cans. Today he is a rich entrepenuer with a business all in the name of God. If he spent his own money from a minumum wage job to share his "conversations" for free, then there might be a chance I would have an open mind. But the guy is making money hand over fist all in the name of God. Have you seen his audience? Mostly middle aged "sheeple" women. An easy target to prey upon. I say that his books are all his personal intimate relationship with the God of his understanding. As for me, I call bullshit when he has the attitude of "this is the way it is".
My gift is looking at hot babes with pretty smiles on GC avatars. There is this one bladie who calls herself "BlazinAgent_FBI" and she is nice to look at. That's my gift.
This book says more about the audience than the man, who's either a charlatan or delusional lunatic. Some people are shallow and the idea of trying to find meaning in life is so frightening to them they abandon their natural investigative abilities to shovel someone else's horseshit into their eager mouths. To me, there's very little difference between Harry Potter fanatics and religious zombies. Both groups hold onto a book filled with ridiculous fantasy with such fervor they could easily be considered blindly obsessed.
Haha. Lol. We all have our belief systems...hope, faith, trust, love, ILLUSION..DREAMS/ambitions...we all have our higher power. Don't ever think that you are superior enough to knock anybody elses belief. Im sure you are a good person.
No, we all have our coping mechanisms. Many of us don't feel the need to personify or make holy, that which gets us through the day. And to that end, there's no superiority trip in acknowledging fallacies in rhetoric or general logic. If you go around simply saying "this is my belief, respect it just because it means the world to me", it only reiterates the fact that you're just killing your time with a broken clock. My belief system and social framework both allow for scrutiny, as they are based on the foundation of mutual respect via a two way street, rather than a one-sided demand for respect towards beliefs that the practitioners cannot even logically defend for themselves- thus the need for unwarranted, yet complete tolerance of whatever suits them. God's like the existential NSA: He sees all, knows all, but wants you to do very little of the same, less you regain your sovreignty and mind. It's not in the best interests of any authority figure, to have free-minded individuals.
