I settled in last night with a glass of Shiraz and my trusty pencil and dove in to the Introduction and first two chapters which deal with Jung’s childhood and early school years.

Walsch moves on to an examination of ‘civil society’ and commerce with this comment, “the thought that you ‘can’t afford’ a civil society is what is causing your society to no longer be civil” (280). God asks the question, “What’s more important, the quality of a human life or the profit margin of doctor’s offices, [...]

Walsch finishes Part I of Tomorrow’s GodTomorrow’s God with a discussion of energy, vibration and our decision to move towards Mastery. If we are to change, he explains, we must first make the decision to move away from ignorance, and this decision, Walsch argues, is an “enormous first step” both for the individual soul and [...]

This section of the book deals challenges our belief that God is both malevolent and benevolent – that God could both love and hate, create and destroy, reward and punish.
