Higher Self Is The Common Thread In Trilogy

Neale Donald Walsch’s trilogy covers hundreds of topics, from faith to soil erosion, abuse of psychic power to warnings about genetic engineering.

The constant refrain is to get in touch with one’s Higher Self by whatever it takes: reading a holy book, meditating, saying a rosary, communing with nature, writing a song. And then, listening.

Other points asserted:

The golden rule of Christ contains one of the most profound esoteric truths of all time.

Because we are all a part of God, it isn’t blasphemy to try to be more God-like.

All emotions can be broken into one of two things: love and fear. And fear is merely the lack of love.

Heaven is becoming “Who You Really Are,” developing yourself to your greatest potential; Hell (which isn’t a destination) is the opposite.

Here is a representative excerpt from “Conversations with God, Book 3,” in which Walsch asks the questions and “God” provides the answers:

Q. Many religions say that reincarnation is a false doctrine; that we get only one life here; one chance.

A. I know. That is not accurate.

Q. How can they be so wrong about something so important? How can they not know the truth about something so basic?

A. You must understand that humans have many fear-based religions whose teachings surround a doctrine of a God who is to be worshiped and feared.

It was through fear that your entire Earth society reformed itself from the matriarchy into the patriarchy. It was through fear that the early priests got people to “mend their wicked ways” and “heed the word of the Lord.” It was through fear that churches gained, and controlled, their membership.

Q. No wonder reincarnation was declared to be an un-truth.

A. Yes. Yet when I created you, I did not create you so that you could live one lifetime - an infinitesimal period, really, given the age of the universe - make the mistakes you were inevitably going to make, then hope for the best at the end. I’ve tried to imagine setting it up that way, but I can never figure out what My purpose would be. You could never figure it out either. That’s why you’ve had to keep saying things like, “The Lord works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform.” But I don’t work in mysterious ways. Everything I do has a reason, and it’s perfectly clear. I’ve explained why I created you, and the purpose of your life, many times now during this trilogy.

Reincarnation fits perfectly into that purpose, which is for Me to create and experience Who I Am through you, lifetime after lifetime, and through the millions of other creatures of consciousness I have placed in the universe.

Q. Then there is life on other -

A. Of course there is. Do you really believe that you are alone in this gigantic universe? But that’s another topic we can get to later.
