Communion with God
About This Book
Neale Donald Walsch has changed the way the world thinks about God. His books have been translated into twenty-five languages, and his Conversations with God series, book 1, book 2, and book 3, have all been New York Times bestsellers-book 1 for over two years. In the Conversations books, Walsch shared with his readers the beginning of a sacred relationship, as he began an exchange with God on everything from love and faith, to life and death, and good and evil. And then, as Walsch recounted in Friendship with God, something else extraordinary began to happen. His relationship with God began to strengthen and deepen, just as our own relationships do, into a friendship. Now in Communion with God, his most richly intimate book yet, Walsh discovers how to elevate that friendship to a state of communion. In this blueprint for seekers, he reveals The Ten Illusions of Man—the misconceptions we hold about ourselves and our world and our God. He describes with striking clarity how we might heal the great divide that has arisen from these illusions. And as he explores the true meaning of bringing God into our everyday lives, of having the courage of our convictions, Walsch shows us that we can only break free from our illusions when we act always from a place of deep fellowship with all that is holy—a place of communion with God.
What You'll Learn
• Understand each of the Ten Illusions in depth: not merely the list but the specific way each illusion operates in human consciousness, the suffering it generates, and what experience becomes available when the illusion is seen through
• Grasp the philosophical move Walsch makes with these illusions: reframing them not as mistakes to be blamed but as deliberate constructions serving an evolutionary purpose — and how this reframing changes one's relationship to one's own suffering
• Recognise the social dimension: how shared illusions create the patterns of human civilisation — competition, conflict, scarcity thinking, religious exclusivism — and why addressing these patterns requires examining the assumptions at their root rather than merely reforming the structures they generate
• Learn the specific alternative to each illusion: what replaces need, failure, disunity, and insufficiency in a consciousness that has genuinely moved through them — and how this alternative functions in the practical circumstances of daily life
• Appreciate the challenge the book poses: how a reader who agrees intellectually with the critique of the illusions can begin to actually live differently, and what practices Walsch suggests for embodying the alternative rather than merely understanding it conceptually
