Walsh Neil Donald - Conversation with Eckhart Tole.

The process of creation begins with a thought - an idea, a concept, a visualization. Everything you see was once someone's idea. Everything that exists in your world originally existed in the form of pure thought. This is true for the universe as well. Thought is the first level of creation. Word comes next. Everything you say is an expressed thought. The word is creative, it sends creative energy into the Universe. Words are more dynamic (or, one might say, more creative) than thoughts, because words represent a different level of vibration than thoughts. Words influence the Universe to a greater extent (change it). Words are the second level of creation. Then comes the action. Actions are words in motion. Words are thoughts expressed. Thoughts are ideas formed. Ideas are collected energies. Energies are forces released. Forces are elements that exist. And the elements are particles of God, parts of the Whole, that of which everything consists. The beginning is God. The end is action. Action is God creating - or God experienced. Your thought about yourself is this: you are not good enough, not wonderful enough, not sinless enough to be a part of God, to be in partnership with God. You have denied Who You Are for so long that You have forgotten Who You Are.

Walsh Neil Donald - Conversations with God.

Walsh Neal Donald American writer, author of books on the spiritual development of man. "Conversations with God" is an unusual document of our time: a message from God is a kind of program of spiritual revolution, exhausting all spheres of knowledge and human activity - from purely personal to planetary.

Biography

Neil Donald Walsh is an American writer (born 1943), author of the best-selling books Conversations with God, Friendship with God, Union with God, and other works.

Walsh published his notes under the title Conversations with God. Unusual dialogue. Some time later, the second and third books with the same title came out. This edition was a great success in America: it stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for 130 weeks. After "Conversations with God", the books "Friendship with God" and "Union with God" were published, which enjoyed no less success with readers. He lives with his wife Nancy in southern Oregon.

Scandal

In 2008, Walsh was accused of plagiarism when the site Beliefnet.com (English) Russian. published an essay "Upside down or placed right?" Walsh allegedly recounted the miraculous appearance of the words "Christ was love" during a rehearsal for his son's Christmas performance; but his publication exactly coincided with an article published 10 years ago in the spiritual magazine "Clarity" by Candy Chand, which was posted on a site like Heartwarmers, and there were even coincidences in the names of the sons - both are called Nicholas. Walsh publicly apologized, saying that he must have mistook the story over the years as his own, although Chand said she did not believe this. Shortly thereafter, the article was removed from Beliefnet.com due to circumstances that came to light, and Walsh was removed from the list of authors. Walsh explained that he found a joke in his early files from an old computer, saw his son's name in a copy of the document, and was completely convinced that the story actually happened to his Nicholas, and that he simply forgot it, but "remembered" when he saw joke in the file. Walsh considered the incident a classic example of false memory and said he repeated the joke as if it were his own in many speeches over the years, adding that he was "mortified and surprised that my mind could play such a trick on me".

On Relationships is an inspiring book full of humor and practical wisdom. Neil Donald Walsh considers different types of relationships - with God, with oneself and with others, showing the mutual influence and development of these relationships.

Site section: Dangerous books for believers in God.

All of Walsh's books are malicious blasphemy, disguised as pseudo-Christian vocabulary. One thing is incomprehensible to me: why slurp on the rotten stew of some Walsh when there is excellent spiritual food of the patristic tradition?

God Jesus Christ Himself came to earth and founded the Church. Installed the sacraments. Even Moses gave instructions several thousand years before the coming of the Messiah to earth to build a temple and established the priesthood. These are tools thanks to which a person goes to the Kingdom of Heaven more easily! Fasting and prayer are also related. Just like that, a person cannot communicate with God with his tongue. We can't do anything without God. The lesson with Adam and Eve was given back in Paradise, that without God they wanted to become like gods. The result is death! Moreover, it is impossible to unite with God without repentance through Confession before the priest of one's sins and participation in the Communion of Christ's Holy Mysteries. The Holy Spirit does not live in a rotten barn! Neal Donald Walsh has corrupted Scripture! Looks like a satanist in general. This book is dangerous for everyone in terms of religious faith. Teaches how easy it is to live! Cultivates modern people to live comfortably. However, you can be sure that positive people are more easily offended over trifles and try not to notice someone else's misfortune! Happiness is the harmony of soul and body. Life is a sea, replaced by waves of grief and joy. God sends grief and sickness to some to test faith, and to others as punishment.

Book Review by Neil Donald Walsh.

Neil Walsh's books "Conversations With God", "Union with God" continue to tempt my acquaintances (non-Orthodox) by allegedly introducing them to spirituality and introducing them to the Path to salvation without any religion.
Walsh's God is an energy that has divided itself into parts (people) in order to look at itself, as it were, from the outside, in order to see how great He is. If we have a stick, then in order to find out whether it is big or small, there must also be another stick with which ours could be compared. If there is only one stick, then the concepts do not exist, they lose their meaning.

I will quote from Walsh's book, where he develops the idea of ​​how All That Is became that which is not, the idea of ​​creating an illusion, i.e. creation of the world.

"<БОГ: В начале было только то, что Есть, и не было больше ничего. Но это Все, Что Есть, не могло познать себя, поскольку Все, Что Есть, - это все, что было, и не было ничего больше. Итак, Все, Что Есть... не существовало. Поскольку, если нет чего-то другого, - Всего, Что Есть, тоже нет.

This is the great Being-Not-Existing that mystics have been talking about since time immemorial.
Now, All That Is knew that It is all that is, but that was not enough, because It could know about its absolute greatness at the level of concept, and not at the level of experience. And It longed to know itself, It wanted to know what it was like to be so great. But this was not possible, because the very definition is relative. All That Is could not know what it was like to feel great until that which was not manifested. As long as there is no what is not, what is is also not.
Do you understand this?

Walsh: I think so. Continue.

GOD: Good.

The only thing that All That Is knew was that there was nothing else. Thus, It could not and could never know Itself from a point of view external to Itself. There was no such point. There was only one point, and it was in one single place - inside. . All This Is - Not-is.

And so All That Is decided to experience Itself.

This energy - this pure, invisible, inaudible, unobservable and thus unknown to anyone else energy decided to experience Itself as the supreme splendor that It was. For this, as She understood, She had to use the internal reference point.

All That Is has decided, quite rightly, that any part of It must necessarily be less than the whole, and if It simply divides Itself into parts, then each part, being less than the whole, can look at the rest and see Its splendor.

And so, All That Is divided Itself, becoming in one fine moment what is this and what is that. For the first time, this and that existed completely separate from each other. And yet both existed at the same time.

All this is reminiscent of the ideas of Masonic authors: Andree - "Comprehensive and worldwide reformation of mankind", Bacon "New Atlantis", all the books of J. Bem. Then Blavatsky, R. Steiner, E. Roerich. Then the road leads either to Europeanized Hinduism (Vivekananda Rajneesh, Krishnamurti), or to SATANISM - Al. Crowley, LaVey.

I am afraid that the central participation in his books of monism, under the guise of "inseparability" of God and man, saying that I will never leave you, do not be afraid, man, cannot be explained by the difference in culture and, accordingly. thinking.
Protestantism is an Americanization in culture, but there is no monism in it. And here Walsh writes that it is thanks to this "unity" that God's love for man is absolute. Can this be called Love?
This is a picture of an INFINITE egoist who loves only himself and parts of his body:
fingers, hips, the path to satanism - the deification of oneself.
Love can only be a free act of two Personalities - one and the second, which is different, not the same as the first.
Unfortunately, I did not find the development of such critical ideas in any review of Walsh's books. Wherever you poke on the Internet, typing "Walsh review" in the search engine, you are surrounded by continuous admiration and advertising of books.
Rounded Rectangle:

So, I suggest checking Walsh's "revelation" for:

A) internal consistency and consistency;
b) ethical, moral component;
c) compatibility with Holy Scripture.

A) Consistency.
At the very beginning of the first book of Conversations with God, Walsh's God says - "Words are the least effective means of communication. They are the most open to misinterpretation and most often misunderstood. Why is this? It's in the very nature of words. In fact, words are only sounds, noises that denote feelings, thoughts and sensations. Words are symbols. Signs. Emblems. They are not Truth. They are not something real. "
Assuming that this is true, then such a statement destroys itself! Why then does God use a book of words to reach people through Walsh? Why should we believe anything in this book if the words are so useless and "just noises". If one wishes to be strictly logical, one might say that this statement makes the book meaningless and therefore there is no reason to read it. This is the first sign that the one dictating to Walsh could not be God, as he tried to convince us.
In the future, Walsh's God will repeatedly offer to read and reread his books, what happened to the words that are "noises"? :)
Further - "you attached so much importance to the Word of God and so little to experience. You heal the experience so little that when the test God sent you differs from what you heard from God, you automatically reject the experience and grab onto the words - and yet it should be just the opposite." (Conversations with God. Book I).
Well, let's try to put experience as the basis, but what in the same book is further called objective experience - "In fact, there is nothing evil - only objective phenomena and life experience.".
I explain the chip - what we, ordinary people who have not read "revelations", sometimes consider evil and sin, is just a life experience, which, as written earlier, should be put as the basis, in contrast to "noise words". So long live evil! "Everything is 'acceptable' in the eyes of God, for how can God not accept what is?" (Conversations with God. Book 1)

The logical incompatibility of the worldview put forward by Walsh with the actual freedom of man. I hope no one doubts that a person is still free? What about being free means being INDEPENDENT? I will confine myself to a quote for now -
"Man can be free only if God is free from the world, for if God is not free, but bound by the world, then He cannot be the guarantor of human independence from chains of cause and effect. God, on the other hand, can be completely free from the world and its laws only if the world is not contemporaneous with God, if the world is secondary in relation to it. Kant.
Finally, the logical-physical argument against pantheism is the Second Law of Thermodynamics - "The entropy of a closed system can only increase.". This means that NEVER inside a closed system there will be a transition from a state of chaos (entropy is maximum) to a state of order (entropy tends to zero). For this to happen, an influx of EXTERNAL force (energy) is required, i.e. the system is NOT closed. Thus, God cannot create the universe by being a part of it.

B) On the moral side, the hypnotic spell of "all-unity" is also quite capable of breaking even not religious, but ethical, "practical reason." He refuses to deify crime and cannibalism. Identification of God and the world, spirit and nature can lead a person to complete moral disorientation; for nature does not know the difference between good and evil. In this case, we should generally abandon the generally accepted ethics, because we should not be likened to a certain king who was ordered to carve a river. Walsh, on the other hand, draws a paradoxical conclusion from all this - “If you think that you were born in sin, that you are a sinner now and will always be a sinner, how will you act? But if you believe that you are One with God, that you are inseparable from the Divine, how then will you behave? That's what I'll tell you: you're an angel." (Conversations with God. New revelations.)
Thus, one of the main lines of the books is the assertion that the cause of failure, evil, etc. is the ignorance of a person that he is an angel, a part of God - "You love" ignorance ", unresolved, uncertainty. You love all this. That's why you are here." (Conversations with God. Book I). All this has long been described and refuted, including by Kuraev, -
“The human limited individuality, due to its ignorance, crushes and extinguishes the Single Stream of the Spirit. However, what kind of Absolute is this, which can so easily limit such a small thing as human ignorance?! Where does a person get such an opportunity to stop the flow of the Universal Power? nothing more than a manifestation, a phenomenon of this Energy, can it itself hold and stop?" - asks A. Kuraev in his book "Christian Philosophy and Pantheism"
In fact, no belief in one's own divinity saves a person from error, from sin, rather the opposite. An alcoholic can sincerely believe that he is a normal person, that a glass of alcohol at every meal will not hurt him, and he becomes addicted. The bribe-taker may sincerely believe that he lives honestly for the family - and cultivates in himself a passion for money and crime. But what is incomprehensible here - Dostoevsky long ago described this in the personality of Raskolnikov - if God - there is no personality above me, if I myself "have the right to everything", then everything is permitted ...
Moreover, if we are all one, and we are indeed God, and our separateness is a temporary illusion, then it follows that our bodies are only temporary containers for our soul. This is classic New Age and Gnostic views promoted by Walsh. According to him, the soul knows that its goal is "development", and there is no harm in leaving the body. The body is simply the "instrument" of the soul, and the physical body is the lower vibration of the "etheric" body.
"Of course, there is no such thing as death. 'Death' is just the name you gave to the experience of your soul transforming your body and mind as it reunites with All In All. Therefore, the soul participates in an endless cycle. Having experienced bliss samadhi and the ultimate Knowledge of Oneness, the soul again emerges from the All, regulates its vibrations and transforms its energy at a specific point in what you would call the space-time continuum. which you call "you" (Conversations with God. New Revelations.)

What follows from such a concept? Believing that the material body is an illusion or a temporary tool allows you to eliminate the negative attitude towards death. If we are really only a soul, then death is just an illusion, we really do not lose anything. In fact, liberation from the body is spiritual freedom and is the goal, according to the teachings of the New Age. And this idea can be used to support euthanasia, suicide and even murder, such as abortion. If liberation from the body is good, then how can people, killing, be bad in general:

So, according to the concept of Walsh "everything is one, you are one with everyone":

“Condemned ANOTHER - it's you who condemned YOURSELF.
Slandered OTHERS - it's you who slandered YOURSELF.
You beat ANOTHER - it's you who beat YOURSELF.
You killed ANOTHER - it was you who killed YOURSELF.

But this is selfishness, not love. In this case, a person shows generosity to others, only because he, supposedly, is trying for himself. Well, for yourself, trying is sacred :)
And on the other hand, if a person is one with other people, then he quite logically has the right to blame others for his sins, poverty, failures, etc. After all, if he is so tightly connected with them, then the reason for all this is on them!

Thus, the ethical component of Walsh's teachings is on top, only with a negative sign:

C) I would not compare the judgments of this book and the Bible, because I know that most of my opponents are far from light bulbs - whether some gospel contradicts them or not, for them this is not authority. But since God Walsh himself quotes the Bible many times (albeit without quotes and without references), then apparently he still considers it an authority. But what is his lie?
"What is described as the fall of Adam was in fact his rise - the greatest event in the history of mankind. Without this, the world of relativity would not exist. The act of Adam and Eve was not original sin, but truly the first blessing. And you should thank them from the heart." (Conversations with God. Unusual dialogue. Book 1)
In fact, Adam and Eve did not have to break the commandment of God in order to learn to distinguish between good and evil and become "like gods." Adam was already very wise - "The Lord God formed from the earth all the animals of the field and all the birds of the air, and brought them to man to see what he would call them, and so that, as a man called every living soul, that was her name. (Genesis 2.19)" That is, he saw the very essence of every beast and, according to this essence, the animal was given a name. It is even ridiculous to assume that a person of such wisdom, so close to God that he directly contemplated Him, did not know what good and evil are. It’s just that people didn’t know yet, they didn’t do evil in practice, experimentally. After all, the verb "to know" in the Bible has a practical meaning, remember "Adam knew Eve, his wife." In this way, Walsh extols practical evil, it's like saying to a person who has never used a drug - "you are not perfect, you do not know what drugs are, you have not known the fullness of being."

I repeat, I do not want an unsophisticated person, after reading Walsh's books, to think that he has learned a "new divine revelation" and be deceived by this lie. If people, after reading Walsh's Discourses, do not believe that they came from God, and accordingly will critically examine the text, distinguishing the truth contained there from the disguised lies, then my goal is automatically achieved. I win before the battle starts.
But if these books were indeed dictated by a spiritual being (as Walsh claims), then this is a subtle attempt by Satan to sound like God, misquoting scripture and distorting its meaning. Typical of Satan, the words are contradictory and the answers are evasive. "He preaches love" and "the highest" ideas and thoughts "and no wonder: because Satan himself takes the form of an Angel of light, and therefore it is not a great thing if his servants take the form of servants of truth; but their end will be according to their deeds." (2 Cor. 11:14-15).
Flattering words suggesting that I am God and can do whatever I want. But the false words of Satan, trying to disguise themselves with the truth, are too many. He is betrayed by hostility to Christ and attacks on Holy Scripture -
"With these scriptures you justified and explained your most barbaric acts." (N.D. Walsh. Conversations with God. New Revelations.)
"And who said that Jesus was perfect!" (N. D. Walsh. Conversations with God. Unusual Dialogue. Book I)
Accordingly, we find in Walsh what we find in contemporary Satanists. They say a lot of beautiful words, such as: "freedom", "divinity", "wisdom" - and this lure works, because few of us know how to think critically. But under these beautiful words lies a very ugly reality, and I will try as carefully as possible to peel off all this tinsel and call a spade a spade: slavery to passions, lust, pride, refusal of spiritual work on oneself, indifference -
"Passion is the fire that allows us to express who we really are. Never deny passion, for that would be tantamount to denying Who You Are and Who You Truly Want To Be...
Living your life with no expectations - no need for concrete results - that is freedom. This is Divinity. This is how I live." (N. D. Walsh. Conversations with God. Unusual dialogue. Book I)
And it is not at all necessary for Satan that people personally believe in him, the main task is to lead a person away from the true God, if for this it is necessary to inspire a person that no devil exists, well, he agrees to this -
"Of course, there is no Satan" (N. D. Walsh Conversations with God. Unusual dialogue. Book 2).
As Clive Lewis rightly said, demons want to be disbelieved.

Conclusion - "Conversations with God"? No, but with the enemy of mankind, conversations with the devil - a liar!
