In honour of International Women's Day
One more book I'd like to read is by Judy Rebick. Transforming Power talks about the changing face of feminism and the ongoing oppression of women by a system built on patriarchy, capitalism, and colonialism. Here's a post she wrote in honour of today over at rabble.ca.
Walsch: The Two Faced God
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. Tomorrow's GodTomorrow's God, Walsch argues, destroys nothing, rejects nothing and punishes nothing (131). Yesterday's God is a two-faced God but Tomorrow's God is consistent and congruent.
Walsch: Raising the Vibration by taking the First Step
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 for the world "for it increases the speed and raises the frequency of the vibration of the Life Energy."
Walsch: The Fourth Transformation
I'm well in to Part 2 of Tomorrow's GodTomorrow's God by Neale Donald Walsch. While Part 1 explained what Tomorrow's God would look like, Part 2 explains how our world will change and how we will change when our beliefs evolve to this new way of thinking – when we believe that We are all One.
Walsch: Tomorrow's Kids Hitting a Little Too Close To Home
Chapter 21 of Tomorrow's GodTomorrow's God by Neale Donald Walsch deals with kids and education – looking at what we are doing to raise our kids now and what it will be like Tomorrow.
Have you ever squirmed because what you were reading was hitting a little closer to home than you would like? Well, I was totally squirming during this description of today's kids:
Walsch: Tomorrow's Political System and Participatory Democracy
In Tomorrow's GodTomorrow's God's discussion of politics, Walsch advances the idea that Tomorrow we will accept that every person brings their cultural values and sacred beliefs to the process of politics – that we will openly combine spirituality and politics (247). And that because we are open about it and operating from the belief that All are One, our political culture will massively change.
Walsch: Tomorrow's Economy and Wealth Redefined
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, hospitals, and elder care facilities?" to which Walsch answers quality of life (280).
Shimoff: Feeling happier already
So far, I am enjoying Happy for No ReasonHappy for No Reason, there are stories, cartoon, and graphics. Have I mentioned I love graphics? There was also a questionnaire to measure my Happiness – and I got 63%, not too shabby for a self-avowed cranky person. Have I mentioned I love questionnaires?
Ack! Too many books, not enough time…
I've totally blown it. My fabulous course, Embodied Wisdom, starts on Monday and I have only read one of the four required books and none of the recommended ones.
I admit, I got lost in Jung's Memories, Dreams, Reflections. Who wouldn't? After all, it is incredibly rich material.
