New Revelations - Part Three

The New Revelations: A Conversation with God by Neale Donald Walsch is a dangerous book. Depending on what you believe, what you have been taught, it may make you angry. It may scare the hell out of you or it may open your mind and expand your belief systems. It may also close your mind and entrench your current beliefs. Or it may confirm what you have always suspected. It made me wonder. It made me examine and explore what I believe and the meaning of God and Life.

Was God actually communicating with Neale Donald Walsch? Who knows? Does God still do that? Or did God stop handing down revelations with the Book of Revelations written by John at the end of the Bible. Or did God’s last words come to us from Mohammad’s conversation with God in a cave as written in the Quran? Perhaps God said all he had to say when he gave Moses the 10 Commandments up on the mountain. Are the sacred texts of the world’s major religions all we have to know…God? And of all the world religions, which one is the one true religion that human beings should follow? Which of the texts are the TRUE words of God?

In the book, God reveals Nine New Revelations to Neale Donald Walsch. God talks about a New Spirituality to transcend and expand our world religions. God challenges our old beliefs that no longer work, that no longer serve us and the evolution of human beings. So what are those New Revelations from God?

First New Revelation

God has never stopped communicating directly with human beings. God has been communicating with, and through, human beings from the beginning of time. God does so today.

Second New Revelation

Every human being is as special as every other human being who has ever lived, lives now, or ever will live. You are all Messengers. Every one of you. You are carrying a message to life about life every day. Every hour. Every moment.

Third New Revelation

No path to God is more direct than any other path. No religion is the “one true religion,” no people are “the chosen people,” and no prophet is the “greatest prophet.”

Fourth New Revelation

God needs nothing. God requires nothing in order to be happy. God is happiness itself. Therefore, God requires nothing of anyone or anything in the universe.

Fifth New Revelation

God is not a singular Super Being, living somewhere in the Universe or outside of it, having the same emotional needs and subject to the same emotional turmoil as humans. That Which Is God cannot be hurt or damaged in any way, and so, has no need to seek revenge or impose punishment.

Sixth New Revelation

All things are One Thing. There is only One Thing, and all things are part of the One Thing That Is.

Seventh New Revelation

There is no such thing as Right and Wrong. There is only What Works and What Does not Work, depending upon what it is that you seek to be, do, or have.

Eighth New Revelation

You are not your body. Who you are is limitless and without end.

Ninth New Revelation

You cannot die, and you will never be condemned to eternal damnation

So there you have the New Revelations from God given to and written down by Neal Donald Walsch. Some are very familiar and some might be considered blasphemous. I can only guess at the range of emotions they will trigger. I will say it again, this is a dangerous book. Human beings define themselves by their beliefs and even when those beliefs are false and no longer serve them, they find it hard to change a long held view of the world and their place in it. I am personally working through revelations # 6 and #7, but I found the book and Walsch’s back and forth dialogue with God most interesting and enlightening. I welcome your comments, especially if you were brave enough to read the book.

I offer this third and final part of the series as…
