Product Description: Resuming the dialogue where Book 1 left off, Conversations with God, Book 2 moves from personal issues to more global and political concerns. Included are questions about the nature of time and space and human sexuality, as well as geophysical and geopolitical considerations of worldwide implication.
Amazon.com Review: In Conversations with God: Book II, Neale Walsch and God resume their discussion and move on to larger topics than the personal issues addressed in their previous dialogue in Volume 1. For an "unedited transcript" of a conversation, Book II is remarkably well organized and articulate, as if Walsch anticipatd our "but what about" questions before we asked them. The peculiar pair discuss time, space, politics, and even kinky sex, but Conversations with God: Book II isn't here for just shock value. It is an honest look at some of the broad issues important to all of us on the planet, and a suggestion of how things might go if we are all willing to open our minds and have our own conversations with divinity. --Brian Patterson
History from everyone's point of view I thought the idea of telling children history from all sides and letting them decide for themselves was interesting. This happened to me when I was 13/14. I was in Pakistan studying for a Pakistan Studies exam. I had Indian books, Pakistani books and British books about 1947- when India left the British empire and India split up into India and Pakistan. Everyone made everyone else to be the bad guy and themselves the good guy. I was so confused.
So when it was time to write the sequence of events on the exam paper, I could barely remember people's names and dates let alone what it all meant. India wanted the British to leave. Gandhi was working on that. Initially Jinnah was just working on the British leaving India too until some people didn't want to let him join the Indian national congress because he was Muslim. And Gandhi was like "let Jinnah join" and kept on asking Jinnah to come back. Riots erupted all over India. Muslims and Hindues were killing each other. Indian Muslims walked to the Iran border asking to be let in. The Iranians said no and many Muslims died on the way back. And then Jinnah was like we'll try for a separate country for Muslims and that became Pakistan. (And since Pakistan doesn't close its borders to other Muslims refugees all the looneys from Afghanistan keep on coming into Pakistan to this day) In the end all the key players were assassinated- Gandhi in India, the British Lord Mountbatten in UK by the IRA and Jinnah wasn't technically assassinated in Pakistan but he had a heart attack and the ambulance came 3 hours later and people said it was on purpose that it came so late and Jinnah died. So it was a very thankless job all three of them ended up having. The end.
They gave me a C on that exam. Oh well.
The book had a lot of commentary on politics and almost reminded me of listening to people talk on MSNBC or NPR.
In most near death experiences as reported to nderf, people have a flash back of their whole entire lives in which they can hear the thoughts of everyone involved in the memory. So they see the flash backs from not only their point of view but from the point of view of everyone involved.
Most people get really mortified and embarrassed by little things they did like leaving their pet out in the heat and feeling its discomfort. So I can't imagine the flash back of someone who really caused others a lot of pain being very pleasant even if after that there's only heaven.
I really liked the notion though that people act in accordance to the information that they have.
Completely CONTRADICTS THE BIBLE There is alot of good stuff in these books for you to think about and learn from. BUT, IT SAYS INCREDIBLY HORRIBLE THINGS THAT ARE SUPPOSEDLY OK WITH GOD, SUCH AS CHILD MOLESTATION for example. I was very excited about this collection but half way through book 1, I threw them all in the recycle bin. The movie however was excellent and extremely uplifting. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU RENT THE MOVIE AND FORGET ABOUT THESE BOOKS. The movie does not delve into the things that GOD is supposedly telling him that he writes in his books. DON`T WASTE YOURE MONEY ON THESE BOOKS !

Awakening to the Wisdom of Feeling CWG Book 2 expands upon the concepts presented in the first book, but the focus is more upon the collective consciousness. In similar dialog fashion, the reader is drawn into a more inclusive idea of what constitutes thought creating reality.
In one section, the author mentions how "getting back to your senses" means a return to how you feel, not to how you think. He describes feelings as the language of the soul. It is a brilliant reminder that our feelings are the reality of human experience and as such are a reliable indicator of where we are at on a soul level.
By describing how we create our collective reality, we are led to understand that nothing we do, say or think is without consequence in the world or in our own experience of it.
This book is a wonderful sequel to the beginning of the dialog in Book One.
Another book that describes the effect and implications of collective consciousness is High Way from Hell: Using Emotion to Fan the Fire of Enlightment.
Another book to add to my collection I thought it interesting when I read the beginning of the book and the author states that the book ends up in the hands of those who are searching. Yep, that's me alright! I have been reading a lot of books on this sort of subject from authors such as Ether Hicks, Story Waters, and Rhonda Byrnes, so a lot of this material did not seem so foreign to me, especially when it briefly covered the "law of attraction." This book did a lot for me in answering questions that I still found no answers to. Questions such as "is there such a thing as evil?" and "is there such a thing as hell?," among many others. The truth that ran from those words resounded deep in my soul and I was comforted in the fact that I finally got the answers I was looking for. Even though the book is solely a conversation between the author and God (who's answers are being received by the author's thoughts), I never found it boring. In fact, I looked forward to reading it each day. The only thing I would have liked to see different in this book (and why I give it four out of five stars) is that I would have preferred that the author would have remained conversing about spiritual, religious and philosophical matters. When he started going into such things as politics and economics, I admittedly did not find it as interesting as the other parts of the book because these are not areas of study that I find too interesting. Word of caution though: religion, our current way of life, and many other things are heavily bashed and criticized in this book, so if you may get offended easily, this may not be the book for you. That being said, this is truly an excellent book, and I recommend it to anyone who is searching for answers regarding ourselves, each other and our relationship with the Divine.
The Best Books You Will Ever Read! I highly recommend reading the Conversations With God series of 3 books in order. If you're not satisfied with what you've grown up being told about God and creation and spirituality and you're looking for answers with an open heart and an open mind, then these books will truly change your life! You don't have to believe everything you read, because you'll know when you read it if it rings true in your heart and soul. Beware, theres a lot of information in these 3 books, you must be spiritually open and ready to learn the truth! The revalations in these books will change you forever!
