Browsing through a bookstore today with a friend I cam across the Conversation With God series and pointed them out to her - she was intrigued and it brought to mind how important these books were in redefining my relationship and experience with God. Whether or not one chooses to believe that the author (Neale Donald Walshe) had a intimate conversation with God is irrelevant - the books hint at the development of our own personal conversation with God and ask the all important questions - are we listening? We all have our own personal bible to write, our own song of God to sing and yet the painted image of a distant figure keeps us from having this conversation. If you hear birds singing outside your window on a beautiful spring day - you are being invited to have a conversation with God. The question is this a language we wish to speak? Or will the voice of ego dictate every conversation we have with ourselves as it most commonly does. A willingness to be open to dialogue is important to any conversation - and no less to the one God wishes to have with us. I think looking at these books today was an important reminder to listen...and reconnect.
Peace,
Eric
