This man has written thousands of pages over several best-selling books documenting his "conversation with God". If he is really having a conversation, it is clearly with a demon or with some schizophrenic fragment of himself. It saddens me to see so many people taken in by his false spirituality. Here are some quotes from "God" from Walsch's book Friendship with God:
"There is no way for you not to return to Heaven, for there is no place else to go." (p. 168)
"What kind of change do you create in that part of yourself that you call the mosquito... You cannot kill a mosquito against its will. At some level, the mosquito has chosen that." (p. 371)
"Is it okay to cut off your hair? Is it okay to cut out your heart? Is there any difference? ... I have no will separate from your own ... It is not for me to tell you what is right or wrong, what is better or worse, what to do and what not to do." (p. 386)
Here we have two premises leading to a conclusion. Premise one: our actions in life have no consequences in the afterlife. Premise two: all things are God. Conclusion: My will is supreme over all things and I can do whatever I want. This kind of thinking is fairly typical when western modernism (premise one) is combined with eastern pantheism (premise two). Hindus are pantheists, but because they have a concept of moral responsibility (karma), they do not arrive at the conclusion of a western New Ager like Neale Donald Walsch.
Sin is ugly. It is a very difficult thing to admit our sins and accept responsibility for them. At the root of most popular spirituality, you will find a denial of personal responsibility. It is easy to understand the appeal of this kind of spirituality, but it is philosophically bankrupt and does not give us the kind of true freedom that we can only get through Divine Mercy.
Laugh Therapy
Sunday the 5th of May is World Laughter Day. What does one do on World Laughter Day? Why, laugh, of course. At what, you may ask? Well... nothing, actually. We are encouraged to induce the positive brain state that comes with mirthful laughter with all its psychological and physical side-effects, even when there is nothing to laugh at. The goal of World Laughter day is to achieve world peace by getting everyone to chuckle away their troubles. This bizarre practice points to a more widespread problem. People almost universally have the desire to make the world right again. In this case, there is a confusion between true inner joy, which comes from God, and the physical sensation associated with joy, which comes from brain chemicals
