Passed on by a friend, I recently read a book titled Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch. Reiterating the title, it is an uncommon dialogue and as I delved further, I realised that those questions were no different from mine which I have had all my life. For author Donald, it was a conscious/sub-conscious tete-a-tete with God until he got all his answers, all his doubts cleared. For obvious reasons I could not bring myself to believing that God Himself would seemingly appear to talk and listen to a distressed soul in despair. Hence, I read the book assuming that I am having an enlightening conversation with an erudite sage, blessed with immense knowledge. That was easier. And as I flipped the pages, I realized that the questions/doubts Walsch had were almost like mine, as if he sneaked a peek in my within. I could so well relate to them effortlessly. Some of the answers, most of them in fact were like revelations, changing how I perceived life and its circumstances. There were morsels of knowledge my conscious mind couldn't agree; of which I decided I'd rather ignore them and absorb the rest. To some, it would sound blasphemous, much better if you can peruse it my way. I will not detail the content of the book here, but would definitely like to recommend it to avid readers. Well, it surely is a good read for self-reflection. Enjoy!
