Marianne Williamson Quote (off topic)

[Guest guest]

Well, I went by B & N tonight, and sat with both books

for a while...I found " A Course In Miracles " by the

Foundation for Inner Peace, which threw me off,

because I thought it was written by Marianne W. It

seems that she wrote a book complementing " A Course In

Miracles " ...I still plan to check hers out, but they

didn't have it at the store. As for the original " A

Course... " , I found that it was not written for me. It

was very dense, and the material was a little too

cryptic, IMO...I also didn't like the type of thin

paper used in the book, and the numbering of each

sentence. All these things added up to a tough read,

which I decided to forego. I also decided to wait on

" A Return to Love " until I read her " A Course In

Miracles " ...I don't know why I had the urge to do

this, but it just seemed to be the right thing to do.

I did end up picking up some nice books which I can't

wait to dig in to: The Power of Twelve: Achieving

12-Strand DNA Consciousness by Anne Brewer,

Conversations With God Book 1 Guidebook, Ken Wilber's

A Brief History of Everything, and last but surely not

least, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. The first

two seem to tie in with what I'm already doing in my

life at this time, and are natural extensions, and the

latter two just call out to me each and every time I

go to a bookstore, so I decided to finally pay

attention and take them home! LOL

 

Anyway, let me know what you find when you dig into

them!

 

Love, Jen

Jennifer,

I love how you said certain books have called out to you! I always

say a quick prayer before entering a bookstore for God to lead me to the book

I need and He always does! Also, I firmly believe that there is energy in

the written word and if that is not energy that you need at the time you will

not be inclined to read it. You should never feel guilty about not reading

something that everyone is telling you that you should: when you need the

info you will be dying to read the book. Follow your heart and you will

always be led where you need to go. jackie

PS> I love Marianne Williamson!

I agree! It's really wonderful how it works, isn't it?

I must admit, I was a wee bit disappointed that ACIM

didn't appeal to me more, because I doubt now that I

will ever read it, but I have heard so much about it,

and I felt as if I'm missing out on something...but of

course that's not even possible! There is as much

truth contained in a cloud as there is in any book

ever written. It's just a matter of being willing to

experience it.

BTW, I just ordered the Return To Love audiobook. Is

that a good first choice to go with? I always want to

be " introduced " to an author appropriately...

thanks, Jen

Jen,

A Return To Love is a great book! I really hop you enjoy it! Also,

don't feel bad if you never read ACIM> I too, feel that I will never read

that book. But, I feel that if you read Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra,

Wayne Dyer, Neale Donald Walsh, etc. you have read ACIM. All of these

wonderful authors are talking about the same things in different ways. You

will read the ones that speak the message to you in the way you can

understand. After all. the Truth is the Truth is the Truth no matter how it

is presented. Happy Reading! jackie
