Conversations With God : An Uncommon Dialogue (Book #3)
Amazon Description:
In keeping with the first two books in this trilogy, Conversations With God, Book 3 continues to clarify the muddy waters of our spiritual existence, but moves from individual and global issues to "universal truths," which apply to all levels of existence from the microscopic to the macrocosmic. It is difficult to criticize God, but if he is as pleasant as he presents himself in Walsch's books, then he won't mind the paltry mention of a structural problem. A hefty portion of Conversations With God, Book 3 backtracks to topics that were well covered in Book 1, and while a certain amount of recap is good to build on, Walsch's repeated return to these earlier conversations gets a bit frustrating for the reader who is familiar with the earlier books. Minor blemishes aside, Conversations With God, Book 3 explores some of the most fantastic subjects that people are prone to ponder under starry evening skies: What happens when we die? What is time? Are we alone in the universe? Walsch's dialogue with the creator puts these and other imponderables into comprehendible terms. If these revelations are true, and it is ultimately up to us to know them as truths or not, then the universe is a very intriguing place, and we haven't come close to realizing our potential in understanding it. However, the great thing Conversations With God, Book 3 makes clear is that we can understand the universe if we so choose. --Brian Patterson

There's nothing I have to have, there's nothing I have to do, and there's nothing I have to be, except exactly what I am being right now.
That does not mean that “having” and “doing” will be eliminated from your life. It means that what you experience yourself having or doing will spring from your being - not lead you to it.
When you come from “happiness”, you do certain things because you are happy - as opposed to the old paradigm in which you did things that you hoped would make you happy.
When you come from “wisdom”, you do certain things because you are wise, not because you are trying to get to wisdom.
When you come from “love”, you do certain things because you are love, not because you want to have love.
Everything changes; everything turns around, when you come from “being”, rather than seeking to “be.” You cannot “do” your way to “being”. Whether you are trying to “be” happy, be wise, be love - or be God - you cannot “get there” by doing. And yet, it is true that you will be doing wonderful things once you “get there.”
Here is the Divine Dichotomy. The way to “get there” is to “be there.” Just be where you choose to get!
It's that simply. There's nothing you have to do. You want to be happy? Be happy. You want to be wise? Be wise. You want to be love?
Be love.
That is Who You Are in any event.
You are my Beloved.
