Summary: We Have Lived in an Illusion (According to This)
Comment: I have been one of Neale's strident advocates, especially Book 1, which I still consider the most important book in the entire CWG series. It doesn't seem like the other books in the series not entitled with "CWG" have received such noteriety. Following Books 1,2,3 and Friendship with God, comes this last book...Communion (or so we are lead to believe, as there is a hint even in this book...about another one). I found book 1 to be of substance which slowly degraded in 2 and 3, occasionally on diatriabes against the ills of humanity and how "masters" and beings of elevated races do it better than we do (once again, we look like apes). I was very hopeful for something spectacular in "Communion," but alas, we are informed, we are living in our own illusions...something the Buddha said a long time ago. What Communion consists of is a set of 10 illusions we all participate in...and it made me wonder, hmmm...am I participating in an illusion by reading this book? I don't buy into the causality of illusion too well, and frankly, I think its a cop out. God says he doesn't like pain and suffering, yet we have all the free will we desire, to hang ourselves! Such a deal! I also don't buy the finality of this "LAST" work from God, as God never does stop talking, or so Book 1 said. Which means, Donald is getting writer's cramp and God needs to find another author...if all we are going to be served up, is a diatribe about illusions. But what most IRKED me, were some of the ending conclusions of this book...after at least three enlightened (tho opinionated at times) books, we are lead to the following loving conclusions:
pg 200 "Do not imagine that spirituality and politics do not mix. Politics is spirituality, demonstrated." ...Hogwash, politics is the abysmal sewer of humanity! It is the one thing which has no problem with controlling all of us...in conjunction with the following....
Pg 200 "And do not imagine that religion and spirituality are not one and the same..." Hogwash, religion is a man-made contrivance which we all know, will never give up its need to be in control of all of us.
So, if we all have free will, how then are we finally pontificated in the end here to "Do not" do this and "Do not" do that...do not use the imagination we are supposed to have that creates the illusion which this book illudes to us? I was sorely disappointed. Somewhere along the way, I think God got intimidated by religion and gave in (or was it the politicians knocking on Neale's front door to "shut up?"). I am not so sure, but I have this sinking feeling in my gut, and from what I learned in Book 1, I need to trust my feelings...those feelings are saying...something isn't right in Communion...something isn't right in Communion...something...isn't right!
In conclusion, I find this book to be a sore conclusion to what was...one of the best books I have ever read on spirituality, namely CWG, Book 1...one which shall remain a cornerstone. But this book hit an all time low in my opinion, sort of like the sequel that failed.
I think there are some serious things we all have to consider, when reading the pontifications and the abjurances contained herein. I just hope Neale is able to pull out of the nose dive and plateau at a level in the future (if there is to be one) somewhat closer to where he attained it in Book 1.

Summary: Interesting...
Comment: As someone who works for a hotel which has housed the "Conversations With God" seminars, I can safely say that the author of this text is amazingly rude for someone who claims to speak to God. Remember Mr. Walsh, the Divine loves all people, even those underlings who work the front desk and arrange your overpriced 'classes' :)

Summary: God Logic
Comment: Communion With God is the most logical and comprehensive explanation of GOD and our existence that I have ever experienced. Neale has expressed our connection to Source and each other with clarity and humility. While reading this book, I found my own truth validated by yet another person. I highly recommend all of Neale's books and videos to all people of all spiritual paths.
