Takes up where the Course left off
|
|
As a long-time student of A Course in Miracles and various teachings under the umbrella of advaita vedanta I was beginning to think that all that needed to be said was already out there. So much of what passes for spiritual insight these days I have found shallow and trite and I was not remotely interested when a close friend passed me a copy of Love Without End. Assuming it was just another new-age, loved-up dialogue full of platitudes it gathered dust on my shelf until one day I came across Glenda Green's website by chance. Fascinated by the story of how Jesus appeared to her and asked her to paint his portrait (though dubious about the authenticity of such a subjective experience) I decided to give the book a go. I couldn't put it down! Having read the Course I felt that much of the language and mode of expression from Jesus was similar (I have studied linguistics) and by the end was both convinced of its authenticity and its message. So many gaps are filled in here. There is so much that I haven't heard before and what I HAVE heard before is presented in a fresh new way. Jesus' message is to enter the Sacred Heart, which is the equivalent of lifting oneself above the battlefield of one's life rather than trying to fix things from our limited perspective. What he explains is a kind of fast track to awakening which, in this stage of the world's evolution, has now become perfectly possible. The metaphysics of the Course explains things to the Mind; Love Without End opens the Heart.

Rare Treat
|
I got this as a gift, and was at first not attracted to the title or the topic. Then, after two years, I read it last spring. Wow! I was hugely surprised. The book is not at all 'churchy' or 'Jesus-y' (two things that had put me off from the title). It was so clear and had such inspirational punch and practical wisdom that I have since purchased 4 other copies and had them shipped to friends around the world (really!). Anyone with any spiritual or metaphysical tendencies at all will love this.
I had heard that the Being featured in 'Love Without End: Jesus Speaks' is the same Being that dictated 'A Course in Miracles'. I don't know for sure, but it seems plausible to me. It's the same 'voice' as the Course, and a similar vibe, but not so formal or 'texty'-- much more approachable and fun!
'Love Without End' was truly a gift to me in all respects. A gift of the book itself from my friends, of course, and a gift of insight and vision from the universe. I was uplifted and informed; it changed my life for the better. I was empowered by it. If you breathe, if you have a heart, if you desire any kind of Higher Vision, strength, and joy in your life, you owe it to yourself to give this a read. It may not be for everybody--- but hey, I'm not everybody, and neither are you.

After getting over my own initial skepticism of the author's experience with Jesus Christ (which in and of itself was a growth experience for me!), I found the book to be enthralling. I could not put it down and have enthusiastically recommended it to friends and family - who have also loved it. I foud the book chock full of provocative, stimulating material that answers the seemingly unanswerable yet it is presented in a loving, palatable manner. Having also read all three Converstaions With God, I found this book to be well beyond that material in scope and just as easy to follow. This book "connected the dots" for me on the whole mind, body, spirit, universe topic and even left me with lots to contemplate regarding the incredible science/spirituality convergence. I would highly recommend this book to anyone (and everyone) with even the slightest questions about life and its meaning.

Brings to mind "Conversations with God"...

This book brings to mind "Conversations with God". The Author is very "wordy" and psuedo-philosophical. The entire book lacks inspiration and insight. If she did indeed meet the "real" Jesus she fails to relate and express this phenomenon intimately and "spiritually" to the reader. Not impressed.
