Conversations with God

It is a huge book containing nearly 3000 pages of material in a sequence of nine books written by Neale Donald Walsch. One of the main ideas presented in "Conversations with God" reveals that at the highest level there is no separation between anything and there is only one of us; there is only God, and everything is God. It is idea taken from Spinoza who argued that God and Nature were two names for the same reality, namely the single substance that underlies the universe and of which all lesser "entities" are actually modes or modifications, that all things are determined by Nature to exist and cause effects, and that the complex chain of cause and effect are only understood in part. That humans presume themselves to have free will, he argues, is a result of their awareness of appetites while being unable to understand the reasons why they want and act as they do. Well do we really want to give up our individuality and possibly our free will? Or is it just convenient for some people to think that we have no free will, hence we can not be accountable for our actions.
