Maybe the Universe Just Isn't That Into You!: Spiritual Responsibility in a Fluffy Bunny World

by Colette Brown

You have read the little books of affirmations, done the daily angel/oracle/astrological inspiration thing? Fine...me too! But it has all gone too far. We now have a great swathe of spiritual people who are giving up personal responsibilty for their actions and claiming that simple bad decisions are the work of Spirit/God/Universe. It has to stop. Everything is a 'lesson' or a 'gift'. So here is the book that debunks the usual suspects. It shows up what is simply a lack of strength and character when things go so wrong that 'Spirit told me to do it' is simply an excuse for someone looking to avoid facing the truth in their own life. Yes...it's an angry and non-subtle book. It is needed in an ocean of fluffy-bunny rainbows. It is time for the pendulum to swing the other way.

This book is funny and witty - and yet, the author's observations and comments call for serious consideration. Certainly, the author has used exaggerated caricatures to make points (hence, the humor). In our global world, there is great access to many spiritual practices and teachers. It can be easy to get caught up in searching for the right person, the right modality, the easy solution - with no discernment and personal responsbility. This book is a timely reminder that each of us needs to take responsbility for our own spiritual growth, and not get caught up in the newest fad. The book makes you think - and smile!

Finally some spiritual common sense, absolute truth and guidance (or a slap up the side of the head awakening) to take responsibility for ourselves, our words and our actions.

Colette picks you up by the shoulders...gives you a good shake and sets you firmly on your own two feet, opening up fluffy bunny views of spirituality and bringing in reality...what a relief!

This book made me nod in agreement on every single page and laugh out loud on more than one occasion, it should be required reading for everyone who claims to walk a spiritual path.

Written with humour and warmth, this book is an invitation to let go of all the nonsense faux-spiritual thinking can bog us down with. It may also work well as a sanity keeper for people who run moots or are otherwise exposed to the frustrating delusions of people who will, it sometimes appear, believe anything except that which is most pertinent and obvious.

Brill read :-)

I laughed and found myself nodding my head in parts. A well written book, looking at Spirituality from a diverse angle and which may inspire self exploration and deep thinking!
