Emmanuel's Book II: The Choice for Love
Fear tells you, “I want to make you safe.”
Love says, “you are safe.”
Fear would walk you on a narrow path.
Love says, “open your arms and fly with me.”
—Emmanuel
Emmanuel’s great wisdom—coming to us through channel Pat Rodegast—has illuminated thousands of lives. Emmanuel’s Book revealed deeply enriching truths about our place in the cosmos and the evolutionary destiny of the human soul.
Now Emmanuel shines his light on the limitless power of love—and the prison house of fear. With startling directness and gentle wit, he confronts ageless questions such as “Why am I here?” and contemporary questions such as “How can we help the homeless?” Whether we struggle with personal confusion and pain or with the dilemmas of a troubled world, this wonderful new collection brings us singular comfort, assurance, and encouragement on our way to wholeness.

I completely object to the "new age" classification that this book was stuck with! All of Emmanuel's Books share the same wisdom and guidance that all the great religions have throughout history--but without all of the mess that people have created in religion's name. Start with the original Emmanuel's Book, simply because it's an introduction to Emmanuel. There is nothing in any of the books that will not make sense if you have not read the earlier version(s), though. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I will quote directly from page 205
"are there conscious dark or evil forces at work in opposition to God?"
(answer) no. no. no. there is only ignorance, which breeds fear.
That answer may be true for some people as part of their experience, meaning they have not experienced evil or dark forces. When you experience those things, it means it is possible, and invalidates that answer being true in an absolute sense. It's not different from an atheist to proclaim that there is no God, because he has had no spiritual experiences.
To me there is nothing worse than spiritual teachings that ignore the existence of evil forces, and pass it off as some form of innocent ignorance and fear. I have experienced dark spirit entities, for several years, and they are as pure in terms of malice and ill intent as any being that is good. I would not wish them upon the worst human being. Half baked spiritual teachings based on contrived idealism that deny the existence of dark beings or forces are themselves a form of ignorance.

A stimulating continuation from where the first volume left off, blending Eastern and Western metaphysical philosophies with an eye towards the practical and how to conceptualize life in the most productive terms possible. Ostensibly communicated via a snarky ghost.

Delightful, light weighted; insights are given to questions asked in the form of short paragraphs, or a few sentences…
