REVIEWS

Have you ever wished that every one of your days made total sense and held for you a high probability of new exciting experiences that made life worth living in all the ways that really count? Well I certainly did. That is what I spent the past thirty years searching for.

Finding spirituality through raising consciousness is the path I have been in diligent pursuit of to try and get to the point of a better, happier, healthier, and wealthier life. I have traveled the world and I always ask the people I meet if they would like to have those blessings.

They often provide the obvious answers 'Sure' and 'Of Course' but when I proceed to ask them how they plan to get there, the realization usually sets in that they hadn't given it much thought. Yet there is always that occassional sagely wise soul claiming to be at some ethereal place, in which case I always ask for their secret and while I know it will surprise you, even they cannot define the mystery of their success nor can they explain what that special place is like or how to get there.

Recently, I came across what looked like a very curious book on Amazon while searching Google for some on-line counseling. It's called 'I Am God: Here's my Message (For Your Mind Body & Spirit in the Physical Material & Spiritual World)'. I bought the book for $11.70 and it arrived at a time that I was feeling quite depressed since it was the anniversary of the passing of my Mom. While the cover and flaps were uniquely appealing, I put no more faith in this book providing any major answers in my life than the huge library of uplifting works that already crowd my family room book shelves and provide good financial support for Authors who dominate the genre but I suspect are mostly still searching for spiritual happiness themselves because it always seems that their books are really more of a summary and analysis of their own path as opposed to the actual practice of it.

But to my great big, no make that gigantic, surprise this beautiful and mighty little paperback (which lists the author as GOD, or 'divinely inspired by him'...hmmm?) has been a game changer in the great big tournament of life at least to this one reader and seeker of truth.

Many new and expansive revelations of enlightenment and clarity came to me in the first several days of practicing the meditation and prayers at the end of what is a really short easy to read book (104 pages). It explains why the world is failing, what life means, compares spirituality and religion, says why utopia is possible and then sets forth a simple 15-20 minute exercise that gets you well on the path to the spiritual development of a sage yogi in less than a month, or so it said. Sounds like a cheap promo, I know, but since this is really presented as a 'How-To' book, I decided to accept the challenge and in a lot less than a month here is what has happened to me in my life. I am healthier and more energized whereas I had been stressed out and feeling run down for a better part of the past year. Call it newbie enthusiasm if you like, but this felt noticeably different. Now, there is new horsepower in my body and bounce-in-my-step from the time I get up until I go to bed. My family and friends have observed several times that my outlook has improved a lot and become a source of new light for them as well! I have been experiencing spine chills from excitement that I haven't had since the first time I fell in love when I was a teenager decades ago. Little things are fun again. Maybe this is just what I needed and nobody else will get it.

I feel like a commercial for God which is a stark contrast to my background being raised by parents who were Athiests which explains in part why I have been searching for so long for the beyond. I will take a quote right out of the book - 'The sky has opened up and the sun has come out.' But now it's like that every day. Before, it was more like the sun was only out once or twice a week for a very short time and clouds, some dark and some less dark, were out the rest of the time.

Maybe you feel I should try to be a little more enthusiastic about this book. Actually, I could go on and on but maybe I'll just have to apply to God for a Job. Not a bad pun, eh? If you're a seeker, do yourself a favor and go to abookbyGOD.com and there you can read 5 chunks of the book for free. I only recently reviewed one of my Exchart Tolle books. I have most of his library along with Dr. Joseph Murphy, Clement Stone, Rev. Schuller, Deepak Chopra and most of the spiritual books recommended by
Oprah Winfrey. I have been realizing recently that they all have something in common with each other. They are in-depth and often hard to understand, not in literal words, but in how to apply their revelations to improve your life and the lives of those who are important to you.

There is a lot more I could say because I am flooding with amazing thoughts. I feel that 'I Am God: Here's My Message' did something wonderful for me and to me that was involuntary. It did so without me having to understand anything. Or maybe it pulled together all the previous research and work I have done on my path. All I did was the short spiritual practice at the end of the book which seems simple and general enough to be inoccuous, but has caused me a profound breakthrough in my own journey to inner-peace. Maybe the key to it all is its basic simplicity. Either way, I am going to watch with a keen eye to see how other people respond to this book and I am going to tell anyone about it who wants to know. Finally, I was fascinated that the 'About God's Book' section says that the money from the book is going to fix the problems on earth, create new economies of scale and opportunities globally, print the rest of God's books with the rest of the solutions to all of the problems and give away thousands and then millions of free books to those in poverty.

Good luck on your journey and I sincerely hope this helps you as much as it has helped me.

I thought I was a positive person before I read "I am God, Here's my Message." At least I thought I was. Sure I had problems; problems with no obvious solution that I had to work through; just like most people I know. Then a friend, who is like a mentor to me on life skills, told me about this book but I figured it was another of those empty offers. It promised and said all the right things. I decided to get a copy and read it because I love self help books in general but with this book I wasn't sure if it was just hokey or there was really a lot more to it.

I also didn't really know much about the God thing; I was raised in a good family environment but was never real religious or even spiritual for that matter. I wasn't sure I could buy in to all of the notions discussed in the book. But I read the book and started practicing the meditations. It suggested repeating and thinking about seven different blessings each day for 15 - 20 minutes for about 30 days. Is this a Coincidence or what? I started "playing around" with a few of the blessings a little bit at first, just to see what would happen; I did my 15 minutes in the morning and the first day lo and behold I noticed some changes; a few major things started happening; major, good things. It almost seemed like a "genie in a bottle"; I asked my mentor friend who had told me about this book if these things were real or were they just coincidences with the start of my reading of the book. He told me there were NO coincidences here.

Upon reading "I Am God" I quickly felt happier and better overall; people asked me why I seemed happier; there was truly a "new bounce" to my step. One co-worker even remarked that they noticed a "new bounce". Something changed; something happened. I thought back to the book at that point.

It's not a joke! At this same time I was getting into it, I was also knee deep in divorce proceedings, I had income tax problems (large amounts owed to the IRS without savings available); My business was in a down cycle and we were approaching the end of our cash reserves. But quickly, some of these problems melted away; that's no joke, even in the first one, two and three days of reading the book. I saw solutions to some of these issues, appear before me that I never thought possible. I was still under the mind-set that I had nothing to lose and a lot to gain but starting to become a believer.

My friend told me when I got the book that I would notice things like this. I was told that solutions would present themselves unlike any I had seen before. I was told that wealth and prosperity would continue to come my way, if...and here was that skeptical if, if I devoted 15 minutes a day for 30 days to the blessings, meditations, messages and principles in the book. Because there is always a catch that you have to do x and y or you can forget the result. That's the catch that always hooks you.

But the gains and goodness continued. I called my father who was living out of state and of recent ill-health. That happens when you turn 80 (him not me). Lo and behold (again) significant greatness appeared before me. My Dad had sounded better than he had in the past 5 years. He told me of his ailments subsiding and his life coming back to him in a fuller way. Was my Dad better because I read the book? Maybe yes, maybe no. I was always sending him positive blessings. I finally realized he was reacting to my positive attitude, my clearer state of mind and communication. It was positive so I continued with my open mind, clear approach and positive attitude. I truly had a slight thought of this maybe being coincidence again but as I saw more and more of these positives I knew this was more than coincidence.

The creative mind was working out solutions according to the book. I found that prosperity at the material level was happening; it was happening naturally because, as I later found out, the creative mind was working out solutions much more rapidly than before and being much more receptive to opportunities of goodness and greatness that, a few days before, were being blocked out.

After reading and applying the book, my wealth and prosperity have been clearly defined and understood. I am now getting the simple, expected and proper results. I processed my thinking with critical clarity of seeing good things happening; when people talked to me they were getting a clearer picture. I had opened up the wavelengths of God's natural energy, the earth's natural energy to let the opportunity of wealth and prosperity and the law of attraction free flow to me without any resistance.

I used to say I'm too busy or I don't have time for certain things. That changed after three days of reading, to the point of having a variety of new opportunities. That really meant that I had more connectivity and more clarity; I evaluated things better; I was giving out better signals; I was getting back better messages; I was responding quicker because of the excitement and enthusiasm of new opportunities. Was I still skeptical? No. I won't say that I am in a world of panacea right now but I am way better off than I was before I was introduced to the book.

To summarize - 'I Am God: Here's My Message' is a spiritually uplifting how-to-book that can be read cover to cover in a couple hours. It contains a meditation and messages that will allow you to quickly and easily develop your higher spiritual self in ways that you may never before have dreamed possible - leading to dramatic improvements in your love life, relationships, wealth, prosperity, health, happiness, peace of mind, your contribution to a better Earth, and your connection with GOD.
