tomorrow's god

Tomorrow's God, the newest installment in the Conversations with God series, was released this month, and I got my copy earlier than expected. As the seventh book in the series, I didn't know how much of it would really be new information. After all, the previous books already laid the groundwork for the philosophy. However, I wasn't disappointed; many of the themes in Tomorrow's God does repeat what went on in previous books -- but only because we keep asking the same questions. Instead of repeating what was said before, this installment expanded on the previous concepts and explained them in new ways that increased my understanding of it. For example, the first and foremost principle in CWG is that We Are All One. In Tomorrow's God, this principle is extended into the idea of serving Life first. In any situation which involves choice, if we serve Life first, we will always end up serving the greatest good as well as ourselves, because we are part of Life (which is synonymous with the words God, Love, Freedom, and Change). A good analogy of this would be having the hand feed the mouth. The hand doesn't directly benefit from putting food in the mouth, but that food feeds the stomach, which in turn feeds the hand, because they do not exist separately on their own.

Tomorrow's God also proposed solutions to some of America's (and the world's) problems. Like education for example, which currently teaches kids copy their parents' thinking -- and their mistakes. I know my kids aren't going near public schools or even my Catholic high school (which, to be honest, I loved at the time, but today it would've driven me nuts). I'll have to take a closer look at Waldorf schools.
