valuable book

Stewart Edward White recorded information from his medium wife Betty until her death and then purportedly continued to receive such information from her thereafter. At least he isn't claiming it's from God like Neale Walsch! My review of Walsch's "Conversations with God" are appropos here as well. BUT...the words of this book resonate far better. Furthermore, White followed it up with one of the great classics of metaphysics, "The Unobstructed Universe." The "Betty Book" is a fine (almost necessary) introduction to "The Unobstructed Universe." The world view presented in these works (wherever they actually came from) is profound, logical, and fills in many a void in other metaphysical systems. So, if you are turned off by the stated source, just ignore it and read on. Frankly, almost all the books I read are replete with the author's personality, predispositions, assumptions, etc.--it's hard to read between the lines and to separate the wheat from the chaff. In this book, however, that only applies to the source. The material (and, especially in the following volume) is first rate. White also wrote 5 or 6 additional spiritual works which are lesser lights but worth reading. Be aware, however, that he was a professional writer of Westerns. The other spiritual books of his I've read are: "Anchors to Windward," "The Job of Living," "The Road I Know," "The Stars Are Still There," and "With Folded Wings."

Best metaphysics book ever -objective for the sceptic.

This and White's follow-up books Across the Unkwown and the Unobstructed Universe are extremely objective yet cover the deepest levels we can ever hope to understand. Written so that even a beginner can follow yet amazingly profound. I'd also consider it the best self-help book around, as the importance and long-term signifigance of even our smallest acts is stressed throughout. These books focus on YOU and a METHOD OF LIVING, and don't even discuss reincarnation, etc. They focus on the most important issues.
