Tomorrow's God, I've finished it



Here are some points that Neale highlighted at the end of the book. I thought that this was the last dialogue book I haven't read but I think that there is one more- Communion With God.

It's important to realise that according to the book there is no new God today or tomorrow but merely a vastly expanded understanding of the reality of God from the view that most religions have of a vengeful and judgemental God.

I have now joined Humanity's Team and signed up for the daily messages and e-newsletter of www.newspirituality.org. The latter organisation was set up to support the local outreach of Humanity's Team.

I can see myself leaving Fine Gael going down this ever expanding spiritual road. But I like Kieran Dennison in Mulhuddart and will continue to work for him for the next couple of months. Because Fine Gael need a councillor in Mulhuddart and I believe he would make a great one. The reality of the situation although a lot of people, OK the majority, don't realise in Ireland is that Fine Gael are a party of the progressive centre. The party does not differentiate between left wing and right wing policies.

I've always seen myself as left wing. My roots are working class. I lived in Ballybock for a few years in the 80's, although it was officially Drumoncondra, and despite moving from there when I was about 9 I went to secondary school only up the road from there in Glasnevin and the school was mostly working class although yes Glasnevin would be generally a middle class area. I actually like the class politics of Labour. However they aren't a Nationalist party. Hence I am not going to join them. And the view that seemingly most of their average members have that Fine Gael are right wing displays a complete misjudgement of the progressiveness and honesty of people like Enda Kenny, Leo Varadkar, Dr. James Reilly, Richard Bruton, Fergus O' Dowd, Michael Ring, Olwyn Enright, Simon Coveney, Brian Hayes, Charlie Flanagan, Alan Shatter, Phil Hogan, Billy Timmins, Denis Naughten, and the Fine Gael front bench generally. As I said Fine Gael are a party of the progressive centre although admittedly if it wasn't for our brilliant front bench Fine Gael would be nowhere near as progressive in effectiveness as we have been over the last couple of years.

4) Tomorrow's God is separate from nothing, but is Everywhere Present, the All in All, the End, the Sum Total of Everything that ever was, is now, and ever shall be.

5) Tomorrow's God is not a singular Super Being, but the extraordinary process called Life.

6) Tomorrow's God is ever changing.

7) Tomorrow's God is needless.

8) Tomorrow's God does not ask to be served, but is the Servant of all of Life.
