I am not always a fan of "channeled" entities. Sometimes I feel like, if it is being channeled, the recipient begins to add too much of their own interpretation.

I didn't feel this has happened with the personality of Emmanuel. All in all it is a very gently reassuring message, and I did begin to "feel" the personality of Emmanuel by the end. He is not idealistic or non-realistic, as he deals with all the horrible, evil, nasty things that we humans can do (also genecide, Hitler, abortion, starvation, etc.). But you feel all is still right with the Universe even though these things exist. They exist for learning--there is no negative, no evil. It is all learning, and all exactly what the world or those people or that culture needed to learn.

The book is arranged by questions that people most often asked this entity during radio interviews and events. As such, most of the questions I would have wanted to ask are in there. Unusually, there were no topics where I said to myself, "No, this doesn't seem right." Something that struck me because I'd not heard it stated this way before was that all the "personalities" that are incarnated from our group of souls represent the qualities that need..uh, improvement. So these aren't our best side? :)

This book (and there is a trilogy of his words)turns out to be a salve for the modern soul. That can be a valuable thing when it seems that all we see around us is corruption, destruction, violation and cruelty. I am torn about listing this book again, feeling like I might want to pick it up for words of encouragement.
