Summary of Neale Donald Walsch - On Abundance and Holistic Living

Neale Donald Walsch on Holistic Living
Neale Donald Walsch, known for his Conversations with God books, has a one-sided conversation with an audience in this 90-minute video that feels only about twice that long. In front of a Stepford-like audience, he covers hot- button topics that include health, illness, spirituality, death, and human sexuality. Unfortunately, his delivery doesn't bring the issues, or the broader subject of holistic living (partly defined as "what it's like to live as a whole person"), to life. Find yourself in a place called "stuck"? Step toward something and your tummy will tell you to go there, he advises. To step away from fear, try saying, and believing, "I am guiltless and I am innocent." It picks up when he discusses his "actual" conversations with God ("The first thing God said to me ... on health .... For heaven's sake, take care of yourself.") or first-person anecdotes (like the guilt he felt as a devout young Catholic when he ate meat on a Friday). The presentation would be less wooden as an audiotape; at least then Walsch's comments might prompt you to get lost in thought. As a video, it plays like a dead-on Saturday Night Live parody of New Age thinking. --Valerie J. Nelson
