The Shack and the Shift

I’m an avid reader, particularly of spiritual books or work that Goddess has led me to. Religion has never had much meaning for me. It was always the wonders of nature that made me connect with God. Jesus was a teacher. He was a son of God, but NOT the only way to God and not the only son of God. It’s been hard for me to conform with the beliefs that Jesus was the only way to salvation when I have seen the best of God in other people and, sometimes in myself. Religion and the whole “Christian” way of life, the past 2000 years, in the age of Pisces was perhaps a way to a higher understanding of God, but humanity’s mental illness and desire to conquer sort of distorted some of the original teachings. But that’s another story.

Rules keep us captive and under control of others who impose the rules. So religion never had much place in my life. Magic however, that was another thing, because magic is all around us, in the air we breathe, the people and animals we love, and in everything, that has LIFE in it.

I just finished reading a book titled “The Shack” by William P. Young. It’s a novel but it brings to light a different vision of God and sort of breaks the traditional “Christian” barriers of exclusion rather than inclusion. The story is about a man who goes camping with his family and loses his youngest child to a brutal serial killer. Evidence of her brutal murder is found in a broken down shack several miles from the camp site. Four years later, the man receives a note in the mailbox from God inviting him to revisit the shack. In his conversations with God, he discovers that redemption and forgiveness is the key to freedom.

For those who take the Bible as truth, this book may not go “down” well. It tends to imply that God is permanent good-humored and serves us pancakes for breakfast. But to others who are becoming more awakened to THE SHIFT going on the planet. This book, along with many others is perhaps Goddess’ way of speaking to the masses.


This book is not the first “Conversations with God” sort of book, there have been many others, and more and more philosophers and “unknowns” are coming out of the woodwork with bestselling books that started off as cranked out copies from Kinko to blockbuster megahits creeping into the hands of the masses.

The story behind The Shack may be more interesting than the book itself. If one is so inclined, one can see the hand of Goddess working. The author originally wrote the book for his children, his wife urged him to write down his beliefs and philosophies. Then the book turned into something else, something more. It became a delicious combination of suspenseful horror mixed with eye-opening theology not often explored by traditional Christians. After printing a few copies for family and friends, the book’s word-of-mouth success started bringing in the BIG publishers until it finally appeared on the New York Times bestseller list. The Celestine Prophecy also started in such a fashion and became a hit. Eckhart Tolle also self-published his work. Louise Hay started off with a small pamphlet she sold to churches and ended up with a publishing empire. Their “unexpected” success could be attributed to God and usually is by these authors and lightworkers.

In this Shift in our humanity, more and more writers, teachers and spirit workers are gathering to bring the masses to a higher level of understanding. There are many paths to God, these books are just one of many paths. But I’m convinced Goddess is speaking to us, the Universe is helping us understand more and more, through books, movies and the random acts of kindness we do for each other thus allowing the whole “shift” to take place.
