Mystic occultist, Neale Donald Walsch, made his cash and his fame by claiming to have had mystical encounters with a voice he calls “God.” His Conversations with God series was wildly popular for years, and he still travels the world claiming that there is no hell, that even Hitler is in heaven, because all, in the end is love…except, that is, if you are a fundamentalist. They, you see, go straight to hell.
Now Walsch is making headlines as a plagiarist after ripping off an essay this Christmas about, what else, “love.” The cool thing about being a mystical New Ager is that you can always claim you are “mystified” as to how it happened. The words just somehow drifted into your mind, you see. It was a supernatural thing. You didn’t deliberately lift the incident described, because perhaps, in an earlier life, the very same incident happened to you. Who’s to say?
The plagiarized author isn’t so kind and seems unimpressed with Walsch’s New Age ethics: “Speaking of Mr. Walsch, she asked: ‘Has the man who writes best-selling books about his “Conversations With God” also heard God’s commandments? ‘Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not lie, and thou shalt not covet another author’s property’?”
