We’ve come a long way since the 1980’s when Shirley McLaine went Out on a Limb on national TV to say the words out loud, “I am God.” And even she had trouble saying that. Since then many others in the vanguard of spiritual questing have been bringing back the same message from the frontlines: we are energy, we are creators, we are responsible for what happens in our lives, we are healers, we are capable of miracles – in short, we are gods. Stewart makes the case wonderfully that we are finally ready to embrace this message on a collective level, indeed that we have manifested this book because we are ready for the next evolutionary leap in consciousness.
The most beautiful and moving parts of this book are when the author is reminding us of the ineffable nature of God and his belief that when this Source wants to know itself better, it does so through us. Ergo, God is present as us and to know ourselves is to know God. Stewart calls for a return to the feeling of God, a felt realization that may begin by saying the words,”I am God.” Or it may begin, as the author suggests, by feeling God as a single field of consciousness with many points of experience, meaning each one of us. He’s right that it’s a great way to deflate the ego – it’s difficult to feel either superior or inferior to anyone else if we are all rays off that one great sun. If all this sounds too deep or too complex – this is where the “deceptively simple” part comes in. Stewart has managed to put all this, and more, in a book that is as readable as a child’s bedtime story. Living As God has a rhythm and pace to it that flows like a clear stream. If P. Raymond Stewart is correct that we, as a collective, have manifested this book – (and the author feels strongly enough about this point that he says that his name is a pseudonym, because it doesn’t matter who the author is) – then it is tempting to ask “Why?” or “Why now?” The answer may be that we are finally ready to take responsibility for our energy, our intention, and what exactly we are doing with it.
As the author says, if we want to make the changes that we desire in this world, then we need to remember our connection and our responsibility. On the one hand, if we are God then there is no blaming anyone else for the world that we are manifesting right now, and that may seem grim, or daunting. On the other hand, if we are truly at a tipping point, at a time of transformation, then faith and hope become stronger that we can create the world differently. Living As God – Healing the Separation makes it that simple, and that powerful. Cheryl Shainmark,
There are so many books on “spirituality”, so to speak. And none of them say anything new. LIVING AS GOD says more than all of them put together. When you finish, you say to yourself, “I don’t need to find God out there as most of these other books say. After reading even the first couple of chapters, you’ll say, “I’ve found God.” Where is She? Where is He? Stop and look in the mirror. There you are. There is God. And don’t you feel it? Can’t you feel it? It’s there and your life can now be opened and changed. Stop looking out there. You’ve got it all. You’ve got God inside. Use him! Use her! Use IT! Start LIVING AS GOD. Why shouldn’t you? Rev. Richard Drasen, Palm Springs

I wrote this book just as P .Raymond Stewart wrote mine. Who then is the real author? Living as God takes us on a journey into the remembrance of the One Author of all that has, is and ever will be written. More than this, this book invites us to consciously embrace the remembrance of what The Word was before we ever began writing and of what it will continue to be long after the need for the written word becomes obsolete. Michael Brown – Writer and facilitator of The Presence Process, Johannesburg, South Africa
Living as God is magical: in its simplicity, the words pop out at me, yet I am not aware of reading – just aware of the understanding of a God message.
