About Emmanuel's Book II: The Choice For Love

Product Description Fear tells you, “I want to make you safe.” Love says, “you are safe.” Fear would walk you on a narrow path. Love says, “open your arms and fly with me.” —Emmanuel Emmanuel’s great wisdom—coming to us through channel Pat Rodegast—has illuminated thousands of lives. Emmanuel’s Book revealed deeply enriching truths about our place in the cosmos and the evolutionary destiny of the human soul. Now Emmanuel shines his light on the limitless power of love—and the prison house of fear. With startling directness and gentle wit, he confronts ageless questions such as “Why am I here?” and contemporary questions such as “How can we help the homeless?” Whether we struggle with personal confusion and pain or with the dilemmas of a troubled world, this wonderful new collection brings us singular comfort, assurance, and encouragement on our way to wholeness. About the Author Pat Rodegast first channeled the spirit Emmanuel in 1969. With Judith Stanton, she wrote down and compiled her visions into three books— Emmanuel’s Book,  Emmanuel’s Book II, and  Emmanuel’s Book III—which have been translated into eleven languages.  Judith Stanton is the co-author of  Emmanuel’s Book,  Emmanuel’s Book II, and  Emmanuel’s Book III, with spiritual teacher Pat Rodegast.

Introduction: Uncle Emmanuel   When I was a child I had a wonderful uncle who brought me “surprises.” Now, fifty years later, the spiritual child within me that is just waking up still delights in the thought of having a benevolent uncle who would give me gifts. But now, rather than material benefits, I would prefer that my special uncle share certain qualities with me.   The uncle I might look for now would be wise and compassionate, with a dry sense of humor; tough yet tender; someone who would keep me at the edge of consciousness through prodding, titillating, kidding, and loving me; someone who by constantly reframing my reality would help me to see the theatre of illusion in which I am acting, the shadows on the wall; someone who would transform my “problem” into exciting possibilities, and when I took myself too seriously would show me how poignant I am; someone who could guide me through the minefield of my mind with cavalier confidence and joie de vivre; someone who is not afraid. Such a being would be an “elder” whom I could properly honor, and at the same time fully enjoy. So when people ask me who I think Emmanuel is, for all the reasons listed above, I tell them that he is an adopted special uncle of mine of whom I am inordinately fond.   Emmanuel reminds us that his message is not new. Spiritual messages rarely are. For what we need to know has been said again and again. Yet, as our cultural context shifts, so must the way in which the perennial philosophy is expressed. Because Emmanuel’s words are in response to queries put to him at recent lectures and workshops and interviews, and because of his sensitivity to our predicaments, the material is timely and appropriate to who we are and where we find ourselves.   Emmanuel’s message of choosing love over fear and of being an openhearted witness to the way of things, is so simple that I was initially dubious as to whether a second book would be useful or merely redundant. I knew there would be more of his wonderfully cryptic one-liners like his “Death is absolutely safe ” line in the first book. And so there are, for example, “No one gets an award for sitting in bliss.” A few such lines, while absolutely delightful, seem insufficient justification for a book.   But reading this material has put my concerns to rest. There is a progression from the first volume to this one that suggests that as Emmanuel’s audiences, channel, and editor are ready, a more uncompromising version of truth comes forth. As Emmanuel suggests, he is accompanying us on a journey from rigidity to yielding, from sternness to softness, from fear to love. And
