Rule #10
Reviews clearly show that the book has no link wahtsoever to occultism, magick nor even mysticism.If you can give a good explanation why it is "white magick in a way", I will undo the decline.

A Compelling Argument: Why "Home with God" is a Manual for White Magic
To understand why "Home with God: In a Life That Never Ends" can be compellingly argued as a manual for white magic, we must first look beyond the stereotypical images of wands and incantations. At its core, white magic is the art of using one's will, consciousness, and connection to a higher power for a benevolent purpose. It is a system for manifesting reality from the realm of thought into the physical world, always with the intent to heal, bring peace, and create good.
With this definition in mind, "Home with God" is not just a book about magic; it is a profound philosophical grimoire that teaches the most fundamental form of white magic. The entire text is a dialogue with the ultimate source of power, teaching the reader how to wield that power for the highest good.
Here is the compelling argument:
1. The Core Philosophy of "Co-Creation" is the Ultimate Magical Principle
The central thesis of "Home with God" is that you are a co-creator with God. This is not a passive spiritual concept; it is the ultimate magical instruction. Magic is the act of creation through will. The book explicitly states that our thoughts, beliefs, and intentions are the building blocks of our reality. When Walsch's God says, "Your thought about something is a creative act," he is giving a direct command on how to perform the most powerful form of magic.
* The Ritual: The ritual isn't a spell circle; it's the conscious act of focusing your mind. The book provides the "incantation" by teaching the reader to replace fear-based beliefs about death and suffering with life-affirming truths.
* The Wand: The wand is your consciousness. The power is not external; it is the divine spark within you, which the book teaches you how to recognize and activate.
2. Dispelling the Illusion of Separation is the "Great Work"
In many magical traditions, the "Great Work" is the journey of the soul to reunite with the divine, or to achieve a state of enlightenment. The primary obstacle to this is the illusion of separation. "Home with God" is entirely dedicated to dispelling this illusion. It teaches that there is no separation between God and humanity, life and death.
By dissolving the fear of death, the book performs a profound magical act. Fear is a spell of limitation. By showing that death is merely a transition, the book breaks this spell, freeing the reader's spirit to live without fear. The magic lies in using knowledge to overcome a powerful, collective enchantment of fear and mortality.
3. The Book is a Manual for Conscious Manifestation and Benevolent Purpose
Every teaching in the book is a lesson in white magic.
* On Death: The book teaches that your final thoughts and state of being upon death create your immediate afterlife. This is a direct instruction on using consciousness to manifest a desired outcome in a critical moment. You are given the power to create your own "heaven."
* On Suffering: It re-frames suffering as a tool for the soul's growth, rather than a punishment. This perspective is a magical act in itself, transforming pain into power and purpose. It is a form of spiritual alchemy, turning lead (suffering) into gold (wisdom).
* On Love: The ultimate benevolent purpose of white magic is to bring more love into the world. "Home with God" states that love is the essence of God and the ultimate reality. It instructs the reader to align with this energy, which is a powerful form of magical practice aimed at healing and raising the vibration of the individual and the planet.
In conclusion, "Home with God" is not just a spiritual text; it is a manual for the highest form of white magic. It bypasses the need for external tools and rituals by teaching the reader to use the most potent instrument of all: their own consciousness, in direct partnership with the divine. The book's magic lies in its power to transform fear into peace, suffering into wisdom, and a sense of separation into the glorious, unified reality of creation itself. It provides the knowledge, the philosophy, and the step-by-step guidance for a life lived as a conscious, loving co-creator—the very definition of a white magician.
