God, the Devil and Me: The Chronicles of a Seeker of God (The Chronicles of a Seeker of God; Spirituality) Paperback – March 1, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
A chronicle of lived experience, this astonishing book is a biographical exposé, its ultimate theme the great battle of the last days, the final war between God and the Devil. Drawing on her journals, Valerie tells how, at the height of a successful career as writer and actress, she suddenly disappeared. An innocent seeker of God, unaware of the pitfalls, or the unrelenting opposition of the devil, Valerie had strayed into an Indian sect where its female guru, learning of her vocation to ‘write a book for God’, feared her as a potential whistleblower. Vowing to 'stop Valerie writing', she attacks her with magic and occult powers. Now, the writing of the book itself becomes the battlefield. Converted to Catholicism and escaped to France, Valerie is helped by an exorcist. And God, giving her the added vocation to pray for souls lost in sects, comes to her in the Eucharist, fighting alongside, granting moments lifted into bliss and finally breaking the bondage. Thirty years on, the past erased, experience with Valerie the inside story.

Review
In what is surely one of the most fully encompassing chronicles ever put to paper, God, the Devil and Me: The Chronicles of a Seeker of God from Valerie Georgeson is, and without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most compelling, and astutely created books within its genre/field that I have ever had the pleasure to dive wholly into.
Having now read and finished this book myself, in rather a binge-reading manner over four days back-to-back, it is obvious to me that the author has a great affiliation to the centralized character, and that bringing forth all that is within the book can help stabilize en masse of teetering members of the human race.
Indeed, the great lesson, you might say, from the book is that empathy is essential for spiritual evolution and that no spiritual leader has any right to impose behaviour on a disciple in the sole name of progress. For such authority is always unfounded, manipulative and illegitimate.

I surmise this cautionary tale was a key tell for the author - "Be careful what you wish for". She was adamant, like a dog with a bone, in chasing after her wish and attaining it. All the while ignoring the warning bells going off inside her. It made me wonder who truly was the devil in this story, and who was God? Manifestation is a powerful gift we all have. It is savvy and wise of us to learn to design it and alchemize it in positive ways for our highest good. Then again, as incarnated souls, where's the fun if we were to stop acting our human drama on this beautiful stage we call Earth?

This book serves as a reminder that most, if not all, of the misfortunes that we experience are due to self-limiting negative beliefs, mental projections, and fear. I'm not sure if the author has come to terms with that or was able to integrate the experiences narrated in the book.
I'm a little taken aback that the author failed to recognize, acknowledge, and reconcile the fact that the experiences of Kundalini, the Eternal Spirit, connection, and enhanced awareness came from and were bestowed by a Source. Unfortunately, there hasn't been due gratitude and praise offered to the latter.
