Niramisa Weiss

As sequel to The Liar, Niramisa Weiss elaborates of the destructing power of the liar in our human mind. If God were real, we ask, how could He let these terrible things happen to the innocent? Weiss leaves God and devil as human constructs, and chooses to find out why God has nothing to do with any of it, regardless of whether He exists or not. Just like with The Liar, Forgiving The Unforgivable leads to a 'liar' with a personality, will and power, but nameless and apparently detached from a religion or theology. Core message of the book: know your enemy, understand his powers and effects on mankind. Once you see the liar's influences that cause alcohol and drug abuse, greed and narcism, Nazi beliefs and the Israel-Palestinian conflict, to pick some of the many 'unforgivables' in this book, you'll learn that forgiveness is the only key to love one another and make this world a better place to live in. Weiss despises organized religion, denounces violence by Buddhist monks in Thailand. Weiss says she's speaking by 'Spirit' without disclosing its source. And though I recognize many of the biblical descriptions of the devil's nature and workings (a liar since the beginning), you will not find any Bible quote, or quote from another named holy book in this book. But stay alert of what's not been said. Together, we will discard everything obstructing our awareness of love. Together, we will forgive the unforgivable. Collective healing would be our mission. I don't think that we will ever be able to do that by ourselves. That's exactly was we need to give in to God, receive His grace, dismantle sin's effects and defend ourselves to the devil's attacks on our minds. Weiss deploys an abundance of words, sometimes I skipped through the pages, because chapter after chapter the same message is repeated. OK, a bullet list would be the other end of the stylish spectrum. However, the book may help you to identify false arguments and destructive powers in your own life, which may seem unforgivable as well.… (más)

First, I rejected Niramisa Weiss’s offer to read and her book The Liar. Somehow, I wasn’t interested in April? Was it fear? When the author made The Liar’s Kindle edition free for a short period of time in May, I downloaded and read it in June. Weiss has an important assumption: there is nothing to fear. Nothing bad ever happened. Evil doesn’t exist. The world is illusion. These statements happen to be true but up until now there has only been stark proof to the contrary. The Liar examines these hopeful ideas and provides a clear and definitive argument as to why they must be true.
Think of the labels we put on persons and behaviours. You’re smart, ugly, fat, slim, nerd, dumb, loser, whatever. Nomen est omen is a Latin saying (your name marks you). Well, it’s a lie after all. You can’t limit people to a simple label. The same goes for familiy ties or habits. Your father’s a thief, so you’re one too. We all know your family, so you must be…. Cultural stereotypes, stripped down to plain lies.
Weiss goes on undoing The Liar. Why would your body be everything you are, why would you separate body from soul? What’s so important about gender, relationships and sex? Does one of these define you? Abuse, like in power, manipulation, trafficking, rape and slavery are the fruits of the Liar. Hey, but why label liar with a capital L? Why should the liar get so much attention?
Food’s a perfect example of an industry led by lies. And what’s mental illness? Why are you addicted and not (totally) free? And the Truth shall set you free. Cautious not to promote a Christian point of view here, the author blames a lot of God’s servants that lost the truth. Pedophilia in the Roman Catholic Church, wars fought on religious arguments, and abuse of power in cults, churches and communities. Don’t blame evil (devil, satan, or names other religions call this) for what men do to each other.
If you really undo yourself from lies on all, then you’ll find freedom, so Weiss stipulates. As a Christian I recognize much of this approach, but believe I need help too, because I can’t reach it by myself. That step is lacking in this book, where you’re left out on a soul searching discovery trip. Niramisa Weiss calls God an anchor, but is tapped to the source of Sekinah (sorry, in Dutch) and says having found her inner healing through A Course in Miracles, quite different from the Christian perception of Jesus Christ as the Way, Truth and Life. Welcome to the fine line between almost true and true. Adam and Eve were the first having the chance to sort that out, and so are you now.… (más)
