I received both volumes of While I was Learning to Become God as an early reviewer, though I don't remember requesting these. I read these quickly, after waiting until I had the time and interest. These volumes chronicle the life and spiritual development of a multicultural well-educated latin american woman narrated in turn by the author and Sybil.

Volume one left us with thoughts of how Sybil Vaughn was learning to rely on her spiritual thoughts which came from Guardian Angels, according to her beliefs. Volume 2 opens with an imagetalking to Sybil as if in adrfeam, promising to prtect her. Leaving her children with her ex-husband, Sybil begins 2 years to finish her Master's Degree, to allow her to be self sufficient and take care of her children..At one point in the book, Sybil describes how she is told that she is one with God, that God acts through her and that Sedona, Az. is her new teacher. Using the scripture Psalm 82, v 6, she found confirmation where it says "you are Gods.". The author, using tapes and notes, records all of S.sybil's thoughts on her spiritual adventures to become God. Ms. Jones closes the book with a description of Sybil's death ibn 2009.

This is a book that a reader will either love and enjoy or misunderstand and put aside. I'm still pondering which side of Sybil's story I am on.… (plus d'informations)
