I found this book near the entrance of a metaphysical bookstore in Sedona, AZ, in the "Mary Magdalene" category. I opened it to some random page, and my tears started dripping on the bookstore floor. I was mesmerized by the beauty of the expression of love between Jesus and Mary. I couldn't stop the tears, so I carried the book to the back of the store to read. The book was filled with descriptions of the intimate, sensuous sharing between Mary and her soulmate, or twin flame Jesus. She seems to have more power than he does and is his guide. This book teaches us spiritual truths in story form.

The implication is that this book is a channeled book. In the forward, Flo Aeveia Magdalena, was filled with an urgency on March 25, 1989, to attend communion at a church, rather than go to West Virginia with friends. She picks the nearest Presbyterian church in the phone book and goes in the pouring rain. At this church they take turns sitting, twelve at a time, at a communion table like the Last Supper. As she began to partake of the cup, suddenly above the minister's head, she saw the shimmering figure of Jesus Christ. He beckoned to her. Her tears fell out, and people stared. When she went back to her seat in the pews, a scorching heat touched her forehead and hands, burning her. She opened her eyes to see again, the shimmering figure of Christ, coming close and closer. Then with a whooshing sound, he came toward her and into her, merging with her upper body. Overcome, she ran to her car in the rain. On the windshield of her car, Christ appeared again. Full of emotion, she had visions. Christ began to speak to her, through her awareness and thoughts communicated without language. He told her of Mary Magdalena and their love. Later that night the visions began, and she recorded all this.

I Remember Union is a book like Lynn Andrews books, about the mystical power of woman. It teaches the same spiritual truths found in Neale Donald Walsch's Conversations with God, A Course in Miracles, Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East. Life is an illusion, a mere play. Jesus and Mary's mission is to help people remember their divinity and union with God, and that our form became separate from this vision. With separation, fear was born. Jesus and Mary and the other characters in the Bible, are all living according to a "design" (blueprint, or "play"). They travel to France, Spain, India and Kashmir and other places legend speaks of. They leave their bodies at old age, in the Himalayans, long after his resurrection (purpose to show there is no death). They still have free-will, so sometimes it was a struggle to live according to the "design" or plan.

I feel this is a book about the spiritual power and mysticism of women. The mesmerizing beauty of the love between Mary and Jesus as described in the book, haunted me for weeks, and I shed tears all through reading it. This book is one of my favorites and I am a librarian!

If you are prepared to continue on a conscious path of re-membering, this book will be a wonderful Friend and Guide. Though the focus is on the life and times of Mary Magdelena and Christ, and their deeply loving and sacred relationship, as seen through Mary's eyes and heart, it will awaken in you your own cellular memories of "union". Tears of absolute joy will overwhelm you time and again as you are reminded of the Truth, and so many of your illusions begin to melt away...until you are faced with the ultimate realization, and it becomes "knowing"... WE ARE ETERNAL.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the book! It truly moved me like no other I have ever read, and I will carry the truth of it inside of me always. A true blessing. Sharon

This is a magnificent book which will strongly awaken your cellular memory to many inner Truths. While the setting portrays the historical times involving Christ and Mary Magdelana, the story itself which will touch you at your core... as you too Remember! I highly recommend this book to those actively seeking on their spiritual path, for the inner "awakening" will catapult you forward in your growth.

This book resonates with the power and beauty of spirit. The story is so strong and heartfelt about the entire unfolding of Jesus and the interactions among the others. I was so moved that often I had to stop reading and reflect before I could continue. The story makes sense and rings true to me. A must read. Powerfully told and beautifully written.

I originally read this book in 1997. Its impact on me has been profound - It entirely altered my perspective on Mary, Christ, Judas, and the classic biblical account of Christ's time on earth.

I knew deep inside of me from the time I was a little girl that there was far more to Mary Magdalene than her proported role as a reformed prostitute. She had held a certain fascination for me throughout my life, and it was such a relief to find this book and hear her story - and yes, I do believe that it is indeed her story.

I admire Flo's courage for daring to write this book as she no doubt knew the flack she would take for it. I pray that she has been strong enough to not only withstand it but to be validated because of it.

This book in written in freestyle, not poetry, but styled to help the reader experience and feel the words visually. A fast read, but profound. I have never been so moved by a book. I have never taken time to write a review, but this is an exceptional book.

Any man who is aware of the importance of what it means to be whole, and who has seen the underpinnings of twisted masculine power that ectched itself in world history- they should read this book.

I have read many, many books over the past two years and THIS ONE is the most enjoyable I have found. It's about Christ and his split-soul, Mary Magdalena. It's about the Divine Plan for Mankind on this Earth. It tells us who we can become if we are on the path of personal enlightment and ascension.

This book is the "real" telling of the biblical story. It is magnificently written and flows with a truth that is life changing. I am so blessed to have found such a treasure!

This visionary account of Mary Magdalena is closer to my heart than any other story of her I have heard up to this point. An empowering look into her life and the path that she walked 2000 years ago (not to mention the agreement she made to walk it). What a gift Flo Calhoun is for having the courage to put forth such a detailed account of what was revealed to her. Truely a book to deeply consider and reflect upon.
