"A sacred book of spiritual insights combined with a transformative power that transcends ordinary consciousness.Oneness in words."
"We Are All One. When we allow ourselves to become aware of this statement in its purest form, we open the doors to reveal the oneness of being. Using the process of conscious evolution we begin to recognise our true underlying identity, for once we have glimpsed the existence of this realm, we then begin to reveal what it is . . . . our true natural state."

SHORT BIO:
Jonathan Harrison is the co-founder of the Dubon Centre of Healing and Awareness in Gascony, France.
A contemporary Teacher of Being, Jonathan talks openly and directly, sharing a momentum which points us towards the essence of who we all are. Jonathan's writings and talks are not restricted or defined by any one religion, philosophy or belief.
In the early millennium years he underwent sustained periods of time living in pure consciousness which yielded a profound awareness. Never having written before, and following an M.D.E (mystical death experience) in 2007, he put pen to paper to write his first book "We Are All One: A call to spiritual uprising". Written in just six days, the critically acclaimed book was awarded the 2009 Allbooks International Editors Choice Award (USA) in the Spirituality & Inspiration category.

The insights contained in the book come from direct experience and provide inspiration and momentum for beginners and experienced seekers alike.
So what is the message of Naked Being? When we remove all the habitual layers in the way, then the Self-knowledge of unmodified universal 'pure' organic mind is realised - Naked Being. In this respect it is more of an 'undressing' (hence 'Naked') rather than an attainment. It is not something for a special few, but the founding and original presence within us all. The purpose of awakening to our spiritual nature is not necessarily about realising a pure minded or enlightened state, but to evolve an integrated holistic understanding so that we may consciously grow, safely reaching the next phase in human evolution.
Why is this important? Recognising the interconnectedness of LIFE will allow global consciousness to move forwards towards a war-less time of health and global harmony. Worldview consciousness is presently undergoing a momentous shift as humanity consciously evolves a functional integrated 'Holistic Mind'. A global consciousness not directed by the idea of separation remains the sole hope for future life on Earth. The way to integrate harmony into the world is to find Wholeness within ourselves, which may only be realised through inner work and Self-knowledge. Then the goals and ideals of humanity will no longer be driven by the self of the ego, but by the universal bond of LOVE, which is the Heart of Being.
Perhaps this is best summed up by a quote from 'Naked Being';
'The human struggle is a search for Wholeness. We spend our lives trying to be complete. We begin by accumulating as much material wealth, status, power, honour and conditioned versions of 'success' as we possibly can, but in the end all of these are found to be lacking. None of them can be sustained, for they are mind made creations. We realise that the meaning we seek is never going to be found outside of ourselves, and so we begin to search inside. When we delve deeply into our core, we find that our inner being is mystifyingly empty - empty of self. Within this emptiness, the fullness of LIFE is uncovered. From this non-dual awakening we see all 'things' as illusory because the world of form is recognised to be fleeting and in a sense 'unreal'. As awareness deepens, a real grounding and balancing of the poles of being occurs. The non-dual Spirit becomes established in the duality of the body and the world, providing a practical way for Naked Being to manifest. A rounded Wholeness arises from accepting the outer self to be the way your non-dual Nature is released into the world. You now know yourself to be a unique individual following the ONE essence of LIFE called Spirit.'
EARLY REVIEWS for 'Naked Being':
'The concept of Naked Being brings a fresh new clarity about the truth of our Being. I highly recommend it to anyone who desires to know their true nature.'
Burt Harding, Founder of the Awareness Foundation in Vancouver, Canada - teacher of Advaita Vedanta in the lineage of Ramana Maharshi, based on direct experience of awakening. www.burthharding.com
'Jonathan Harrison's presentation of the teaching of non-duality, is crisp, concise, and clear. Instruction on dealing with the habitual, addictive mind, or the ego-self gives this book more traction than the purely confessional books of new non-duality (neo-advaita). Love, karma, death, meditation, suffering, compassion, the mind, separateness, and the soul (a rarely seen theme in non-duality and a welcome carry-over from Harrison's first book), are topics that bridge mainstream spirituality with non-duality, or naked being.'
Jerry Katz, author of One: Essential Writings on Non-duality (Sentient Publications 2007) and founder of www.nonduality.com
'With elegant simplicity and power, Jonathan Harrison brings clarity and focus to spiritual ideals that are often challenging for beginners to understand. At the same time, he adds profound depth for the advanced seeker. Jonathan is a master teacher, storyteller and guide.'
Linda Panell, CEO and founder of Conscious Alliances, a University for the study, expansion and awakening of consciousness. www.consciousalliances.com
