Supportive and Sane Words from Beyond, January 30, 2008
JM Harrison had a near death experience in 2007 and upon awakening from that journey to beyond the corporeal being he wrote as though in a trance for six days, the words of his writing coming to him from someplace beyond his understanding. This very readable little book is the essence of that experience and invites the reader to think not only outside the box, but also outside the space in which we feel we are confined: call it our life.
Some writers whose works appear after a near death experience speak about travels with angels or concentrate on views from 'out there', and while many of those books have been fascinating reading for those unafraid to think about the true harmony of the universe, none of those volumes contain the honest, helpful, intensely interesting and educating message as that found in Harrison's book.
WE ARE ALL ONE: A Call to Spiritual Uprising is a well-selected title, for the overall message of this book is that we ARE all one. Harrison takes us beyond the confines of our bodies, our temporary vessel of being, surveys 'death' and 'birth' as phases of being, and slowly demonstrates through obvious knowledge of all of the 'religions' of the world that all of us are truly at one with each other and with the entire planet/air/space that serves as our world. He removes the 'I' from his vocabulary, substituting the more meaningful pronoun 'we' as he shows us that seeking the truths about the ebb and flow of all life towards the central One, the fact that no matter where we are in the space of incarnation, can provide us knowledge and understanding to change the world - the world we have punished with war, with hate, with separateness, with environmental injury.
Harrison speaks of a timeframe from 2008 to 2012 when the opportunity for spiritual uprising can result in a significant change in the world, a change that would by nature of the fact that we are all one preclude further war, famine, injury, and ultimate destruction of the planet. The pathway to this uprising is within the reach of all people: discovering that and heeding it is the purpose of this warmly supportive book.
Harrison practices what this book 'preaches': he is the head of The Dubon Center of Healing and Awareness, Gascony, France. This little book deserves the attention (and the chance for changing outlooks) of everyone who seeks something better than the way the world is functioning at present. Harrison gently supports the reader to expand consciousness and become at one with the flow of the spiritual universe. WE ARE ALL ONE could just be the nidus for change - not only ourselves but also the body of souls that surround us. This is an eloquent, tender, meaningful, beautifully written book.

We help ourselves by helping others., February 26, 2008
The message I took from the little book is a bit different than that of another reviewer --- yet I certainly agree with the other review.
When my mother was suffering with cancer and I would complain about something, she would tell me to find someone to help and care about and I'd forget my own troubles. She did that and it helped her get through a very painful time.
If we are all One, as the author says, we must stop thinking so much about our own issues, problems and fears, and learn how to help others. In this way, we help ourselves. We get out of ourselves and into the larger scheme of things.
The author says we should become more spirit-conscious instead of self-conscious, for it is more in spirit that we are One.
We become more in tune to the bond we have with others.
Recommended.

Spiritual truths made easy to understand, March 8, 2008
This book is an excellent source of basic spiritual truths. Revealing the three components of a human being, the soul, spirit, and body. All three are explained in great detail as the soul being your own mental dynamics that makes you, you. Your spirit is the conciousness you share in common with all of humans regardless of race and gender. Your body operates on the material plane below the higher planes of existence.
Also the book touches on universal spiritual and philosophical truths, and warns against false religion and false teachers. The book teaches that religion without science is as dangerous as science without religion. It shows how science has proven that ancient philosphers were right that matter is an illusion or a representation of our experiences of consciousness. Spiritually, all of our abilities are identical and only our present awareness is different. This book encourages us all to continue on our path of spiritual evolution, we can change the world. This book is excellent for all traveling on a spiritual path to enlightenment on our true nature.
For we are many bodies, yet One spirit, One truth, One light, existing on the many planes of being.
