Return to One Online (http://www.return-to-one.com)
Dear all
A few months ago I met a remarkable woman named Cathy Preston who ended up approaching me with a book she had written and asked me to help her 'publish' online. Over the last three months we have been working to release it as an EBook to the public, the title is 'Return to One'.
It is a novel that chronicles a journey into the realm of Oneness, it touches on experiences such as OBE, empathy, and many other spiritual topics. It is written very well and even though a 'fiction' it relates back many spiritual ideas and draws on personal questions of existence and reality. However it is too unique in itself to sum up by definition, it is really unlike other novels I have read making it difficult to confine to a set of ideas. Reading it had a deep personal significance for me, and I immediately knew that this project was important to take up to deliver this book to the public... it was finally released today, Nov 5.
Cathy has decided to make the pricing of the E-Book as reasonable as possible to make it accessible -- the book is over 300 pages and 50 chapters in length, and IMO the writing style and language is of higher standard than many printed novels out there... The price is £8 (about 14 USD)
A synopsis of the book:
"Misha lives in a remote village. She has always felt different, known there is so much more to life than can be seen. As she begins to dare ask questions the answers arrive, leading her deeper and deeper into the mystery. Guided by Vena, the wise woman, and Gaha, the great spirit, the divine and uniter of all; both she and her companion Lec realise the journey they have to take, the part they must play to bring humanity home. Eventually travelling far from all they have ever known the two begin to understand the enormity of their task and what they need to do.
Return to One is an allegory chronicling the journey from duality to oneness, from separation and splintering to wholeness and connectivity. It incorporates both our individual paths and the breaking and making of humanity as a whole. It will seem familiar and recognisable, exploring those questions we all seek to understand; yet take you through places you may not have expected to go. This book will appeal to all age groups, can be read on many levels, and weaves fiction and reality together in an enjoyable exploration of our spirituality, humanity and what unites us as one."

If anyone decides to read it please post your thoughts. I found many particular parts of it really profound but am interested about what others get out of it. Having just finished the design of the website last weekend it is great to finally be able to present it to the 'world', it is awesome to be able to contribute to something as spiritually profound as this and know that people will gain so much from reading it. For those that do decide to read it I hope you enjoy it.
