Description

From the Introduction
“This short book introduces a view of the world which is very different to that held by many people. For some, it may serve a purpose in shattering preconceived notions and presenting an entirely new perspective which opens up a compassionate and responsive universe. It reflects an ardent desire to reach beyond the peripheral uncertainties of everyday life and discover, for ourselves, a certainty in the oneness of being which constantly flows through everything that is.”

This short text on the unity of existence has been essential reading on courses run by the Beshara Trust for many years. The approach will be to read it contemplatively and observe what arises in the heart in the present moment.

We expect Cecilia Twinch to be present and available for questions.

Copies of the book will be supplied and available for purchase. The book can also be purchased here.
