From Amazon.com, “This is a book about remembering what we have always known in our hearts but forgotten in our minds. That behind all appearances, beyond the illusion of separateness, we are one. We are one with ourselves, with each other, with the supernal light of creation. We are bridges between spriit and matter. We are the agents, the channels, the beings through which love manifests in this world. In this remembering lies our destiny, our hope, our joy and our healing.”
