Oneness is a tool kit to transforming the solutions in conflict that the Mind has to offer, with the Resolution of the Heart: Acceptance!

Oneness suggests the opportunity to exchange the Suffering in Mind with the Peace of Heart. The road from perception to Awareness, conflict to Peace. Through Spiritual Poetry and Artwork, and in-depth explanations along side Mantra-affirmations. A warm invitation to walk together an "Out of –what Box" approach to seeing God, by letting go of perceiving anything else. Thus realizing the Self in Love vs. fear, Truth vs. illusion, God vs. nothing at all...

A pathway to Spiritual transformation, of awakening on a personal level hands on. In a collection of lessons, laid out to gently walk along your side from the illusions of Mind to the Truth at Heart. Through milestones such as Love is acceptance, forgiveness, letting go, flow, undoing perceiving separation, seeing wholeness, Self realization, and Life at the Present moment. Thus restoring inner Peace. A heart opening experience of realizing Self in Truth, "Oneness" is a tool-kit to undoing past beliefs of separation, thus re-schooling cognitive behavior from negative thoughts to positive thoughts and feelings. The Awareness of our Oneness in Truth, the experience of that which is the here and now: Peace; the lack of conflict.

"In Oneness: A united state of mind, Amit Doron gives us an extraordinary treatise on the fact that the key to life is love. It's also a beautiful and poetic read.

I enjoyed it completely, and I know that you will too."

~ Gary Renard, the best-selling author of Disappearance of the Universe and Your Immortal Reality

November Book Selection: My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey by Jill Bolte Taylor

In 1996, 37-year-old neuroanatomist Taylor experienced a massive stroke that erased her abilities to walk, talk, do mathematics, read, or remember details. Her remarkable story details her slow recovery of those abilities (and the cultivation of new ones) and recounts exactly what happened with her brain. This is a fascinating memoir of the brain's remarkable resiliency and of one woman's determination to regain her faculties and recount her experience for the benefit of others.

Our Purpose
To provide a supportive environment for self growth and exploration through the discussion of selected non-fiction books. Heather said, "I started this book club after Phoenix Rising training in order to keep up to date and curious. I also enjoy bringing together, like-minded people to share ideas and discuss our impressions of books. We always learn something new at book club!"

Everyone is Welcome (Do I have to read the book?)
While many of the participants have read the book either in part or in full prior to the gathering, it is not required to attend. All that is asked is a willingness to join in and an open mind. In the spirit of compassion, all participants are asked to respect the opinions and confidentiality of others in the group.
