Summary: A Greater Vision of Who "I" Am
Review: In an age where everything must have universal/worldly appeal; including all arts, government and religion; there is a "voice" in each of us, guiding us to be greater and more harmonious together; telling us who we really are. Clearing the mist of worldly desires and oversimplifications of the complex universe, in an attempt to make it appear "stupid/immoral friendly", there is the universe of Truth or reality. Books from all sectors of religion have pointed to a loving and giving God, called by many names, but all of us have something between a guess and working knowledge that this Being is what we refer to as the Creator of All; that which is all in all. This book, "As "I" See It" by John Hargreaves, does the decidedly significant task of defining "the tares from the wheat" separating the Truth from the lie. As "I" See It brings the reader closer to a functional knowledge of divine metaphysics and challenges the reader to raise the bar on their own sense of what consciousness is and what "I" (referring to both "me" and "you") means to them.
Using The Bible and The Science & Health (by Mary Baker Eddy which is the companion book for Christian Science along-side the Bible) as the starting point as well as stories from people of different walks of life, "As "I" See It" brings in many useful angles of what reality is. This book puts the idea, paraphrased from the Bible, of "work(ing) out our own salvation..." in a new light for me; stating it, in the sense that each of us is responsible for our own sense of what and how we see reality. That what we perceive is not out there but is all within us- and as we gain more correct views of God's creation, "life" becomes harmonious, happy and fruitful. I highly recommend this book to anyone, regardless of their religious beliefs, who seeks a greater understanding of what Life is all about and how to bring more Love, Truth, and Principle into their experience. Unfortunately, "As "I" See It" is out of print as of early 2004 and older copies seem to go for quite a bit; but if you do come across one and have the dough, you may very well find this book to be one of a kind and helpful on your spiritual journey as I have.

Summary: I now understand Identity as the omnipresent divine Life.
Review: Spiritual transformation from the standpoint of human understanding has proved tedious. The belief that the human expands or becomes spiritual has been problematic and not fruitful for me. It was not until I began a serious study of John Hargreaves' book that I began to recognize life as wholly spiritual. This has changed my perspective on who and what I am. Living universal and eternal divine completeness now as the truth of all creation is expansive in ways I could never have imagined and establishes me in the line of spiritual creation with the whole of the world.
