Endorsements for We Are One:

This is an important book whose time has come. It offers a new and exciting route back to the universal and eternal truth of our own being. Out of the richness of her experiences as a therapist and lifelong spiritual seeker, Helen Vandeman writes with honesty, confidence, and a compelling wisdom that we quickly begin to trust as we read. Through simple but effective techniques she helps us access our most valuable gift - intuition, and challenges us to embrace the illuminating truth of our oneness with all that is.

--The Rev. Dr. Rodney R. Romney, author of Wilderness Spirituality

Grounding her work in the mystical traditions of the world's religions, as well as in the "New Thought" school of religious thinking, Helen Vandeman has produced a helpful, hands-on volume. Combining her personal story, years of training and experience with clients, engaging selections from classic mystic texts, and actual spiritual exercises, Vandeman guides the reader in the understanding and use of intuition to make a decision or experience the divine. In our exceedingly frenetic world, We Are One is a guidebook by which one may follow the path to the quiet of the oasis within.

--Rabbi Anson Laytner, author, Arguing with God

Helen Vandeman lives and writes with a gracious clarity of vision. Her teaching is clear and certain. Here is a remarkable guide for developing the wonder that we already are, and celebrating the One we share.

--Rabbi Ted Falcon, Ph.D., author, A Journey of Awakening; Co-author, Judaism for Dummies.

Praise for The Thresholds of Intention

“This valuable book contains many insights into the perennial wisdom of humanity and serves as a stark reminder that what is important in this life is to conquer ourselves and not the world and to have the correct intention in all that we do.”

--Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Professor of Islamic Studies, George Washington University

"A wise, clear, and engaging guide to sorting through the clutter of our hopes and fantasies and helping us to find what we really want out of life."

--Richard Smoley, author Inner Christianity: A Guide to the Esoteric Tradition and Conscious Love: Insights from Mystical Christianity

"As all the great wisdom traditions have discovered, there is a place in which we discover a magical way to be in the world in which perfection announces itself as simply the way things are -- nothing to do on our part, nothing that we need make happen. The key is being, not doing. Helen Vandeman knows this place, and in The Thresholds Of Intention guides her readers there."

--Larry Dossey, MD, author Healing Beyond The Body, Reinventing Medicine, and Healing Words: The Power Of Prayer And The Practice Of Medicine

Philosophy and Comments        

We are all divine beings, whose essential nature is love, peace and joy. Our only problem is we have forgotten who we are, and have come to believe we are separate from each other and from the Divine. All our perception of scarcity, conflict or separation stems from our beliefs. A polished mirror needs nothing more than to reflect the Divine, since we are already what we are seeking to become. "Love asks that you be happy and will bring you everything that makes for happiness." ACIM
