One: A Novel

Loved this book! I saw it at a flea market several years ago, while I was holding it the woman running the booth pointed to it & said "That book changed my life." I bought the book (who wouldn't after that comment) & I read a few chapters in, but I don't think I was able to wrap my head around the magnitude of it's concept. I'm older now, my life has changed considerably since that day at the flea market. When I stumbled across it on Amazon, I remembered just enough to 'know' I needed this book. I read it in 2 days. A few days prior, I read 'Illusions', also by Richard Bach (I read that 2 times in one day). I say this because, I haven't read a 'novel' since college... I am now 50 years old. I highly suggest 'Illusions' as an intro to this book (One). Illusions is easy to fall into, funny & has no romantic story line (for you guys out there). It's just about a couple of ordinary guys (well, 'ordinary' is still up for debate). While reading Illusions, I found myself gazing out of the window to consider the magnitude of it's words & the meaning they had on my life... for such a simple little story, my mind went into extra-ordinary directions. The photo below is an excerpt from 'Illusions' - the rainbow is just sun shining thru a crystal in my window... "This world? And everything in it? ILLUSIONS!" -Richard Bach But this review is about 'One'. I don't know if I could have grasped 'One' without reading 'Illusions' first. 'ONE' is a game changer, without a doubt, it's a remarkable book - but you have to accept the 'illusions' before you can know the power of 'One'.

Don't waste your money on the ebook. It's hard to read and follow electronically but the actual book is amazing!

On a business trip in 1990, I took a detour to visit my hometown of Bedford, Va. and stopped at a nondescript drugstore. While walking down an aisle, a tiny book flew out of the shelf (from two feet away) and landed on the floor in front of my moving feet. No problem. I got the message. Over the last 35 years I've read hundreds of seminal books on transformation, attended seminars with high profile teachers, traveled to energy vortexes around the planet.....but ONE stands alone as the only book to ever blow my mind apart. Getting wacked in the pyramid at Palenque rivaled the mind-altering potency of this secret jewel, but ONE is available for everyone for 5 bucks. The characters didn't matter, the writing didn't matter, the information didn't matter. What mattered was the underlying structure, the mathematics of the Is-ness that transcended the words and spoke in a silent language throughout the book. This non-verbal energy field shifted and restructured my thought process. My mind remains stupefied and still shakes the head surrounding it at the memory of this amazing adventure. The magnificent mind, our greatest block to Beingness, must surrender its hold (thinking) or we cannot actualize. ONE was a major player in giving my mind the understanding it needed to LET GO! No contest, the NOW wins. It's the only book that has my SUPERRRRR-STAR rating.

Well written

Great book by Bach! It's 360 pages but large type and very easy to get through. A sort of stream of consciousness novel about Richard & Leslie in a plane as they go to other dimensions and probable selfs sharing and receiving wisdom as only living can. Great book from 1988 for those that follow Seth & Jane Roberts. You create your own reality is a prominent theme and expanded upon.

Looking for a book published several years ago, I purchased it and held my breath. It came quickly in the mail, was in excellent shape, and well worth the money (which wasn't very much). I am very satisfied.

This is my favorite book from Richard Bach! Start with Johnathan Livingston Seagull, and, don't stop -read all, but, in order this is important. He also has a "Ferret"series-Hilarious!!! "One" is magical. I call it a metaphysical love story. Bach writes from his reality, true stories, only changing the names, and, embellishing a bit. Make sure to have enough time, and, a place with no interruptions because you won't want to put this down!

Richard Bach is a unique author. His books are light and cheerful for the most part. The stories are interesting and keep you reading until you finish. Sometimes in one sitting. But the messages that are hidden within the written words and story line are awesome. They are absolute but yet he doesn't teach it, it is each readers own perceptions and revelations. Mostly different for every one. I have read ten of his books so far and I can't get enough. They have the ability to be life changing. I purchase them as gifts for others frequently.

Excellent
