New review of my book - "ONE"
December 8, 2024.
it was amazing
“Thanks to the individual’s self-recognition of his unique self – it is his self that is distinct from others, the deep recognition and connection to the other will be possible. Therefore, one can see that in the end, there is not much chance of further development of the phenomena of separation and control in human society as they exist today.
When you become acquainted with the multidimensional law that requires direction and personal need for each other to expand in his or her own way, phenomena such as the desire to control or abolish the other will become known as self-destruction.”
Perhaps a simple translation would be, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” and as a general guide to respectfully existing in a culturally diverse space this sage advice is a temporary stay against violence. However, in this remarkable book/testimony Yossi Ronen explains his terror at being asked to dissolve all boundaries and submit his “selfhood” to a Oneness that felt consuming, subsuming, predatory and orgasmic in its unparalleled sense of well-being. Ronen met aliens or at least beings that had the ability to move from energetic form to physical form in the blink of an eye. He was understandably terrified at first but brave enough to risk a second and many subsequent interactions with these beings. Ronen allowed the spiritual caspases that dissolved his sense of self and reawakened in the expanded field of ONENESS, a feeling of profound elation often reported in NDEs. The love and loss of boundaries can be terrifying, akin to a loss of gravity and for those who have never experienced any kind of risk or enquiry outside the known safety of beliefs it is a big ask to believe Ronen’s story. I do believe him because I have been gifted with the trust and connection with Other.
Ronen was resistant at first to embrace the increased awareness that followed the first “visit’ because he found it isolating and disproportionate to realistic calibration. He found it unsettling and marvellous as he began to sense the light of fellow human beings, to see them in all their untapped, unrecognised and unawakened glory, to hear smells and to see sounds and for years he kept this secret knowledge to himself for fear of ridicule. But it was a heavy burden to know life had so much more to offer and ultimately the pressure to share this information took wing.
I bought Yossi Ronen’s book after watching him being interviewed by Jeff Mara. That the visitors who appeared to him were perceived as alien was the closest assessment Ronen could make of them based on lived experience and movies he had seen. In truth they may have been residents of this planet albeit occupying a dimension usually not accessible to physical reality. Whatever the truth is the meeting is a gift that has opened worlds and expanded Ronen’s perception of reality. If reality includes the unimagined it is mutable, fluid, unmeasurable and in a constant state of flux, it’s parameters perceived and reimagined by the observer/creator – us.
Ronen offers us all a new reality or at least the opportunity to dissolve the boundaries of thought and faction that maintain the illusion of separation. There is a place for the ego. It is the driving force of self-realisation but let’s not gift the ego Deity and the divine right of a prejudice that robs us of connection. Ronen intuits that love is the vivifying force of all there is, the lifeblood of a sentience that permeates and connects everything that is or will ever be. That time and space have no relevance in the expanded consciousness experienced by contact with these Otherworldly beings permits a new way of processing being. The challenge remains in how to explain Oneness to a world divided by fear and mistrust in a seemingly permanent state of war.
This is a book that raises more questions than it answers and whether we believe Ronen met with and interacted with aliens or even expanded versions of himself begs a revision of all that we currently accept as true. It begs a puncturing of boundaries that trap us in hatred and insouciance and asks us to open our minds to the possibility that after all love may well be all there is to anchor us in the amorphous and ever-shifting illusion we call life.
This is a book for our time and all time.
