Journey Back to Oneness (2006)
So here we have it. Cathy Preston's first book has finally reached the light of day. What was going to be 'ever increasing circles' has homed in on the heart of the matter. . It's clear Cathy has put her heart and soul into this story
This is a tale of epic proportions yet it never deserts the raw processes of human existence. It weaves our everyday reality into a myth of heroic discovery. Although the story is, of necessity, linear, it is, indeed, mightily mythical and not without its biblical connotations. But it does not beat about the 'burning bush'. It beats with it.
For me, a myth must be super-imposed on one's every moment. All is available in every moment. It can be our template for living. This myth, is one of our deepest felt longing...to know Love. It uses that idealised romantic love between persons, as can Life anyway, to lead one on to the ultimate knowing of no separation. That last great 'duality' of male and female are called to resolve into the heart of the matter. The main players in this earth-shattering and earth-moulding drama, Misha and Lec, are drawn inch by inch into the intrigue that is, at once our own hearts poignant and prophetic longing. This is a template whereby any one of us might, too, become heroes, simply by a childlike listening and surrendering to our deepest longings, to our heartsong.
