GRADY HARP REVIEW on AMAZON.COM for THE SOUL WHISPERER by J.M. Harrison

‘All those who belong, simply belong; they belong to AMOR

– the Church of Love’ By Grady Harp

HALL OF FAME TOP 100 REVIEWERVINE VOICE

on April 5, 2016

Format: Paperback

British author and philosopher Jonathan Harrison is best described

as a Teacher of Being. In his previous book WE ARE ALL ONE

he gently but firmly and supportingly guided his readers towards a

path of self-realization. And in his superbly written next book

NAKED BEING: UNDRESSING YOUR MIND, TRANSFORMING

YOUR LIFE he advanced his ability to assist the reader in purging

the misconceptions of self, offers an understanding of the non-duality

(not separating the individual from the universe but instead realizing

that all is one) of each of our existences. And in his third book

YOU are THIS: AWAKENING TO THE LIVING PRESENCE

OF YOUR SOUL Jonathan opened his personal experiences and

before delving into the content of the book he offered a very helpful

glossary of terms that appears to be a signature in his writing.

Now we come to a novel – an unusual and particularly refreshing step

for a writer of self-improvement books – and he manages to underline

the concepts of his previous books in the form of story, another way

to communicate that processes of thinking that occur in his probing

mind.

Jonathan offers a synopsis that distills his tale well: ‘Following personal

tragedies and spiraling financial problems, Londoners Alex and Sara

are desperate to find ways to rediscover their zest for life. A free holiday

provides the perfect opportunity for a second chance, but not long after

arriving in France they discover that all is not what it seems...

A series of shocking revelations challenge their understanding of

humanity, as they are propelled into a dangerous world governed by a

ruthless occult society. Magical relics and extra-terrestrial objects

promise to unlock incredible secrets, but what extremes will people

go to in order to attain them? In a modern-day spiritual quest, Alex

and Sara will be forced to take control of their destiny, facing their

own demons along the way as time counts down, for them and the

entire human race...’

As fine as his philosophically bent books are, Jonathan proves here

that he is able to weave a terrific story that is utterly involving and

allows the reader to grow along with the characters in a manner that

hints at his previous books. He is a very fine author.

About Jonathan ...

Born in southern England in the mid 60's, by the early 1980's Jonathan's deep love of music was expressed through singing and songwriting. After the usual band circuits and gigs, he came into contact with London based Hard Times Productions, forming a positive rewarding relationship which resulted in the release of several records, publishing deals, session work, funded projects, jingles, TV advertising, media interviews and an interesting short stint as the lead singer of Frankie Goes To Hollywood (following the departure of lead singer Holly Johnson). At the close of his music career in 1990 he was awarded a double gold disc for his contribution to the Telstar compilation album "Get on This 2", which went to number 2 in the UK album charts.

From 1997 onwards he underwent a series of prolonged transformational experiences which radically altered his consciousness, causing him to look closely at human identity while becoming directly aware of what he calls the “Divine I-less nature of reality”.

In the early millennium years he spent extended periods of time dissolved in “Oneness” which yielded a profound holistic awareness.

In 2005, he made what he describes as an “illogical yet choiceless” decision to give up all commercial interests. Jonathan, together with his wife Wendy, and friend Sharon Jeffries subsequently found and restored an old Armagnac farm in Gascony, South West France from where they hosted workshops and retreats - a place called “The Dubon Centre of Healing and Awareness”.

Never having 'written' before, and following a mystical near death experience in early 2007, he penned his first book "We Are All One: A call to spiritual uprising". Written in just six days, the critically acclaimed book was awarded the Allbooks International Editors Choice Award (USA) in the Spirituality & Inspiration category.

Over the last few years Jonathan has appeared on numerous radio shows across North America including: ‘Sound Authors’ – World Talk Radio with Kent Gustavson, The Nancy Wallace Show, ‘Authors Audio’ with Jake D. Steele, 'Create Abundance Now' with Roxanne Brown, ‘Infinite Love Radio’ with Michelle Morovaty, Web Talk Radio, ‘Body Wonders Radio’ with Donna Vernon, ‘Intimate conversations with Masters and Mystics’ with ‘Toward the Light’ with Rev.Juliet Nightingale, ‘Connecting the Light’ with Mike Quinsey, ‘The Universal Spirit Connection’ (Leilani Schmidt), ‘Call of the Soul Connection’ (Xandra Graviet) ‘Tell me your story’ with Richard Dugan, ‘Contact Talk Radio’ with Dawn Stansfield. Many of his articles, poems and quotes appearing in consciousness / spirituality magazines and associated websites worldwide.

In January 2009 he was invited to teach alongside Barbara Marx Hubbard, Esther Hicks (Abraham, Law of Attraction, The Secret) Steve and Barbara Rother (lightworker.com) and others on http://www.worldchangingwisdom.com/pastpresenters.html/ - subsequently he was offered his own seminar series with leading edge US company Conscious Alliances.

During the winter of 2009 Jonathan was invited to take on the challenging role of Managing Director of Gaunts House in Dorset, England – a role he undertook until leaving in the spring of 2014.

Jonathan 's second book ‘NAKED BEING: Undressing Your Mind, Transforming Your Life’ – was published by O books on the 28th May 2010. It was honoured as an award winning finalist in the Best Books 2010 Awards (USA Book News) in the Spirituality genre.

He was interviewed by Conscious TV founder Iain McNay in 2011, during which they talked about illness, healing and the evolution of human consciousness. It has been repeated on the Sky freeview channels. To see that interview, just click on this link: Conscious.tv interview
