The Principle of Oneness is the second book of Russell Gibbs and like his first book, takes a brick and hits you in the head.
Russell explains the myriad concepts of Physics and blends them with Spirituality.
This is one of the qualities that I like about Russell's books. They would not let you realise it and yet teach you unforgettable lessons.
In these books, on one hand you explore great scientists as Albert Einstein, Neil Bohr, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking and Sigmund Freud, on another you follow the journey of Rumi, Buddha, Aristotle. The journey involves a mystic soothing to the enlightened skeptical mind.
In no time, you feel peaceful, knowledgeable and yet curious to know everything there is to know.
Being a Physics enthusiast, I could connect with some technological terms used which the author has explained . I could see how swiftly the author took a piece of a complicated looking stuff, wrapped it up in the best way possible and ensure that the book never loses its lucidity.
Russell's books are not just talks, they are highly organized and well written keys to a wonderful and informative lifestyle. When you listen to something with its evidence, you never cease to believe. It is a book that combines Science and Philosophy amazingly.
From antimatter, dark energy, God, time, universe to their oneness, this little book is a pocket full of Rumi and Einstein in matchbox.
Moving onto the analytics, the literary flow is perennial and smooth. The descriptions engaging and the cover is a delight to touch. Adheres to the deck while exploring unknown waters of metaphysical topics.
I loved the concept of loving your broader self .How easily do we decide that others are not part of us, that they are made of something different, so we forget to see their intentions and judge them saying it is their behavioral attribute. Oneness conveys the message of thinking of everything as a part of one entity beautifully.
The singularity exists and exists within you.
Going to remember this quote for a very long time.
Verdict : Fan since book #1, 5 stars are all that I have to offer.

The Principle of Oneness is a perfect blend of Philosophy and Physics.
Loved the way the author explains the Oneness of the Universe/the God.

At a little over 100 pages The Principle Of Oneness: A Practical Guide To Experiencing The Profound Unity Of Everything is a great book to read in one sitting....but a guide that you can keep with you always. An interesting read...thought provoking and just what I needed at a time when I am learning to "center" my life and steer away from all negative forces from others and the ones that I bring into my life myself. I found wonderful inspiration and guidance from this book. A philosophical take on the principles of Enlightment, the second book in a series of 8!! I am excited to read all the others.
Thanks as always to the wonderful peeps of goodreads, to Russell Anthony Gibbs, and to Wave Cloud Corporation for my free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review to which I gladly and voluntarily gave.

Author Russell Anthony Gibbs does it again. The Principle of Oneness expounds on the first principle from his award winning and bestselling book, The Six Principles of Enlightenment and Meaning of Life.
His new book offers compelling enlightenment information in a clear and concise read. It illuminates the interconnectedness (Oneness) of the physical and spiritual realities, using quantum physics, philosophy, and religion to support his explanation.
It left me with a much deeper understanding of who I am and my profound connection to absolutely everything. With this highlighted awareness, my approach to life has been realigned in a powerful way.
After reading this, his second book in his series of enlightenment material, I look forward to his third installment.

The connections of everyone and everything are both physical and spiritual in nature. This book explains the scientific and spiritual unity of the Oneness of the Universe. It also is a practical guide to experience this Oneness and feel the joy of our profound connections.

I have a friend who keeps talking to me about the oneness of everything in the world and the work of Quantum Physics, this peaked my interest in the subject. This book is a clear exposition of these thoughts and reflects them by a brief description and then several quotes. These citations come from many different sources including the bible, Islamic writers and non religious sources.
I enjoyed the book and have a better understanding of the subject now. Whether I believe It? I am still of an open mind.
I was given this book by NetGalley and the publisher. This is my voluntary review.

In The Principle of Onness, Russell Gibbs brilliantly expands on the insights developed in the preceding The Six Principles of Enlightenment and Meaning of Life. I have been digging in the same rich mine of personal and spiritual awareness as Gibbs for decades. He has brought forth gems.
As in his first book, simple, clear expositions of the interrelation of complex ideas from spiritual thought, science, and psychology are juxtaposed with startlingly powerful quotations from a dazzling array of authors that explode with illumination.
The core of his message is that all of us have within ourselves the gift of our own self-awareness and happiness. “Enlightenment is man’s release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man’s inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another.”
Lao Tsu spoke of “teaching without teaching.” That’s the wonderful trick Gibbs pulls off in The Principle of Oneness. Rather than acting as the all-wise guru telling us what we have to do to live more meaningful lives, he opens the door so we can walk through it ourselves – as we need to.
The challenge we all face is the lack of courage to trust the truth within us.
“The single most important relationship you have is with yourself; when you realize you are everything, your relationship with yourself can become an infinite expression of love. How you treat and view yourself (personal consciousness) may dictate how you interact with the rest of yourself, the Universe/ God. If you hate yourself, you will hate others. If you love yourself, you will love others. If you are hard on yourself, you will be hard on others. If you are compassionate with yourself, you will be compassionate with others. Love, respect, unconditionally accept, and encourage yourself to the greatest of your abilities. Either love who you are and where you are— relishing this moment— or love where you are going and who you will become, delighting in your path.”
Buy this book and live with it the rest of your life.

Loved this book! I strongly believe in the concept of Oneness and this book explains it beautifully with quotes and excerpts from different religious leaders and scriptures. The essence is that God is an infinite field of energy and everything (all matter and energy visible or non-visible) is part of this infinite energy. Will definitely recommend this book.
