Reviews
“I just finished reading “We are all Shadows” – this book addressed specifically my questions about some of the beliefs I hold that I am not comfortable with, but didn’t know their counterparts, – but they were identified in here. Kind of like, “I think like this, I don’t think I’m correct, but how can I reconcile when I’m not really sure I’m wrong – some link in between is missing” – the link was in your book. I came away refreshed and clear. Awesome writing!” – Carol Endres, Coast to Coast AM ListenerOut-of-Body Travel, Out-of-Body Experiences, Out-of-Body, Astral Travel, Astral Projection, Near Death Experiences, Mystical Experiences, Mysticism, Marilynn Hughes“I just finished reading “We are all Shadows” – this book addressed specifically my questions about some of the beliefs I hold that I am not comfortable with, but didn’t know their counterparts, – but they were identified in here.
