Vivian Amis, Author of The Lotus

Today we are interviewing Vivian Amis about her new thought/spirituality book "The Lotus | Realization of Oneness."

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I am a teacher of Spiritual Consciousness, a mystic and author who was born in Wiesbaden, Germany. In 1992 I moved to America with my three children after my divorce. During the years 2001-2004 I had a profound spiritual transformation that changed my life.

Describe the purpose of your book in a few sentences.
The purpose of this book is to outline a path to end suffering in our life and so in the world.

Who do you think would most appreciate this book?
Those that are on a conscious path to realizing their true Self and seekers of a deeper meaning to life.

What inspired you to write a book on Oneness?
The inspiration for writing this book while writing my book “I AM”, which covered the topic of how we create our experiences. I saw the need of writing a book that took the reader beyond the mind into the spiritual realm of Oneness.

Tell us a bit about your own experience with the pursuit of Oneness.
I was raised Catholic, when the church could not give me satisfactory answers on questions pertaining life, God and who I am I turned away from the church and turned within. I searched for answers for more than 18 years, until I one day heard God say to me “I am closer than you think”. This was my “aha” moment that took me back, before thought… into silence. There I realized my Oneness with God and all life.

One of the topics covered in the book is about how the surrender of the mind, heart, and soul can be a way out of suffering. Can you elaborate on the surrendering process?
Both Jesus and Buddha were tempted three times. These temptations are the blockages that keep us from realizing Oneness and are the cause of suffering. That is why Jesus said to love God with all our heart, all our mind and all our soul. The way out of suffering is to surrender our attachments, our desires and our life. The process is simple yet not easy: just hand it over and let go.

What was the most interesting thing you uncovered while doing research for the book?
That both Jesus and Buddha were tempted three times and on the same subjects.

How do you think reading your book will impact people?
I think that reading my book may give people the opportunity to heal, be uplifted, and inspired to seek Oneness with the divine in each and every one of us.

What do you have in mind for your next writing project?
I am in the process of writing my next book: The Prayer of Oneness.

Is there anything else you'd like potential readers to know about your book?
I am offering my e-book free on Amazon August 6th-8th.
