CONNECTING WITH THE ONE CONSCIOUS
In the tradition of Eckhart Tolle and in harmony with the wisdom of mystical Sufism, this spiritual book calls on the lessons of Mohammad Ali Taheri to explore how tapping into the One Consciousness can help answer life’s greatest questions.
In this guide to spiritual awakening, literacy scholar Sheida White melds the essential teachings of Mohammad Ali Taheri with her own insights and personal experiences to guide readers toward enlightenment.
As a native Farsi speaker, White communicates the significance and complexity of her culture’s spiritual teachings in a clear, warm, and conversational way.
Connecting with the One Consciousness offers a unified theory of consciousness—the origin of the physical universe, the process from which all reality flows. Connection with that process leads to joy and spontaneous acts of compassion.
With a welcoming blend of the secular and sacred, discover how to:
- cultivate a deeper understanding of enlightenment or spiritual perfection,
- become less reactive to unsettling circumstances,
- experience greater joy, creativity, gratitude, and inner calm,
- create a kinder, more peaceful, and unified world, and
- become an opening for positive vibrations to flow through.
An ideal fit for book clubs, this book contains fifty-five discussion questions to encourage reflection and integration.
Tap into the realm of the One Consciousness, where your real power lies.

Praise for CONNECTING WITH THE ONE CONSCIOUSNESS
“In Connecting with the One Consciousness, Sheida White offers a remedy to toxic mindsets: a paradigm shift to an awareness of our inherent connectedness with all that there is. The wisdom of Taheri and his teachings is practically unknown in western culture, but provides a path to a sense of connectedness that will resonate with a great many readers.”
—Dr. Stephen W. Kercel, teacher, cognition and human awareness
“This book has the power to change lives! Connecting with the One Consciousness is a compelling blend of spiritual, personal, and scientific writing. This deeply thoughtful and carefully researched work offers a thorough description of a spirituality—the One Consciousness—that permeates all life and transcends time and space as we know it.
“Weaving in examples from her own life, White lovingly—and with great attention to detail—shares how readers may experience life with greater freedom from the shackles of the limiting ego. We can experience a profound connection to the spiritual essence that is available to all of us and interconnects us all. With an uplifting message of hope, positivity, and inspiration, this rich exploration merits a contemplative reading. This book should be publicized widely in spiritual circles.”
—Liz Kinchen, mindfulness teacher and mentor
“Sheida White writes of ordinary circumstances and phenomena that have extraordinary depth. Her writing is a gentle path into this world. This is a manifesto of her soul. And if yours is anything like hers (spoiler alert: it is), then you will be in for a comprehensive, yet totally focused, journey through the realms of consciousness into the Great Oneness. White provides readers with her personal roadmap for our own unique journeys. The wealth of knowledge and wisdom in her endnotes alone is worth the trip.”
—Robert L. Petrillo, teacher, editor, facilitator, and fellow seeker
Look Inside
TAKING OFF FROM TEHRAN
An immigrant memoir of a bold teenager who was unwilling to be crushed by the marginalized status of women in Iran.
Sheida is barely fifteen years old when she learns her parents have arranged for her to marry a man twice her age. Growing up in midcentury Tehran, Iran, Sheida has always bristled under the idea that a woman’s proper place is inside the house. She has her own ideas about how she wants to live her life.
This unforgettable memoir depicts a young woman’s courage, resilience, and eventual success in overcoming a dysfunctional family, oppressive culture, and economic hardships.
Sheida “takes off” from Tehran to eventually earn a PhD from Georgetown University and lead groundbreaking research in literacy that is cited by some 6,000 scholars from across the globe.
The story of this young immigrant of limited means—but abundant human spirit—will resonate with anyone who has braved the unknown and kept dreaming.
This book brings history and geography to life with personal photos and stories.
