'We Are Life by Peter Griffiths is a non-fiction theology book that explores the complex ties between ourselves as humans and the entirety of life in all of its many forms on earth. Griffiths begins with a story of his relative youth with a farmer who was an adept water diviner in his native Australia, a small experience alongside a handful of conversations that had a profound effect on a young man's perception of energy and connectivity. A few years later Griffiths has a flash of insight--a vision--giving cause for much deeper, much more meaningful looks into life energy and life force over the next five decades. Spread throughout ten chapters, Griffiths describes his perspective on our bodies, origin, and purpose, Mother Nature and our sense of self, spirituality, religion, and death, and the sustainability of humanity into the future. Peter Griffiths writes with a relatable voice that makes We Are Life easy to understand, no small task for a book meant to assist in understanding the meaning of life. There's an authenticity to Griffiths' method of writing that made me feel like I was having a conversation with a friend, and this is where I believe my level of trust and comfort was extended above and beyond where it would normally lie with another less skilled writer. What I found most interesting was the biological science employed in a great deal of the connections made, particularly as it applied to Mother Nature and the chapter on whether or not she has an agenda. Her predisposition to heal and balance gives us the answer even if we are unable to grasp something so much greater than us. If anyone can explain it in a way that brings you over to the light side, it's going to be Peter Griffiths. Very highly recommended.' 5-star review by Jamie Michele 'We Are Life by Peter Griffiths looks into the theories surrounding life with a unique perception and reveals the connection between the earth, humanity, and 'life energy'. The author speaks about writing down his insights and when he started reviewing them, he noticed many patterns and ideas fitted together and brought out various interesting insights. The book that follows is a collection of the notes which says the origin of all life is life energy itself which was given different names at different times; the Universal Mind, Mother Nature, Infinite Intelligence, the Soul, and the Universal Life Force. Life is interconnected and interdependent, and each one of us is part of something greater. Life energy is a natural energy that powers all life on earth through the life force, and the book gives answers to the basic fundamental questions that crop up in the minds of readers. I like the way Peter Griffiths has handled the subject. It will make readers think and give them an awareness of life and how the various environments on earth will be in balance and sustainable, planet-wide. The author's words will make readers realize that they are all part of Mother Nature and if they cannot bring a sustainable balance to the planet, then Mother Earth will do it. The author speaks of many concepts and how these helped him become aware of the natural world. Reading the book gives readers a unique understanding of life and is also a good way for readers to find a way to be part of future solutions instead of being part of a problem.' 5-star review by Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite 'Many of us often wonder what is the meaning of life. What should our mission be while we are here on earth? What is the difference between consciousness and the unconscious mind? What happens when we die? What are the differences between religion and spirituality? As our environment evolves, what is the future for mankind? During his 75 years of life experience, Peter Griffiths shares the pivotal moments and people who have come into his life and provoked a deep need to answer these questions in We Are Life. After his retirement, he stumbled upon a treasure trove of old thoughts, ideas, and theories regarding the meaning of life. Although there are many aspects of the universe that we do not yet understand, there is credible evidence of unexplained energy that we all possess. Discover how we can utilize this energy as well as the insights, instincts, and significant ideas as they occur - not only for our benefit but the future of generations to come. Discover the huge capabilities our minds possess and learn how we can utilize these effectively. As humanity is facing a crossroads in regards to social, environmental, and developments in technology, how can we adapt our mindset for the benefit of the planet, nature, and mankind? The content of this well-written and profound book is very uplifting. Peter Griffiths' insights are truly inspiring and encouraging. This is a real education in self-awareness and how we can improve our sub-conscious mind. There are so many aspects of We Are Life that I thoroughly enjoyed. The chapter around Mother Nature and how she repairs the imbalance of the environment was so interesting. The differences between spirituality and religion were perfectly explained and, as a spiritual person myself, I found great comfort in Peter's theory. The analogy he used to explain the invisible energy that we all possess was perfect. I totally agreed with his viewpoint on how the education system is drowning out individualism. I also enjoyed the chapter on consciousness and self immensely; his explanations throughout are so easily understood. Peter's wisdom and intellect on this subject were refreshing and compelling. I cannot wait for his second book derived from the remainder of his profound and thought-provoking notes.' 5-star review by Lesley Jones for Readers' Favorite 'Many of us often wonder what is the meaning of life.

Very highly recommended.' 5-star review by Jamie Michele 'We Are Life is a thought provoking read. With the planet in dire circumstances and multiple threats to its sustainability, beginning to learn the perspective of how extraordinarily connected we are to everything around us is an important lesson. Peter takes you on a journey through his observations over a period of decades that demonstrates we are all energy. We are the fabric of all that is around us as everything is made of the same - electrons, atoms and molecules. His delivery gives you a beautiful understanding of a complex subject. You can't help but think on a deeper level as to our existence on the planet, our future and how our subconscious is intrinsically linked to physical matter. Peter's book is a must read.' Lesley Van Staveren 'The importance of understanding what Peter has written can not be taken lightly as ultimately life as we know it is changing at an accelerated pace. Peter has proposed an alternate way of looking at what is happening and how inaction will result in what he refers to as a change in the balance . Life as we know it can and will change but the greater the swing of the pendulum one direction, requires the same distance travelled in the opposite direction to maintain the balance. This is a book with an extremely large message of great importance to us all.' Mark Burnham

Author Information

Author Peter Griffiths was born in rural Queensland, Australia, in 1945. The world he lives in now has changed enormously since then, and two of his memories help give context to some of the changes taking place since his early years. The first was in 1957, when he went outside at night to watch the pinpoint of light that was the sputnik satellite travel across the sky. The second was in 1969 while serving in Vietnam and listening to the broadcast of the first moon landing. Peter has condensed seventy-five years of life experience and observation into his debut book. Over his working life, he has lived and worked in most states of Australia and for many years owned an export business operating throughout Papua New Guinea and the South Pacific. During these years he met and worked with a diverse mix of interesting colourful and sometimes unique characters. He spent time in different and interesting places and had exposure to a wide range of ideas and cultures. Through his interactions and experiences over the years, he became increasingly aware that there are still many aspects of our natural world that we do not understand. That awareness, and the freedom of retirement, has allowed him to spend the time reviewing these years and insights, and attempt to put them into a logical context.
