With One Voice – Awaken To The Beauty That Unites Us All – Review by Jim Martin

With One Voice explores the world of mysticism and it’s role in spirituality and religion. The documentary is a quest to learn from mystics, representing major religions, about their own spiritual journey and what knowledge they have gained. In the words of Father Keating in the film, “We are all mystics seeking to solve the mysteries of existence.”

The filmmakers who created With One Voice have produced a documentary that is not an external point-of-view of mysticism. Even though, it does use a narrator, Peter Coyote, it also makes extensive  first person interviews.  The unique quality of this story is that its point-of-view, while still subjective, is from the inside looking out.  Viewing the documentary brings the audience into the world of mystic spirituality, religion and to some extent exposes the viewer to the notion of inner peace.

Many people like to say that they are “spiritual.” rather than religious.  But what does that really mean? What is spirituality?  Where does spirituality begin and religion end?

The film is divided into eight areas:
