Personal accounts exploring the shift from mental illness to
spiritual awakening. The first book in which people discuss their
own spiritual emergencies and share what helped them through. Our
authors are the experts of their own experience, and they share
their wild journeys with courage, insight and poetry. There are
fascinating parallels in their experiences, suggesting minds in
extremis go to similar places. These are beautiful postcards from
the edge of human consciousness, testaments to the soul's natural
resilience. Our authors have returned from their descent with
valuable insights for our culture, as we go through a collective
spiritual emergency, with old myths and structures breaking down,
and new possibilities breaking open. What is there beyond our
present egocentric model of reality? What tools can help us
navigate the emergence? "This book is essential reading for anyone
who wants to understand the connection between spiritual awakening
and what we normally term 'mental illness.' It is full of
inspirational and moving stories that show that psychological
disturbances often lead to significant personal growth, if
supported properly. As a culture, we urgently need a new paradigm
of mental illness and treatment, and this and this book makes an
important contribution to that shift.' Steve Taylor PhD, author of
The Leap and Spiritual Science
