Watching my sister slip away into an eternal place and hearing the gratification in her voice as she transformed to the other side is what gives me peace. We walked together in that tunnel. I can't help but wonder what if I would have remained there too. Would I have experienced the same overwhelming joy my sister felt, instead of letting the paralyzing fear take over me causing me to be left behind?

What I experienced would make any individual wish that they were dead. Still I continue to hear how blessed I am to be alive. If I knew what I would be faced with when I awakened, I wonder if I would have rather remained asleep...

I stopped trying to figure out why I survived and have learned to embrace the encounter I had with The God of Elijah. If you have picked up this book, The God of Elijah desires to have an encounter with you. Jesus said that no man comes to Him, except God draws them. So relax, quiet your soul, and come with me on my journey, as I reveal what happens when the miraculous shows up.

Death stared me in the face; hell was hard on my heels. Up against it, I didn't know which way to turn; then I called out to GOD for help: "Please, GOD " I cried out. "Save my life " GOD is gracious it is he who makes things right, our most compassionate God. GOD takes the side of the helpless; when I was at the end of my rope, he saved me. I said to myself, "Relax and rest. GOD has showered you with blessings. Soul, you've been rescued from death; Eye, you've been rescued from tears; and you, Foot, were kept from stumbling." (MSG) Psalm 116: 3-8

Constructed around a series of late night conversations around a camp fire between Cheryl Simone and Sadhguru Vasudev on an Island in the middle of a Western North Carolina lake near her mountain home, "Midnights with the Mystic" is the most thorough exposition of the teachings of India's most sought after mystic. Sadhguru challenges us to embrace the possibility that to each of us is available a higher realm of reality, a peak of consciousness; an entree into the realm of freedom and bliss.

Simone, an Atlanta real estate developer, was the typical baby boomer in search of an authentic spiritual experience. Professionally successful, yet spiritually arid, she discovered a way into what she was looking for in the teachings of Sadhguru. Concrete and down-to-earth, "Midnights with the Mystic" both provides readers with an introduction to profound spiritual teaching and a personal glimpse of a charismatic guru."
