Having discovered the Spiritual Crisis Network thru my Psychotherapist, i soon became aware of this book. It opened doors like never before and made me realise i wasn't 'insane' after all. It was utterly vital in my personal navigation thru my own spiritual crisis. It includes important details on how to deal with such an event, and with the knowledge that i was not alone in my inner turmoil, brought about great re-assurance. The most important aspect that i learned from this book is that it is the death of the 'ego' that one experiences in such crises and not literally yourself. This was the cataylst to my recovery. Please read this book with care, as it can be quite disturbing if you are in the throws of spiritual crisis yourself, although it definately saved me from many more years of psychriatric care. This book may be your life saver. Further reading would be The Stormy Self. Buy it !
