Why read it?

2 authors picked Spiritual Emergency as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I learned much from these essays that helped me understand my own spiritual experiences and helped me counsel others. I particularly like the way that transcendental experiences (e.g. near-death experiences, mystical moments, channeling, UFO encounters) are portrayed not as signs of mental disorder but as potentially disturbing moments along the path of personal growth and development—understood through various religious and spiritual traditions.   

I appreciated the essays that offer valuable suggestions for families, support groups, and professional caregivers to assist those in crisis.           

Comprehensive in scope, deep in the accumulated experience and knowledge brought to bear on the issue of mental, emotional, and physical well-being; this amazing work played a crucial role in awakening me to the broader horizons of the healer’s work. Ranging from crises of psychic, spiritual, and kundalini awakening to the trauma of UFO encounters; this work seeks to chart a supportive path whereby spontaneous traumatic openings to that ‘something larger’ which lays beyond us can be viewed and responded to as susceptible to integration, rather than suppressive medical interventions, thereby opening unparalleled opportunities for profound personal and spiritual growth.
