Review

"A fascinating and illuminating work." -- Thom Hartmann, author of THE LAST HOURS OF ANCIENT SUNLIGHT

"An absolutely extraordinary book...[underlining] the necessity to know hell from the inside...a remarkable book long waited for." -- Stephen Levine, author of HEALING INTO LIFE & DEATH and A YEAR TO LIVE

"This is not a romanticized Dark Night’s Journey...the story of his odyssey is a naked dance of spirit." -- David Lukoff, co-developer of the DSM-IV category “Religious or Spiritual Problem.”

Product Description

DARKNESS SHINING WILD is an investigation of sanity, suffering, identity, death, and the far frontiers of spirituality, all constellated around the story of an extremely harrowing near-death experience. The hellish journey following that experience provides a jumping-off point for deep-diving reflections on topics ranging from the anatomy of dread to the relationship between madness and spirituality. The odyssey to the heart of hell and beyond that centers DARKNESS SHINING WILD provides not a consoling cartography of the transpersonal, but rather a reality-unlocking tour of the everwild Mystery of Being, in which revelation supplants explanation. DARKNESS SHINING WILD is especially suited for those who, having left the shores of the status quo, are discovering that the waters they are crossing have no obligation to remain benign or comfortable. It may also inspire those who, despite having done considerable psychospiritual work, nonetheless find themselves "sinking" into darkness. DARKNESS SHINING WILD is dedicated to those whose longing to be truly free is stronger than their longing to be distracted from their suffering.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Need The Right Frame Of Mind, August 9, 2007
It's a great read. Understand where the author is coming from. It has its place, knowing how profoundly one can sink into despair and also fly so high. Not for the fainthearted however.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting material, but repeatitive, June 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The case of severe psyhich breakdown and recovery over a quite long period is very rare and fascinating material. I'm also often contemplate about the essence of fear and pain. It is very insightful text and brings forth the conclusion that in order to evolve spiritually we must face our fears. I am not to that level yet, I have still my psyhological fraights but to put it paradoxically I'm not afraid to be afraid.
