Customer Reviews: We know what it is, but we can't do anything about itSeptember 17, 2008 Mick Bysshe(Tennessee USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book was recommended to me by a college professor and former nun after I mentioned that I was having some experiences with spontaneous kundalini. I needed guidance. Joan Adler's journey was somewhat like mine yet somewhat different. I was particularly amused with an incident where some doctors basically told her concerning her health issues: *we know what it is--it is something to do with kundalini--but we cannot do anything about it; try reading Dante's "Inferno."* That seems par for the course with those who experience the spontaneous kundalini syndrome: you're in hell. With a DSM-IV category called *Spiritual Emergency* there may be some hope for those who slip through the cracks and are *diagnostically homeless,* as one writer has put it. My grown daughter read this book and said Joan had quite an imagination, which made me think what's imaginary about the world she was describing? Nothing as far as I was concerned. I heartily recommend this book.
