Perfect Madness: From Awakening to Enlightenment

Perfect Madness: From Awakening to Enlightenment by Gorrell, Donna Lee. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781930722019.

From "Breaking the Crazy Barrier," to reaching "The Goal," Donna Lee Gorrell’s astonishing struggle illuminates the path traveled by masters of many mystical traditions. In the process, which includes bizarre physical symptoms, disorientation, trances and visions, we learn how Donna avoids the disintegration that has befallen her schizophrenic mother. We also discover that the road to enlightenment (as well as channeling kundalini) is not about "getting happy;" it is about critical choices, acceptance, surrender, and the conscious birth of ones true Self. Ultimately, Donna finds: "Our consciousness is the center of everything that ever has been or ever will be created. It is Self, loving and eternal. Most of all, it is real." Peppered with quotes from the Upanishads to the Bible, from Einstein to Zen masters, Perfect Madness is a well-researched and exquisitely written work that will find its place among the spiritual classics.
