Books as Sacrament: The Woman at Otowi Crossing by Frank Waters

If you have ever had a kundalini episode or even an altered state experience where there was clearly a “tectonic plate” kind of shift in your awareness, or if you are curious about this kind of awakening, please join us for this next Books as Sacrament! This is such a deeply moving and personal account of the emergence of higher consciousness all in one flash!

We experience in this brilliant expression, that emergence isn’t just a single momentary awakening (though it certainly often starts out as that.) Rather, it is a slow, painful process of realization and orientation, like a newborn child, you get it all and instantly at that first break through… the shattering impact of light after darkness, of freedom after confinement. Then the rub comes. The learning how to live in this vast new world with the body and mind given you by this world. The old rules, the old laws, don’t work. You have to learn the new ones. And yet, because you’re still here in this earth-body you have to acknowledge your obligations to it. This transformation isn’t a physical thing. There isn’t  any use in calling a doctor. It’s an experience transcending that. And once it has happened to you, it doesn’t need explaining. It is so simple, so inevitable, you wonder why it didn’t happen to you long before. It’s a normal, natural experience that eventually comes to every one of us. If you are piqued and curious about this process of Awakening, this is a very valuable investigation into what it entails.
