Summary: A light for anyone in pain
Comment: The problem of suffering for someone on the path of seeking G-d is a challenging and confusing one. Caroline Myss has done something extraordinary in that she has opened the door to understanding what kinds of pain the modern seeker of G-d must encounter and why, and what to expect and what to do with it. This is all in a modern language that calms and heals the soul, and imparts extraordinary hope. This is simply one of the ten best books/tapes/teachings on the life of the spirit I have ever encountered. For those tired of the traditional religious view of "life is a valley of tears (so just put up with it)", or "your faith isn't strong enough or you wouldn't be suffering", or "you'll be rewarded in the next world", and the rest of the un-helpful messages that might have spoken to an older world or era, but doesn't speak to ours, I STRONGLY encourage you to listen to this tape, again and again and again. It is one of those RARE pearls that changes your life forever.

Summary: "Tough Love" - And Highly Recommended
Comment: I listened to this abridged version of the audio cassette (which is why I didn't give it 5 stars - I wanted to hear the entire lecture)and, at times, it made me very uncomfortable. I felt most uneasy when Dr. Myss suggested keeping a journal of all the lies you've told for a month - the little 'white' lies as well as any whoppers. I haven't done it yet because I'm not sure I have the gumption to see all the untruths I speak over 30 days. However, she gives an example of how to be honest without being brutal with someone - and still honor your spiritual contract of honesty with God. So I think I'll try her suggestions and THEN count the times I'm actually untruthful!
In the end, though, this no-nonsense spiritual session actually left me relieved about the way my life is going. By emphasizing that everything you do in your life (no matter how small and humble it seems) is a necessary component of your spiritual path as well as a contribution to the world at large, Dr. Myss gives sacred meaning to all the 'simple' things in life. This tape is a must for anyone who feels they're not doing anything important in life or who feels their life is worthless.
In fact, Dr. Myss points out that life is supposed to be depressing at times, that even thoughts of suicide are to be expected in life's darkest moments that are sure to come and go. And, she points out, these dark moments DO eventually leave as she gives suggestions for how to move through these hollow times and emerge stronger and more faithful than before.
I disagree with Dr. Myss on only one point. While she stresses the importance of gratitude, she states it only counts if we express gratitude during the hard times in our lives. She seems to imply that gratitude comes too easily to matter when things in our lives are going as we want them to. Personally, I believe expressing gratitude for receiving or experiencing the things we want is just as important. Too many times, people take their good fortune for granted. It seems unsual for her to say expressing gratitude doesn't count unless we're miserable when we do.
Other than that and the fact that I know it was actually a three-hour lecture whittled down to a 90-minute cassette, I find this tape an incredibly illuminating and unique take on being a spiritual being in a human form. I know I'll listen to it again and again.

Summary: Life Changing, Amazingly Insightful
Comment: I've just finished listening to the tape set called Spiritual Madness by Caroline Myss. I can do nothing less than to thank God for the amazing insights that she gives. The information is fresh - I haven't heard any of our "spiritual leaders" speak so openly before. This tape set was definitely NOT watered down for the masses. It's an "in your face", honest challenge to get real with your spirituality, and throw the rest away.
Caroline speaks at such a deep level of spirituality, and she says it all so bluntly (which I love - nothing mushy gushy, nothing to make you feel more comfortable). It's fascinatingly refreshing to listen to. Every sentence has a new insight. Every sentence is heavy with meaning and direction for our lives. I've only listened once, but know that I'll have to listen many more times as I continue along my own spiritual path.
Caroline gives us many insights about why we are here, and how we've got so many wrong ideas about what life is really all about, and how we need to improve how we run our lives. She paints a detailed picture of God, and of what to do during our earthly existance. And she gives fascinating real-life examples of true spirituality that support what she says.
It will make you realize that everything you've done in life so far is nothing compared to where you could go in your future, but your future probably has no relation to everything that you've got planned. She cautions us against spiritual superstition, against wanting spiritual power for the wrong reasons, and against thinking that OUR plans for our spirituality can somehow override what God wants for us.
If you haven't hear it yet, I would highly recommend it. But I'm not sure absolutely everybody is ready for it yet.
