Spiritual Madness: The Necessity of Meeting God in Darkness Audio CD – Unabridged, September 1, 2002
Purchase options and add-ons
If you are living a spiritual life, it is inevitable that one day you will be plunged into darkness, what Saint John of the Cross described as the "dark night of the soul." Through the ages, every mystic has experienced this interior trial. What of today's mystics, who seek the divine while holding down jobs and caring for their families?
On Spiritual Madness, Caroline Myss describes a path for the modern mystic, a way open to people from all walks of life who seek the first step toward true mystical experience. Mystics of past ages, Myss begins, generally retreated from society. In solitude they sought to achieve freedom from the self and unity with God through prayer and meditation. Today, spiritual seekers are faced with conflicts no monk ever faced, leading to a dark night unique to our age. This deep and rich madness is an inescapable part of the contemporary mystical journey.
Join Caroline Myss as she uncovers the roots of mystical experience, both ancient and modern,and reveals:
The true reason we invite God into our lives
• Why spiritual intimacy can lead to chaos in our personal world
• Four questions crucial to your spiritual direction that therapists never ask
• How mystical experience translates into everyday life in our time
• The truth about spiritual powers such as clairvoyance, healing, and bi-locating
• A way to end spiritual confusion with a simple, honest prayer
• Many self-teaching exercises and practices for daily life
Spiritual Madness is a unique and daring session that reaches to the borderland of spiritual experience,where the inner mysteries of the divine are fully opened in the outer world of career and family.

About the author
Caroline M. Myss ' Biography
Caroline is dedicated to creating educational programs in the field of human consciousness, spiritually and mysticism, health, energy medicine, and advancing the science of medical intuition. She established CMED, her own educational institute, in 2003, which offers two programs running three courses per year, on Sacred Contracts and Mysticism. Additionally, Caroline maintains a rigorous workshop and lecture schedule internationally and continues a consultation practice with physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other health practitioners, as a medical intuitive.
In 1996, Caroline compiled her years of research in medical intuition with her work in the field of human consciousness, releasing the book, ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT. This book became a New York Times bestseller and has been published in 18 languages. To date, it has sold over 1.5 million copies.
In investigating the underlying reasons why people sabotage their healing processes, Caroline identified a syndrome as 'woundology', characterized by a person who prefers to rely upon the power of illness for manipulation of his or her world as opposed to attained an independent, empowered state of health. As with her other ground-breaking research, this syndrome is now a recognized psychological condition. Her work in this area became the subject of her fourth book, WHY PEOPLE DON'T HEAL and HOW THEY CAN. This book was Caroline's second New York Times bestseller.
Caroline released her fifth book, SACRED CONTRACTS, which became her third New York Times bestseller. As with her previous books, this one is also in 18 languages and reports sales of well over 1.6 million.
Due to the interest generated by her work in Sacred Contracts, in 2003, Caroline opened CMED (Caroline Myss Education), her own educational institute. CMED offers two programs per year, each three sessions long. The first is on Sacred Contracts and the second is on Mysticism, Intuition, and Healing. The Institute draws students from nineteen nations, as well as across the United States.
In 2004, Caroline released her sixth book, INVISIBLE ACTS OF POWER, which also became a New York Times bestseller. She is now working on her seventh book: ENTERING THE CASTLE. She has also just published her first book through her company, CMED, entitled, THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON, an extraordinary piece of literature that was channeled sixty years ago by a nearly-blind woman named Edith Ellis. Myss considers this project to be a vital part of her commitment to support an archive of information on her personal passion, which is the mystical history of America.
Through the years of her career, Caroline has taught in thirty-five countries, continuing her international work at present. In addition to writing six books, Caroline is the leading recording artist for Sounds True, Inc., the major audio recording company in the holistic field. She has recorded with them since 1990, producing 30 different titles. Her entire library of recordings now number of 180.
In 2003, Oprah Winfrey gave Caroline her own television program for one year with the OXYGEN network in New York City, which ran successfully for one year.

Happy Reading.
Thus we find ourselves, you and I, dear RR (which as some of you know stands for Review Reader, while others will believe it means Reluctant Reader) at the end of Volume A, side 1. My first impression for what it is worth is that Ms. Myss is full of poop [clearly Amazon may choose to delete that little word; I just hope they don't delete the entire review]. By this, I mean she does not have an inkling of what she's talking about. By looking at the box, I see 'Spiritual Madness' came to exist in 1997; it will soon be a teenager. Remember those teenage years when our hormones ran rampant and controlled us so very much? I feel Volume A, side 1 is out of control. By this I mean that Caroline simply does not know -- and that is the operative word -- her subject matter. She makes assumptions about us, the listeners who to remain 'appropriate' must be silent in that great lecture hall except for brief laughter in appreciation of the good doctor's wit, assumptions that quite frankly are ludicrous. She asks how we talk to God, what we pray for, what kind of response do we expect, and then she proceeds to answer these questions herself rather than calling on members of the audience to provide Real Answers. Yet these questions she frames are by no means rhetorical. They suggest that Dr. Myss really does not know the people listening to her, and in an even more horrible sense, that she really doesn't care that much who is listening, as long as she is allowed to say her piece. This is critical. I am writing this review because I experienced an epiphany (though only God knows why I was chosen of course). Through that epiphany I learned in the blink of an eye that God exists -- and that He embraced me with His Love. These became the facts, not beliefs, underpinning my very existence. So when sweet Caroline assumes the way I pray is only to ask God for material goods, well, truly she is full of poo. Since I am by no means a unique individual on this earth, I would have to assume many if not all of Caroline's audience have had their own spiritual experiences; otherwise why aren't they home watching TV? So Volume A, side 1, just doesn't fly. Dr. Myss often makes the statement 'What if I were your spiritual director? What would I ask you to do, etc?' How does this woman make the ridiculous assumption she could be mine or anyone else's spiritual director? From what I've heard so far, she is the one in need of a spiritual director and not her audience. Okay, thus endeth my quickie review of side 1. We're not off to a good start. Let's pray side 2 or the other cassette gets better. I'll be picking this up again after listening to that next side.
