Twenty-five years in the making, this spiritual memoir of journalist and author D. Patrick Miller tells the story of how a young investigative reporter transformed into a modern mystic. Along the way, he has played a significant role in furthering the public awareness and understanding of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) as both a spiritual journalist and an independent publisher. “I had to confess long ago that I’m mostly a mystic,” says the author, “mainly because I am so often mystified.” Chronicling a childhood marked by an emotionally disturbed family life and a young adulthood transformed by a seven-year illness and spiritual crisis, Miller tells a story that will reverberate powerfully with readers who have faced their own challenges in a “spiritual but not religious” age of rapid and tumultuous change. Topics included in this provocative collection of autobiographical essays include astral projection, escaping the clutches of gurus, forgiving a parent with bipolar disorder, healing from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, the challenges of reporting on one’s own spiritual path, and much more. D. Patrick Miller has written ten books and over one hundred articles in print and online, and has also contributed to the success of many other authors through his editorial and publishing services.
