She also displays the rare gift of courage - the courage it often takes to leave a group or a forum with detachment and without the kind of false loyalty that so often keeps a seeker enslaved and addicted to a path and its community. --Nurit Oren with Gabor Harsanyi, Spiritual teachers In this book, Elena takes you on a journey that reveals her real life experiences of the search for enlightenment, and shares invaluable, practical guidance resulting from the magic and the misery of it all. The writing is simplicity itself, in her unique enjoyable voice she speaks to her readers as an equal, without the rarified air of a teacher, daring them to let go of everything they think they know about seeking, about enlightenment, and about who they really are. Elena takes all of the many experiences one can have on this journey, distills them down to their essence in eminently readable form, offered like a wrapped gift. Accessible and beautifully devoid of non-dual BS. --Cynthia M.
