As the title suggests, You’re Not Going Crazy . . . You’re Just Waking Up! is aimed at those who have just woken up and who are wondering what is happening. This is the same ground that Adyashanti specializes in, but Mirdad’s treatment is rooted in the Course in Miracles. Specifically, much of what he says forms a sort of expanded commentary on chapter 4 section I.A of the Manual for Teachers, a section titled “Development of Trust.” Mirdad proposes a five-stage model for the process after awakening, consisting of dismantling, emptiness, disorientation, rebuilding, and a new life.The book certainly is short, but given that I was reading it on the computer, I welcomed this. Also, Mirdad gets straight to the point as he discusses each topic, and he doesn’t pad his book out with chatter — his discussion is dense with distilled wisdom. Hence, I’m very satisfied with this, my first e-book purchase.
