Navigating the enigmatic terrain of spiritual discovery and self-doubt, Eliezer Sobel keeps us turning the page as he leads us along the razor’s edge of intermittent flashes of glorious connection and his frustration of feeling disconnected and incomplete.
Eliezer’s odyssey takes us from New York to Santa Cruz, Jerusalem to Pushkar, and Actualization workshops to Zen as he is compelled by the call to true enlightenment.
This entertaining, hip memoir intertwines vulnerable sensitivity with intelligent wit. We find ourselves rooting for his fulfillment as he chases his dream of internal transformation around the world with a variety of spiritual teachers. Wending through the oases of satisfying truth and the mirages of anxious seeking, the author mirrors our own yearning for a permanent peak experience instead of the unsustained glimpses we experience.
His heartfelt journey reflects all of ours, and reaffirms the truth that we hold all our own answers, and deep within are “something natural, free, and beautiful.” In bringing this truth home to us, Eliezer proves to be more of a wise way-shower than the stubborn monkey he claims to be!
