Surprised by Grace: A Journey Beyond Personal Enlightenment
by Amber Terrell
True Light Publishing, Boulder, Colorado © 1997 247 pp.
Life in the spiritual fast-lane under unbearable light would be a description of this account. A long-term meditator, Amber Terrell was magnetized upon first encountering her Satguru Gangaji. Finding herself engulfed in longing and horror, pulled along in spite of herself, taken over in dreams and burning for hours, she managed to follow the path stumbling, crawling, and at times being carried. She has entered the river and there is no getting out. Seemingly, the lineage of Ramana Maharshi, Poogaji and Gangaji has claimed her for its own. Finally the illusion of the searcher disappears and “self-discovery unfolds endlessly.” (p. 241)
