The author lived in Andrew Cohen's spiritual community for 11 years, serving as editor of its magazine What Is Enlightenment? This compelling account of his relationship with his teacher chronicles his spiritual journey and eventual disenchantment, as well as the development of a controversial missionary community around the teacher - powerfully exposing the problems and necessities of disentanglement from a spiritual path. Ruthlessly honest and unsettling . . . a vivid account. - Stephen Batchelor.
