Surprisingly great

Revisado: 09-20-23

I got this out of the plus catalogue today, because I was a little curious, and I am from Chicago, like the author. It’s wonderful. Ms. Weigel is funny, honest and writes well. I have my own experiences with after death communication & I believe it’s true. But that’s not my point- Ms. Weigel tells her story in her own unique way, and I’m so pleased that she’s shared it with us. I was completely charmed, shed a few tears, and will check out her other books.

Fabulous narration of my favourite James

Revisado: 06-24-22

Somehow Washington Square was not favoured in James’s lifetime, and he disliked it himself. But I love it. No one is on our heroine’s side, except, ultimately, herself. Thanks to Blackstone Audio for producing this great performance.

Dystopian and bleak

Revisado: 10-19-20

Loved the protagonist and the concept. Brilliant. Was kind of crushed to get thru all 11 hours with zero resolution & revolution. So much vision in the creation, but no vision to create the possibility of change & empowerment. In that way, there was a powerful message about generational & personal trauma, & how incapacitating it is. But i was saddened by the ending, and the entire last hour seemed much less concrete than the previous sections - more like a dream or a hallucination, whereas the previous sections were very concrete. Hope the very talented author keeps on writing, and empowers their characters. Fiction can create visions of hope & empowerment. But this book, although very thoughtful, is not one if those uplifting ones, so be prepared to be sad. Decent writing, and good narrator.

A treasure

Revisado: 10-14-18

Nearing the end of a long and adventurous life, Joan Halifax shares concepts for both coping with life, and personal growth. These concepts are clearly based on personal experience and observation, therefore, all the more valuable. I felt sometimes as if was having an informal session with a wise and sensitive therapist. I’ve returned to it several times since I bought it to solidify her concepts. Her speaking voice is gorgeous and soothing. I always have a little problem with the audio quality of Audible downloads (hey Audible!) - I’d gladly take the time for a slow download and a larger file size if the audio would have more detail and sound less digitized.

Fascinating and helpful

Revisado: 01-04-18

This is one of the most interesting books on health and spirituality I have ever read. I wish I had gotten it years ago. The only reason I haven't put 5 stars everywhere is that I'm only halfway. So far there have been many places that I've had to pause and reflect, to absorb new concepts. If you believe you are a spiritual being manifesting with a physical body, buy this book - it's like getting an owner's manual to your mind/body! It's wonderful so far and I'm really glad I bought it.

A Gem

Revisado: 11-29-17

Even though the audio is not up to contemporary standards, having these teachings on the Gita from the 70's is an absolute blessing. I'm halfway through and loving it so much, I had to post something about it. It consists of recordings from a course on the Gita he taught at Naropa U, and Ram is a very fine teacher. He must have been great at Harvard! In this way, it's also a mini-time capsule. I have studied the Gita before but this is opening it in a new way for me. I know I will turn to it again and again to untangle my own clinging.

Unfortunately unlistenable

Revisado: 12-15-14

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Love B. Alan Wallace. He's a great dharma teacher. Why he didn't dictate his own book I don't know, but the narrator chosen absolutely doesn't get it. So sad I bought this. Can't get a refund cause I don't have a membership.

Has Dreaming Yourself Awake turned you off from other books in this genre?

Will be very cautious in the future.

What didn’t you like about Tom Pile’s performance?

Seems quite divorced from the content of what he's reading.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Will get it as a Kindle.

Any additional comments?

Whatever the conflict was, it's a sad mistake to not have Mr. Wallace read his own book.
