How do you know who is sane and who is insane? Why do so many who experience manic also talk of God so intimately? Did you ever consider that manic was close to the experience of spiritual attunement? What if you found yourself opening up to a beautiful spiritual experience only to be locked away and labeled crazy? This true story is replicated around the globe for thousands of years. In some cultures, these experiences are invited and honored. In some cultures, they are frowned upon and folks are discarded. Everyone will relate to this life drama about ‘the girl next door’ forever changed from her mystical experiences while being mislabeled and institutionalized and then reestablished with a respectable reputation in society and the business world. It will open your eyes and heart to new considerations. There are truly diamonds to be mined in the rough seas of mental health and spirituality here on earth. Her story will shine the light on how she and many others who have had similar mystical experiences receive guidance from a Higher Power that makes navigation possible through the impossible mental health system while offering an astonishing demonstration of positive outcomes. Mainstream viewers are shocked at the depth and value of credible research occurring in universities around the globe for decades that has been hidden.
- NOTE: We will add to the missing research from a Christian experience & integrate open multi-cultural spiritual mental models & tools that support spiritually transformative experience integration over time.

- Judith Miller Ph.D., a professor of developmental psychology at Columbia University, has spent her life and career bridging the two worlds of mainstream psychology and spirituality. More than twenty years ago, Judith began to have spontaneous mystical experiences that ultimately led to experiences of Christ Consciousness. There was nothing in her background that prepared her for these experiences: she was a traditionally trained psychologist working clinically with persons diagnosed psychotic and schizophrenic, an agnostic, and a Jew. A search for an explanation led to her discovery that all spiritual traditions have the same mystical roots and meaning
- Ever since the term Spiritual Emergency was coined by Stan and Christian Grof, this phenomenon has mostly been studied within the framework of Eastern religious practices. The mainstream Western Christian religion, largely ignoring mystical experiences, has been unaware of spiritual emergency, leaving the job of helping those persons having these experiences to mental health professionals who may pathologize this experience.Peggy Lesniewicz, MA, PhD, LPCC-S
