The five stages of the soul transformation process
You're not going crazy... you're just waking up!
In his view of the soul transformation process there are five stages, which I think many people will recognize:
- Dismantling: when your life seems to be falling apart.
- Emptiness: when your emotions catch up with all the changes and you feel depressed and alone.
- Disorientation: when your mind tries to make sense of it all, and can not.
- Re-building: when hope comes into your life because things are starting to change.
- A new life in which you'll probably be making new mistakes and get caught up in new illusions.

Dismantling, emptiness and disorientation
I think this is the reason that Mirdad says on page 4 that it's also possible to split the process up in two: dismantling (which includes emptiness and disorientation) and rebuilding (which includes the 'new life').
“Learning through reward is more effective than learning through pain.
- ACIM (A Course in Miracles)”
Rebuilding and New Life
Do you recognize these five stages in your life?

I get a lot of spiritual books sent to me. In many cases I don't think they're worth reviewing, but this one is really a great read. It's simple, yet profound. It's inspiring and helpful. I recommend this book to anyone whose life is falling apart. This will help you let go what needs to be let go and pick up the pieces after.

Rate it, if you dare...
The best line ever (quote):
Your soul is beginning to shake things up, question your reality, and guide you to a higher level of consciousness. To facilitate this transformation, however, your ego-based life first must be Dismantled. A New Life can then be rebuilt on a firmer, more secure foundation - a foundation in spirit. But, before you can reach the stage of the Soul Transformation Process referred to as "A New Life," you will first feel like you're losing your mind and the life you once knew. (p. xii)

- The five stages of the soul transformation process: Michael Mirdad
- Mirdad looks at the process of spiritual transformation as a cycle consisting of 5 stages. We will go through these stages again and again as we let go of the past and reinvent ourselves. The only way to avoid them and step out of the cycle is to become so aware of our own growth process as to learn the lessons needed without life needing to give us a hint.
