Cultural Writing. Spirituality. ENLIGHTENMENT BLUES is Andre van der Braak's compelling account of his relationship with a prominent spiritual teacher. It chronicles both the author's spiritual journey and disenchantment as well as the development of a missionary and the controversial community around the teacher. It powerfully exposes the problems and necessities of disentanglement from a spiritual path. "Ruthlessly honest and unsettling.a vivid account.essential reading."-Stephen Batchelor.
