Being shaken awake was the veil-lifting initiation. Spinning out and plunging deep into the other side's dark abyss was the test. Stumbling back through full circle to reality was not the end, but another beginning. A present-day mystical memoir of mythical proportion, Duke Johnson details his first person account of illumination to the dark side of life. The harrowing psychological voyage is enough to make any reader's heart skip a beat when trudging through the hellish underworld of Hollywood's underbelly. The dramatic depiction of an intense awakening process, along with the guidebook Augury by the same author, may be invaluable tools to those yet to embark on their journey, and priceless to those who've already crossed the first threshold. With lights at both ends of the tunnel, this unique perspective brightens the ancient path for anyone who wanders into the spirit realm. No hero's journey is complete without the ultimate boon, and Duke's gifts to humanity possess transformative potential for peace and purpose, both for society at large, and individual spiritual seekers.
