Overview

In Direct Connection: Transformation of Consciousness, Dr. Judith Miller integrates her acquired knowledge and understanding of the mystical into an innovative therapeutic approach that redefines the concepts of mental health and mental illness. This provocative text relates the intimate story of the author's search for meaning in her own life that led to her exciting breakthrough in the treatment of mental illness. Dr. Miller challenges the medical establishment to re-examine the way in which it perceives human nature. Is a schizophrenic religious delusion a symptom of a disease, or an actual spiritual experience? Dr. Miller encourages us to be open to all possibilities in this illuminating and dynamic book.

What People are Saying About This

Rhea White

Judith Miller provides a direct explication of the world-changing concept that it is the very experiences that psychiatry has labeled 'crazy' that serve as the ground of a person's life and being: body, mind and spirit. Read this book and weep…with joy and gratitude for Judith Miller, who reveals what must be the bedrock of human consciousness in the coming millennium if we and our planet are to survive.
—(Rhea White, founder and director of The Exceptional Human Experience Network and editor of the 'Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research' and 'The Exceptional Human Experience Journal')

Joseph H. Irwin

For time immemorial, human being have experienced reality in a variety of forms-some common and some not so common. Mystics have known this for centuries and quantum physicists are discovering it today. In spite of our most sacred institutions' reluctance to acknowledge this fact, a lone voice is occasionally heard calling us to a fuller and more realistic understanding human nature. Dr. Miller has done this superbly in her book. Not only is her work academically credibly and spiritually insightful, it is a real 'page-turner' which I found difficult to put down. It is my hope that this book will inspire even more practitioners in the fields of science, psychotherapy and religion to take seriously the full range of human experience. Who knows: one day we may discover that the spiritual journey is, in fact, the 'journey of life'-if we but have the eyes to see it.
—(Rev. Joseph H. Irwin, Jr., pastor, St. Paul's United Church of Christ, Fort Washington, PA)

Charles Whitfield

In writing about her vast experience as a practicing psychologist, teacher and explorer, Dr. Miller has expanded the boundaries of this often enigmatic and confusing field. She has also expanded our view of who we think we are. A brilliant, thoughtful and heartfelt book on the spiritual nature of the mind.
—( Charles Whitfield, M.D., author of Healing the Child Within: Discovery & Recovery for Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families)

Yvonne Kason

Dr. Judith Miller displays exceptional courage and vision as a traditionally trained clinical psychologist, in sharing this evocative and thought-provoking story of the spiritually transformative experiences which have highlighted her and her clients' lives. This open sharing of her personal journey along the Mystical Path is an inspiration to readers and challenges them to expand their own view of reality to include the possibility of every person's potential for experiences of direct connection to the Higher Power. Well done!
—(Yvonne Kason, M.D., author of A Farther Shore: How Near-Death and Other Extraordinary Experiences Can Change Ordinary Lives)

Ingo Jahrsetz

This is what psychotherapy at the brink of a new millennium needs: an engaged and radical reflection on the relationship between psychology and spirituality. Dr. Judith Miller integrates within her book the story of her own psycho-spiritual opening and the transformative potential arising out of her psychotherapeutic work with others. This book is an important contribution to the fields of mental health and consciousness research. It is a gift with the potential to engage peace and joy within the global mind.
—(Ingo Jahrsetz, Ph.D., director of the School of Transpersonal Psychology and Psychotherapy, Frieberg, Germany)
