Jim Alstott's spiritual awakening didn't happen on a mountaintop in Nepal; it happened on a Florida beach at nearly 400 pounds, exhausted, broken, and ready to give up. That night, a voice that wasn't quite his own told him things would change. And they did.
Blending irreverent humor with profound spiritual inquiry, Did I Just Have a Spiritual Awakening, or Was it Something I Ate? traces one man's magical, mystical journey through Dolores Cannon's twelve stages of awakening, with each chapter anchored by the song that defined it. From seeing his deceased great-grandfather at age four to receiving prophetic dreams that saved his son's life, Jim chronicles fifty-nine years of experiences that defy explanation with raw honesty and occasional profanity.
This isn't your typical spiritual memoir. There are no gurus, no easy answers, and definitely no promise you'll float away on a cloud of enlightenment. Instead, Jim offers something better: permission to trust your own experiences, validation that you're not crazy, and proof that spiritual awakening is messy, uncomfortable, and absolutely worth it.
For readers of Untamed and The Midnight Library who crave authenticity over dogma, this is your permission slip to embrace the beautiful chaos of waking up. Sometimes the most profound spiritual experiences happen when you're too tired to fight them off with logic.
