"The
golden thread that runs through Catherine Ingrams excellent book
is the possibility of immediate awakening. Her writing clearly flows out
of her own realization, rather than just an intellectual understanding
of spiritual truth. If you are willing for suffering to come to an end,
the act of reading her words can become an awakening."
Eckhart Tolle, Author of The Power of Now
"This
book helps us remember the radiant depth inside us, the true wealth, the
soul. Catherine Ingram has done beautiful work here."

"Wow!
Catherine Ingram is a modern day mystical poet. Her insights on divine
living are at once scientific and poetic, rooted and lyrical, simple and
profound. It is as if all of the burning questions in our collective hearts
reached God's ears and Catherine Ingram was the reply. She makes living
and aliveness look so easy. Her wisdom and clarity are matched only by
her eloquence and dearness. Move over Rumi and Hafiz, there's a new kid
in town."
Moon Unit Zappa, actress, author of America the
Beautiful
"Catherine
speaks gracefully and insistently of the simple, present, and yet totally

real fulfillment is."

That

Falling Apart
