She’s career driven and absolutely married to her job, though it’s no matter—her situation seems to be going fine for her. She has no complaints, but maybe she just doesn’t know what she’s missing out on. No less, in the hope of finding some much needed time away from work, she decides to take a weekend trip to nearby Las Vegas. On the flight out from Los Angeles, Jennifer finds herself sitting next to an indomitably handsome man—Thomas. She can’t help but drift off into reveries about him, even though she doesn’t even know his name yet. Jennifer believes that’s as far as things will go, but to her surprise, she finds herself engaged in a friendly chat with Thomas that quickly leads to a dinner invitation out on the Vegas strip, which, of course, leads to much more. The feelings of attraction are mutual and neither has any intention of playing coy. As the weekend draws to a close, Jennifer finds herself comforted by the fact that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. But will Jennifer’s weekend fling simmer over into much more? Will Thomas’ skills in the bedroom leave Jennifer hooked on, and even a little tied up, by what he has to offer? And is it true that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?

Download or read book Collision with the Infinite written by Suzanne Segal and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of this spiritual classic with a preface by Stephan Bodian, friend of the late author and the original editor of Collision with the Infinite. Stephan writes: "Since the book first appeared in 1996, spiritual awakening and the nondual perspective it reveals have become increasingly popular among seekers who realize the limitations of progressive practices and want more immediate access to the limitless openness and freedom of their essential nature. At the same time, a number of teachers have emerged who point directly to this truth and invite their students to inquire into their experience, rest in awareness, and realize the truth for themselves. Long before these resources were readily available, Suzanne had a powerful awakening that completely obliterated the illusion of a separate self. But in 1982 she could find no one to guide her through the process, and as a result she spent years in fear, wandering from therapist to therapist, desperately trying to cure herself of being no one, because no one in her world knew what to make of her experience. After a dozen years in the wilderness of what she describes as a spiritual wintertime, she emerged into the radiant springtime of full nondual realization. Because she awoke without a teacher or tradition, and her understanding was so complete, her detailed descriptions of how the vastness functions through these body-minds to realize itself in form are original, and fresh from their source. I'm thrilled to have this spiritual classic back in print, after years of languishing in obscurity. Now I can begin recommending it to my students once again and share with them the clarity of her vision. As I say in the afterword, Suzanne never pretended to be a teacher, preferring instead to call herself a describer of what it's like to live as the vastness. In this profound and articulate memoir, she chronicles her journey, and in the process transmits the wisdom that revealed itself to her." Editorial reviews "Collision with the Infinite is like a diamond on fire with living spirit, and a testament to the strange and wonderful ways that spiritual awakening can unpredictably burst forth in any one of us at any time. Read this book as what it has always been, a modern-day revelation of how spiritual presence came alive in one extraordinarily ordinary woman, and how she embodied it like the sky embodies a shooting star." -Adyashanti "A fascinating, deeply moving account of a powerful spiritual opening and the ensuing process of understanding and integration. The book dispels some of our most cherished myths about spiritual awakening-especially that it is a blissful and easy process. Awakening is not the end of the path, but the beginning of a sometimes difficult journey." -Steve Taylor Ph.D., author of The Leap: The Psychology of Spiritual Awakening
