内容紹介
Her most controversial book is one you will never forget. An outspoken thinker, a celebrated actress, a truly independent woman, Shirley MacLaine goes beyond her previous two bestsellers to take us on an intimate yet powerful journey into her personal life and inner self. An intense, clandestine love affair with a prominent politician sparks Shirley MacLaine's quest of self-discovery. From Stockholm to Hawaii to the mountain vastness of Peru, from disbelief to radiant affirmation, she at last discovers the roots of her very existence. . . and the infinite possibilities of life. Shirley MacLaine opens her heart to explore the meaning of a great and enduring passion with her lover Gerry; the mystery of her soul's connection with her best friend David; the tantalizing secrets behind a great actor's inspiration with the late Peter Sellers. And through it all, Shirley MacLaine's courage and candor new doors, new insights, new revelations-and a luminous new world she invites us all to share.

シャーリー・マクレーンが妻子持ちのイギリス人政治家と浮気して悶々するうちに前世のカルマとかチャンネリングとかUFOとかとか、様々なニューエイジ系の事々に目覚め、それ系の読書をするようになってペルーに行ったりなんかして、精神世界に没頭していく、という話。世界的なベストセラー本になり、偉大なキャリアに全く相応しくない陳腐なTV映画にまでなり、しかもご本人がご本人を演じるという展開まであった。
一昨年、娘のサチ嬢が母親の育児放棄に関する暴露本を書いて話題になったのをご存知の方もいるだろう。シャーリー・マクレーンがサチ嬢に向かってお前の父親は実はナントカ星雲から来た異星人のクローンだとか本気で言っているらしいとか。本書はかなり昔に読んだ一冊だが、育児放棄もサチ嬢の異星人父の話も、コレを読んでいたいたせいで「あ、やっぱり」とすぐに納得がいった。
広大な枠組み、壮大なドラマ、巨大な因果劇に引き寄せられる極端なお方だと感じる。自分にしか興味がない女性が一番身近な人間関係を飛び越えてコズミックレベルの問題に夢中になる。最も身近なはずの人間に対しては愛情も責任も大して感じない人間が地球や人類の心配はする。よくある話のような。そしてそういう人物がエネルギッシュなエゴイストで教祖的魅力がある場合がある、というのもよくある話のような。
私はスピリチュアル系の話を読むと大抵スピリチュアルとは真逆な気分になる。どうしようもなく人間臭いストーリーテリングだと感じる。同時に、そういう神話形成が我々にはどうあっても必要で、どうしようもなく魅力的なのだとも痛感するのだが。
ちなみに本書に登場する浮気相手の「イギリス人政治家」というのは1986年に暗殺されたスウェーデン元首相のオロフ・パルメ氏のことである。あの暗殺事件の真相はいまだに謎のようだが、チャンネリングで真相を解明して欲しい。

I loved the book and the movie. Shirley has courage. I would also recommend the book An Encounter With A Prophet for another author with courage.

Just great
2004/8/9
By Catherine Gallanti

形式:ペーパーバック
This is one of those books that is so good that, when you finish it, you feel sad. Because you know you will be hard pressed to find a better one to follow. However Shirley wrote several books to follow this one, that if even if not as fabulous, are still great...so no need to be too sad: Shirley's adventures continue on.
The book is riveting because it describes in such an entertaining a gripping writing style, full of humour and insight, Shirley's exciting adventure of spiritual awakening. It is an autobiographic book of a very small but intense time of Shirley's life, in which, as many who have had an awakening will be able to relate to, life becomes brilliantly alive, full of synchronicities and magic. Shirley is lead from book, to teacher, to channel, to places across the globe as she follows the promtings of spirit that lead her to glimpse and explore realities that break down her previous belief structure about the world. And as she travels and learns, a completely new way of viewing life emerges for her- and a completely new Shirley!
Spiritual insights aside, just the way in which this book is written is superb - Shirley has a real gift for bringing to life her experiences on the page and the book reads as an exilarating adventure novel. I loved it and re-read it occasionally when i want to recapture that feeling.
If you like metaphysics and new age writings, this book is quite a gem and well worth reading. You will cerish it, you will love it and probably read it again and again.

Surprising on many levels
1999/12/9

形式:ペーパーバック
This might sound condescending, but this compelling account of the actress' spiritual journey is surprisingly well written. Shirley MacLaine is not just a Hollywood dancer turned New Age guru; she's a bestselling author who knows the craft of writing. What comes across immediately is the earnestness of her message. She's not out to fool her readers. She's also done her research. Each chapter has apt quotations from great thinkers about the nature of life as they saw it. There are a lot of sentences that begin with the word "Maybe," as in "Maybe the ancient thinkers had it right." Nevertheless she rightly states that what we call history is a leap of faith. Readers will have to make their own judgments about the credulity of the author, but MacLaine's testament shows us that everyone has to draw their own lines about personal beliefs based on experience, reading, and reasoning. But above all, experience. And she documents this process spendidly. She does not come off as an unreasonable "kook." On the contrary, she herself is skeptical at first and admits that the very ideas she later accepts seem "preposterous." It is this intelligence and skepticism which makes this book hard to dismiss as simply New Age pap. The chapter about Peter Sellers is genuinely moving.
