Paradise and Promises | Free Book
Chronicles of My Life with a Self-Declared, Modern-Day Buddha
Marlowe Sand recollects 15 years of relentless pursuit of liberation
as a student of guru, Andrew Cohen. For a woman from the remote
English countryside destined to be a wife, mother and ordinary
professional, the meeting with a modern-day, radical Buddha bore
extreme consequences for her and her children. She develops her story
in intriguingly deft strokes, capturing the interior experiences of a
person being drawn ever deeper into the cult setting of a charismatic
and despotic guru. She invites the reader to share her experiences of
love and liberation, pain and agony and excruciating disillusionment.
Marlowe Sand doesn’t blame, instead she paints a picture of a complex,
dangerous phenomena. While she is unambiguous about the destructive
nature of this communal setting and each participants’ responsibility
for its co-creation, Marlowe’s reckoning is with herself. Paradise and
Promises is a spiritual memoir by coincidence but more importantly it
is an audacious self-reflection on choices, consequences and
reconciliation. Almost anyone will find this stark “coming of age”
narrative compelling.
