The first book in which people discuss their own spiritual emergencies and share what helped them through. Our authors are the experts of their own experience, and they share their wild journeys with courage, insight and poetry. There are fascinating parallels in their experiences, suggesting minds in extremis go to similar places. These are beautiful postcards from the edge of human consciousness, testaments to the soul’s natural resilience. Our authors have returned from their descent with valuable insights for our culture, as we go through a collective spiritual emergency, with old myths and structures breaking down, and new possibilities breaking open. What is there beyond our present egocentric model of reality? What tools can help us navigate the emergence?



"This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the connection between spiritual awakening and what we normally term 'mental illness.' It is full of inspirational and moving stories that show that psychological disturbances often lead to significant personal growth, if supported properly. As a culture, we urgently need a new paradigm of mental illness and treatment, and this and this book makes an important contribution to that shift.'

Spiritual emergencies are moments of messy awakening, crises of ego dissolution and rebirth that are often misunderstood and unskillfully managed by materialist psychiatry. As more Westerners meditate and are drawn to psychedelics to foster their psycho-spiritual growth, mystical experiences are becoming more common--yet some of them will be disturbing and difficult. There is an urgent need for our culture to upgrade its understanding of what these experiences are like and what helps people through the turbulence. Breaking Open is the first book in which people discuss their own spiritual emergencies and share what helped them through. The contributors are the experts of their own experience, and they share their wild journeys with courage, insight, and poetry. There are fascinating parallels in their experiences, suggesting minds in extremis go to similar places. These are beautiful postcards from the edge of human consciousness, testaments to the soul's natural resilience. These people have returned from their descent with valuable insights for our culture, as we go through a collective spiritual emergency, with old myths and structures breaking down, and new possibilities breaking open. What is there beyond our present egocentric model of reality? What tools can help us navigate the emergence?

3.0 out of 5 stars could be called how the other half suffer
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2021

An interesting book about how very well resourced people manage suffering - let me tell you its nothing like the shocking, pathalogising, dangerous nonsense encapsulated in the medical model that most have little choice in let alone any informed consent.

In fact these well resourced people are able to float above the ordinary barbarism of modern services and consider themselves to be having a 'spiritual emergency' none of your pseudo medical sounding 'disorders' or 'treatment' for 'symptoms' here.

Here people have resources of relative wealth, good relationships, travel, meaning, purpose, an ability to explore an expansive melting pot of possible solutions - not the five minutes with the stressed out GP labelled depressed and handed a prescription for the brain damaging but highly profitable drugs marketed as 'anti depressants' or being referred to IAPT - a relative production line of nonsense where 'recovery' means how you score on a tick box questionnaire. And god forbid you ever end up in secondary care - there the medical model is completely out of control.

Taken together our mental health systems for 'normal' people are casing more harm to both the people they are tasked to work with and to the people that work within them - with massive and relentless stress - such a happy state of affairs but great for maintaining power and internalising suffering - nothing to see in the culture - move along now - no cultural disorders here its all about you and your dysfunctional thoughts, behaviours, beliefs and attitudes - just keep taking the drugs and make sure you do your homework.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such an important topic, such well written first-person experience chapters
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2020

So far I've read 3 of the contributors' chapters and the editors' material. This covers such an important topic, building on the Stanislav & Christina Groff "Spiritual Emergency" classic. What this adds, is case studies written up by folks who have been through spiritual emergencies, with harrowing honesty about the often psychotic stages these took them through. It is common to find short accounts of such experience in anthologies, or accounts written up third party. What this book adds is it gives percipients the space to expand and reflect on their experiences at their own pace and in their own words.

Whether you consider that spiritual experience constitutes evidence for the spiritual or not - (or whether you believe material experience constitutes evidence for the material or not) - this book is an important and original contribution to the contemporary literature on transpersonal psychology and applied religious studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brave and rich in anecdote.

"Breaking Open" is a collection of the accounts of fourteen individuals' Spiritual Emergencies. It is topped and tailed by a sensitive and intelligent commentary by editors the philosopher Jules Evans and psychiatrist Tim Read. Despite describing their own sample pool as being restricted by their white, middle-class and culturally-literate backgrounds there is a tremendous amount of variety in the subjects' experiences. This is not an especially privileged grouping and to dismiss it is as such is a knee-jerk criticism [Disclaimer - I do not personally know any of them.]

Just as it would be meeting a crowd of new people, there are some characters who are more appealing to one than others. I particularly liked the accounts of nightclub-visionary Deborah Martin and the mysterious Rob Charles who movingly describes a childhood locked in fears over how he smelt. It is brave of Jules Evans to add his own account to the fray; he strikes just the right chord of solidarity. Evans' description of the aftermath of an Ayahuasca trip is mercifully less disturbed than others (which can be hair-raising) but contributes to the impression that, despite what the cheerleaders would have us believe, psychedelics fracture the ego in ways which are broadly unhelpful.

However, rather than individual accounts it is the general impression of the collective voice which matters. The phenomenon of the nervous breakdown inflected by spiritual overtones, or conversely the religious experience with a traumatic dimension, is glimpsed as though from many perspectives ranged around a craggy peak. The book is an extremely useful contribution to the steadily-swelling intellectual literature (as opposed to that which sets off on a superstitious footing) which examines this fascinating topic. It is a topic which demands our urgent attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Losing mind, finding soul
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 May 2021

My sincere thanks to Tim Read and Jules Evans together with those who shared their most powerful transformative experiences through the journey of awakening. This book is much needed at a time when millions are personally and collectively experiencing spiritual crisis in a variety of different forms. For those who need to know they are not alone, not becoming insane but travelling a journey into losing their 'mind' and finding their soul, it offers guidance and resources whereby we may continue our journeys towards wholeness with insight, the right support and understanding from others who have been where we are, 'worn the t-shirt' and have 'come out the other end'!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2020

This book is life affirming and even life changing, especially to the reader who has been through a spiritual emergency themselves. Jules himself has a poetic yet warm and open style, and I am now addicted to his weekly newsletters (which you can sign up for on his website). But each of the stories has a resonance that transcends normal literature on this topic and opens your mind to the great vastness of consciousness in all its various manifestations. I would recommend this book to anyone, even if new to the topic. I believe you will come away enlightened and also moved by what you read.

할레드 호세이니(페르시아어خالد حسینی, Khaled Hosseini, 1965년 3월 4일 ~ )는 아프가니스탄 출신의 미국 작가이다.

생애[편집]

호세이니는 아프가니스탄 카불에서 외교관 아버지와 고등학교 선생님인 어머니의 아들로 태어났다. 1970년에 그와 그의 가족은 아프가니스탄 대사로 일하는 아버지를 따라 이란의 테헤란으로 이주하였다가 1973년 다시 카불로 돌아온다. 1976년에는 파리로 이동하였다가 마침내 1980년 가족과 함께 미국으로 정치적 망명을 한다. 1984년 캘리포니아 산호세 고등학교를 졸업하고 샌디에이고에서 의학을 전공하였고, 1996년 로스엔젤레스의 시더사이나이 메디컬 센터 내과 레지던트 과정을 마쳤다.

의대 졸업 후, 캘리포니아에서 의사로 활동하는 틈틈이 소설을 써, 2003년 첫 소설 《연을 쫓는 아이》를 발표하면서 데뷔하였다. 그의 작품은 '퍼블리셔스 위클리'가 매년 미국에서 가장 영향력 있는 문학작품에 수여하는 푸시카트 상 후보에 오르기도 했다.

2007년 5월, 두 번째 소설 《천 개의 찬란한 태양》(A Thousand Splendid Suns)을 출간했다. 소련 침공, 군벌들 간의 내전, 탈레반 정권, 그리고 미국과의 전쟁 등 아프가니스탄의 비극적인 현대사와 그 전란의 소용돌이 속에 남겨진 여자들의 이야기를 그린 이 소설은 출간 전 예약판매를 시작하면서부터 아마존닷컴 종합 베스트 1위를 차지하며 큰 화제를 불러 일으켰다.

자신이 쓴 아프가니스탄에 관한 이야기에 많은 책임감을 느낀다는 호세이니는 독자들에게 그처럼 비참한 처지에 놓인 아프가니스탄 여성들에게 많은 관심을 가져줄 것을 당부하고 있으며, 현재 난민들을 돕기 위한 UN 전문기구인 UN Refugee Agency - UNHCR에서 활동중이다.

연을 쫓는 아이는 2007년 영화로 개봉됐다. 사진은 연을 쫓는 아이의 출연배우 바흐람과 Elham Ehsas와 함께 서 있는 호세이니.

Khaled Hosseini (Persianخالد حسینی‎ [ˈxɒled hoˈsejni]/ˈhɑːlɛd hˈsni/; born 4 March 1965) is an Afghan-American novelist and UNHCR goodwill ambassador.[1][2] His debut novel The Kite Runner (2003) was a critical and commercial success; the book, as well as his subsequent novels, have all been at least partially set in Afghanistan and has featured an Afghan as the protagonist.

Born in Kabul, Afghanistan, to a diplomat father, Hosseini spent some time living in Iran and France. When Hosseini was 15, his family applied for asylum in the United States, where he later became a naturalized citizen. Hosseini did not return to Afghanistan until 2003[3] when he was 38, an experience similar to that of the protagonist in The Kite Runner. In later interviews, Hosseini admitted to feeling survivor's guilt for having been able to leave the country prior to the Soviet invasion and subsequent wars.

After graduating from college, Hosseini worked as a physician in California, a situation he likened to "an arranged marriage".[4] The success of The Kite Runner meant he was able to retire from medicine in order to write full-time. His three novels have all reached various levels of critical and commercial success.[5] The Kite Runner spent 101 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list, including three weeks at number one.[6] His second novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns (2007), spent 103 weeks on the chart, including 15 at number one[7][8] while his third novel, And the Mountains Echoed (2013), remained on the chart for 33 weeks.[9][10] In addition to writing, Hosseini has advocated for refugees, including establishing with the UNHCR the Khaled Hosseini Foundation to support Afghan refugees returning to Afghanistan.[11]

Early life and education[edit source]

Early life[edit source]

Hosseini was born on March 4, 1965 in Kabul, Afghanistan, the eldest of five children.[12] His father, Nasser, worked as a diplomat for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kabul while his mother worked as a Persian language teacher at a girls' high school; both originate from Herat.[12] Regarding his ethnicity, Hosseini stated, "I'm not pure anything. There's a Pashtun part of me, a Tajik part of me."[13] His mother's family is believed to be from the Mohammadzai tribe of Pashtuns.[14] Hosseini describes his upbringing as privileged. He spent eight years of his childhood in the upper class Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood in Kabul.[12][13][15] Hosseini does not recall his sister, Raya, ever suffering discrimination for being a female,[15] and he remembers Kabul as "a growing, thriving, cosmopolitan city", where he regularly flew kites with his cousins.[16]

In 1970, Hosseini and his family moved to Iran where his father worked for the Embassy of Afghanistan in Tehran. In 1973, Hosseini's family returned to Kabul, and Hosseini's youngest brother was born in July of that year. In 1976, when Hosseini was 11 years old, his father secured a job in Paris, France, and moved the family there.[17] They were unable to return to Afghanistan because of the April 1978 Saur Revolution in which the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) seized power. In 1980, shortly after the start of the Soviet–Afghan War, they sought political asylum in the United States and made their residence in San Jose, California. Hosseini, then aged 15, did not speak English when he first arrived in the United States. He describes the experience as "a culture shock" and "very alienating".[17]

Despite their distance from the country's turmoil, the family was aware of the situations faced by a number of their friends and relatives. Hosseini explained:

We had a lot of family and friends in Kabul. And the communist coup, as opposed to the coup that happened in '73, was actually very violent. A lot of people rounded up and executed, a lot of people were imprisoned. Virtually anybody [who] was affiliated or associated with the previous regime or the royal family was persecuted, imprisoned, killed, rounded up, or disappeared. And so we would hear news of friends and acquaintances and occasionally family members to whom that had happened, [who] were either in prison or worse, had just disappeared and nobody knew where they were, and some of them never turned up. My wife's uncle was a very famous singer and composer in Kabul who had been quite vocal about his dislike for the communists and so on, and he disappeared. And to this day, we have no idea what happened to him. So that sort of thing, we began to hear news over in Europe of mass executions and really just horror stories. So it was surreal, and it also really kind of hit home in a very real way.[12]

Education[edit source]

Hosseini graduated from Independence High School in San Jose in 1984 and enrolled at Santa Clara University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in biology in 1988. The following year, he entered the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, where he earned his M.D. in 1993. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles in 1997. He practiced medicine for over ten years, until a year and a half after the release of The Kite Runner.

Career[edit source]

Novels[edit source]

In 2003, Hosseini published his first novel, The Kite Runner, the story of a young boy, Amir, struggling to form a deeper connection with his father and coping with memories of a traumatic childhood event. The novel is set in Afghanistan, from the fall of the monarchy until the collapse of the Taliban regime, as well as in the San Francisco Bay Area, specifically in Fremont, California. The novel was the best selling novel of 2005 in the United States, according to Nielsen BookScan.[18] The Kite Runner was also produced as an audiobook read by the author. The Kite Runner has been adapted into a film of the same name released in December 2007. Hosseini made a cameo appearance towards the end of the movie as a bystander, when Amir buys a kite which he later flies with Sohrab.

Hosseini's second novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, was published in 2007, and is also set in Afghanistan. The story addresses many of the same issues as Hosseini's first book, but from a female perspective. It follows the story of two women, Mariam and Laila, whose lives become entwined when Mariam's husband takes on Laila as a second wife. The story is set during Afghanistan's tumultuous thirty-year transition from Soviet occupation to Taliban control and post-Taliban rebuilding. The novel was released by Riverhead Books on May 22, 2007, at the same time as the Simon & Schuster audiobook. The adaptation rights of the novel were subsequently acquired by producer Scott Rudin and Columbia Pictures.[19]

Hosseini's third novel And the Mountains Echoed was released on May 21, 2013. Prior to its release, Hosseini said:

I am forever drawn to family as a recurring central theme of my writing. My earlier novels were at heart tales of fatherhood and motherhood. My new novel is a multi-generational family story as well, this time revolving around brothers and sisters, and the ways in which they love, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for each other."[20]

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees[edit source]

Hosseini is currently a Goodwill Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).[21] He has been working to provide humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan through the Khaled Hosseini Foundation. The concept for the foundation was inspired by the trip to Afghanistan that Hosseini made in 2007 with UNHCR, with the organisation raising funds to build homes for refugees returning to Afghanistan.[11]

In 2018, Hosseini published an illustrated short story, Sea Prayer, inspired by the death of Alan Kurdi, a three year old refugee who drowned when trying to reach Europe from Syria. Proceeds from sales went to the UNHCR and the Khaled Hosseini Foundation.[11]

Influences[edit source]

As a child, Hosseini read a lot of Persian poetry, especially the works of poets such as RumiOmar KhayyámAbdul-Qādir Bēdil, and Hafez. He has also cited a Persian translation of Jack London's White Fang as a key influence from his youth, in addition to translations of novels including Alice in Wonderland and Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer series.[22][23] He has cited Afghan singer Ahmad Zahir as a key musical influence, choosing the songs "Madar' and "Aye Padesha Khuban" as his two Inheritance Tracks during an appearance on BBC Radio 4's Saturday Live, and naming Zahir as "the Afghan Elvis" and stating his music was "one of the seminal memories of my time in Afghanistan".[24][25][26]

Personal life[edit source]

Hosseini is married to Roya and they have two children, Haris and Farah. The family reside in Northern California. He is fluent in Persian and Pashto, and has described himself as a secular Muslim.[27][28][29]
