From Onions to Pearls: A Journal of Awakening and Deliverance

By Satyam Nadeen

Book Overview

This is the true story of one man's spiritual awakening, without a guru and under severely restrictive conditions... In March of 1992, Michael Clegg entered prison, convicted of manufacturing an illegal drug. While there, he realized that a lifetime of spiritual searching had brought him no closer to the elusive state he was seeking. In surrender, he was overwhelmed by relief and bliss. The next several years were spent in a deepening process he calls the "deliverance", as layers of preconditioned ego personality were peeled away to reveal the eternal Pearl of Consciousness. He left prison with a new name, Satyam Nadeen, and a new life!

Customer Reviews

Words can not describe the magnificence of this book.

A stunning, truthful book on awakening.

Stunning and transformational clarity

From Onions to Pearls is the last spirtitual/consciousness/self-help book you will ever need. Finally somebody who can not only translate the Eastern to the Western, but actually improve the clarity and insightfulness of it all. There is no doubt that this book will change many lives...and that's a tall order for the tool of print! Satyam Nadeen is THERE (here).

A "wake up call" delivered simply and with clarity.

Nadeen's telling of his experience of awakening to freedom makes it seem attainable to all seekers. The simplicity of the message and the number of times and ways he reinforces that "Consciousness is all there is" has impacted me and the many people with whom I have shared this book profoundly. If you are searching for truth read this book. The process of peeling the layers of the onion will surely be accelerated in the process. PS. I am confused by the negative first review...I can't imagine what kind of onions that reviewer expected...it seems we read two different books.

Everyone on the path a must read and your last book.....

This book was in my library and I did not know how it got there but when I started to read it it was the words that made more sense to me than anything I have ever in my quest read...clear and consise and it's perfection to ears of understanding ...I GOT IT...I Got It... Thank you making it so understandable you are there and so am i...

Hold the onions!

If you are stranded on a desert island this is the only book you will ever need. For folks who are into reading metaphysical stuff, and still feel as if they are not "getting it", read this. Based on the tenets of the Tao te Ching, the author writes in a folksy tone complete with prison slang. He is well versed in many disiciplines and admits that the rest is hooey. He has got it and I hope it is contagious, If you only read one book this summer make it this one.
