Jim Alstott

Jim Alstott’s spiritual awakening didn’t happen on a mountaintop in Nepal; it happened on a Florida beach at nearly 400 pounds, exhausted, broken, and ready to give up. That night, a voice that wasn’t quite his own told him things would change. And they did. Blending irreverent humor with profound spiritual inquiry, Did I Just Have a Spiritual Awakening, or Was it Something I Ate? traces one man’s magical, mystical journey through Dolores Cannon’s twelve stages of awakening, with each chapter anchored by the song that defined it. From seeing his deceased great-grandfather at age four to receiving prophetic dreams that saved his son’s life, Jim chronicles fifty-nine years of experiences that defy explanation with raw honesty and occasional profanity.
