Product Description
Winner of a 2010 Independent Publisher Award for Humor! One part deeply personal memoir and two parts rip-snorting spiritual adventure, Long Time No See is a powerfully moving, occasionally profane, and often hilarious account of one person's single-minded search for enlightenment. Carrie Triffet's true-life journey takes her from reluctant orthodox Jewish beginnings into a devout twenty-year practice of Nichiren Buddhism. Intending to remain a Buddhist for life, she is wholly unprepared when a profound awakening in 2005 unexpectedly changes everything, leading her insistently into a life beyond religion. Join her on this odyssey that begins in the Midwest and travels to sunny Southern California by way of London, Paris, and the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona. Learn the metaphysical lessons offered by a swanky Vegas hotel room, a past life crime scene, and a ferocious lightning storm at 30,000 feet (among many others), as Carrie relays the messages of universal truth that she is given to share with us all.

Messages are delivered in many ways!, Jan 15 2010
By A Believer "Claudia" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Long Time No See: Diaries of an Unlikely Messenger (Paperback)
I was inspired, comforted and yet amazed at the reminder of how the universe offers us everything we want and need, if we just open ourselves to the possiblities. The way Carrie interprets the messages and the Course of Miracles has left me to believe that the answer is out there, if we just listen. Her writing is informative, fun and VERY entertaining!! A MUST read!

A story of spiritual discovery, Jan 15 2010
By S. R. Wood - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Long Time No See: Diaries of an Unlikely Messenger (Paperback)
A highly entertaining true story of spiritual discovery, moving beyond orthodox religion and applying the principles of A Course In Miracles into every day life. It illustrates through the real life events of the author and her direct communication with Spirit, challenging spiritual principles using ordinary language (with the occasional swear word!) in an easy to comprehend way. Told with great humour, it is often surprising, very thought provoking, and I really wanted to know what happened next!Rather than being a spiritual 'how-to' book from one who has already achieved enlightenment, this is an account of regular person following her spiritual path and I was easily able to identify with many of the feelings and emotions she went through. This was tremendously helpful as I have found many spiritual books to be so far removed from 'my' reality that what they describe can be hard to identify with.
The book also contains The Crash Course, a concise explanation of the main principles of A Course in Miracles, again written in clear every day language. Recommended!

Carrie Triffet Hits Home.., Jan 22 2010
By Kimbeth Mcdermott - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Long Time No See: Diaries of an Unlikely Messenger (Paperback)
I know that personally, I am growing weary of preachy enlightenment books all written by dysfunctional rejects from Guru School whose only true intention is to sell me something I don't need.So thank goodness for "Long Time No See." Carrie takes a remarkable spiritual journey and shares it in such a way that we don't bow down to the great teacher or even think of her as one.
There's more insight in this book than many of the others out there that promise something real. Carrie makes no promises, she just tells it like it was. And what a delightful, irreverent and deeply meaningful read it is.
Don't miss it.
Kim
