'You can see absolutely no one in the audience. It is alienatingly black. Then you realize it is all up to you. You are a performer. The long years were worth it. The miraculous magic of expression overrides everything. Once again you realize you are everything you are aware of. You are part of the audience. They are part of you. You and they are one expressing talent. The talent of giving and receiving, of resonating to a greater spirit by means of the body; the talent of souls appreciating one another, creating life on a larger scale. The talent of understanding the shadow awareness that makes us all one, part of a divine perfection which is the essence of sharing. You are dancing with God. You are dancing with yourself. You are dancing in the light."

Mineteen eighty-four was a stunning year for Shirley MacLaine: She won an Oscar for Terms of Endearment, triumphed in a record-breaking one woman show on Broadway, saw her provocative and brilliánt book Out on a Limb become a nationwide bestseller—and she turnéd fifty years old. At this special time, in this special year, she was ready to resume the spiritual journey she had begun in her early forties, an extraordinary personal odyssey that she now courageously shares with us —with a candor and intimacy that bares her innermost self.
It begins with her fabulous fiftieth birthday party, a celebration attended by hundreds of celebrities in a magnificent room of white and crystal. We meet her ciose friends, experience her relationship with her beautiful, vibrant daughter, Sachi, and enter the dazzling world of show business from behind the footlights, guided by one of Americas brightest stars.

But this beginning becomes Shirley MacLaine's doorway to the past. A crisis that nearly takes her mother's life urges her to look at her parents' place in her life and in her heart. Searching for a new understanding, Shirley talks openly of their loving but stormy relationship, her childhood, and her irresistible drive to perform, and what that means emotionally, physically, and artistically.
And she actively looks for answers: Did she know her parents in a past life? Why is she so drawn to the Russian spint and how did she envision, before she ever met him, the handsome young Russian filmmaker who became her lover in one of the most volatile, passionate, and intense experiences of her life? Both Shirley and the Russian artist she calls Vassy felt their feelings stretched back across the centuries, just as they suspected that the fiery liaison that took them from a Paris hideaway to Shirley's Malibu apartment would end dramatically.
With the help of her spiritual guides, Shirley dares to explore her choices, her beliefs, and her conflicts —an exploration that finally leads to sun-drenched Santa Fe for the life-altering experience that provides a stunning new vision of herself, her future and the fate of our world. Vissza
