Beyond Recovery: Nonduality and the Twelve Steps
"THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK.  Fred Davis is steeped in the knowledge of non duality, and this text is marvelously written for those in or out of Twelve Step programs.  Clear, intelligent, well written and lots of fun to read!"~JAMES BRAHA,author, Living Reality: My Extraordinary Summer with 'Sailor' Bob Adamson"BRAVO TO FRED FOR WRITING WITH SUCH CLARITY.I hope 12 steppers reading this review really get the delicious paradox of that and find themselves picking up this book.  Addiction tends to keep us seeking, even if we are seeking recovery.  Fred's book has the ability to really bring the timeless wisdom that freedom is in the here and now into the 12 step movement.  Great book.  I loved it."~SCOTT KILOBY,author, Natural Rest for Addiction: A Revolutionary Way to Recover through Presence."IF THE TRUE MEASURE OF A BOOKis to be found in the perfume that remains behind when all the words have been forgotten then, for Beyond Recovery, it is this quality of honesty, openness and surrender which communicates itself in the words and between them, administering not just to the mind but to the background of Awareness."~RUPERT SPIRAauthor, Presence: The Art of Peace and Happiness"THIS BOOK BY FRED DAVISextends the culture of [Twelve Step Recovery] and contributes to the current shift in Western civilization, which is one from attending to religion, philosophy, art, history, music, and science as pointers to our true nature, to true nature itself. In other words, it is a shift toward attending to attention, or to the one attending, rather than to the creative outcomes of that kind of attention."~JERRY KATZ,editor, One: Essential Writings on Nonduality"THIS IS NOT A BOOK ABOUT RECOVERY.  It is a beautiful, profound book on Nonduality.  I love its simplicity and honesty, its directness, its clarity.  Rather than mere recovery from drugs or alcoholism, this is a great guide of recovery from our addiction to misery, our addiction to patterns of suffering and delusion, in one word, our addiction to the mind and the dreams of separation from Oneness." ~PETRICA VERDES,translator of Ilie Cioara's books
