Dear Reader

Ther­apy can give us effec­tive “cop­ing” strate­gies and med­ica­tions can min­i­mize the agony of depres­sion. But there is only one endur­ing approach to end­ing psy­cho­log­i­cal suf­fer­ing and that is to dis­cover the per­son you really are in this moment and to wake up from the per­son you “think” you are. How to see this cathar­tic truth is the whole pur­pose of my book and this blog.

Read­ers will dis­cover that nearly every­thing they believed about them­selves is a Lie. Don’t take my word for it. See what read­ers have said about Lib­er­a­tion by click­ing here.

You will dis­cover that all of us have been inval­i­dated. Lib­er­a­tion makes this crys­tal clear to see and under­stand. This inval­i­da­tion trauma is our Wound. Every­thing we have done in response to this Wound sus­tains a false self.

Free­dom from suf­fer­ing means lib­er­a­tion from the cease­less demands of the wounded false-self. It is the absolute end of seek­ing. Believe noth­ing! The only endur­ing dis­cov­ery is that which is real.

Lib­er­a­tion from the Lie is based on the author’s own awak­en­ing and is enriched by his immer­sion in Zen Bud­dhism and many years work­ing with tra­di­tional heal­ers on the Navajo Nation.

No book com­bines the power to trans­form that these two tra­di­tions offer in a sin­gle, com­pre­hen­sive vision.

It is the Wound of inval­i­da­tion that cre­ates the false-self. But we cover this Wound with many masks, which are called our Fear-Selves. Con­ven­tional ther­apy merely pro­vides us with a bet­ter mask. But we all know, in our hearts, masks don’t heal, they can only cover. Heal­ing is an uncov­er­ing … a bring­ing light to all the places we have feared to investigate.

Heal­ing hap­pens when the Wound and its Fear-Selves are seen in the every­day events of our life. Then the process of dis-identification begins. Until we see the dance of the Wound and our many masks, no sus­tain­able heal­ing is possible.

The book is the man­ual, while the Lib­er­a­tion Blog pro­vides many read­ings to aid, sup­port, and sus­tain self-understanding.

Know that noth­ing accel­er­ates the heal­ing process bet­ter than per­sonal con­sul­ta­tions.
