あらすじ・解説
“Like a child who receives a gift, but plays with only the box, we possessed sobriety the entire time and did not know it.” (v17, Buddy C.)
For many in recovery, traditional views of a Higher Power do not resonate. This dissonance left author Buddy C. feeling hopeless. As a result, Buddy entered a cycle of recovery and relapse for more than six years.
If you are reading this, you or someone you love is probably dealing with a life-controlling addiction, even though they have tried to break free. Buddy wrestled with the same dilemma.
Buddy tried the 12-step recovery process but found surrendering to a “power greater than ourselves” undefinable and even unattainable. Others shared his challenge of finding a “God of our understanding” as well. Like himself, they were sincere people searching for relief but did not fit within the common solution of AA.
Searching the world’s religions for answers, Buddy discovered a healing way of life that connected with his needs. The revealed Taoist philosophies were not only close to other principles he had learned in recovery, but resonated with his experience growing up as a Christian attending church in the south.
The Tao Te Ching, by Lao Tzu, opened a path to his recovery that traditional methods had not been able to do. Once Buddy utilized these principles, he discovered that when applied daily, Taoism also opened a path that healed other aspects of his life.
What is this pathway? Who is Lao Tzu? How does Taoist philosophy describe a higher power? Find all these answers and more in this book.
