Written by Wayne Liquorman with characteristic humor, irreverence, and profound insight, this audiobook provides a bold new look at the nature of existence. If one wants to remain in the moment, what does one do about the mind? Never mind! The mind does what the mind does. It is working and functioning perfectly, doing exactly what it has been designed and programmed to do. The audiobook hammers away at the basic misconceptions that bring about human suffering - I could have and should have done it differently, I am flawed, I am the author of my thoughts, feelings, and actions.

We suffer from the most insidious kind of addiction - one we don't even realize we have. It is the addiction to power itself. Both the Twelve Steps of recovery and the ancient teaching of Advaita reveal that powerlessness is the secret to genuine strength.

Yet, lasting peace is the miracle The Way of Powerlessness makes possible.

Finally, a book has come along that may help to dispel some of the more persistent myths surrounding Enlightenment and Enlightened people!

A new look at Advaita through the eyes of the most unlikely of sages - Wayne Liquorman. Wayne is a former alcoholic and drug addict who shortly after being “struck sober” began a spiritual quest that led him to his guru, Ramesh Balsekar, and then to Ultimate Understanding. Wayne’s expression of his spiritual understanding is at once irreverent and profound. We laugh sometimes joyously, sometimes uncomfortably, but always with the recognition that we are in the presence of a master. Edited from talks at Wayne’s house by Catherine Asche.

The 97 free-verse poems in No Way are incredibly funny, but for seekers they may also seem paradoxical, heretical, penetrating, and insightful. If you’re lucky, you’ll recognize yourself in its words–it’s good to see when you’ve been taking yourself a little too seriously. One minute you’ll howl with laughter at people's pretenses, and the next you’ll squirm self-consciously as Ram Tzu gleefully points out that you, like the fabled emperor, also wear no clothes.
