ABOUT THE BOOK
An Invitation to Radical Aliveness
The Black Butterfly is an invitation to fundamental creativity, to essential change, not merely of our ideas, but of the very basis of our lives. This seminal work calls us to a radical aliveness, to the very edge of awareness and a breathtaking vision of the potential of our humanity.
Richard Moss writes of his own powerful, beautiful, and totally spontaneous awakening experience and how he struggled to understand it and, through it, begin the process of living a life of radical aliveness. In the book he shares his awakened understandings and the experiences of some of his patients and members of his early groups.
Those who have attended Richard’s retreats and Satsangs know that his teaching lives not only in the words, but in the Presence and vibration of his voice. This audiobook captures what many have called a “transfer of energy,” allowing the wisdom of The Black Butterfly to be received as a direct transmission, wherever you are.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
RICHARD MOSS M.D.
In 1977 Richard Moss was a practicing physician when he experienced a spontaneous state of illumination that irreversibly changed his life and profoundly transformed his understanding of our human condition.
With this opening came a new level of sensibility, including a heightened intuition, subtle insight into mystical and spiritual teachings, the ability to sense shifts of attention in others, and a comprehensive kind of intelligence that integrates and brings coherence to many seemingly disparate aspects of the human condition.
His teaching draws from a broad range of approaches to human understanding both Western and Eastern, and he has the special gift of being able to communicate the foundational insights of these diverse traditions in a contemporary and ever-fresh way.

Mind Blowing
I can’t find the right words to describe the changes that are taking place within me as a result of reading this book. I think anyone who would be interested in reading this book understands that words are often very limiting when attempting to describe spiritual experiences, and the author does an amazing job of articulating what most of us cannot articulate. Every time I pick up this book, even if I only read a paragraph, I find a new gem that shifts my perception even more. If you are searching, this book will help you.

Water in the Desert
For anyone who has wandered out beyond the usual borders of psychology and religion, Richard Moss’s work is a pure gift, an oasis, and a place to heal. Despite his extraordinary experiences and profound realization, he is straightforward, unpretentious, and lucid. Better than anyone I know, he brings the transcendent truth into incarnate ordinariness, with humility, humor, and the grace of compassion. I have found his works, particularly this one, to be friends on the path—friends I keep going back to time and again. I cannot recommend his work highly enough to those on the journey of consciousness.

The Reality Affirmations Forgot
I read the Black Butterfly years ago. I have metaphysical leanings but feel that a lot of the New Age/New Thought movement is bogus information and pseudo spirituality. Richard Moss does a great job delineating the states of spirituality that are deeper (and quite often painful) than what the “feel good spin doctors” would ever discuss. This isn’t an easy read because it will take you places emotionally that may be triggering. Yet, Richard Moss’ work is profound and cutting edge. It will change your life.
