We suffer from the most insidious kind of addiction
one we don t even realize we have.
It is the addiction to power itself.
The Way of Powerlessness by Wayne Liquorman, brings together the
Living Teaching of Advaita and the 12 Steps of Recovery.
Central to both disciplines is the recognition of our complete
personal powerlessness.
When we recognize personal powerlessness in our own actions, the
twin burdens of pride and guilt vanish. When we recognize
powerlessness in the actions of others, we are freed from the
poisoning effects of resentment and hatred. Relieved of pride,
guilt, resentment and hatred we live comfortably with life as it
comes, in true humility and peace.
The Way of Powerlessness reveals that recognizing our personal
powerlessness is the unguarded secret to harmonious living and
ultimate Freedom.
Wayne s loving heart acknowledges the suffering of our human
condition and nurtures the possibility for another way of
being.

Bill C. HTML Author description The Way of Powerlessness
(hardcover and softcover)
Wayne Liquorman (b. 1951) describes himself as being "completely
ordinary."
He grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles and then attended the
University of Hawaii where he graduated with a BA in Creative
Writing. He then returned to Southern California, married, fathered
two children and started an import/export business.
A nineteen-year bout with active alcoholism and drug addiction
ended spontaneously in 1985 leaving him sober and a spiritual
seeker. His goal became to determine, "what power in the Universe
could transform me so suddenly and against my will." After 16
months of daily involvement with the Twelve Steps and intensive
spiritual seeking, he met his guru, the retired president of the
Bank of India turned Advaitic Sage, Ramesh S. Balsekar. He soon
began publishing Ramesh's books and arranging Ramesh's speaking
tours. Spiritual Awakening occurred for Wayne in April of 1989,
soon after which he wrote the book NO WAY for the Spiritually
Advanced. He published the book under the pen name Ram Tzu because
he didn't want "a bunch of miserable seekers cluttering up my
living room."
Clearly, life had other plans for him. In 1996 Ramesh instructed
Wayne to teach. When Wayne tried to convince Ramesh he was not
suited to be a teacher, Ramesh answered his objections with the
simple words, "if they come, talk to them " People began coming and
Wayne now spends half of each year traveling the world, talking
about personal powerlessness and Advaita to groups of interested
people (and often has a bunch of spiritual seekers cluttering up
his living room when he is not traveling ) His Living Teaching and
his powerful presence continue to touch the lives of many.
This is his fifth book.
