An Invitation to Radical AlivenesswithRichard Moss

Books Mentioned In This Interview

Richard Moss is a medical doctor who has been active as a spiritual guide and mentor for the past forty years, since I first met him. He is author of many books including How Shall I Live?, The I That Is We, The Mandala of Being, Inside-Out Healing. Today we will be discussing one of his early books, The Black Butterfly: An Invitation to Radical Aliveness that has recently been published in a new edition. His website is https://richardmoss.com/

Richard reflects on radical aliveness as a direct encounter with presence, love, and the dissolution of the egoic self. He recounts transformative mystical experiences, spontaneous healing phenomena, and the role of fear, suffering, and embodiment in awakening to deeper consciousness. Moss emphasizes that true transformation arises not from seeking external answers, but from surrendering fully to the present moment and learning to meet life with openness, compassion, and courage.
