This book is about the phenomena and integration of the awakening process inherent in human evolution. The author explores how a fundamental shift in consciousness has the power to change our most deeply held assumptions about culture, health and disease, sexuality, parenting, war, and most importantly, relationships. With The Black Butterfly , Richard Moss has composed a symphony of wonderment and beauty about love and aliveness, while also reclaiming the healing potential of our darker secrets. Richard Moss is highly regarded for his profound work as a teacher and catalyst of transformation, and for his courage and willingness to embody higher energy without denying his humanness. His work touches all areas of service, including health, business, counselling and religious life. This updated 2026 edition marks the return of this essential work and features a new preface by the author.
