Book 3 of “The Code of Opposites” (TCO for short) furthers the mission to heal our authority issues, and thus to shift from the ego's need to dominate into wholesome power. While Book 1 focused on "no push-pull" and Book 2 looked at "no self-doubt," Book 3 puts a cherry on top of the consciousness ice cream by inviting "no yearning." Imagine the spaciousness you'd feel if the hunger for love, approval and recognition were satiated-if you actually...
