Review

A startling and persuasive new take on the new age by a Twelve Step enthusiast. With a compelling writing style that doesn't just dance around the subject. . . Readers will find a penetrating synthesis of Twelve Step Recovery, contemporary and ancient principles in his Cosmic Perspective. Burney's comments are innovative and inspiring, and may just be the answer for so many seeking spiritual guidance. -- The Book Reader

From the Publisher

We feel that this is one of the most important books of our time. No one has ever explained the human dilemma as clearly and simply as The Dance of Wounded Souls. Many books are out which speak to the psychological condition that has come to be called codependence - this book is about the Spiritual wound that caused the psychological condition. It's purpose is to remind old souls of who they are, and why they are here in human body on this planet at this time. All old souls are now doing accelerated Karmic settlement in this New Age. Our mission to integrate Spirituality into our interactions. It is easy to feel Spiritual in relationship with nature. It is relating to other humans that is messy. That is because we learned how to do life and relationships in childhood. Through healing our childhood wounds we can learn to connect Spiritually and also, in the process, heal the planet. It is possible to feel the feelings without being the victim of them, or victimizing others with them. It is possible to change the way we think so that our mind is no longer our worst enemy. It is possible to become empowered to have choices in life at the same time we are letting go of trying to control life. Life can be an exciting, enjoyable adventure when we wake up to Spiritual Truth and integrate it into our day to day life so that we can stop reacting out of our childhood emotional wounds and dysfunctional attitudes!

5.0 out of 5 stars A real gem to listen to, February 13, 2003

I bought this tape because I have been attending CODA meetings and wanted to get a new perspective on codependence. Robert Burney more than delivers in this audio tape. He points out that AA and its spin-off twelve-step programs are really part of a spiritual awakening whose time has come. Burney uses the term "outer dependence" to point out that the root of codependence is relying on anything out there (jobs, education, friends, that special someone, money, power, and so on) to make us feel better. The author challenges us to look at things inside out and look inward for a sense of well being and true value. Burney talks about healing the inner child and how important that works for a truly healthy sense of well being. The author also challenges us to take a hard look at society and organized religion that programs us to BE CODEPENDENT.

Burney also shares his thought about the mystery called life. He presents many wonderful insights about living our lives and achieving balance or wholeness. His ideas agree with Carl Jung's notion that wholeness (and NOT perfectness) is what we humans need to be at inner peace.

I feel that this audio tape is a wonderful challenge for everyone who is asking questions and who is struggling to make sense of life. Burney has a lot to share. I have benefited from this tape greatly, as it gave me a valuable insight on codependence and how to seriously disempower it. I have decided not to attend the CODA meetings anymore as these 12-step programs themselves can and often do become a crutch and a new more subtle addiction. The audio tape became a strategic tool to empower me over my codependence.

This audio tape is a must for you if you are a seeker!

I find myself listening to these over and over. Seldom have I found anything or anyone that has helped me change my attitudes and behavior to a greater state of mental health as profoundly or quickly. Not that it's overnight,but over the past month since I got them I've made a lot of progress. I've seen therapists over the years for this and that, been to support groups, read other books. Some were decent but these tapes have been the most helpful in learning to love myself.

There are some good insights on this tape, but I find that a lot of it is repeated, cliche and unnecessary information.
