Butterflies Are Free To Fly: A New and Radical Approach to Spiritual Evolution [NOOK Book]

Did you know???

Stephen Davis was broke and living in a 1 bedroom apt with nothing but multiple failed marriages, multiple failed careers and a failed life to show for his 70+ years on this planet. He has "religion hopped", searched for the "new age" and "followed gurus" for most of his life... each time believing with all of his heart and professing to the world... "THIS TIME I have figured IT out!" He is at it again! This book starts out fine and his analogies make you feel that maybe, just maybe he, is on to something... until you realize that EVERYTHING IN THE FIRST 200 PAGES is borrowed (LITERALLY) from someone else... he doesn't plagiarize... he tells you that he is borrowing the ideas, the concepts and the philosophy he is talking about! There is not ONE original thought or idea until... THE "Infinite I"! Allow me to save you the 1100+ pages of BS... he compares us (yes, you and me and every other human) to a helpless and meaningless "BIG TOE" that has no power to choose for ourselves, to think for ourselves, to decide what path to take and even goes so far as to suggest that every human tragedy, even those that man has done to hurt, destroy and torture one another IS NOT WRONG! (So, NO learning from our mistakes, NO wisdom, NO evolving through trial and error) He tells us that we are being controlled by the "Infinite I" and that we are to obediently observe... that's it! I guess if I were homeless, penniless, and confronting the end of a completely failed life... a life without anything to show for it... that blaming the "Infinite I" and not taking responsibility for my f' up life would be a comforting philosophy. THIS BOOK IS 'FREE' FOR A REASON! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!

Don't waste your time

Stephen Davis managed to take one drug induced idea and beat it to death for 1127 pages. I want my time back he stole from me.

Thought Provoking

I don't necessarily agree with the author's cold and impersonal "Infinite I" theory, but like many religious or philosophical conclusions to the existence of self, it is nonetheless thought-provoking. The book is well-written, but certainly not without its inconsistencies. I would recommend it to those not afraid to question individuality or ego, but would highly discourage those of blind faith to jump on this bandwagon. You'll only end up back in the theater if you do......

Bible

Read the bible. It's the only truth you will ever need. CHANGED MY LIFE! JESUS is the way, the truth and the light. Take the challenge! I dare you. Leave all those other useless books alone.

Skip it....

The author comes across as bitter, self-righteous, and condescending. I couldn't finish the book.not worth the time or the space on my Nook.

Very hard to get into. Poorly written

I keep trying to get into this book & just can't seem to figure out the key. It is slow, ponderous and relatively stupid.

It sounds awesome so if someone has the magic button, please let me know.

Can relate!

I'm still reading this and a few other books at the same time.I like this book a lot.I think everyone should try this,because we all have been there,or are going to be there,at sometime,or some level in our path of living and learning.I almost have to say it's a "must read."

Interesting read, to say the least...

This was an interesting read, I enjoyed his movie theater metaphor, a spin off of Plato's cave...this author, like others, is simply stating his opinion on the matters mentioned in his writing. It is solely up to the reader to take from it what you wish, and use in your own way if you choose.
I would totally recommend this read to those who are open minded and open hearted and who enjoy a good, radical idea every now and again!!

Enjoy!

entertaining

Kept me turning pages but not convinced about the hologram
theory.

Aewsome

Fajjh

Awesome

A must read for anyone searching for answers about their life...highly recommend to all that keep asking the same questions I have,,,why why why....

Very helpful

Great book. No judgment. People in prison should read this book.

Some good information along with some odd theories

I love the fact that the author introduces readers to the basics of quantum physics but I don't know if I can agree with his theories of how it all works.

Highly Recommend

Highly Recommend

interesting

i have just finished reading the book. i am not really sure about "infinite I" and other "infinite I"s around me that created by my "infinite I" so i can have imperfect experiences. To be honest, I hope he's wrong about "infinite I". this theory made me feel even less than who i am.
Nevertheless, i think you should read it. you will see yourself and the world around you in different point of view.

This a must read book!

I have really enjoyed this book. It is easy to understand. And the information rings true to me. Maybe if I would have read this book first I wouldnt have had to read the 100 other ones about my spirtual journey. This book has really helped me to see things in a whole new light.
