“In ‘Recover With Me,’ Lynn Kesselman enabled us to integrate the 12 steps by thoroughly understanding them and not just to comply with them. In ‘Five Gates, The Science of Healing the Spirit,’ he shows us how to achieve our emotional healing by fulfilling the needs of the human spirit. Five Gates provides a methodology whereby a person can become whole; the Five Gates are the Gates to happiness.”

“The Five Gates is a call for action and is not instead of Alcoholics Anonymous (or any of AA’s offshoots such as Narcotics Anonymous, Nicotine Anonymous, etc.) but in addition to these important life saving programs.”

“Five Gates uniquely defines spirituality and alters our thoughts, emotions, psychology and mental health by directing us to a clearer understanding of how these connections work. Gate by Gate one progresses from illness, confusion and fear to clarity and hopefulness; from poor health to wellness; from slavery to freedom. More than a post-graduate course in the 12 steps, it is ‘autopsychoanalysis.'”

“Attacking the full spectrum of the psycho/social/spiritual/physical disease of addiction, Five Gates beautifully recognizes the interrelation of these four components and that wellness (which is also called sobriety) demands a fine tuned balance of all four components. Kesselman draws attention to the mind, body and spirit evolving in an intriguing and methodical manner. Altering our thoughts, emotions and spirituality also alters our physiology and medical health. Uniquely defining spirituality, Five Gates directs you to a clearer understanding of just what this very necessary life component is about; thus enabling your light of awareness to turn on and clarity to emerge. Addiction is a chronic, not an acute illness. It is a progressive disease. It demands our continuing attention.”

“Lynn’s thorough and intimate presentation of the psychological workings of addiction is excellent and his Gates (steps) are powerful transformational tools for recovery. We will eventually combine our growing understanding of the physical aspects of addiction with programs like the Five Gates to create new more powerful treatment modalities. Lynn’s work is inspired and brilliant.”

“Lynn’s 12 step book ‘Recover with Me’ was like finding treasure; it is better than the best materials of Hazeldon and all the others we could find.. ‘Five Gates’ picks up where ‘Recover With Me’ left off by providing us with a clear self-help method for healing our spirits. We plan to continue to use Lynn’s tools for helping our inmates not only recover but become able to live happy and useful lives.”

“For those who have believed that they could not understand a presentation or method of sweeping importance, this book will soon change their minds. Lynn has a way of expressing the truth in terms we can all understand.”

Five Gates: The Science of Healing the Spirit is not a pill but it is the first program I have seen which holds the promise of arresting and reversing the epidemic which keeps mine and all other prisons full and the courts overwhelmed with an endless supply of new disturbed and addicted offenders. Five Gates starts by helping us see how we have become who we are and continues to describe not only how we would ideally be, but also gives us a method by which we can improve ourselves quickly.
