The metaphysical understanding of an addicted mind through spatial disambiguation. ![coverfinal600nocomp](https://www.reflectionrecovery.org/hs-fs/hubfs/coverfinal600nocomp.jpg?width=300&height=480&name=coverfinal600nocomp.jpg "coverfinal600nocomp") ### Methodology. The conscious accepts what our environment applies. Do we ever truly see that? ### Spatial Disambiguation. To assign in 3d an ambiguous map of a time and place from context and environment. ### Metaphysical. A branch of philosophy studying the fundamental nature of existence. ### Introspective. Examining ones own thoughts. ### The Parable A master, a student, a philosopher and our self. Coalesced. ### Foundation 4 places of introspection and our center. ### Coalesce To come together to be a mass or a whole. ### Powerful. Your mind can be made whole, powerful over addiction ![](https://www.reflectionrecovery.org/hs-fs/hubfs/blog-social-19.jpg?width=386&height=404&name=blog-social-19.jpg) spatial disambiguation self-reflection Book Launch # What Is "Reflection" About? Read the First Pages of the Book ![R.W Dixon](https://7528315.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528315/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-cms-elevate-theme_hubspot/elevate/images/avatar-placeholder.jpg?width=48&height=48&name=avatar-placeholder.jpg) R.W Dixon October 26, 2026 ## What is "Reflection" about?  Read the first pages and decide for yourself.   I'm R. W. Dixon, author of \*Reflection\* and founder of Reflection Recovery, a recovery community in Virginia. My book launches November 11. It presents recovery as an architecture of attention — how where we stand in relation to our own experience determines what recovery is possible. The full subtitle says the rest: \*A Transformative Approach to Recovery Using Spatial Disambiguation\*.   Before you decide whether the book is for you, read the beginning. I'm giving away the complete \*\*Prologue ("The Place Within")\*\* and the complete \*\*Introduction\*\* — the book's actual opening pages, exactly as typeset — as a free excerpt:   [Free Download!](https://4269ih.share-na2.hsforms.com/2WJQep4JhR0OgGr7tNq6siQ)   What you'll find there: the place this all starts. Not a technique — a recognition. The book's method wasn't developed in a lab; it was practiced in my own recovery (4,368 days and counting) and refined in community with the people signing our public signature wall.   The full book is out November 11 — pre-order it here: [reflectionrecovery.org/book.](https://reflectionrecovery.org/book)   And if you're counting days of your own: the wall is open. Day one counts. [reflectionrecovery.org/magicwall](https://reflectionrecovery.org/macigwall)   — R. W.
