Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The book is for men and women who are turned on by sex, love, and true spiritual ecstasy. It is for people who enjoy tangled bodies, open hearts, and enlightened minds. If you are not delighted by a style of intimacy involving deep passion, deep devotion, and deep understanding, then this book is not for you.
#2 While efforts toward social and economic equality between men and women have been necessary and beneficial, we have also suffered an unplanned side-effect: Men and women have become more and more sexually neutralized, unable to give each other what they really want in intimacy.
#3 To grow in the three stages of intimacy, we must come to terms with our deepest desires to give and receive our sexual, emotional, and spiritual gifts. We may find that we are hiding some of our real desires, thinking they are unfair or taboo.
#4 The ultimate pleasure in intimacy is not to be found in any specific person, and it is not found in a carefully arranged 50/50 relationship with a safe man or woman. It is found in the process of open-hearted surrender, of being overwhelmed in love.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The book is for men and women who are turned on by sex, love, and true spiritual ecstasy. It is for people who enjoy tangled bodies, open hearts, and enlightened minds. If you are not delighted by a style of intimacy involving deep passion, deep devotion, and deep understanding, then this book is not for you.

#2

While efforts toward social and economic equality between men and women have been necessary and beneficial, we have also suffered an unplanned side-effect: Men and women have become more and more sexually neutralized, unable to give each other what they really want in intimacy.

#3

To grow in the three stages of intimacy, we must come to terms with our deepest desires to give and receive our sexual, emotional, and spiritual gifts. We may find that we are hiding some of our real desires, thinking they are unfair or taboo.

#4

The ultimate pleasure in intimacy is not to be found in any specific person, and it is not found in a carefully arranged 50/50 relationship with a safe man or woman. It is found in the process of open-hearted surrender, of being overwhelmed in love.

#5

The practice of Intimate Communion is not based on the sex roles of yesterday or the 50/50 idealism of today. Rather, this new style of intimacy is a step forward for men and women who are ready to yield their protected sense of separate self to the blissful force of unrestrained love.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Love is the simplest of the three elements of intimacy, and the most difficult to practice. It is simply what is when your heart is open. To do love is to open your heart. You can learn to love, and practice opening your heart in every moment, even when circumstances are difficult.

#2

romantic attraction is based on a strong feeling of oneness and bonding with someone. It is difficult to believe that we just met a few minutes ago, and we feel like we have known each other for a long time. But after several months or years, the feeling of romantic attraction wears off, and we end up with not getting the love we want.

#3

The thrill of being in love wears off, and your partner seems to be perfectly suited to cause you pain. You seem to have an uncanny ability to poke at your partner’s weak spots and hurt them, though not on purpose.

#4

Sexual polarity, the magnetic pull or repulsion between the Masculine and Feminine, affects all our lives. We begin to master it by becoming aware of its flow in everyday life. We become sensitive to its effects on our minds, bodies, and thoughts.

#5

The practice of Intimate Communion involves the active and conscious use of the force of sexual polarity in the transmission of love. Sexual polarity is a flow of energy that runs through your body, mind, and emotions, and you might experience it many times a day.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

To master sexual polarity, you must become sensitive to the flow of sexual polarity itself. You must learn to feel the moment when polarity diminishes or increases. Sexual polarity is a natural energy that requires two poles, and it flows between the Masculine and Feminine poles.

#2

Masculine and Feminine do not mean man and woman, but are universal sexual forces. When you are in your Masculine energy mode, you are goal oriented, focused, and self-disciplined. When you are in your Feminine energy mode, you are flowing, open, and life force.

#3

When you are in your Masculine energy, you are very focused and modal. You are able to flow from one thing to another. When you are in your Feminine energy, you are more able to flow from one thing to another.

#4

The flow of sexual polarity does not imply romantic attraction or love. It is a natural force that flows between any Masculine and Feminine pole. To consciously work with the flow of sexual polarity in our intimacies and in the workplace, we must become sensitive to the type of energy we are putting out: Masculine, Neutral, or Feminine.

#5

The art of cultivating sexual polarity is not necessary for the flow of real love. Very frequently, in fact, long-term relationships lose their sexual polarity over time, yet the partners still love each other very much.

#6

The play of sexual polarity between a man and a woman is most common in culture. However, it is possible for two men or two women to practice sexual polarity in Intimate Communion, as long as one of them is playing the Masculine pole and the other is playing the Feminine pole during intimate moments.

#7

neutralization is when a person’s Masculine and Feminine forces are absorbed in a book rather than in each other. When this happens, sexual polarity is neutralized.

#8

When a husband tells his wife about his plan for making money, she interrupts him to tell him how foolish he is. She gives him several reasons why her own plan is better and will succeed. Suddenly, their polarity is reversed, and they start animating different energies.

#9

The Masculine and Feminine energies are directed toward different things. The Masculine is about searching for a path in life, while the Feminine is about opening up to love and giving love.
