Download or read book Transcendent Sex written by Jenny Wade and published by Gallery Books. This book was released on 2004-04-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IT'S NOT JUST SEX. IT'S NOT JUST LOVE. IT'S SOMETHING MORE.... But what could be better than sex? How about lovemaking that sweeps people into new realities, producing altered states of consciousness a thousand times more powerful than the most earth-shattering orgasm? Lovemaking so spectacular that it truly is a religious experience? Transcendent Sex is not about the "Tantric method." It is about the best-kept secret in human history: that ordinary people, with no special training, can find themselves in different spiritual realms when making love -- an experience so profound that nothing will ever be the same. It is about sex that triggers episodes identical to the highest spiritual states -- as described in the annals of shamanism, yoga, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam -- including visions, channeling, reliving past lives, transcending the laws of physics, and seeing the face of God. This revealing book tells of lovers who engaged in sex as usual and suddenly found the veil between the worlds torn open. Transcendent Sex, like any other spiritual awakening, changes lives. Atheists have become believers; long-standing psychological wounds have been healed; and the sexually abused have become whole. These are the inspiring, incredible true stories of people who experienced an ecstasy and fulfillment beyond the borders of this world.
Download or read book Sex and the Sacred written by Daniel A Helminiak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A down-to-earth look at the spiritual power of sex Sex and the Sacred examines the spiritual dimension of human sexuality in a way that is free of religious affiliation but still open to traditional religion and belief in God. Dr. Daniel Helminiak, author of the best-selling What the Bible Really Says about Homosexuality, looks at the relationship between sexuality and spirituality, first, from a humanistic perspective and, then, a more familiar Christian point of view. In particular, he encourages LGBTI people to reclaim their spiritual heritage without apology. This unique book emphasizes spiritual commitment as an essential facet of LGBTI/queer consciousness and addresses such burning themes as coming out, the importance of self-acceptance, gay marriage, gay bashing, and the ethics of gay sex. Sex and the Sacred combines a psychological approach to spirituality with common sense and compassion, inspiring a break from moralistic religion and an understanding of what true spirituality means. The book applies this understanding to Christian topics such as the Bible, Fundamentalism, and the future of Christianity, and shows how coming out was an issue for Jesus, how homosexual experience relates to the Christian Trinity, and how Western Civilization became so sex-negative. Sex and the Sacred presents in the end a radical vision of Christianity open to all people. Religious leaders of all denominations, educators, counselors, members of the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender community, non-religious spiritual seekers, and anyone interested in the relationship between spirituality and sexuality will find this book enlightening and uplifting. Sex and the Sacred examines: the spiritual drive that is built into human sexuality the standard religious arguments against gay marriage a sustained argument that Biblical Fundamentalism is not Christian spiritual lessons from the AIDS epidemic the right and wrong of sex—queer and otherwise homosexuality in Catholic teaching and practice sexual ethics without religion a vision for a renewed Christianity within a global community

Book excerpt: We're all looking for that special someone. But our expectations for love and relationships are often based on the notions of romantic love we've seen in Hollywood movies. We start to believe that if our marriage or relationship is not blissfully out of this world and doesn't perfectly fulfill all of our needs, there must be something terribly wrong. In Finding a Higher Love, world-renowned author Elizabeth Clare Prophet shares a much-needed spiritual perspective on love, sexuality and relationships. Every relationship has its challenges--whether we find ourselves with our soul mate, twin flame or what she calls a karmic partner. And yet, she explains, our intimate relationships and search for true love are, in reality, a quest for wholeness that offers us a unique opportunity for deep spiritual growth and inner transformation. With warmth and compassion, Elizabeth Clare Prophet explores the real purpose and power of relationships. Her profound insights as well as her practical tools and techniques will show you how to open your heart, spiritualize your partnerships and magnetize the highest love that is yours to have.

Download or read book Sexuality Love and Partnership written by Rudolf Steiner and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rudolf Steiner presents the human soul dilemma, split into male and female attributes...but offers a path of development that will eventually lead to overcoming these--what Jung called 'individuation, ' a merging with the true self or true ego of the human being" (from the introduction). We live in a sexualized society, surrounded by sexual imagery and content in almost every area of life. This condition presents us with many challenges. These include decreased clarity and increasing confusion about the distinction between love and sex; strife between men and women over their roles in society; and a persistent assault on childhood innocence. Despite the sensibilities of his time, Steiner made a huge contribution to our understanding of the complex theme of sexuality. In this freshly compiled anthology, Steiner describes the point in evolution at which human beings split from being androgynous, single-sexed beings to becoming beings of male and female genders. He traces the changing roles of the sexes in society, from the matriarchal past to today's patriarchal dominance. The division of the sexes brings suffering, but also the possibility of achieving higher stages of love. In the distant future, humanity can evolve sexuality into a new form, with the possibility that even the process of reproduction will be transformed. Steiner is refreshingly nonjudgmental and does not preach asceticism. He recognizes the all-too-human frailty with which people confront their personal lives, even in the case of such a great individual as Goethe. Sex is a necessary stage of human evolution, and the split nature of the human being is a fact of our time. Its healing will be gradual, but like Amfortas in the Grail story--whose wounded groin was a metaphor for amorous misadventure--we can all be healed through love and compassion.

Book excerpt: This is a book that explores human sexuality as an essential part of true spiritual development. Zulma Reyo begins by outlining the energetic anatomy of the human personality while also discussing the essential ingredients for the building of consciousness. The human sexual impulse is seen as the fundamental expression of the light within us, enabling interchange of vital, bio-physical energies and the sharing of lessons or experiences which can only be obtained by the reflection of another living soul. The primary contacts between the sexes - normal everyday relating, friendship and romantic involvement - are all explored as part of the subtle dynamics of the Alchemy of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am afflicted by an uncommon ailment - I let my heart decide what to love, and only then does my mind follow. - Love, Sex & Transcendence Romantic relationships are a vast source for spiritual growth but are often the first areas of our lives that succumb to deeply entrenched egoic beliefs. These false beliefs which we developed in childhood for the purpose of our physical survival - become the basis for how we view ourselves and our partners, keeping us stuck in repetitive patterns that prevent our ability to truly thrive, no matter how much effort we devote to other spiritual pursuits. In Love, Sex & Transcendence, Dr. Alam utilizes poetry coupled with short essays to help you re-connect to the ultimate source of love your inner self. Building on this connection, she guides you through the intensity of eroticism by exploring both the masculine and feminine aspects of sexuality. Finally, she takes you to the peak of transcendence itself, tying it all together to expose who you truly are: an exquisite spiritual being endowed with the potential to create a romantic partnership that is equally loving, passionate, and transformational.

Download or read book Sex Submission and Spirituality written by Amanda Schwab and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For whatever reason, both men and women are mistaken when it comes to understanding much of the Scripture and the power of God concerning the way men and women have been created. Many also misunderstand the roles each of them was created for. Many men will agree that sex and submission are essential parts of marriage. However, there are many men who fail to see spiritual connectedness as being just as important. Spiritual connectedness encourages oneness in a way that few marriages experience. Every woman needs her man to be the spiritual head of the home, just as God created him to be. Covering her and her children with prayer, scripture, and spiritual mentoring reassures her of the hope for tomorrow that is needed to get through the difficulties of today. In the inspirational Sex, Submission, and Spirituality, author Amanda Schwab specifically outlines what the majority of women believe to be misconceptions held by many men. These misconceptions reflect their knowledge and understanding of women and the differences God created in them. You will find clear explanations of these areas concerning the woman who sleeps beside you. Knowing the biblical truths about your Woman Beautiful will afford you the freedom to be the man God created you to be-one thriving in the abundance of His grace, knowledge, and wisdom and one rich in the reward of your wife's selfless and exhilarating love.

Others who have read this book have said: "Well that is probably the deepest book on Sex I have ever read. Raw, Real, and Revealing." - Letty Donald, Woman of God and Internet Marketing Guru A Must Read For Everyone!! I was given the opportunity to read this book through the generosity of the author Tiffany Domena. I was not sure what to expect based upon the title. It is one of the most important books I've read on human sexuality from a spiritual perspective. There are brief paragraphs at the beginning of each chapter that describe different scenarios one might find themselves in as born-again believers. Tiffany writes from a place of deep truth that is rarely found in books of this kind. I found it to be bold and refreshing. I would recommend this as a study for Sunday School, bible study or small groups. There is vitally important information shared and you would do yourself a huge disservice by not reading this book. I learned a number of things about sexuality God's way. It's time to reclaim this area of our life so that we might be instruments of change in the kingdom. -Tawana Hawkins, Women's Spiritual Growth Mentor DOWNLOAD YOUR COPY NOW!
