📝 Description: Finding God Through Sex: Awakening the One of Spirit Through the Two of Flesh

When it comes to sex, most of us want more. The question is: more of what? According to David Deida, when the depth of intimacy you've been experiencing is no longer fulfilling to your heart and body--when you sense that sexuality should go far beyond an embrace of brief satisfaction--the time has come to explore your unique sexual path to the divine. In Finding God Through Sex, this brilliant writer and internationally renowned expert on spiritual sexuality presents a revolutionary new way to love--one in which sex literally becomes an erotic act of devotional surrender, "making love, magnifying love, from the boundless depth of your heart through every inch of your body and in merger with your lover."Through provocative vignettes that illuminate the many moods that color lovemaking, and direct instruction that speaks honestly to the masculine and feminine desires within each of us, Deida brings wisdom gained from 30 years' work with thousands of couples to illustrate the distinct yet complementary avenues men and women can skillfully travel toward untamed passion and sacred unity. What unfolds is an unparalleled road map to the place where we "love as the cosmos loves: One loving itself as an other, yet remembering itself as One."

Occult literature desk
Deida presents a compelling argument for viewing sex as a pathway to the sacred, drawing on decades of experience to illuminate the complementary energies of genders. The text successfully frames intimacy as a devotional act, merging hearts and bodies in reflection of cosmic love. However, it may not suit readers who prefer purely clinical or secular approaches to sexuality, nor those uncomfortable with essentialist views on gender dynamics. Those seeking quick fixes for relationship problems might find the spiritual depth daunting. It is best approached by individuals already inclined toward esoteric philosophy and willing to engage deeply with abstract concepts of spirit and flesh.
