The Mystery of LoveSimon and Schuster, 2004 - 384 páginas The ancient wisdom of the great Hebrew mystics makes one essential promise: "There is a better way to live." In his follow-up to the national bestseller "Soul Prints," renowned spiritual leader Marc Gafni addresses the ever-important issue of our erotic connection to the universe. "The Mystery of Love"takes us on an extraordinary journey that illuminates the path toward all-encompassing and enduring love -- one that enables us to experience the full eros of living. With clarity and compassion, Rabbi Gafni teaches us how to live with passion and love in all facets of our lives. "The Mystery of Love" begins with a radical new understanding of loving, drawn from the ancient wisdom texts of the Kabbalist tradition, and explains how ten unique qualities of sexuality (The Hebrew Tantra) can serve as our spiritual guides in the creation of a loving, passionate existence in every dimension of our lives. |
