This review is from: Finding God Through Sex: Awakening the One of Spirit Through the Two of Flesh (Paperback)

Sensual and Alluring
I bought this book b/c of reviews of Mr Deida's poetic ability to write of the subject of sex. I was looking for an understanding of the mystical union between men and women. Mr. Deida's book wrote of this union; his diction..... warm, wonderful and sweet.
His writing allowed me to enter the mind of an `awakened', one who sees the union beyond the sensory perception of our flesh and mind. Finding God through Sex validated my experience of lovemaking as transcendent of the human condition, into the realm of spirit. I agree Mr Deida, through lovemaking, were are connected with God.
This book is an easy read. Mr Deida's prose reminds me of Sourwood honey; sweet, sticky and full of nourishment....YUM. Romantics of life and spirituality..........read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Discovering a Deeper Spiritual Path through Sexual Intimacy, July 31, 2009

This review is from: Finding God Through Sex: Awakening the One of Spirit Through the Two of Flesh (Paperback)

I have found Deida's books and workshops to be profoundly enlightening in discovering a deeper spiritual awareness through relationships and sex. In this book Deida uncovers the nuances that can create blocks in sexual intimacy and explains how to deepen a relationship and open sex to a new level of sacredness and spiritual depth. Not everybody is ready to look at sex at this level, but for those who are it is an insightful book that is written with much awareness and understanding that can take a couple to a deeper intimate connection and higher level of satisfaction.
