This review is from: Sex and the Spiritual Path: Uniting the Spirit and the Body (Edgar Cayce Guide) (Mass Market Paperback)

Anyone who has grown up under the wing of traditional Christianity, supressing every sexual thought and desire out of fear of hell and damnation will find themselves breathing much easier after reading this book. This book provides a practical and responsible view of the role spirituality plays in healthy sexual relationships, based on the readings of Edgar Cayce. If nothing else, it may provide a more solid foundation on which to build a healthier relationship.

This review is from: Sex and the Spiritual Path (Mass Market Paperback)

For spiritual people who feel confused about the act of having sex while on a spiritual path, well, relax! This book is the book you definately need to read. Mr. Cayce does not condemn anyone, or says anything like, "sex is bad or dirty", nor does he judge anyone. This book deals with many different areas of sexuality including marriages, cheating, homosexuality, masterbation, and the list goes on. Read it, you'll like it! Enjoy!
