Radiant joy, brilliant love : secrets for creating an extraordinary life and profound intimacy with your partner

"Radiant Joy Brilliant Love does not merely talk about ideas. Rather, based on the author's skillful, and even shamanic, use of language, the book seeks to replace old ways of thinking with new 'memes'-- fundamental design instructions for the structure of our minds. These memes are capable of transmitting a kind of deep clarity that allows the reader to immediately apply new possibilities. Readers will experience, first hand, what they are doing to undermine self and relationship, and learn how they can create something entirely different ... As long-term couples have discovered, love is built, not found. For those who are willing to pay the price--in self-reflection, honesty, listening and risking--this book will be an invaluable source of guidance in the building of a new foundation, and serve as a witness to the reality that human love is limitless."--Amazon.com. This hard-hitting and innovative book about man-woman relationship challenges the deceptions about love and intimacy rampant in today's patriarchal culture and reveals a step-by-step process for discovering and living out alternative possibilities. According to the author, even the "best" of our relationships are still generally basic what he calls "Ordinary Human Relationship." Two more domains remain to be Extraordinary Human Relationship and Archetypal Love. Radiant Joy Brilliant Love shows how to enter these new domains and how to stay there long enough to cultivate genuine intimacy, nurturance, excitement, and satisfaction together. The material for the book is startlingly original and fresh, directly distilled from over 30 years of trial, error, and evaluation within seminars and trainings conducted by the author in the United States and Europe. The essential teaching tools are "Thought-Maps" that illustrate and guide the dynamics of evolving relationship, coupled with a series of experiments/"explorations" to be engaged alone or with one's partner. The author claims that "an endless abundance of love can be directly experienced by any human being who prepares himself or herself." That preparation is what this book offers.
