Liberating Eros

About the Book

This book is about lovemaking as the supreme path of spiritual practice. Through its carefully crafted chapters, Barratt presents a profound and ancient insight. The essential flow of life is sexual, sensual, and spiritual. Consequently, our sexuality is not an obstacle to spiritual life. Rather, it is the singular vehicle of Holy Spirit. The libidinality of our embodiment is the only process by which we may come to be truly in the spirit of Love, life and liberty. This book may disturb some of its readers, but it will not be forgotten. For it reminds us to return to the dance of life and to the nakedness of genuine spiritual experience.
