Robert Augustus Masters shares the introduction to his new book,Transformation Through Intimacy: The Journey Toward Awakened Monogamy, now available for preorder on Amazon.
Image by Mark Henson [+view gallery] Intimate relationship has over the last four or five decades evolved so far from its long-established ways—mutating in diverse directions—that its very nature and structuring, once a largely unquestioned given, is clearly up for some deep questioning and reformulating. Reformulating, revisioning, restructuring, reinventing—how we tend to look at intimate relationship is changing almost as rapidly as intimate relationship itself. One result of this is that many of us do not have a particularly clear view of intimate relationship and its possibilities. Attracting Our Beloved. We are very happy to feature the following excerpt from Robert Augustus Masters' new book, Transformation Through Intimacy: The Journey Toward Awakened Monogamy, now available on Amazon.
Image by Vivi-Mari Carpelan [+view gallery] So many yearn to be in a genuinely intimate relationship—a relationship that consistently enlivens, deepens, and awakens—and wonder why they continue to find themselves alone or in relationships that don’t really work for them (but which they keep hoping will). So many are having a relationship not with the other—be that other their partner or their hoped-for beloved—but instead with the other’s potential.
Some think that all that they have to do to attract their beloved is to wish and intend for that one to somehow show up, but wishing and intending is not enough, no matter how ardently we may believe in our power to manifest what we want.

Few of us come face-to-face with death in such a clear and present way as Ric Elias, who was on board Flight 1549 when it crash-landed on New York's Hudson River four years ago. Ric (the CEO of Red Ventures) and everyone on board, expected to die on impact. Andrew Z. Cohen: The Meaning of Your Life. Watch the TEDTalk that inspired this post.
Ric Elias is a very lucky man. And it's not only because he survived a near-death experience when his plane (U.S. Airways Flight 1549) crashed into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009. It's because he allowed this experience to deeply and profoundly change his relationship to life. I only wish that more of us had this response to near-fatal brushes with our own mortality. Interestingly, it works the same way with mystical experiences... I remember the very first time I took LSD, at the age of 16, in 1971. I always marveled in those days at how, shortly after the hallucinogenic effects of the powerful drug wore off, most people seemed to forget what they knew in the midst of the trip. I became a pretty much full-time spiritual seeker in my early twenties because of a non-drug-induced glimpse of mystical insight that I had that same year.
Ric Elias: 3 things I learned while my plane crashed. The Integral Movement: Past, Present, and Future. In this exhilarating dialogue, Roger Walsh offers one of the finest overviews of the integral movement that we have ever seen—where we're at, where we've been, and where we're going.
