Love’s Knowledge is a revelatory read in its totality.
Followed with more Delicious Self Knowledge and Evolutionary Loving insights
Review by Eve Ensler
"In Evolutionary Love Relations, Andrew Harvey and Chris Saade have revealed
the love we have always dreamed of.
the love we have always dreamed of.
Their gorgeous book is a radiant call to evolutionary love:
where sex can be holy, orgasm a conduit to the divine, and intimate love,
the expansion of justice, peace, unity on this earth..
It made me want to love again."

"Strong soul connections have this perfume, this draw, this aroma that others simply don't.
They taste like 'I already know you' and we were meant to do this again.
They feel like 'I recognize you' and here again we were meant to learn.
They taste like soul, like family, like deep knowing or even blood sometimes.
And no matter where they take us, how deep goes the unravelling, the storm -- we Know that it was meant to play out exactly as it did, in the name of higher alchemy, in the name of mutual growth - we Know that it was symphony from the Divine Orchestra". 
Adam Phillips on the interplay between frustration and satisfaction in love,
Erich Fromm on mastering the art of loving,
Alain de Botton on why our partners drive us mad,
Esther Perel on the central paradox of love,
"We are living in a time of disintegration and iconoclasm
which the Hindus call Kali Yuga.
It hurts and frightens us, but is not essentially evil.
It is rather a universal Passion in which man cries,
“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
Then finish with Nussbaum on anger and forgiveness, agency and victimhood, the intelligence of the emotions, and how to live with our human fragility.
Self knowledge applied to Life. The Loving Path is Everywhere. Howver You Choose.

“The meaning of life is just to be alive.
It’s so plain and so obvious and so simple.
And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic,
as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”
