"Human relationship, in all its mystery and glory, is truly our foundation in the contemporary world. From it we derive all that we know: love, life, birth, death, pain, healing, and - for those of us who learn how to make ours bear fruit - joy and transcendence. For when we discover the relationship, we understand ourselves; we comprehend ourselves in its reflected light. Each understanding feeds the other, resulting in a rich new path in life for both partners." "In Embracing the Beloved, the Levines turn their attention to what has been their most significant commitment over the past fifteen years - their own relationship." "In this groundbreaking book, they demonstrate how to use a relationship as a means for profound inner growth and healing. The insights and anecdotes found in Embracing the Beloved are shared for the benefit of all who are drawn to looking inward and all who seek a relationship as a path for spiritual renewal and merciful awareness of life."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
