Chapter 1 from the Book: And They Knew Each Other by Dieter Duhm and Sabine Lichtenfels. The Chapter is called Collective Misery in Love: A Global Issue.
To move into the new paradigm of love we need to heal much from the old paradigm. This book captures the insights, knowledge and wisdom necessary to do so.
Book Back Cover:
"Sexual love and altruism, Eros and Agape, constitute a spiritual - emotional unit, Within the body-soul and organism of the human being, there is a deep connection between the thinking organ, the sexual organ and the heart organ. When the energy flows from the sexual area meets up inside the heart with the energy flows from the head, the initial shining image of the human being emerges. The old Egyptians called it the 'merkaba'.
If this image is reinforced by a trusting community, the heart chakra takes on the central guiding function for the social, sexual, and intellectual life. A flow of warmth arises for the mind and the Eros. No violence can exist if the heart guides human history.
Imagine for the moment a world of fulfilled Eros, a world without mistrust and fear in love. Once the experience of mutual trust has created a human foundation, the ethics of altrusim will automatically arise. A heart that no longer suffers under the constant stress of unfulfilled needs is free for others.
