The book presents a love story. An aspiring love with Antonovna (Anton for short) erupts with an amazing ease, but becomes blocked by the overlaying brutality of politics, rape in the past, and the simple-minded enthusiastic honesty of a man who hadn't grown up enough to the challenge of being truly honest with himself about the sharing and uplifting dimensions of loving, especially with sexual sharing on the horizon. The result becomes a great love story for reasons that love itself eventually becomes a light that grows brighter by its own dynamics and thereby keeps the door open to the...

A gently daring brilliance is allowed to unfold into love in order to hold back the darkening of a failing world. When nothing in the world remains as it had been and all is lost, the focus falls on what is intrinsically true and deeply real. In this environment, what has started as a love story built on mutual support of one-another, becomes a sex story that extends the atmosphere of support into sexual unity that reaches deeper than any form of union that is normally allowed between two friends. When the conventions, beliefs, and emotions have been reduced to ashes by a nuclear-weapons...

The story in the book comprises the first half of my novel, Glass Barriers. The story is fiction, though it shouldn't be. It takes a theoretical principle, tests it, and builds on it. The theoretical principle is simple. It rests on the fact that we are all human beings of a single universal humanity. By virtue of this fact, we are more closely 'married' to one-another than by the lesser bonds that priests and civil institutions sanctify. The universal form of our natural union is richer, because our loving in Love cherishes an attribute of who and what we are as human beings. That's bigger...

The unity of the sexes, as a divine design, is a difficult subject in theology, but not so as a basic concept when one peels away superimposed fiction that complicates the issue. But one of the hardest concept in theology is the virgin birth concept that actually breaks the unity of God and man, as it is told in the gospels. It conjures up a super hero, the personal son of God, who by virtue of his special status is endowed which special powers, with which he illustrates to society divine capabilities that a common humanity lacks by its low state as underlings, and may at best grovel for,...

It might also be called an invitation to heaven, a sex story that honors the Mosaic Decalogue. The great renaissance principle, the Principle of Universal Love, which has to some degree become the foundation of civilization, has never really been allowed into the social domain, to uplift it. Attempts have been made. They usually fail when sex enters the scene. It takes a trained scientist who lives at the leading edge of science to rigorously honor the demands of universal Principle in the face of the world's contrary social conventions of privatized love and the privatization of sex that is...

The story presented here is science fiction of a space journey with freedom to move, to love, to choose, to live. Imagine, traveling in an instant to wherever you want to be The universe is your playground. Thought becomes expression. This expression also has a sexual dimension.

While we may never be able to travel physically, in an instant, to wherever we want to be, we should have this potential mentally where no inherent...

Book 2 of the epic series of novels The Lodging for the Rose Fiction and reality often merge. As the boundaries blur, we may find sexual and social boundaries blurred as well. The love stories that unfold in this setting are painted with the Principle of Universal Love and the colors of romance, passion, politics, conspiracies, love, religion, sex, wide horizons, and even a faint dawning of a universal sense of marriage by virtue of us all being human beings with a single, common humanity that we all share. The novel explores scientific moral freedoms on a platform where the seemingly...

This is a large format edition of the novel 'Discovering Love' the first book of the epic series of novels 'The Lodging for the Rose.' The series was started as a project to explore Love in its native dimension as universal love, unbounded and free. The project began with a single novel, the novel, Discovering Love. However, it soon became apparent that a subject as wide as universal love, cannot be addressed in the small form of a single book. It became apparent that a second volume needed to be added, and then another, and so on. Thus, over the span of more than a decade, the work grew into...

Erica's Flower Garden in the Sex and Sacrament Project: Is it possible for a gardener to embrace but one single flower in a vast garden and close the eyes to all the surrounding profusion of life? It has been said that space is the final frontier. I like to disagree. I propose that the final frontier is the Principle of Universal Love. We have reached into space. We have achieved what no other form of life that we know of has accomplished; to leave the Earth and return to it. Nevertheless, we still hate and steal from each other and make wars and kill human beings in countless different ways....

A person who loves is also a healer. Should there be limits to this love that heals? Have you ever wandered the streets at night, or at midday, to cure love pains? Love pains are not easily cured. No drugstore caries the remedy and no pub dispenses the healing 'waters.' Nor is the curative process taught by professors in universities. It seems we are alone with our love pains, and yet they are so easily cured. We all have the capacity to heal and often we are touched by the forces of this healing, but rarely do we open our hearts and hands. We shy away from the process of healing for a...
