Book Hero thinking about your next read

Don Miguel Ruiz, the author of the classic The Four Agreements and one of the most influential spiritual leaders in the world today, offers students of mystery a new path of knowledge through the most powerful force in the uni-verse: love.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

We all think we know what love is. We know it from the songs, romantic comedies, and stories that we have been told since childhood. But what if love is not what we have been taught to believe? How can we transcend the idea of love that has been instilled in us, and how can we overcome the habits of a lifetime and discover a pure, unconditional love?

Eros by Don Miguel Ruiz and Barbara Emrys shows us that it is possible to love others and ourselves much more authentically and generously. One by one, Don pulls back the veils that prevent us from glimpsing the true nature of love so that we can transcend the idea that has been programmed into us.

Through the transformative power of awareness and attention, we will learn to see beyond our stories about loveโ€”those that we are told, but also those that we tell ourselvesโ€”so that we can change the way we think and react. Once you set the illusions aside, you can see yourself as pure energy and also decide where to direct that energy.

And when the energy of love rules your existence, amazing transformations are possible in every moment.
