I have been reading Ken Wilber and David Deida for a few years now and subscribe to sites like Enlightenment Now, New Dimensions and I also receive the Enlightenment magazine. The last magazine which was investigating the idea of sacred sexuality, sex and enlightenment etc. The magazine featured an article on One Taste and OMs - orgasmic meditation, which led me to their website and Thomas Moore. Now that you have cropped up amongst the calibre of conscious beings such as Wilber, Cohen and Deida, I decided to add you, via Barque to my list. Ciao Dianne

I'm not sure the best method of discussing Thomas' latest book....chapter by chapter? Or perhaps discuss any concept that made an impression?

Yes, I would enjoy that!

Thanks!

I actually hadn't thought about Thomas Moore for a long while, but this morning a friend emailed me about some DVD she whats me to see, called "The Shadow Effect Movie." I looked it up and found that the filmmaker is a popular self-help guide, Debbie Ford, though I'd never heard of her. She appears to base a lot of what she does on the "shadow effect," kind of a pop version of Jung.

It all made me remember how much I love Thomas Moore's writing, so I looked at Amazon to see what he's written lately, bought a few books, then wondered if he has a blog, which brought me to Barque. And that's my story. ;-)

I usually cringe at self help books, and am not eager to put time into the Debbie Ford DVD my friend is recommending. Do any of you have any experience with her work? Is there anything worthwhile there? My taste usually runs to Moore, Pema Chodron, Steven Levine, etc.
