Have you ever thought or felt within
yourself that something very fundamental to your life is
missing? This can't be all there is, can it? There must be
something more, something so very special that we haven't been
told about. (Page 1)
Let us now trace the evolution of human
consciousness to see if we can better understand the actual
consciousness that we must (choose to) hold to consciously be in
life. We tend to take our consciousness for granted--as if we
are automatically conscious and see reality clearly. Conscious
of what? This presumption is faulty and actually leaves us in an
illusion of consciousness, a pretense that we know what is real.
To really be conscious, we must understand our evolution from
preconsciousness to, hopefully, a full consciousness. (Page 9)
I have mentioned that the discovery of I am not You was based in sexual difference. Yet,
philosophically, look at what we're missing. For example, we ask
(the great metaphysical question): Who am I?, but we do not ask
it sexually! We ask it as if there is some one answer inclusive to
us all as if we were somehow "all the same." Historically, our
whole inquiry into the self has missed the importance of the
initial discovery I am not You. You and I are different, not
just physically but metaphysically. This means that our
difference is incorporated into the order and structure of the
universe. Sexual difference is fundamental to all things. Each
of us are sexual beings, not just "beings." It is the sexual,
male as to female, that describes our beingness. The question we
ought to be asking is not "Who am I?" but "What is male?"
as to
"What is female?" This is the great question of sexual identity
and is the most specific question we can ask of ourselves. (Page

There is an interesting psychological
phenomenon that occurs with the truth of sexual being. It seems
as if this is the last thing we want to know. Tell me
everything but the reality of my sexual self in relationship to
my sexual opposite. We attempt to avoid by any means our sexual
reality which is, of course, our own creative accountability.

A man and a woman alive with sexual desire
want to touch. They want to share their lives together.
The need to share their lives together. Asceticism is not
the norm here in that oneself alone is not procreative to life.
A man wants to give his life (force) to the woman, and
the woman wants to receive everything the man has to
give. When a man gives to a woman, he is saying to her, “I
love you.” Every woman hopes to hear those magic words, “I
love you.” And, likewise, when a woman receives from a
man, she is saying to him, “I believe in you.” Find
me the man who does not need to hear those words, “I
believe in you,” from a woman. Yes, the one touch of
love between a man and a woman is the only (procreative) reality
in all of existence. Each touch is a creative touch. Each
touch is a special touch that lives forever. (Pages 53-54)
Life, man and woman balance, awaits our
coming to it in the balance that it requires. How long are we
going to keep life waiting? How long until we embrace our other
half in the love we comprise together? We can no longer deny
each other. After all, we only have each other. We only have You and
I to constitute and create this one moment of now.
This moment is perfect, special, and new as to our creation of
it. It is full, alive and complete as to our creation of it.
This one moment of now is balanced as to our creation of it. Let
us live in this one special moment that finally completes our
consciousness in our love. And we can do this right now for the
balance exists right now. This one moment, our
moment, begins .
. . now. (Page 93)
