“In the practice of Intimate Communion we learn that love is something you do, not something you fall into or out of. Love is something that you practice, like playing tennis or the violin, not something you happen to feel or not. If you are waiting to feel love, in passionate sex or safe conversation, you are making a mistake. Love is an action that you do–and when you do it, you feel it. When you are loving, others find you lovable. Love is an action you can practice.”
Davd Deida.

Deida is my favorite thinker on love and spiritual/sexual connection. Here’s a link to his teaching schedule. And here’s a link to his audio taped lectures. And here’s a remarkable menu of Deida materials available at SoundsTrue.com.
