“Remember that self-discipline is not self-suppression. Suppression is when you resist and fight against your desires, keeping them as buried and unexpressed as possible. Self-discipline is when your highest desires rule your lesser desires, not through resistance, but through loving action grounded in understanding and compassion.”

“Fehlt Ihnen die Fähigkeit, ihre Wut mit der Wildheit Ihrer Liebe zu umarmen und in Leidenschaft zu verwandeln, wird sie genau diese Fähigkeit unablässig auf die Probe stellen. Jede Ihrer Energien, die Sie nicht mit der Kraft, der Klarheit und dem Humor Ihres Bewusstseins in Liebe verwandeln können wird immer wieder auf Sie zurückfallen. ... Ohne bewusst zu planen, gereizt zu sein, wird Ihre Partnerin Sie immer wieder auf die Probe stellen. Bis Ihr Bewusstsein in der Lage ist, Ihre Partnerin über ihre Gereiztheit hinwegzutragen, werden Sie geprüft werden. ... Wenn Sie ihre Stimmungen nicht durchdringen, kann Ihre Partnerin ihr freies Bewusstsein nicht spüren. Stattdessen spürt sie Ihr Schulterzucken, Ihre Machtlosigkeit angesichts ihrer Energie. Das Geheimnis besteht darin, ihre Energie mit Bewusstsein zu kontern, das sich durch Ihren Körper ausdrückt. Wenn sie schreit und das Geschirr zerschlägt, muss Ihr Körper ihrer Energie entgegentreten,. Die Furchtlosigkeit und die Kraft Ihrer Liebe müssen sich in Ihrem Körper manifestieren. Wenn Sie zusammenzucken und ihr mit gepresster Stimme Ihre Liebe versichern, wird Sie Ihnen nicht glauben, Wenn Sie auf sie zugehen, sie in den Arm nehmen und angesichts der Komik des Augenblicks liebevoll lachen, wird Sie Ihre Freiheit spüren, wenn diese echt ist, Sie spürt sie, weil sie sich durch Ihren Körper ausdrückt. Ihr Körper, Ihre Stimme und der Ausdruck in Ihren Augen bedeuten ihr so viel mehr als jedes Wort. Sagen Sie ihr nicht, was sie tun soll, sondern tun Sie es mit ihr, und zwar mit Ihrem Körper, Wenn sie gereizt und verschlossen ist, heben Sie ihr die Arme über den Kopf und küssen Sie ihr Herz. Sagen Sie nicht einfach, sie solle offener sein ,sondern übernehmen Sie das für sie: Öffnen Sie sie mit der Offenheit Ihres Körpers.”

“In an effort to create safety and self-reliance in your life and relationships, you may have built walls around your heart and accumulated tension in your body. Although sometimes these walls of protection are useful, they can, over time, act like shells of fear that block your true love. These shells can keep in the love you want to offer fully and keep out the love that your heart yearns to receive.”

“Without a conscious life-purpose a man is totally lost, drifting, adapting to events rather than creating events. Without knowing his life-purpose a man lives a weakend, impotent existence, perhaps even becoming even sexually impotent or prone to mechanical and disinterested sex.”

“Closing down in the midst of pain is a denial of a man's true nature. A superior man is free in feeling and action, even amidst great pain and hurt. If necessary, a man should live with a hurting heart rather than a closed one. He should learn to stay in the wound of pain and act with spontaneous skill and love even from that place.”

“Trust, love, what we call sexy, who we trust in a business situation, are all based on how open we are. Openness is bodily openness, muscular relaxation, heart openness as opposed to hiding behind some emotional wall, and spiritual openness, which is actually feeling so fully into the moment that there's no separation between you and the entire moment.”

“Yes, you can get a man to do just about anything, and you know it. So, what are you going to attract him into doing? Buying you a nice house? Giving you the space to guide your own life? Or, offering his deepest gifts to you and all beings while opening his heart to God? Are you a selfish witch, a self-sufficient witch, or a witch for the sake of drawing your man and all beings open as a gift for all?”

“The word "surrender" is often interpreted as giving up, as weakness, as admitting defeat. Although this is one way to use the word, we will use it in a different way. Surrendering means letting go of your resistance to the total openness of who you are. It means giving up the tension of the little vortex you believe yourself to be and realizing the deep power of the ocean you truly are. It means to open with no boundaries, emotional or physical, so you ease wide beyond any limiting sense of self you might have.”

“Men are terrified of a woman's depth of love and the energy that moves as a woman's sexuality and emotions. And, at the same time, men want nothing more in this life than to merge completely with a woman's devotional love and wild energy. Only as a man outgrows his fear can he handle a woman's tremendous love-energy without running. And only such a man is worthy of your devotional offering in a committed intimacy.”

“Your woman knows your weaknesses better than anybody. She knows where you will falter and give up. She knows the degree of mediocrity you will settle for. And, she knows your true capacity as a full man, a man of free consciousness and love. Her gift, if she is a good woman, is to test you with her darkest moods, over and over and over, until your consciousness is unperturbed by feminine challenge, and you are able to pervade her with your love, just as you are here to pervade the world. In response to your fearless consciousness, she will drench your world in love and light.”
