More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This hard-hitting and innovative book about man-woman relationship immediately challenges the deceptions about love and intimacy rampant in today's patriarchal culture. At the same time, "Radiant Joy Brilliant Love" reveals a step-by-step process for discovering and living out alternative possibilities. The author claims that even the "best" of our relationships are still generally basic level; what he calls "Ordinary Human Relationship". He asserts that two more domains remain to be explored: namely, Extraordinary Human Relationship and Archetypal Love. The book shows exactly how to enter these new domains, and how to stay there long enough to cultivate genuine intimacy, nurturance, excitement and satisfaction together.

One and a half years in the liquid state,
By
This review is from: Radiant Joy Brilliant Love: Secrets for Creating an Extraordinary Life and Profound Intimacy with Your Partner (Paperback)
I am the translator who translated Radiant Joy Brilliant Love into German. It took me one and a half years. During that time the book permeated me with its relentless examples into all angles of my life. It felt as if the book itself was a living being, as if it was bigger than me.
When I have an insight I tend to automatically make it into my own personal dogma. I then decide something like, "Aha! I've got the answer!" But as soon as I had my dogma the book would shatter it with further or deeper insights. My opinions that I built up were destroyed in the next minute. The book prohibits dogma because its bigger purpose is to build in me a more authentic ability to love and to be in relationship. I was brought to a deeper level of understanding which had nothing to do with opinions or beliefs. Maybe you know the feeling of deeply knowing that something is true, even if you can't explain it with words? Each day while translating my feelings got stirred up. I felt sad about the pain that I had caused for people, mostly those I love most. And I felt afraid about how shocked other people might be when they read these words. And I felt also joy. Actually ecstasy about other people having the chance to get these maps and ideas. I thought that if enough people knew these things we might not have war anymore because the warfare in each individual would cease. Tears of happiness often dripped down my cheeks while translating because throughout the process it was not just words that I was writing. I did and do also experience these things in reality, first hand by living with the author. I confirm that all that is written in this book is possible and true.

Unchained Melodies,
By Patricia B. Ross - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Radiant Joy Brilliant Love: Secrets for Creating an Extraordinary Life and Profound Intimacy with Your Partner (Paperback)
If you can envision it, you can do it.
Why would anyone want limited love? In love, one must carve a path to get there; there are no roads to follow except those created together. No one loves alone. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

Not just for partner relationships,
By N. Lewis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Radiant Joy Brilliant Love: Secrets for Creating an Extraordinary Life and Profound Intimacy with Your Partner (Paperback)
Although the subtitle suggests that this book is for people who want to build a more satisfying relationship with a partner (and it is that), the book actually provides fundamentally new ways for creating and being in any relationship. Typically we entrap ourselves in a well-defended box made of unchallenged ideas, opinions, and values imposed upon us by our culture and peers. Relationships between boxes are what the author refers to as "ordinary human relationship," and it's the only kind of relationship most of us ever know. While the book alerts the reader to the existence of two higher levels of relationship (extraordinary and Archetypal) and guides him or her to those higher levels, a browser can gain substantive value by simply opening the book and reading a few pages at random. It's hard to avoid a new idea, an inspirational anecdote, or a challenging exercise that crawls its way into your psyche. But be forewarned. This is a dangerous book. On the back cover there's a disclaimer in a highlighted box that says, "Warning: You will not work with this book--this book works with you. This book is filled with memetic viruses--ideas that swarm through every level of your thinking, replacing any ideas they find that are formulated with less clarity. Your mind will not digest this book. This book digests your mind. If you do not want your present ideas about relationship seriously reordered, do not read this book." Take it seriously.

Choose to Love, choose to grow, take responsibility.,
By Peleg D. Midgett "Dameron" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Radiant Joy Brilliant Love: Secrets for Creating an Extraordinary Life and Profound Intimacy with Your Partner (Paperback)
A powerful Instrument for learning love by doing exactly what its reviewers claimed. You won't digest this book, it will digest you. Reading it is like importing a computer virus that replaces everything in your hard drive regarding love that was wishy-washy and full of victimhood and installs clarity and personal responsibility. The light is so bright it may hurt your eyes. Clinton Callahan establishes a new "possibility" language that builds on and synthesizes previous psychological models and creates powerful new personal growth tools for self and relationship. This book is the closest thing to a manual of Awareness and Awakening that I have ever encountered. There is no where to hide from yourself after you've read this book. If you read it, you will share it with everyone who is important to you and use the concepts and experiments revealed every day for the rest of your blessed life.
