Choosing Love: A Guide to Spiritual Relationship

Note: This book is no longer in print. It has been expanded and republished by Hampton Roads under the new title: Loving in the Moment: Moving from Ego to Essence in Relationship.Having a meaningful relationship requires choosing love over your conditioning, that is, your ideas, fantasies, desires, images, and beliefs. Choosing Love by Gina Lake describes how to move beyond conditioning, judgment, anger, romantic illusions, and differences to the experience of love and Oneness with another. It explains how to drop into the core of your Being, where Oneness and love exist, and be with others from there. It also explains how to recognize, find, and sustain a meaningful relationship; how to embrace and move beyond differences and resolve conflicts; how to overcome judgments, demands, criticism, and resentment; how the ego interferes with love and happiness in relationship; how to see the Divine in the other; what to do and not do with anger; the factors that are most important to compatibility; and how to make joint decisions. Exercises throughout provide an opportunity for practicing and integrating the understanding.
