How to find that perfect someone
Life is like a magician's illusion: we are
fooled into thinking it is complex and incomprehensible, when in fact
something much more simple and elegant is taking place
We all want to meet that special person,
fall in love, and live happily ever after......an enticing pursuit that
endlessly fascinates---and frustrates---us. Instead, we drive ourselves
nuts getting tangled up in a battle of the sexes, falling prey to incessant
wrangles, misunderstandings, and heartbreak with our lovers. It's a hair-pulling,
gut-wrenching, emotional taffy-pull, and a seemingly impossible hurdle
to jump cleanly. We've all been through it; yet amazingly, until now there
hasn't been a single book out there that shows us how to meet that
perfect someone and bring them into our lives.....when that's what
we're all chasing our tails looking for!
Why is this ideal
state-of-being so damned difficult to attain when it's what we all want?
Two reasons: 1) we don't understand each other (or ourselves), and 2)
we are too busy looking down rather than up.
1. Any understanding
of the opposite sex (and ourselves) first of all requires a knowledge
of our history as a species and how our respective sexual roles developed
in order to survive and prosper. This has taken us down separate, but
complementary paths of sexual evolution. All male and female behavior
reflects this natural divergence, which causes the Great Misunderstanding
between men and women. Women create life; men kill it. Of course there
is chasm between us.
2. Life is an illusion.
It appears to be one thing, when it's really something else. We get peripheral
glimpses here and there of the true mechanics of life in the oblique form
of coincidence, luck, premonition, deja vu, serendipity, etc., but we
are unable to comprehend any order from which they flow, and we certainly
can't count on them---we seem to be at the mercy of these ethereal forces---so
we concentrate on the hard stuff we can see. These 'ethereal' forces
are actually quite solid, predictable, and powerful beyond imagination,
and can be harnessed to our everlasting advantage. They are as clear as
glass and we are mostly unaware of them until we bump into them and hurt
ourselves.

foot in it, be sure it's your best foot." Mae West
The Book of Love sneaks
into this subject of endless fascination to us all by explaining how and
why the real differences between men and women developed; why those differences
cause continual male-female misalignment; and how to work with, and understand,
those differences in order to be successful with the opposite sex. All
easy reading, leading you inexorably to the focus of the book: how to
find true love with that perfect person---something all unattached
people are seeking (and even many attached ones!). It packs a camouflaged,
life-changing punch in the bargain: the basic principles that will bring
you true love will also enable you to control your destiny and achieve
success in anything you do. The mechanics of love are the mechanics of
life.....they are one-in-the-same, and they work. Once you 'get
it,' you get the Whole Enchilada, everything.
Is it really possible
to beat the odds and find true love?
You bet it is! And like that illusion, it's dead easy once you learn
the trick....
