"IS IT SAFE TO HAVE SEX BEFORE AWAKENING?"

It was with this provocative question that Santa Monica-based writer Laurel Airica initiated a series of interviews with Saniel Bonder that ultimately became a book. Laurel had just read an article by a well-known spiritual guru that advised against pursuing romantic attachments before one had experienced a spiritual awakening. Knowing how radically different Saniel's approach to this subject would be – and the extreme relief this could offer to many frustrated seekers – Laurel suggested they conduct a series of interviews on this and other related subjects.

In this unexpurgated recitation of the full text by them both, you'll get Saniel's full response to all of Laurel’s questions concerning sex, love, partnerships, gurus, and the likelihood that ordinary people can awaken in this lifetime without extraordinary effort. You’ll also hear the pleasure they took in recording these interviews for you, along with their off-the-cuff, up-to-date remarks on all these subjects.

For those of you still wondering if it’s safe to have sex before awakening, you may find that Healing the Spirit/Matter Split puts that 5,000 year old dilemma into a whole new light that may illuminate the path to your own awakening and beyond.
