Eros Ascending | Free Book
The quest for lasting love is one of life’s essential pursuits, in some ways the most essential. But it’s also a quest that’s impossible to separate from spiritual and sexual needs. In Eros Ascending, author John Maxwell Taylor offers a wide-ranging study of sexual dysfunction in society and explains how healthy sexuality can be an entryway to universal love and higher consciousness. Based on Taylor’s twenty-three-year experience with Taoist practices, the book presents an engaging analysis of love, relationships, and sexuality from spiritual, romantic, and sexual perspectives. Taylor melds essential ideas by Jung, Gurdjieff, and Taoist Master Mantak Chia with science, biology, spiritual tradition, and current popular culture to shed new light on this eternal yet misunderstood subject. Not just for couples, the book is equally useful for single people who want to understand the methods for “learning to love yourself ” in preparation for a fulfilling, long-term relationship. Taylor draws on his eclectic background as a successful playwright, composer, actor, and musician in this persuasive plan for converting ordinary sexual energy into food for the soul.
In The Press
"Eros Ascending goes straight to the heart of the matter.
It is a serious book about mature deep sexuality that takes itself
lightly. It is a valuable guide to help people who have been sexually
traumatized to regain their innate capacity for pleasure and
goodness."
—Peter A. Levine, PhD, best-selling author of
In an Unspoken Voice: How the Body Releases Trauma and Restores
Goodness
and

Overwhelming Experiences
“Eros Ascending is going to take you on an amazing
journey toward the future of love in the Western world.”
—From the Foreword by Linda E. Savage, PhD, author of
Reclaiming Goddess Sexuality: The Power of the Feminine Way
“Taylor is an erotic visionary after my own heart.
Eros Ascending is a fun, highly readable next-gen Bible for
lovers of sacred sex. While Taoist sexual techniques supply the
practical energetic methods, he rolls into one believable, continuous
orgasm Kriya Yoga, Gurdjieff, tantric ecstasy, Jungian androgyny,
Plato, and sexual communion with deep Earth Goddess. It's loaded
with practical ‘how-to’ tips and decades of amazing stories. He
adroitly reverses Christianity's demonization of sex by revealing the
inherently erotic nature of Christ-cum-Solar Logos. An enlightening
and entertaining must read.”
—Michael Winn, coauthor with Mantak Chia,
Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy
“Taylor understands the role of Eros as creating interconnection. He
unites man and woman, Eros and Psyche, spirit and nature, and heaven
and earth, while seeding our hearts and minds with a sense that our
true destiny lies in reclaiming for ourselves the beauty of love. A
unique and original masterwork.”
—Radmila Moacanin, PhD, author of
Jung's Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism: Western and Eastern Paths
to the Heart
“Eros Ascending sharpens our focus on the power of loving
consciously and intelligently. The book sweeps us into the
twenty-first century with its breadth of vision and message of
hope for true lovers everywhere. Destined to become a classic.”
—Margot Anand, author of
The Art of Sexual Ecstasy: The Path of Sacred Sexuality for Western
Lovers
"Excellent! A sweeping intelligent study of sacred sex long overdue!
Especially one helpful to individuals in their spiritual and sexual
growth ... and useful to popular culture. Those practicing Tantra
already will find their excitement rekindled, their minds stimulated,
and spirits re-enthused as they move to the next evolutionary
stage."
—Deborah Sundahl, author of

“Eros Ascending profoundly explores the power of shakti and
sacred sexuality as life-transforming sacraments. [The book is] a
journey into higher states of consciousness and ecstasy.”
—Charles Muir, author of

School of Tantra Yoga
"Eros Ascending is one of the few and finest offerings to honor
the concept of the sacredness of sexuality. The powerful knowledge,
examples, and practices in this book have the ability to transform
each and every one of us. As I dare to even imagine a world thus
transformed, the tingle of energy rises up my spine in recognition of
the divine ecstasy all around us."
—Suzie Heumann, author of
The Rules of Love: The 64 Arts of the Kama Sutra and founder of

"For any sexual explorer, like myself, this book is a must. [It is] a
work of profound scope, weaving insight, information, and inspiration
into a rich tapestry of personal experience."
—Diana Richardson, author of Tantric Orgasm for Women
"Playing Carl Gustav Jung in his marvelous award-winning twenty
character one-man play Forever Jung (which I saw twice) must
have had a profound effect on John Maxwell Taylor. In
Eros Ascending he speaks with a depth of humanity and
psychological insight that Jung would doubtless recognize as a
complete expression of the author’s living ethos. This book transcends
the mere scholarly to reach through the mind and touch the soul.
—Dr. Herb Agan, Jungian psychologist and frequent lecturer at the Jung
Center of Houston
"Impressive and comprehensive...a treasure trove of information on
sacred sexuality."
—EnlightenNext magazine
"[Eros Ascending is] full of information and insight. It reads
like an adventure story. I couldn't put it down."
—The Light Connection magazine
