These images are some examples of the styles of illustration
used for 'Sexual Secrets'. I worked from contemporary
photographs, often combining them with other images
to go beyond pure representation and create a visual
glyph to open a portal to the energy field we were
describing. I felt by mixing drawings of modern lovers
with my renditions of ancient Asian art, it would
provide more of a bridge to the present world reader
and make the teachings more accessible. In 'Sexual
Secrets' we put forward the idea that the woman should
be seen as the divine energy of creation, the exalted
feminine principle or goddess, and the man as the
divine energy of consciousness, the exalted male principal
or god.
- "…We
describe a number of methods by which a couple can
exalt physical love to a mystical dimension."
