King Warrior Magician Lover

This book is the fucking shit, one of the few I've read where not previously knowing such vital information seems absurd (up there with 7 Habits). It will change the way you view the structure of your masculine psyche forever.

Some quotes about the Lover, the archetype that gives us our creative energy as makes us want to ravage gorgeous women, seem pretty relevant to guys like us. Often people in the community are way too focused on this kind of energy to live balanced lives, I'm interested to see what you all think:

"The lover is the archetype of play and of 'display', of healthy embodiment, of being in the world of sensuous pleasure and in one's own body without shame. Thus, the lover is deeply sensual - sensually aware and sensitive to the physical world in all it's splendor."

"The man under the influence of the Lover does not want to stop at socially created boundaries. He stands against the artificiality of such things. His life is often unconventional and messy..."

On the 'Shadow Lover':

"A man living in either pole of the lover's shadow is possessed by the very energy that could be a source of life and well being for him, if accessed properly. The most forceful and urgent question a man identified with the addicted lover asks is: "Why should I put any limits on my sensual and sexual experience of this vast world, a world that holds unending pleasures for me?""

"In his lostness-within and without-the victim of the active pole of the shadow lover is eternally restless. This is the man who is always searching for something. He has an insatiable hunger to experience something that is just over the next hill. He is compelled to extend the frontiers not of knowledge but of his sensuality, no matter what the cost to the mortal man who badly needs, as all mortal men do, merely human happiness."

"Monogamy can be seen as the product of a man's own deep rootedness and centredness. He is bounded, not by external rules but by his own inner structures, his own sense of masculine wellbeing and calm, and his own inner joy. But the man moving from one woman to another, compulsively searching for what he knows not, is a man who's inner structures have not yet solidified. Because he himself is fragmented within, and not centred, he is pushed and pulled around by the illusory wholeness he thinks is out there in the world of feminine forms and sensual experiences".
