The Soul of Sex: Cultivating Life as an Act of Love

by Thomas Moore

📖 304 pages 🗓 1998 ISBN 978-0060195472

About This Book

Moore brings his depth-psychological and spiritual perspective to bear on sexuality — arguing that the reduction of sex to biology or recreation has stripped it of its capacity to be a path of soul-making. Drawing on mythology, alchemy, Renaissance Neo-Platonism, and clinical experience, he recovers the sacred dimension of erotic life: not as an escape from spirituality but as one of its most potent expressions.

What You'll Learn

Eros — the life force — is not confined to genital sexuality but flows through all forms of love: aesthetic, intellectual, parental, mystical. The soul of sex is found not in performance or technique but in depth — the capacity to be genuinely moved by another person. Sacred sexuality is not a special practice but ordinary sexuality approached with imagination, presence, and respect for the mystery it involves.
