Ese elixir llamado amor: La verdad acerca de la atracción sexual, las fantasías secretas y la magia del amor (Sin Limites/ No Limits)

by J.Z. Knight

¿En qué consiste realmente el amor? ¿Es algo real o simplemente una ilusión que aparece en nuestros sueños más descabellados? ¿Qué es lo que hace que nos enamoremos de otra persona? ¿Qué podemos aprender de nuestras relaciones personales y cómo pueden éstas enseñarnos quiénes somos realmente? Este libro trata de explorar estas preguntas y de encontrar el secreto a la paradoja del amor, del descubrimiento de algo referente a nosotros mismos que habíamos olvidado a lo largo del camino. La voz de sabiduría de RAMTHA supera todas las exposiciones superficiales (y a menudo poco prácticas) que se han dado sobre la naturaleza del verdadero amor y las complejidades de nuestras relaciones íntimas. RAMTHA nos introduce, con una simplicidad y un genio sin precedentes, a un concepto misterioso que yace dentro de todos los anhelos del ser «Ese elixir llamado amor».

What I did read of this, it felt like someone's fever dream of a conference. Way too many "'Tis true."s and "raise your hand if"s. This was some wild ramble by a delusional author.

Seriously, be leery of anyone who has "The enlightened one" behind their name.

I feel like a dick but here's some Bible verses that came to mind while reading this. Ramtha cited God in her/their ramblings. (Forgive me if I'm using the wrong pronouns, please.) So I feel the need to share these with the class.

‭‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭26:12‬ ‭NIV‬
Do you see a person wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for them.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:1‭-‬3‬ ‭NIV‬‬
[1] If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. [2] If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. [3] If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

I really don't know what to think about this book yet. It's my first time when I encountered this teacher.
I didn't appreciate that each chapters felt like they're not connected. The same thoughts repeated all over again and again. It was very irritating. There was a chapter about reincarnation and he came back to talking about how politicians are corrupted (wtf?!).
I enjoyed some paragraphs and some not so much. I still have no idea who this teacher is.
The book overall made me feel tired. I read it in two days, the first one felt very fresh and nice. The second really heavy. I needed a lot of breaks in between to finish the book.
I think the book could be constructed in a better way - less repetitions and more sense.

Los libros de espiritualidad siempre son un reto para mí, no soy un lector muy rápido, pero parece que estos temas son particularmente complicados para mi entendimiento. Este libro me hizo ponerme emocional más de una vez y sentía que quería quedarme leyendo todo el día, pero luego pasaba a otra cosa y pasaban días sin que volviera a tocarlo, sentía como que aún no había terminado de entender lo leido. Definitivamente si eres nuevo en esos temas, no te recomiendo empezar por aquí, pero si ya leiste el "Libro Blanco" de Ramtha y quieres más, seguro será una gran lectura. Algunas de las enseñanzas se sienten como cosas que ya sabía, pero de alguna u otra manera olvidé y simplemente la locura de la vida moderna tomó el lugar. Es un gran libro, con mucho material para saborear.

Me gusta este libro realmente ramtha nos explica lo que es el amor verdadero, y el amor propio. Te hace entender que el amor no está en el físico si no lo que hay dentro de una persona y que incluso hay personas que creen que cuando solo quieres relaciones sexuales con tu pareja es amor pero la verdad es que no es, ramtha es muy concreto y creo que todos deberíamos entender lo que dice sobre el amor.

Very interesting this book and I liked it more than the previous one ...

I believe that everyone in life, in one way or another, we seek love. Some maybe in the search for power and recognition, others in the couple, others in the children, others in giving to those who need it most.

For me the most important teaching of the book is that to find love for others first we have to find it towards ourselves. Thing that is often difficult, we hate each other, we fear each other, we know each other so many that we do not believe we are worthy of love ... when we overcome this, love comes only to our lives.

Very interesting Ramtha's concepts about love and sex, and how many confuse sex with love, others actually seek sex and not love, we lie and thus have purely false relationships.

Now the task is not to read but to do
