The dilemmas involved in the process of falling in love, love itself and marriage continue to perplex and torment. Taking the reader through the entire journey of love with its tumultuous ups and downs, the author helps us understand our psyche, examine our expectations and then reveals what actual loving is all about. Each time the spell of falling in love is cast, a series of archetypal behavior patterns are set into motion. The beloved becomes the epicenter of life. However, this blissful state most often staggers into disillusionment as external pressure become more demanding and ego battles strain relationships. More often than not, the ecstacy of romantic love dissolves into anger, disillusionment, and finally resentment. Separation is the most common solution in the West and increasingly more so in the East. Transpersonal psychology examines the Self beyond the Ego, recognizing spiritual growth as an important dimension of individual development. Using the Radha-Krishna, Shiva-Shakti myths, Imhasly-Gandhy, a practicing psychologist, paves a practical path towards solving marital crises, activating inner healing and sustaining love.
