Mordechai Rotenberg

Creativity and Sexuality

A Kabbalistic Perspective

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Judaism openly recognies, as an integral part of human nature, the enigmatic relationship between yeter, physical desire, and yetirah, spiritual creativity. Creativity and Sexuality, written as a fictional dialogue, clearly delineates the psychic interdependence of these two drives, as well as the integration of the concepts as they are defined by both Jewish mysticism and modern psychology. People learn how to spend the tremendous power of energy that the sexual yeter produces not only on physical sex, but on the spiritual yetirah. In an introduction written especially for this new edition, the author explains the continuing relevance of Creativity and Sexuality, and the ongoing relationship between sexual desire and a healthy spiritual self-fulfillment.
