ROBERT’S LATEST BOOK JUST OUT!
MEETING THE DRAGON:
ENDING OUR SUFFERING BY ENTERING OUR PAIN
Pain and suffering are not synonymous. Pain is inevitable, suffering optional.
Where pain is consciously felt hurt, suffering is the dramatization of that hurt, casting us the role of the hurt one, stranding us from the raw reality of our pain.
Turning toward and entering our pain — our contractedness, our fear, our distress, our numbness, our unhappiness — helps put us on the road to authentic happiness.
Turning toward our pain reduces our suffering. Entering our pain further reduces our suffering. Moving through our pain ends or at least radically reduces our suffering, even if our pain remains.
The more intimate we are with our pain, the less we suffer.
To emerge from our pain, we have to enter it.
“MEETING THE DRAGON is a courageous and poetic invitation to wholeness, brilliantly conveying the inextricable link between entering our pain and embodying our ultimate expansion. Robert guides us into the dragon’s lair, artfully showing us the way through murky caverns, bringing us face to face with our own dragons. Once there, we receive the most valuable teaching of all — that the dragon’s fire is ultimately indistinguishable from the treasure it protects, that the gatekeeper is actually the gateway. Right there in the heart of our pain are the very lessons that we most need to grow. What a beautiful thing to remember! I highly recommend this wondrous book.”
— Jeff Brown author of SOULSHAPING |
“The language is passionate, evocative, and richly poetic. The message is wise and profound: pain is an inevitable part of human life, but suffering is optional. By entering your pain, really experiencing it, getting to know it — ceasing to resist it, avoid it, or compensate for it, Masters suggests you can discover in it the seeds of a profound shift of consciousness.”
— Terry Patten, co-author of INTEGRAL LIFE PRACTICE

TRANSFORMATION THROUGH INTIMACY:
2008 Nautilus Book Award Finalist (Silver) |
 |
|
 |
Comprehensive, deeply effective guidance for those who (1) want more loving, passionate and liberating intimate relationships, and (2) are ready to work through whatever is in the way.
The journey toward mature monogamy is not necessarily easy, for it asks — and has to ask — much of us. Nevertheless, it is an immensely rewarding passage, bringing us into deepening intimacy with all that we are, awakening and transforming us until we are capable of being in a truly fulfilling relationship.
Immature monogamy entraps; mature monogamy liberates.
Freedom through intimacy.
|
“For anyone who wants to more deeply understand the seeming mystery of relationship — and transform their partnership to a sublime union of souls.” |
Barry Vissell, MD & Joyce Vissell, RN, MS,
author of The Shared Heart, The Heart's Wisdom, and Meant To Be. |

A gathering

| “This is such a powerful book! Written
on the fire that melds the single heart into the
underlying alchemical explosion that rises through
the spine of those surrended into the great unknowing,
the original fire from which we were forged. Well
done!” |
Stephen Levine,
author of A Year To Live and Healing Into Life and Death |
| “Divine Dynamite is just what it says it
is -- a sacred explosion. Masters transforms the
spiritual landscape with the mind-bending freshness
of his prose. With the dexterity of the true master,
he shatters complacency and razes the familiar
with startling beauty. This book embodies the constantly
novel surprise that is the heart of true realization.” |

The Anatomy &
Evolution of
ANGER
“Brilliant, original, well-crafted and most helpful to us who work with
real patients in the trenches... the scholarship is comprehensive and
sound...exceptionally competently written.”
JOHN E. NELSON, M.D., author of Healing The Split: Integrating Spirit Into Our
Understanding Of The Mentally Ill |
|
The fiery intensity at the heart of anger asks not for
smothering, spiritual rehabilitation, nor mere discharge,
but rather for a mindful embrace that does not necessarily
require any dilution of passion,any lowering of the heat,
nor any muting of the essential voice in the flames. |
“I don’t know of anyone who has investigated the theme of anger as
deeply, in so many ways, as Robert has. He brings wonderfully together
deep groundedness in psychospiritual work with anger with a firm
background in a great variety of scholarly material on anger — from
psychology, psychotherapy, physiology, linguistics, the history of religions,
and gender studies. He has a keen sense of the most important questions
to ask and his writing is lucid and poetic, integrative and passionate.
This is a rare study that I hope has considerable impact on a culture that
is often very confused about anger.” |
DONALD ROTHBERG, PH.D., co-editor of Ken Wilber In Dialogue and author of The
Engaged Spiritual Life |
“An exceedingly interesting and insightful meditation on the confusing
question of where anger comes from and what can be done with it, not
only in clinical but also spiritual practice.” |

Revisioning
Sex,
Body, Emotion,
& Spirituality
“An extraordinarily
poetic writer with great insights.”
Ram Dass |
|
To know without thinking, to see without
eyes, to fly
without wings, to die without leaving, to
love without
expecting — such are the primordial
yet everfresh chords
weaving through our living chambers, perhaps
muted, perhaps
unheard, but nevertheless still here, like
wildblue sky behind an
ocean of clouds.
It is none other than our own healing
to which we are being
invited, by all — all — that
happens to us.
Our work is to dance with it all. No
wallflowers. No more turning
away. In the spirit of such radical intimacy,
this book offers a deepcutting
exploration of sex, body, emotion, and
spirituality, with
plenty of side-dishes to keep your juices
flowing.

"An
absolutely extraordinary book....
I think you really have offered
something to the spiritual
literature, an insight into the difficulty of the
extraordinary
vistas of the path that has never been written
before....
I absolutely recommend Darkness Shining Wild. It’s
a
remarkable book long waited for.”

MEDITATIONS
ON SANITY, SUFFERING,
SPIRITUALITY, AND LIBERATION
|
| “Many people who have had breakdowns of
psychotic proportions have subsequently undertaken
deep spiritual work. We have some powerful first
person accounts of people who made this voyage
into madness and then returned spiritually awakened.
But Dr. Masters is the first I know of to take
the plunge with a spiritually attuned consciousness
and return to write about it. This is not a romanticized
Dark Night's Journey....The story of his odyssey
is a naked dance of spirit, with mind in its most
wild wandering untamed form.!” |
DAVID
LUKOFF, PH.D.,
professor of Psychology, Saybrook Graduate School,
and co-developer of the DSM-IV category “Religious or Spiritual
Problem.” |
