The Enlightenment Quest and the Art of Happiness
Award-winning actor and playwright John Maxwell Taylor builds on the success of his previous book, The Power of I Am, in this eloquent call to awaken from our collective trance and to claim the transformative power and happiness that is our birthright.
Drawing on his forty years’ experience in spiritual self-transformation, Taylor offers a potent array of practical tools, stories, and life lessons that help us reorder the events in our lives, the way people respond to us, and the impact we have on the world.
- The Enlightenment Quest and the Art of Happiness shows us how to master ourselves so that we can harness the energy of higher power to surmount the chaos of the modern world.
- It provides strategies for “Sociological Aikido” that allow us to deal effectively with rude behavior, energy vampires, narcissists and the waking sleep of mass consciousness.
- Through a potent array of practical tools, stories and life lessons, Taylor helps us reorder the events in our lives, the way people respond to us, the impact we have on the world and how to attune ourselves the laws of manifestation using principles the author learned as a resident at the Findhorn Community.
Informed by Taylor’s incredibly varied background—from European pop star, to student of Paramahansa Yogananda, Gurdjieff, and Mantak Chia, to resident at the pioneering Findhorn Community, to playing Carl Jung on stage for many years—this book demonstrates how, by understanding the powers active in creation, we can become instruments through which higher power continually flows to advance our evolution toward consciousness. In doing so, we not only transform ourselves, we become powerful agents for changing the world.

John Maxwell Taylor, who has written two musicals and dozens of songs for top recording artists, has a new book that is winning acclaim and endorsements by leading teachers of the 21st Century.

Eros Ascending
The quest for lasting love is one of life’s essential pursuits, in some ways the most essential. But it’s also a quest that’s impossible to separate from spiritual and sexual needs. In Eros Ascending, author John Maxwell Taylor offers a wide-ranging study of sexual dysfunction in society and explains how healthy sexuality can be an entryway to universal love and higher consciousness. Based on Taylor’s twenty-three-year experience with Taoist practices, the book presents an engaging analysis of love, relationships, and sexuality from spiritual, romantic, and sexual perspectives. Taylor melds essential ideas by Jung, Gurdjieff, and Taoist Master Mantak Chia with science, biology, spiritual tradition, and current popular culture to shed new light on this eternal yet misunderstood subject. Not just for couples, the book is equally useful for single people who want to understand the methods for “learning to love yourself ” in preparation for a fulfilling, long-term relationship. Taylor draws on his eclectic background as a successful playwright, composer, actor, and musician in this persuasive plan for converting ordinary sexual energy into food for the soul.
What people are saying…
“Eros Ascending” is going to take you on an amazing journey toward the future of love in the Western world.” — From the Foreword by Linda E. Savage, PhD, author of Reclaiming Goddess Sexuality : The Power of the Feminine Way
“Taylor is an erotic visionary after my own heart. Eros Ascending is a fun, highly readable next-gen Bible for lovers of sacred sex. While Taoist sexual techniques supply the practical energetic methods, he rolls into one believable, continuous orgasm Kriya Yoga, Gurdjieff, tantric ecstacy, Jungian androgyny, Plato, and sexual communion with deep Earth Goddess. It’s loaded with practical ‘how-to’ tips and decades of amazing stories. He adroitly reverses Christianity’s demonization of sex by revealing the inherently erotic nature of Christ-cum-Solar Logos. An enlightening and entertaining must read.” —Michael Winn, coauthor with Mantak Chia of Taoist Secrets of Love : Cultivating Male Sexual Energy
“Taylor understands the role of Eros as creating interconnection. He unites man and woman, Eros and Psyche, spirit and nature, and heaven and earth, while seeding our hearts and minds with a sense that our true destiny lies in reclaiming for ourselves the beauty of love. A unique and original materwork. —Radmila Moacanin, PhD, author of Jung’s Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism : Western and Eastern Paths of the Heart
“Eros Ascending” sharpens our focus on the power of loving consciously and intelligently. The book sweeps us into the twenty-first century with its breadth of vision and message of hope for true lovers everywhere. Destined to become a classic.” —Margot Anand, author of The Art of Sexual Ecstacy : The Path of Sacred Sexuality for Western Lovers
