At the heart of the trilogy is The Dweller on the Threshold, the very course referenced throughout the book. This teaching holds the keys to integrating the material: meeting your shadows with devotion, understanding the language of your eros, and opening to the wisdom that lives beneath the surface of your desires. Begin your layered journey of descent and emergence, a return to truth, sensation, and the unfiltered intelligence of your erotic nature.
