Author’s Note: To avoid him/her, she/he throughout the book, references are made from the female perspective. The insights presented in the following pages speak equally to finding your female or male extraordinary love.
And we said:
Each
chapter will be a page,
and each page and every line
will have
great import and significance.
And so we began.
How much easier
would it have been
to add words to the words,
write a line and
then another,
allow one page to run into the next,
and build
chapters upon each other, without any
having an essential reason
for being.
And so it went, for hundreds of days and thousands of hours.
We challenged, we
demanded, we evaluated, and we
considered – every word and every
mark,
until we created this extraordinary book about
extraordinary
love.
And so it is.
Each chapter is a
page,
and each page and every line
have great import and
significance.
To men and women,
young and old
and to their courage to
challenge life
and demand all that it offers.
To those who
search for a love
that will be their completion and their
beginning
wrapping their yesterday and their tomorrow in
their
today.
…so that you may add the
wisdom that is about to
touch you to the wisdom that is already
yours,
and you will grow.
You have read, you have heard, you have been taught, you have been guided. The knowledge touched you and washed through you - leaving little more than a trace of real impression on your life.
You were inspired for a time, and then no more. You were sensitized for a while and then went back to how you’d been. You embraced a new system and felt yourself successful - and then let it go. Ultimately, the insights faded from view and were forgotten.
There is another way. You must learn. You must study.
Read the words slowly and carefully, and then read them again, so that you touch the depth of their meaning.
Challenge the premises and test them in real-life situations.
Bring the insights to the lives of others, so that they may be further affirmed.
Learn rather than read, own rather than accept.
So that the wisdom that is
about to touch you may
be added to the wisdom that is already
yours, and
you will grow…

The First Two And All
Twos:
The Story of Love Mates
“And G-d created man in His own image, in the
image of G-d
created He him, male and female,
created He them.”
GENESIS, CHAPTER 1, VERSE 27
Man and woman were originally created as one being with the ability to create others.
Their Maker then proclaimed: Let man and woman stand separately - facing each other, and feel the greatness of possibility to rejoin and become one again.
And so it was established from the beginning of time, in essence, from the beginning of all beginnings, that man and woman would come together. And it was established that there would be a man for each woman, and a woman for each man.
And so, it will be forever.
You will meet the most right person for you. When you do, you will give yourself to him, and he will give himself to you.
And
You will become one.
And
As you and your love mate become one, you will become an outstanding two.
So it was from the beginning, and so it will be forever.
The joining of man and woman so that each, individually, can be complete, happy, and successful.
The First Two And All
Twos:
The Story Of Love Mates
You are a partner to the creation of your destiny.
DESTINY AND
RESPONSIBILITY
We have been taught: There is a Primal Mover who is an active participant in our lives.
It’s true.
He designates potential love mates for each of us, even before we become part of this world.
That’s true as well.
He works to ensure that those who have not yet connected to their extraordinary love will do so.
That’s true.
Therefore, you would conclude: A love mate has been chosen for you, and it’s your destiny to be with him.
We have been taught: Man was created in the image of his Maker, embodies much of His greatness, and is an extension of Him.
It’s true.
Man has free will. He will determine who he becomes and whom he brings into his life.
That’s true as well.
