Love rules the court, the camp, the grove
And men below and saints above
For Love is Heaven and Heaven is Love
(Sir Walter Scott)

Preface
I remember when I was in my teens those were Bertrand Russels books on relativity that sparked my interest in Physics. After that Physics literally became my first love. I used to read books specially on Relativity and Quantum Mechanics for hours in different libraries in my college days. While I was doing Masters in Physics, Glashow-Weinberg-Salam theory was my favorite. The W & Z particles and all that stuff.
My life is riddled with failures both in education and in love. Ive lost the actual count, but I think I failed seven times in BSc. It was annual system where you have to sit in final exams after the end of the academic year. Each subsequent year I worked harder than before, but I failed again and again and again. I believe, I have two rather uncommon idiosyncrasies first: I never give up, second: I clear my basics; from basics I mean, I try to get to the core of the issue. If I study differential equations, I try to find an equations purpose; what it does in the real life? Where it comes from? What its graph signify? And in this process Ill read as many books as I can to clarify these essentials. Perhaps thats why I didnt clear my exams in the first go.
The extra years I put in BSc. helped me greatly in MSc. But then again there were so many new fundamentals to explore. It took me just one extra year to complete it. After I came out of the University, I knew my future in Physics was bleak. The first interview I gave after my final exams was in a company that sold and repaired computers. They called me the next day. Since then computers and software is my field. I switched a few jobs. The last job I quit was as being Chief Operating Officer of a software development company, with more than 50 developers working under my supervision. Ive been running my own software, hosting, internet marketing and web development business since.
The book in your hands is inherently about love and seduction. You must be thinking, what love and seduction has to do with Physics or computers? Please allow me to explain.
My first major love affair blossomed while I was doing BSc. We both knew each other since childhood. She taught me what it means to give and take love from your heart and how to express it to your lover. Though we tried our level best to become one, but we couldnt. It was as if the two of us were up against the whole world in a battle. We lost that battle at the last moment when we were about to get married in a court. You may read more about it in the book. The positive aspect of that defeat was the experience and the pain I got. Can pain ever have a positive aspect? I believe, yes. Ive tried to deal with this question in the chapter titled The Pain of Love.
The defeat I cited above is not my only defeat in love. There are certainly more. These failures spurred me to look beyond the obvious causes and fueled my interest in Metaphysics. It was just a natural transition for me, Metaphysics being an outgrowth of Physics. Metaphysics endeavors to answer even those questions about life that seem to be out of bounds for Physics like, how do love and science correlate?
Ive since read hundreds if not thousands of books on Metaphysics including the books on occult by Aleister Crowley, Mac Gregor Mathers, Dion Fortune, Franz Bardon, John Michael Greer etc. I went even as far as to study the origins of languages and letters, especially Hebrew. It led me to study Jewish Mysticism. It wasnt till I crossed Jewish Mysticism with Radical Islamic Sufism that I saw the first glimmer of light; I was coming closer to find the real cause of my defeats in love.
The Secret movie acted as a catalyst in my research. Ive since followed its celebrities, especially Dr. Joe Vitale and Jack Canfield. It was around five years ago when I (Rumio) got engaged in a discussion with Dr. Vitale on one of his blog posts called The Abundance Manifesto Secret 1 . To one of my questions that got even Dr. Vitale thinking, a gentleman called Father replied: theres a force out there of some type determined to take it all for itself. I said, that force cant be outside, it must act from inside. It was the beginning of my long journey to find the answer to the million dollar question: whats that evil force that acts against us? Where it is and how it works?
I eventually got the answer regarding that evil force after five more years of research and meditation a single most improbable truth , for which a man was most brutally and publicly executed 11 centuries ago on account on blasphemy. Thats the main reason behind the subtitle of this book: Forbidden Truths Love, Sex & Seduction.
I must say, some of what youll read in this book will be very unconventional. I humbly request you to keep an open mind and to give this book a fair chance before rejecting the concepts it contains. Let me clarify my request with an example:
Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era receives a university professor who comes to inquire about Zen. Nan-in serves tea. He pours his visitors cup full, and then keeps on pouring. The professor watches the overflow until he could no longer restrain himself. He says: its overfull. No more will go in! Nan-in replies: like this cup, youre full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?
Please empty your cup before you begin the first chapter of this book.
Its not that the concepts are radically new. As this book took shape, I gradually found Rumis quotes (I knew almost nothing about Rumi when I started writing it around six years ago) and then Khalil Gibran and then others. I hope this book will put a new light toward a better understanding of Rumi and other great mystics.
I must also thank all those lovely goddesses who are part of my life, and who made this work possible. Thank you, Marie, Poonam, Fatimah and the little goddess whom I met in The Neverland.
Without further ado I welcome you aboard The Sacred Seduction. Together were about to embark upon a journey The Journey to The Neverland.
