The Love Path

The Love Path presents a radical, new, and exciting theory about the evolution of human love consciousness. The author postulates that The Love Path is one of four developmental routes that can assist us to become who we want to be. The other routes are The Truth Path, The Peace Path, and The Warrior Path. While we can change direction at any time and experiment with different modes of being, those who choose to focus on the developmental tasks of The Love Path right to its completion become Masters of Love.

The first part of the book outlines key concepts which form the building blocks to the author’s theory, and explains why modern love relationships have become increasingly complex.

The second part of the book is a step-by-step practical overview of how love consciousness can grow through four maturational stages of human experience:

1. Sensuality, 2. Sexuality, 3. Advanced Intimacy, and 4. Compassion.

Individually, The Love Path offers followers happiness and inner peace. Collectively, The Love Path is a guide for those wishing to create Eden on Earth. The choice is ours.

Following her retirement from clinical practice, Averill moved south from the city of Auckland to Matamata, a rural town in the Waikato Region.
