An Uncommon Bond is superb . . . a treasure trove of truth shimmering with jewels and a fictional chronicle of the glorious and treacherous terrain of love. With grit and guts, humor and heart, tenderness and impeccability, Jeff Brown bares both the male and female interior wilderness in this love story, and he offers a heartgate through which to navigate two dramatically different kinds of consciousness. We all struggle to understand one another, communicate deeply, and, if we are very lucky, find real love in a real world. Each of us wants to hold our heads high, heal our wounds, and leave the battlefield of life for kinder, gentler shores. An Uncommon Bond helps us to recognize when we must wield our swords and do battle and when we must put them down and make love. Like a pioneer of purity, Jeff carves out the beauty of love like Michelangelo and hacks through the obstructions to love like Daniel Boone. The world needs Jeff Brownâs words, his works, and his inimitable soulscape to lead people Home to themselves. An Uncommon Bond is the Masterpiece, and Jeff Brown is the Master.Accept this remarkable offering knowing that it could very well rock your world.
I eagerly awaited the arrival of An Uncommon Bond both because I have great admiration for Jeff Brown's courageous voyage into dissolving the walls between spirituality and emotional healing and because I have always been a miner for great love and a believer that love is a gift that comes from the higher realms. To read his telling of the hero's journey through an experience of profound love that shakes the very foundations of his beingness is to grow more capable of the honesty, courage, humility, unconditionality, and presence needed to even begin to sustain a great love. He writes this story to move us all forward in our vision and capacity for experiencing God/All That is (whatever words that work for you) through the juicy, embodied experience of lovingly bringing ourselves ready to each other, healing into wholeness, vulnerable, present, creative and vibrantly alive.If you are on a path of the heart, an embodied path of spiritual illumination and emotional healing into wholeness, this book is SO for you. It will not disappoint. You will be moved in your depths, subtly or not so subtly transforming your relationship to yourself and to love. I have grown; you will grow; the ones you love will grow; and the world will grow because of this book. I don't mean to exclude you if you don't describe yourself that way, so let me broaden it to anyone who longs for a great love grounded in the everyday yet soaring beyond the mundane and diving into the liquid depths of love's gifts.Do not think that a love like this comes without pain, and oftentimes, it seems, without long periods of separation, as both the person who leaves and the person who is left do the necessary work to heal their fears and emotional wounds/shadow before they can truly ground such a powerful love in everyday life. Another reviewer described it as the different male and female wild inner worlds and consciousness. It is that, yet it also has Lowen and Sarah in the less stereotypic roles when it comes to who is more avoidant and who is more grasping. It would be fantastic to have a telling of the tale from the Sarah's side, as we mostly peak in on her experience through male eyes of the writer and the main character.Imagine...if the world took to this book the way this country has taken to 50 Shades of Grey...what each of our experiences of the world could be! They are twinned opposites. 50 Shades of Grey exploiting the old power over paradigm, the armored warrior and the vulnerable maiden going into battle that causes pain and anguish, punctuated by a sexuality that is not heart centered and certainly not an expression of our connection to the Divine.We, who are un-armoring each in our own ways, will be warmed and soothed at the hearth-fires of this extraordinary book.
I was expecting better after seeing the poignant posts on this books Facebook page and was pretty disappointed..Jeff obviously has great understanding of different types of relationships, being he is in the psychology speciality of work and I am in agreement with him about all the different types of relationship we are capable of having and how complicated they are .. many people do try to simplify this area of life but it is much more than meeting the love of your life and getting married.For me the emotion was not fully conveyed with empathy and I could not feel what I was reading. Maybe the characters were not strong enough or maybe Jeff either has not fully experienced love in the way he writes of, or cannot effectively express it in writing.. I am not sure where the fault lies. There are too many unexplained disappearances of the characters, non explanation of changeable moods - the reader needs to know why these are happening to feel the emotion. Needs a plot to keep you hooked too, it seems to revolve around them going to endless yoga retreats, large parts of work-time were altogether skipped, when the emotions of mundane time apart could have been further explored. There are hardly any other characters apart from the main ones - and you didn't get to feel them as people either. It is all a bit 2Dimensional which in no way conveys the full bodied, all absorbing feelings of Soul-mate/Soul twin relationships. It is there in words but not in feeling & rather clinical when they start discussing therapy.However the use of Sanskrit throughout was very lovely as were the settings of the retreats. The love dictionary at the back was also beautifully explained and useful to anyone who is trying to find their way through an uncommon-bond type relationship in life.
The most informative material on "Twin Flames" I've found to date!!! It is a 'must read' book for all who question whether their partner at present or from the past is in fact the ONE who began existence in the Universe with them. Jeff Brown has masterfully crafted a story line that keeps the reader searching and begging for more, more, more.... true love in the biggest sense of the word, both personally and collectively! Afterall, a little bit of love can change our world today! Thanks for this inspiring gift. May readers around the globe be blessed and take to "heart" this beautiful message of love and hope.
Strange in the beginning! Didn't know if I would finish it. Then towards the 1/2 way point, it became really a much better book. I did like the afterword that included why the title An Uncommon Bond was named. so a 4 for me/
