Robert Augustus Masters, Ph.D., is the author of 11 books (including Transformation Through Intimacy and Spiritual Bypassing), a relationship expert, a spiritual teacher, and a highly experienced psychotherapist (and trainer of psychotherapists) with a doctorate in Psychology. His uniquely integral, intuitive work (developed over the past 33 years) dynamically blends the psychological and physical with the spiritual, emphasizing full-blooded embodiment, authenticity, emotional openness and literacy, deep shadow work, and the development of relational maturity.
At essence his work is about becoming more intimate with all that we are, in the service of deep healing, awakening, and integration. In all this he works side-by-side and in very close conjunction with Diane, his wife and partner in all things. His websites are www.robertmasters.com and www.masterscenter.net.

Wise man. Especially liked what he said about using our marriage as the testing grounds for our awakening rather than dissociating from our human relationships through meditation in a "cave" of isolation. And about the future "Buddha" being the Spiritual group as opposed to the individual Guru.

Thank you for posting this very interesting discourse on spiritual bypass and the development of toxic shame in individuals. Important work.
