"With
utterly no apologies, Rinella
takes on the difficult task
of reuniting sex and spirituality,
which have been so painfully
severed over the last few
hundred years of European
cultural and religious history.
He courageously refuses
to compartmentalize or to
shroud his lifestyle in
the closet: after all, how
could anyone write a book
about the fundamental unity
of everything in spirit
and leave out sex?"
writes Dossie Easton in
the Foreword to Philosophy
In the Dungeon.

From
devote Roman Catholic, to
Pentecostal minister, to
Transcendental Meditation
student, and finally to
a national position of leadership
in the BDSM community, writer
and teacher Jack Rinella
is fully able to discuss
spirituality in relation
to sex, and in particular
kinky sex. Jack carefully
leads the reader through
the oftentimes circuitous
journey of sex and spirit
to both an balanced view
of human purpose and richly
kinky view of sexual ecstasy.
In his easy-going way, Jack
encourages all his readers
to embrace their life as
having the potential of
being a profoundly spiritual
experience that is well-grounded
in common sense and filled
with lots of fun.
With his usual straightforward
and open approach, Jack
presents the reader with
a well-thought journey through
a variety of spiritual philosophies
frequently using the most
intimate details of his
own spiritual and sexual
experiences to illustrate
his point. Advocating a
holistic approach, his mantra
is that sex must be reclaimed
as a "deeply moving
visitation of divinity"
and one must not give up
or separate their spiritual
practices from their kinky
lifestyle. "To thy
own self be true" Jack
repeatedly reminds the reader,
emphasizing that true spiritual
flows from one's authentic
self.
Not content to simply providing
us an Philosophy based on
emotion, Jack is careful
to include a myriad of examples
from his extensive study
of both Religion and Philosophy.
While Jack's personal experiences,
both mystical and sexual,
provide an intimate and
amazing testimony to Reality,
they are well-bolstered
with references to the great
philosophers, spiritual
teachers, and mystics of
the world. From the myths
of ancient Sumer and Greece,
to the sages of India and
China, to the philosophers
and spiritual mentors of
the centuries, Jack gives
us a rich understanding
of what it means to be human
and the amazing possibilities
that come with being kinky.
As with many of his books,
Jack's insights provide
guideposts that can be useful
to any human seeking deeper
meaning in their lives.
However make no mistake
Jack speaks directly to
the kinky practitioner reminding
those of us outside of mainstream
sexual practices that the
journey is what is important,
not the destination, and
that the journey can be
pleasure-filled as well
as deeply significant.
