Love is Stronger Than Death: The Mystical Union of Two Souls

Deeply enriched by her knowledge of the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff and of Christian mysticism, this vibrant, provocative story adds a profound new dimension to understanding human love and the possibility of survival beyond the grave.

by Cynthia Bourgeault —

This is a guidebook for those who are called to the path of conscious love.

This powerful book, written by an Episcopal priest, tells of her intense relationship with Brother Raphael Robin, a Trappist monk and hermit.

The romantic yet platonic relationship that ensued between the 50-year-old Bourgeault and the 70-year-old hermit lasted five years, until his death.

Both believed that a relationship can continue beyond this life, and here Bourgeault describes her search for that connection before and after Robin’s death.

Deeply enriched by her knowledge of the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff and of Christian mysticism, this vibrant, provocative story adds a profound new dimension to understanding human love and the possibility of survival beyond the grave.
