A group survey on the relationship
between the two sexes.

This book has not been written yet. I wrote The State of Freedom and the The Book of Dreams. This one here I want to write with you together, either you are a woman or a man, and with whomever will make up his mind to participate in the voluntary collaborators team.

1. You are a woman. Do you want to help me?

I shall need your help in order to write my third book titled: “Why Fear Each Other?”

It’s about the relationship between the two sexes. Please take some time to think for a while and tell me:

  • How do you experience fear in your relationship with the opposite sex? What exactly do you fear and why?
  • What fears pass through your mind, whenever an unknown man approaches you?
  • When you are in a relationship with a man, what are the things you fear most?
  • Does your inability to overcome all these fears upset you?
  • Do you perhaps also get a little angry with yourself for, due to your inability to overcome your fears in regard to men, you do not let yourself enjoy your life in the way you would like to?
  • Do you believe that the fear of the opposite sex is our own or has it been communicated to us by other persons by means of their advice, their beliefs and their example?
  • Do you want to recall who exactly were these “other persons” who have communicated to you the fears which prevent you from enjoying interaction with the other sex as much and in the way you would like to?
  • To begin with, do you recognize that you also fear some things in regard to the opposite sex or do you believe that you have no such fears?
  • Is it possible that what you mainly fear is your own self and the wrong choices you can make? Are you perhaps afraid that you will suffer once more if you make the same mistakes again, and could this be the reason why you are restrained with men?
  • Do you recognize that the men you have met in your life also had fear in them and that this was the cause for the mistakes they committed in their relationship with you?
  • When you recognize that the cause for their mistakes was fear, does it become easier for you to forgive them for these mistakes?
  • Would you like to have the courage to dare every day to do things which are beyond the familiar (persons, situations, material goods) or, in other words, beyond the so-called “comfort zone”?
  • Do you agree that excessive attachment to our familiar things and habits confines and shrinks us down, deprives us of joyful experiences and invaluable knowledge and gives birth to sorrow and sickens us day by day?
  • Do you agree that only by means of daily deliberate transcendence of our comfort zone can we secure emotional and corporal health until our old age?
  • How much do you want this transcendence, how difficult is it for you and what are you prepared to sacrifice for its sake?

2. You are a man. Do you want to help me?

I shall need your help in order to write my third book titled: “Why Fear Each Other?”

It’s about the relationship between the two sexes. Please take some time to think for a while and tell me:

  • How do you experience fear in your relationship with the opposite sex? What exactly do you fear and why?
  • What fears pass through your mind, whenever you feel the urge to approach an unknown woman?
  • When you are in a relationship with a woman, what are the things you fear most?
  • Does your inability to overcome all these fears upset you?
  • Do you perhaps also get a little angry with yourself for, due to your inability to overcome your fears in regard to women, you do not let yourself enjoy your life in the way you would like to?
  • Do you believe that the fear of the opposite sex is our own or has it been communicated to us by other persons by means of their advice, their beliefs and their example?

3. Would you like to talk with me about all this?

  • Contact me so that we talk about our fears and how we believe we can overcome them.
  • The above questions are only some examples. While talking we shall certainly also touch some other aspects of the subject “fear”.
  • I’m not asking you anything else apart from dedicating as much time as needed to an issue that may be a burning one also you for you like it is for me.
  • What will result from this collaboration will be far more than a mere book. Knowledge, growth, progress, breath of relief and deep joy will be produced, for both men and women who will make up their mind to participate in this journey to liberation from our fears.
  • If you want, you can also participate in the gatherings of the voluntary collaborators’ team, during which we share with each other our experiences upon the subject of fear in our relationship with the other sex.

4. Your involvement in the book will be either anonymous or eponymous – however you prefer.

  • This is up to you to decide; choose what makes you feel better.
  • I can include your name in the introductory text in the list of the collaborators who will help me write this book, but I can also not include your name.
  • Furthermore, the answers you will give to the above questions as well as the conversation we shall have when we meet can be mentioned either anonymously or eponymously. This is also your own decision.
