THE OTHER MAN IN ME
Do you ever feel like two people, living two separate lives? One, behaving responsibly, while the other steals moments in secret or lives only in the fantasies of his mind?
The Other Man in Me is the story of one man’s journey to understand his bisexuality and to reconcile his two selves—one, a respectable husband, father, church, and community leader; the other, caught in same-sex affair and encounters.
Drawing from his dreams, fantasies and extensive research, Shalley discovers the symbolic and spiritual meanings of his erotic longings and same-sex attractions. On that journey, he meets another man living in his soul, one that connects him not only the hidden story in his sexual attractions but to the meaning and purpose of his life. This book will open you to deep places in your soul and help you discover your own meaning.
Through examples and powerful exercises, you will:
Learn how dreams reveal the hidden story and unconscious purposes of erotic longings and sexual attractions as comments on your life.
Understand the symbolic and spiritual meanings of same-sex fantasies, attractions, and behaviors.
Find how to make peace with your masculine and feminine selves.
Discover how to live with same-sex desires in a manner that is congruent with your soul and the individual meaning of your life.

In The Other Man in Me: Erotic Longing, Lust and Love: The Soul Calling, Sheldon Shalley shares his story with unwonted honesty and provides insights on handling the inner man who is beset with inordinate and incomprehensible passions and desires. In a voice that is irresistible and prose that is crisp, the author lifts the veil to reveal the dark night in his soul and opens a portal through which readers can see the light of understanding, bringing into the writing his experience as a shamanic healer and psychotherapist. This is a well-written book that is both filled with adventure and intrigue, a suitable read for fans of gay literature and readers who want to understand those with same-sex desires — the gay, bisexual, and straight men who wrestle with same-sex desires, fantasies, and attractions, perhaps even wrestle with the idea of having same-sex encounters and those who want to understand the struggles of loved ones in this kind of situation. In sharing his story and his experiences, Shalley offers a fresh perspective to our understanding of human sexuality, a stunning exploration that is brimming with insights, enlivening thoughts, inspiration, and advice that will alter the way many of us think about people with same-sex desires. I particularly enjoyed the connection between our carnal desires and our spiritual vibrations. Sheldon Shalley has the extraordinary ability to communicate complex thoughts with clarity and confidence. This is a book like no other, hugely perceptive and filled with wisdom.
