“The openness, the love! What lively new language David Deida finds for the unsayable!”
Coleman Barks
Author of The Essential Rumi
“David Deida explains the heart and soul of a woman to men. As a woman, I’ve never felt so understood and validated. David’s work is a key to helping men and women take their relationships one step further. Finally, a clear and brilliant guide to unraveling the mystery of relationships.”
Marci Shimoff
Co-Founder, Science and Nonduality
“David Deida’s vision of interdependence between the sexes is spiritually profound and psychologically astute. His message, delivered in provocative and compelling prose, has the power to transform intimate relationships in to a sublime adventure, a journey to the farthest reaches of human experience.”
Miranda Shaw, PhD,
Author of Passionate Enlightenment: Women in Tantric Buddhism
“There are few categories I know of for an original like David Deida; for his teachings there is no pigeonhole. He is a bridge-builder between East and West, between ancient and modern wisdom traditions. David is in the dynamic living oral tradition of maverick spiritual teachers who, like free-jazz musicians, can riff directly on Reality, outside of established forms. Mark my words: in a future that I hope is not too far off, David Deida’s original western Dharma will be widely known as one of the most sublime and accessible expressions of the essence of spiritual practice that is freely offered today.”
Lama Surya Das
Author of Awakening the Buddha Within
“David Deida’s teachings on this central human concern, sexuality, emanate from a deeply trustworthy source. He has undergone his own rigorous training and practice, which manifests in precise, gentle, and thorough teachings. Many spiritual traditions, including Zen, have excluded or marginalized the sexual experience. David’s work fills this gap, and gives us a mature approach for bringing the energetic, emotional, and physical experience of sex into our life and practice. And like Zen, the fruition of David’s work is openness, compassion, and love.”
Genpo Roshi
Author of The Eye Never Sleeps
“David Deida brings spirituality down from the clouds and back into our bodies where it belongs. His no-nonsense approach to refining our spiritual sensibilities comes as a welcome intervention to both New Age and conservative trends in contemporary spirituality. Deida helps us to get REAL in a world where reality is an increasingly rare commodity.”
Mariana Caplan
Author of Halfway Up the Mountain: The Error of Premature Claims to Enlightenment
“The Way of the Superior Man is a bold and challenging and very perceptive book. The cutting-edge masculinity of these pages is sexually strong and spiritually clear . . . Deida challenges and instructs men to live on their edge, to go forth uncompromisingly in search of their own deepest truths and greatest purpose. He pulls no punches and brooks no weakness.”
NAPRA Review
“Seeing David’s new evolution, I was blown away! He is direct, touching, precise, unapologetic, and so grounded in ‘it’ that it blew my mind.”
Maurizio Benazzo
Co-Founder, Science and Nonduality
“I feel that Deida has reached a new level of poetic genius in his writing, and his understanding of feminine psychology astounds me.”
Miranda Shaw, PhD
Author of Passionate Enlightenment: Women in Tantric Buddhism
“With uncommon honesty and unparalleled insight into the deepest desires of the masculine heart, Deida explores the most challenging and important issues in men’s lives. Covering everything from work and career, to dealing with sex, women, and love, to finding purpose in an increasingly superficial and mechanical world, The Way of the Superior Man reveals how a man can live a life of fulfillment without compromise by relaxing into the truth of his very being, discovering his deepest vision, and giving his gifts without holding anything back. What emerges is a wholly revolutionary look at what it means to be a man in today’s world as well as an astonishingly practical guidebook to living a masculine life of integrity, authenticity, and freedom.”
The Midwest Book Review
Reviewer’s Choice
“An amazing and truly great work—Art. Waiting to Love is stark, free, graceful, uncompromising and therefore new and unfamiliar. I resisted it, except when I was letting it blow my hair back, letting it insult, quicken, and enlarge me. And then it was exhilarating, opening me to the space of love, and the vista from here. It’s breathtaking. Deida slices not just through the surface skin, but down into the fibers, and then through multiple levels of muscle, mind and convention—and then deeper dimensions too—in the never-ending exploration of awareness and growth and presence. I’ve never seen anything vaguely like it. Deida is so far ahead of the pack, there’s hardly anyone around to keep up with him. Waiting to Love recalibrates a new level of dialog about how to live an authentic, embodied spiritual life. This book breaks so much new ground, it’s a tsunami for those who’ll let it wash them all the way to the new water’s edge it defines.”
Terry Patten
Author of A New Republic of the Heart and Integral Life Practice
“David Deida’s writings give both men and women rare insight into the profound and transformative realms of spiritual sexuality.”
Charles Muir
Author of The Art of Conscious Loving
“The results of true practice, in any tradition, are unmistakable; David Deida demonstrates them.”
Lama Surya Das
Author of Awakening the Buddha Within
“David Deida’s work exposes us to the Truth of Tantra. Deida takes us far deeper than the genital location, to the fearless state of vulnerability where we are penetrated by God in every moment. We are led beyond the illusion of doing self-improvement and Tantric techniques, to the surrendered, unlimited, direct state of being the Ultimate Truth in every moment.”
Gabriel Cousens, MD
Author of Spiritual Nutrition and The Rainbow Diet
“David Deida’s work reveals a depth of loving the human condition and understanding its immanent spirituality I’ve seldom seen, even in a glimmer. It’s hard for me to find words with which to express my appreciation and admiration for this unique gift.”
Jenny Wade, PhD
Author of Transcendent Sex: When Lovemaking Opens the Veil
“Deida gracefully illuminates and integrates the rawness of sex, the polarity of the masculine/feminine relationship, and the heart’s true desire to transcend it all. Through the communion of duality in its most obvious play, the realization of Love/Oneness that lies at the very heart of us is recognized. Deida is this love’s true poet, helping us to get real, get wild, open up, and be truly liberated.”
Vijay Rana
The Watkins Review
“I find David Deida’s perspective radical, profound, and extremely effective. In David’s teaching, sex becomes an adventure in opening to love, as love. His deep insights on the differences between masculine and feminine spirituality are unique and unparalleled in my experience. His wisdom has touched me profoundly and I recommend his work to anyone who wants to transform their sexuality and their life.”
Cynthia Connop

Kay Snow-Davis
Author of Point of Power: A Relationship with Your Soul
“In his delightfully crazy wisdom way, David lays bare the essential Buddha Nature and challenges and provokes us to ever deeper responses . . . far from just another spiritual ‘how to’ book, Blue Truth is a gem that serves our spiritual unfolding in ways yet unseen . . . I will be rereading this for years to come.”
Ray Greenleaf
Chairman, Transpersonal Department, JFK University
“David Deida points directly to the present moment in which ‘you’ and ‘God’ are simply two names for the same openness in which the entire universe arises, an openness you can feel right now, if you know where to look. And Instant Enlightenment is the place to start. Dive straight into this book.”
Ken Wilber

Gabriel Cousens, MD
Author of Spiritual Nutrition and the Rainbow Diet
“What a treasure! Singing with the joy and poetry of love, The Enlightened Sex Manual is just what its title promises: a very practical guide to the sexual expression of spirit that is the birthright of every man and woman. David Deida presents an inspiring vision made possible through this remarkable book. I want to give it to everyone I know!”
Jenny Wade, PhD
Author of Transcendent Sex
“Being able to teach and live integrated sex, relationships, and transcendence is no easy task. It requires immense courage, wisdom, and, above all, fearless loving. In Deida, all this gets included in one radical teaching. You’ll learn how to open your heart and integrate the need to sleep with every attractive woman you see, deal appropriately with a woman’s emotional chaos, give your gift to the world and lover, and finally transcend the whole lot by including it all.”
Vijay Rana
The Watkins Review
“I know a book is powerful when it opens my heart, brings me to my knees, and wakes me to the fullness of the moment. Profound, challenging, and poetically beautiful, Blue Truth is page after page of deep, naked truths—an unexpected teaching of enormous value and passion. I have read many books from many different spiritual traditions, and when I read Blue Truth it was obvious: This is the clearest, most original and useful guide to authentic spiritual practice that I have ever seen. No one interested in real spiritual growth can afford to be unaware of David Deida’s work.”
Shana Stanberry Parker, ScD

“Blue Truth transcends the talk of spiritual philosophy, and confronts the essential spiritual truths and challenges of our daily existence in the human condition. This book profoundly probes the underlying life choices that make us alive, loving, real, original, and free, or clenched, lifeless copies holding fearfully to the illusion of security.”

“Yes, yes yes!!! This program is a beautiful, in-depth exploration of womanhood. Listening to other women’s questions and David’s answers, it felt like he was answering my question.

William Holland
“Before joining the program, I was recently divorced and dating, and trying to be more in my feminine. I was reaching a point where I wanted to open more artfully but I was afraid of doing so because something kept holding me back from fully expressing. I knew I needed help to get to the next level of my feminine embodiment. Through the practices and teachings, I’ve let go of a lot of shame around being my full self. Dear Lover has helped me express myself more comfortably and confidently!”
Evelyn
“The practices were amazing. The Q&A sessions were absolutely invaluable.”
Shubham Garg
“Like I said, I came to the course simply because I love Deida’s teachings and I wanted to go deeper. I had no idea how much under the surface shit I was going to uncover. But then, in allowing myself to go deeper…in opening…I have found ways to transcend my wounds, or at least use them in my palette as I continue to paint what it means to be a woman, past the edges, into realms I could taste occasionally in midsummer nights…but now I know they are real!”
Robin
“I got so much out of the grounded approach David took when explaining the practice. I have really begun to understand the energetics of intimacy and how I can truly deepen my sexual practice both alone and with my lover.”
