THE LOVE YOU FEEL IS FROM YOUR OWN HEART
""Love is native to our being. When you are in love with a man or a woman, the love you feel does not come from him or her; it is the love flowing from your own heart that you feel. Your partner is simply giving you an excuse to love." David Deida Quotes
ENORMOUS LOVE
"How would you be breathing right now, sitting right now, moving right now, if your body were being entered by a man of enormous love and integrity, a man who felt so deeply into your heart that you were forced to reveal your most subtle closure, taking you open so exquisitely you could hardly bear to open in so much love and trust?" David Deida Quotes
THE POWER IS WITHIN
"Nothing outside of us has the power to limit our capacity to give and receive love." David Deida Quotes
WILD ENERGY
"Men are terrified of a woman's depth of love and the energy that moves as a woman's sexuality and emotions. And, at the same time, men want nothing more in this life than to merge completely with a woman's devotional love and wild energy. Only as a man outgrows his fear can he handle a woman's tremendous love-energy without running. And only such a man is worthy of your devotional offering in a committed intimacy." David Deida Quotes
OPEN
"The feminine is a miracle of surrender, a flower of force that either opens or closes. As a woman, you can use your masculine discrimination to decide which direction to move in, but when you are polarized into your feminine energy--by a man of great masculine presence, for instance--then you may lose access to your masculine directionality. In moments like these, you may find yourself unable to say no." David Deida Quotes
SURRENDER
"Before I understood how to open with you, I tried giving you orgasms so I knew I was a good lover. But now, all I want is your surrender. I want your heart's pleasure to ripple through your open body and saturate my life with your love. Your body's openness to love's flow draws me into you, and through your heart's surrender I am opened to the love that lives as the universe. Whether you have an orgasm or not while we make love, your body's trust and devotional openness is my secret doorway to love's deepest bliss."
David Deida Quotes
LOVE WITHOUT LIMITS
"Surrender means to love without limits. It means to relax your guard so your lover can feel your core--authentic, unhidden, and undefended. Your muscles relax. Your breath becomes full. Your body and heart willingly open to your lover. If you are hurt, then you are hurt, but in any case you practice to remain open and full, like the ocean. Surrender is the doorway to the deepest possible sex. Each purpose, each mission, is meant to be fully lived to the point where it becomes empty, boring, and useless. Then it should be discarded. This is a sign of growth, but you may mistake it for a sign of failure." David Deida Quotes
BE MORE LOVING
"As a body in a world, here is our choice: we can be more loving or less loving. That's it. We can relax as the entire moment's show of love's swirl, feeling open as all--a vicious rainstorm, tweeting birds, our lover's lips, a sense of worthlessness--or we can close to some aspect of experience, pulling away as if we were separate."
David Deida Quotes
TRUE SURRENDER
"True surrender is true power: the love-force that moves the universe is also the love-force that breathes your breath and beats your heart. When fear dissolves, you no longer separate yourself from this single flow of immense force. Love is continuity with infinite life-force, a oneness of being with no separation. Opening sexually is opening to this flow of life-force. And love is the key to this opening."
David Deida Quotes
DEEP PLEASURE
One of the deepest feminine pleasures is when a man stands full, present, and unreactive in the midst of his woman’s emotional storms. When he stays present with her, and loves her through the layers of wildness and closure, then she feels his trustability, and she can relax."~David Deida
OPEN TO LIFE
"Right now, and in every now-moment, you are either closing or opening. You are either stressfully waiting for something - more money, security, affection - or you are living from your deep heart, opening as the entire moment, and giving what you most deeply desire to give, without waiting."~David Deida
LIFE IS FEMININE
“Life itself is the feminine….whenever you are feeling isolated and weary, feel the present moment as if it were a woman.”~David Deida
REACH OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE
“In any given moment, a man’s growth is optimized if he leans just beyond his edge, his capacity, his fear. He should not be too lazy, happily stagnating in the zone of security and comfort. Nor should he push far beyond his edge, stressing himself unnecessarily, unable to metabolize his experience. He should lean just slightly beyond the edge of fear and discomfort. Constantly. In everything he does.”~David Deida
ALIGN WITH YOUR PURPOSE
“If you don’t know your purpose, discover it, now. The core of your life is your purpose. Everything in your life, from your diet to your career, must be aligned with your purpose if you are to act with coherence and integrity in the world. If you know your purpose, your deepest desire, then the secret of success is to discipline your life so that you support your deepest purpose and minimize distractions and detours.”
GIVE YOUR DEEPEST GIFTS
"Feminine and masculine needs for appreciation grow through levels, from self-doubt, to self-assurance, to self-giving. At the lower levels, a relationship can be rife with neediness: you are needy for constant reassurance that you are loved, desired, and attractive, and your masculine partner is needy for your admiration of his success and attainments. The middle levels of growth involve developing self-appreciation, self-acceptance, and self-admiration. The higher levels of growth involve surrendering open and giving your deepest gifts of love and freedom--in spite of whether you feel appreciated by others or yourself."~David Deida
YOUR LOVE FLOWS FROM YOUR OWN HEART
"Love is native to our being. When you are in love with a man or a woman, the love you feel does not come from him or her;
it is the love flowing from your own heart that you feel. Your partner is simply giving you an excuse to
love."David Deida
