About

How can love come through each one of us more fully? How can we give our deepest gifts in relationship? David Deida discusses how the expression of our sexuality can evolve through three stages. The third stage begins when you become disillusioned with trying to get what you want (stage one) and equally disillusioned with trying to give others what they want (stage two). In this provocative Sounds True Pearl, he explains why "it is only when you offer yourself to be lived by something larger than you are you happy."

Sounds True Pearls bring you inspirational and insightful downloadable audio sessions selected from our most popular courses. Ranging between 15–40 minutes each, Sounds True Pearls offer a concise way to explore topics from meditation and spiritual practice to mind-body healing, the art of manifestation, and more. String them on your smartphone, MP3 player, tablet device, or computer today, and you'll be ready to empower your life with the transformational teachings contained in each Sounds True Pearl.

This session is excerpted from David Deida's 6-CD program Enlightened Sex .
David Deida

Acknowledged as one of the most insightful and provocative spiritual teachers of our time, best-selling author David Deida continues to revolutionize the way that men and women grow spiritually and sexually. His teachings and writings on a radically practical spirituality for our time have been hailed as among the most original and authentic contributions to personal and spiritual growth currently available.



Known internationally for his unique workshops on spiritual growth and sacred intimacy, Deida has designed and developed a remarkably effective program of transformative practices that addresses spiritual awakening in mind, body, and heart. He is a founding associate of Integral Institute and has taught and conducted research at the University of California Medical School in San Diego; University of California, Santa Cruz; San Jose State University; Lexington Institute, Boston; and Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, France.



Deida is known worldwide as the author of hundreds of essays, audio and video programs, articles, and books that bring to light an integral approach to spirituality. His works include The Way of the Superior Man and Instant Enlightenment; practical books on authentic sexual spirituality including Finding God Through Sex, The Enlightened Sex Manual, and Blue Truth; and the autobiographical novel about highly unconventional spiritual training, Wild Nights.



David Deida's books are published in more than twenty-five languages worldwide and are required reading in university, church, and spiritual center courses, source texts used in men's and women's groups around the world, and are considered important resources for spiritual transformation and sacred sexuality by everyone from achievement coach Tony Robbins to philosopher Ken Wilber to minister and spiritual spokeswoman Marianne Williamson.



The Watkins Review has included Deida in its annual Spiritual 100 List every year since 2011 to the present, designating the most spiritually influential living people worldwide. Learn more at deida.info.
