Blue Truth contains practical exercises and understandings for finding the Divine in every present moment, under all circumstances. How can we awaken as the bare openness we are, moment by moment, no matter what is going on? How can we honor our depth, appreciate dissatisfaction, express who we really are, allow love's hurt, and hold nothing back? As David Deida says in Blue Truth: "Suffering is only your refusal to open. You are alive as gifting." |

| Publisher Description: You are deeper than your life shows, and you know it. You are more loving than your relationships allow, more brilliant than your career suggests. In your secret depth of being, you are infinite, creative, boundless, and utterly unable to press your full glory into the world. Or so it seems. In Blue Truth, David Deida presents a treasury of skills and insights for uncovering and offering your true heart of purpose, passion, and unquenchable love. In part one, Deida shows you how to open as the entirety of the moment, feeling as deep inside and as far outside as you can, for as long as now opens. In part two, he reveals how to walk this path in the wilderness of intimate relationship, illuminating the art and play of sexual gifting, including how to expertly navigate the tangle of anger, jealousy, fear, lust, and much, much more. In June 2006, Blue Truth was named by Spirituality & Health magazine as one of the Best Spiritual Books of 2005, in the Personal Growth category. |
