Blue Truth: A Spiritual Guide to Life & Death and Love & Sex Kindle Edition

First, let me tell you that in the last few years, I have read tons of self-help books, and while I certainly do not regret reading them, there are very few I consider worthy of re-reading a hundred times. *Blue Truth* definitely belongs to the latter.In my experience, most self-help books do little more than trick you into a "feel-good" state of mind, ultimately leaving you confused, depleted, and with a sense of emptiness. You start to doubt whether the advice presented in the book even works or if it is applicable to you at all. What once seemed like rich insights soon start to feel shallow and hollow, like a Christmas tree ornament—shiny on the outside but empty inside. And even if the book offers some real and authentic insights, they rarely have the power to truly reshape your vision. More often than not, you find yourself thinking, "OK, this sounds true, but it's somewhat self-explanatory… I already knew this, so I'm not sure what this book has really given me." Or, quite the opposite, you conclude, "This can't possibly be true… it can't be that simple and one-sided." (Hint: this gut feeling is usually correct—you’re sensing that the author is trying to sell you tinted glasses that restrict your otherwise broad vision to only one color.)Long story short, *Blue Truth* is NOT one of those books. It is more of a poem than a plain instruction manual. It requires you to immerse yourself in it, to contemplate and savor every word. It demands effort to extract every drop of wisdom. You absolutely cannot lazily skim through this book—you have to take it in slowly. I don’t even recommend reading too many chapters in one sitting. There are parts you won’t fully grasp on the first attempt, but that’s alright. This book has so many layers that you will find yourself returning to it again and again. I don’t want to overstate things, but it is more akin to classic wisdom texts like the *Tao Te Ching.* I suspect David Deida was in some kind of inspired mental state when writing it.I have also read his other popular book, *The Way of the Superior Man*, and much of what I’ve written here applies to that book as well. But *Blue Truth* takes things to an even deeper level. I highly recommend it to anyone willing to take the long road to truly get to the core and meaning of life.

Thank you for the contemplative work you have done! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with the world. Thank you inviting us to the love we were created to share! Thank you for honoring the Great One(God for me) and encouraging us to do the same with our words, thoughts and bodies as sacred!

Blue truth is exactly that, in this book David lays out all that is real, the deep truth's of life for the masculine and feminine energy's. No matter how hard the truth is to swallow David lays it all out in perfect picture.A few great insights that I found life changing are, for one how David explains that every magnificent thing eventually fades , all great success can be lost, and that is out of our control. Yet the masculine lives in a world where we try to control things , live for substituent freedoms, instead of finding deep oneness with love and god , to bring full presence into the moment, and share are birth given gift. The second great insight I found was in being true to your deepest core purpose, and that if you have leaks around that, and or not living aligned you and your woman will suffer. If you are a masculine man, you must give direction, purpose, and presence and if you do not provide these gifts you suffer as well as your feminine partner. These are just a few profound points of the book, I love how David cuts through the crap and delivers condense short chapters for a thrilling ahh ha read!! Plus it has a great cover.

A lot of techniques and words and further repetitive themes, worth the money, gender mapping very Buddhist. Along the way talking about lovers scenarios it can get weird when giving advice to both genders. Kind of fluffed out I listened to a chapter repeatedly and still felt like I couldn't grasp the concept. I work around a lot of beautiful females and it's helped to see clearly the way women speak without speaking a worthy read.

When LOML (love of my life) abruptly ended our forever-and-ever soul-matedness after 3 wonderful years, I knew I was facing a life lesson for letting go. (Being 64 years old, I had some perspective.) But how? How to let go of the plans, the promises, the dreams, the ties of family and friends? Thank heavens, something made me pick up Blue Truth, which turned out to be my roadmap for letting go while keeping my heart open. I read it very slowly - like a chapter a week, sometimes rereading the chapter during the week - so I could digest its wisdom. It was exactly what I needed. Thanks to Deida's Blue Truth and Gary Zukav's Soul Stories, I moved through the disappointment without becoming angry or bitter. David and Gary helped me feel positive about having loved LOML, AND about having it behind me. When friends who don't know ask how LOML and I are doing, they are mystified when I say - with a smile - "After 3 wonderful years, it ended as abruptly as it started, and we've gone our separate ways and are both doing very well." Best of all, my attitude helped both of our families deal with the change of direction. I will forever love LOML for having loved me, and for having left me. Lesson learned. On to the next class in Earth School!

The book was originally entitled "naked buddhism". So there are alot of esoteric/buddhist ideas and diciplines promoted in the book. The writing style is very artful and poetic. So you sort of have to read alot of this like you would poetry. I'm finding alot of the ideas espoused to be difficult to understand. Maybe because I know very little about buddhism. I will say that this is a very good book for helping a person to become more open and at peace even amidst outside turmoil and stressful situations.But, if you know next to nothing about buddhism this book is a very HARD read. I will give this book 5 stars because just reading the first few chapters have helped me to be more open. If you've read "the way of the superior man" you can connect chapter 2 to this book "blue truth".
