This review is from: Wild Nights: Conversations with Mykonos about Passionate Love, Extraordinary sex, and How to Open to God (Paperback)

In Wild Nights, David Deida makes brilliant use of our society's focus on sexuality as a medium to inspire us, "to be smithereened in bliss, opened beyond all limits, loved absolutely, to give ourselves completely to infinity." David plays joyfully, powerfully, and masterfully with his teacher's message, at a level of spiritual clarity that is awesome.

...As with the Medieval Kabbalahists and the Sufi poetry of Kabir and Hafiz, where sex is a metaphor for opening to the Divine dance, this book exposes us to the experience of Kashmir Shavism, or the Truth of Tantra. We are taken far deeper than the genital location, to the fearless state of vunerability where we are penetrated by God in every movement.

...Wild Nights is a radically effective work that can arouse a shift of consciousness in a way that knocks on the doors of Liberation....For those who are ready, this book propels us into the final leap of faith.
