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.
“Knowing the truth is fairly useless; feeling it is profound; living it makes all the difference,” teaches David Deida. With Blue Truth, you have an unprecedented guide for living your own deep truth, and awakening “as the bare openness you are, in the free offering of love to all.”
Blue Truth was named by Spirituality Health Magazine (June 2006 issue) as one of the Best Spiritual Books of 2005, in the Personal Growth category.

“Blue Truth is a brilliant book, absolutely gorgeous. Ancient wisdom on sacred sexuality, freed of historical and cultural trappings, glows from these pages in exhilarating, luminous prose. Deida brilliantly lays bare the hidden psychology of feminine and masculine and offers clear instructions for tapping into our deepest core and achieving true harmony through sexual intimacy. I feel that Deida has reached a new level of poetic genius in his writing, and his understanding of feminine psychology astounds me. I am just knocked out by this book.”
—Miranda Shaw, PhD, author of Passionate Enlightenment Women in Tantric Buddhism
“David Deida is in the dynamic living oral tradition of maverick spiritual teachers who, like free-jazz musicians, can riff directly on Reality, outside of established forms. Mark my words in a future that I hope is not too far off, David Deida’s original Western Dharma will be widely known as one of the most sublime and accessible expressions of the essence of spiritual practice that is freely offered today.”
—Lama Surya Das, bestselling author of Awakening the Buddha Within
“The openness, the love! What lively new language David Deida finds for the unsayable.”
—Coleman Barks, author of The Essential Rumi

"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 having read them, there are very few which I consider as worthy of re-reading a hundred times. Blue Truth definitely belongs to the latter.
In my experience, most self-help books don't do much more than tricking you into a "feel good" state of mind but ultimately leaving you confused, depleted and with a sense of emptiness. You start to doubt if the advices presented in the book even work, if they are even applicable to you. The once seemingly rich thoughts start to look shallow, hollow like a Christmas tree ornament: shiny on the outside but empty inside. And even if the book gives you some real and authentic insights, they are very rarely of a kind that truly reshapes your vision. More often than not you conclude, "OK, this sounds true, but it is somewhat self-explanatory... I knew this already, I get this... so I am not sure what this book has really given me." Or quite the contrary, you come to the conclusion: "This can't possibly be true... it can't be that simple and one-sided." (hint: this gut feeling is usually correct – you are sensing that an author tries to sell you tinted glasses which restricts your vision with an otherwise broad spectrum to only one color).
Long story short, Blue Truth is NOT one of those books. It is rather a poem than a plain instruction manual. It requires that you dig yourself into it, contemplate and taste every word of it. It demands that you put into some effort to extract every drop of wisdom. You absolutely cannot lazily skim through this book. You have to savor it, slowly. I do not even recommend reading too much chapters in one sitting. There are parts in it it that you will not comprehend at first attempt, but this is alright. This book has so many layers that you will find yourself keep returning to it again and again. I do not want to use too big words but it is more akin to the 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 read his other popular book, The Way of the Superior Man too, and most of what I have written here could be said about that book as well. But Blue Truth takes that to an even deeper level. I highly recommend it to everyone who are willing to take the long road to truly get to the core and meaning of LIFE."

Blue Truth A Spiritual Guide to Life Death and Love Sex David Deida Lama Surya Das 0600835090889 Books Reviews
- I do not recommend this book at all. The first 8 chapters repeat the same things over and over about being open, giving love, and not clenching, ad nauseam, and it would seem that the following chapters continue this trend. There is no genuine useful or applicable advice to be found here, and comes off as empty new age nonsense, suggesting you express love to everyone everywhere, which is nice in theory but basically ridiculous in reality, and certainly you can live a good life without your head stuck in some love cloud constantly. Suggestions to feel your pain fully with love or exist within a certain emotion, for example your own confusion, just didn't resonate with me. I read his book The Way of the Superior Man and still read it sometimes and find that to be considerably more useful, down-to-earth, and genuinely helpful. This one is just too repetitive and not applicable to the real world.
- 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!
- Every once in a while a book comes along that shakes up your perspective, and provides deep insights into your past and present. This is one of those books. It showed up out of nowhere, at a time when I'd been struggling with a sense of stagnancy with my craft, and with the path I've chosen through life. It shone a fresh light on past experiences that I had been unsuccessfully trying to figure out. And it points the way to new depth in my work and life. It's the sort of book you read with a big knot in your stomach, and sometimes a choked feeling of nausea in your throat, because the stuff it's pointing to is so viscerally true. The author draws on some of the most practical aspects of Buddhist philosophy, but this is not a "new age" book. There's no fluff or overblown theories about afterlives or pantheons of gods. Just practical deep truths capable of kicking holes in your most closely held illusions — if you're honest enough to reflect on them.
