The Way of the Superior Man: A Spiritual Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Women, Work, and Sexual Desire

by David Deida

Stop waiting. Feel everything. Love achingly. Give impeccably. Let go.

spend a minimum of one hour a day doing whatever you are waiting to do

Do what you love to do, what you are waiting to do, what you’ve been born to do, now.

LIVE WITH AN OPEN HEART EVEN IF IT HURTS

A superior man is free in feeling and action, even amidst great pain and hurt.

How would you have lived your life differently if you had never tried to please your father?

Dont know what that is like seeing i grew up without mine.

Your edge is where you stop short, or where you compromise your fullest gift, and, instead, cater to your fears.

They lack the aliveness, the depth, and the inspirational energy that is the sign of a man living at his edge.

how you respond to this fact is a reflection of your purpose in life.

Just remember that self-discipline is not self-suppression. Suppression is when you resist and fight against your

desires, keeping them as buried and unexpressed as possible. Self-discipline is when your highest desires rule your lesser desires, not through resistance, but through loving action grounded in understanding and compassion.

If a man wants a woman who doesn’t want him, he cannot win. His neediness will undermine any possible relationship, and his woman will never be able to trust him. A man must determine whether a woman really wants him but is playing hard to get, or whether she really doesn’t want him. If she doesn’t want him, he should immediately cease pursuing her and deal with his pain by himself.

give up entirely on living a life of absolute commitment to truth, settling for the common life of absolute commitment to work, family, intimacy, and friends.

A man’s track record means nothing to the feminine. A man could be perfect for ten years, but if he’s an asshole for thirty seconds his woman acts like he’s always been one. The feminine responds to the moment of energy, forgetting her

man’s history of past behavior. A man’s past behavior is irrelevant to his woman’s feeling in the moment. But men base much on another man’s history of behavior, so they think their own track record should count for something. But to a woman, it doesn’t.

She longs to fill her sense of spiritual emptiness by surrendering her heart and being filled with love.

Feel yourself move into her, your boundaries dissolving so that you become her, utterly aware of her breath, her movements, her emotions.

I did this and felt extremely vulnerable but it made me more aware of her.

you will recognize the Great One, with no boundaries, who is living you now, and who is not other than you.

To truly ravish your woman in love, you must yield yourself in the worship and trust of her heart, which, in truth, is your heart.

a man can’t be stuck in, or avoid, any areas of his masculine capacity or his woman will test him there.

Women can seem to bring you to your true nature. Or they can seem to take you away from it.

Direction in life is a masculine priority, even in intimate relationship.

With compassion, he slices through all bullshit and demands authenticity and humor.

a superior man wants her to move in the direction that most serves her growth in love and happiness. He will settle for nothing less.
