The Way of the Superior Man: A Spiritual Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Women, Work and Sexual Desire
by David Deida
“Your woman is a form of the goddess, taunting you, testing you, seducing you, ready to chop off your head with her wrath if you are weak and ambiguous in your truth, and ready to surrender to the force of your loving if you are steady and brilliant in your loving consciousness.”
Like Yin and Yang, the masculine and feminine duality is elementary to our being.
So if we are to have a deep, fulfilling experience in love and life then an understanding of the polarity of masculine and feminine energies that ebb and flow within us is the perfect compass.
‘The Way of the Superior Man’ is such a guide for men hoping to navigate the world of women, work and sexual desire. It is a central tenant of this book that men must independently cultivate spiritual practices and master disciplinary habits that strengthen the mind and soul, in order to align themselves with their purpose or divine mission in life. It is through this growth, this evolution of soul and character that fulfillment with the contrasted feminine is naturally realised.
The lessons and perspectives David compassionately articulates are insights that men are unlikely to ever encounter through their formative years, much less emphasised in adulthood where they are invaluable in the face of male experience and responsibility.
The masculine and feminine energies synergise to form a whole greater than the sum of their parts. Paradoxically, it is only in the recognition and surrender of the vexing yet alluring differences between the expression of these energies that such a blissful unity can be born.
