Wild Nights: Conversations with Mykonos about Passionate Love, Extraordinary Sex, and How to Open to God
Wild Nights presents David Deida's account of his transformative experiences with Mykonos, an unconventional spiritual teacher who revealed the deeper wisdom of the erotic path to the divine. This book bridges the often-separated realms of sexuality and spirituality, offering insights for those seeking awakening within intimate relationships.
What This Book Explores
Mykonos serves as both provocative guide and voice of truth, challenging conventional understanding of what constitutes a spiritual life. Through brutally candid teaching, he addresses students with an uncanny ability to see into their hearts and minds. The book documents conversations and experiences that reveal how full sexual expression can be integral to spiritual maturation for some practitioners.
The text includes practical yogic sexual techniques such as circular breathing and methods for expanding feeling beyond the self into a lover's heart. Central to the teaching is the fundamental choice we face in each moment: to open as love, or close and suffer.
Authentic Spiritual Teaching
Rabbi Ohad Ezrahi, author of Paths of Empowerment, writes: "Wild Nights cuts through the illusions of modern spirituality into the depth of life before God. Impure, soaked with all bodily liquids, pierced by clear recognition of death, wide opened with the power of love--living as love--in any moment of daily life. If you do not choose to be a hermit, if you want to practice awakening within relationships, in the realm where sex and death are such powerful momentums--you'd better read this book, and not only once."
For Relationship-Based Spiritual Practice
This book is designed for those pursuing spiritual development within the context of intimate partnerships rather than through solitary retreat. The provocative scenes and frank discussions serve to illuminate the teacher-student relationship and prompt readers to examine their own sexuality and spiritual path.
