Key Takeaways
1. Your True Nature is Boundless Openness
Openness is bliss, though not the giddy kind of bliss you feel when someone tickles you.
Beyond surface identity. Our deepest self is not the "me" that experiences daily life, but an unbounded, stress-free openness. This fundamental state is akin to the silent depth of dreamless sleep, a boundless awareness that underlies all thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. Suffering arises when we contract from this inherent openness, creating a false sense of separation and limitation.
The illusion of closure. We habitually close ourselves off, refusing to fully feel certain experiences, people, or situations. This act of closure creates a self-imposed trap, making us feel separate, alone, and disempowered. Every thought, feeling, and action, when not rooted in openness, can reinforce this sense of separateness, actively refusing the love that is our true nature.
Practice being openness. The path to freedom is to recognize and embody this boundless openness. This means feeling everything fully—pain, pleasure, confusion, anger—without resistance. By relaxing into the texture of whatever arises and expanding our awareness beyond our immediate self, we dissolve the illusion of separation and realize that we are the openness, alive as love, in every moment.
2. Live Your Deepest Gifts Without Holding Back
Your true destiny is lived by giving everything and loving open without waiting.
Unleash your true destiny. Most people live a life shaped by fear, not by their deepest heart's truth. Our true destiny unfolds when we live fearlessly, allowing our deepest gifts to flower unimpeded. This isn't about achieving external success for its own sake, but about expressing the unique way love moves through us, whether as a parent, artist, or leader.
The cost of waiting. If we wait for perfect conditions—more money, security, or affection—before fully opening and giving, we suffer. Every moment is the most important moment to let down our guard and love. Holding back our gifts or closing our love creates an ache in the heart, a slow accumulation of pain from unlived potential.
Embody love in action. Living true to our identity as love means aligning our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with this depth. It's not enough to know we are love; we must do love through our body, breath, and actions. This involves:
- Breathing love in and out.
- Receiving the moment deeply into our body.
- Giving our deepest love without holding anything back.
- Allowing grace and force to spontaneously pattern our life.
3. Embrace All Experience, Even Pain and Disgust
True bliss is to remain open—as you are—in the midst of all experience, both heavenly and hellish.
Beyond pleasure and pain. Life inevitably brings both pleasure and pain. Our natural inclination is to avoid discomfort, leading to a life often consumed by this avoidance. However, true bliss isn't the absence of pain, but the capacity to remain open and present through all experiences. Resisting any aspect of the moment—an emotion, a person, a situation—denies our inherent openness and creates self-created suffering.
Disgust as a mirror. We often pull away from people or aspects of ourselves that disgust us, enacting a lie of separation. This act of closing our heart to others, from a mother-in-law to a serial murderer, creates inner stress and reinforces the anguish of unlove. Disgust is a natural emotional response, but recoil and separation are acts of unlove that perpetuate suffering.
Openness in emotional intensity. Intense emotions like anger, sadness, or fear, when embraced artfully, can be doorways to deeper openness. Instead of suppressing or transforming "negative" emotions, we can learn to feel them completely, occupying their shape and breathing through them. This allows love to flow through all textures of emotion, transforming impulsive reactivity into passionate, heart-connected expression that serves deeper communion.
4. Understand Your Unique Sexual Essence
Deep down, you probably desire to ravish or be ravished sexually, whether or not you have the opportunity to enjoy this depth of loveplay in your life.
Masculine and feminine energies. Every person embodies both masculine and feminine energies, though in unique proportions that define their sexual essence. The masculine essence is characterized by consciousness, presence, and purpose, seeking freedom. The feminine essence is love-light, radiance, and life force, yearning for love and surrender. These reciprocal energies attract each other, creating the "flowery combat" of intimacy.
The impact of societal conditioning. Childhood experiences and societal expectations often lead us to build "shells" around our true sexual essence. For example, a feminine-essence girl, unacknowledged for her radiance, might develop a masculine shell of direction and achievement. A masculine-essence boy, hurt for asserting his purpose, might develop a feminine shell of flow and sensitivity. These protective layers can obscure our deepest desires and lead to unfulfilling relationships.
Confess your deepest desires. To unguard our sex and live our true passion, we must first admit our deepest desires. Do you primarily yearn for freedom or love? Do you desire to ravish or be ravished? Recognizing whether your essence is more masculine or feminine, or truly balanced, is crucial. This self-awareness allows us to shed the protective shells and offer the life-mission or love-light we have always wanted to give, entirely and without fear.
5. Cultivate Polarity for Deep Sexual Passion
Sexual passion flows between two energetic poles: masculine and feminine.
The dance of polarity. Deep sexual passion thrives on the interplay of masculine and feminine polarity. When both partners operate from the same energy—e.g., both directing (masculine) or both flowing (feminine)—sexual flow can diminish. True intimacy, especially in the sexual realm, becomes an art of consciously embodying and offering these reciprocal energies to create a powerful arc of attraction.
Masculine direction, feminine invitation. The masculine energy offers direction and presence, while the feminine offers invitation and radiance. In communication, a masculine partner might direct ("Please turn on the heat"), while a feminine partner invites by expressing feeling ("I'm feeling really cold"). While directness is efficient in business, invitation maintains sexual polarity in intimacy. Consciously choosing to direct or invite, based on the desired sexual flow, is key.
Exaggerate to liberate. To deepen sexual ravishment, partners can exaggerate their essential gifts. A feminine partner can magnify her pleasure and radiance, moaning louder and undulating more fully, inviting her masculine lover to dive deeper. A masculine partner can intensify his conscious presence, feeling every nuance of his lover's energy and persistently guiding her to deeper love, even through her pleasure or resistance. This stretching of limits frees natural radiance and native presence.
6. Beyond Self-Concern: Offer Yourself as Love
For most of every day, you are actively refusing to be the openness that is love.
The illusion of "me". Our constant self-concern—the desire to be accepted, worthy, acknowledged, and loved—is a symptom of our closure. The "me" is an act of refusing the boundless openness that is love, a tension of self-sustenance. Even spiritual growth, when driven by the desire for a "better me," can be another form of self-involvement, perpetuating the illusion of separation.
Life as a full-blown sacrifice. True spiritual maturity moves beyond personal integration to a willingness to relinquish boundaries and offer something larger than oneself. A life well-lived is one where gifts are given fully, without holding back, even if unappreciated or unnoticed. This dedication to giving, regardless of external validation, is a sign of profound strength and trust in one's inherent nature as love.
Spontaneous gifting. When we stop trying to find what we are precluding and start being who we are in truth, our self-image vanishes, and we become alive as spontaneous gifting. This means living as love, offering our deepest gifts in every moment, without expecting returns. Our actions flow from depth, unburdened by resentment or withdrawal, transforming our life into an offering for the sake of all beings.
7. Death is the Ultimate Invitation to Love Fully
Death is permission to open freely as love.
The inevitability of impermanence. Sooner or later, every moment, every relationship, and every life will end. This fundamental truth—that everything gained is eventually lost, and every body held eventually dies—is often avoided. However, embracing the reality of death is not morbid; it is a profound invitation to live fully, without holding back, in every present moment.
Living a half-life. A life lived for the sake of experience alone, or one that constantly waits for future fulfillment, is a half-life. It is tense, insecure, and unfulfilled because experiences are fleeting. The constant awareness of impermanence, rather than being a source of anxiety, can serve as a powerful reminder to open our hearts completely and give our deepest gifts now.
Opening in the face of failure. Our potential is infinite, yet our daily lives often fall short of the grandeur we sense within. This constant friction of "failure's abrasion" can lead us to settle for comfort. However, even in moments of perceived failure or when our gifts are refused, we can choose to open as infinity. Death reminds us that our purpose is not to transform the world, but to abide as openness, live as love, and appear as limits, giving ourselves entirely.
8. Transform Jealousy and Needs into Deeper Openness
Jealousy is the stress of being reminded that you are waiting.
Jealousy as a signpost. Jealousy is a powerful indicator of our false hopes for fulfillment. It arises when we believe that something external—money, a relationship, an experience—will truly make us happy. This feeling is a "sting of false hope," revealing that we are waiting for a future condition to allow us to relax and open, rather than choosing to open now.
Needs as a life-story. The feminine heart yearns for love, often caught in a drama of love and its lack. The masculine heart yearns for freedom, often caught in a struggle for achievement. These needs, and the anger that arises from their perceived lack, sustain our "life-story" and give us a sense of importance. However, they also prevent us from realizing the boundless love and freedom that are already present.
Obey your depth. Instead of projecting blame or hope onto external circumstances, we can use the energy of jealousy, anger, or need to plunge to the heart of the moment. By feeling into the deepest desire of our heart and obeying that depth, we can open beyond our life-story. The love and freedom we yearn for are alive as our openness, right now, if we choose to relax into the entire, boundless moment.
9. Practice Conscious Presence and Radiant Invitation
Light is what love looks like.
Masculine presence, feminine radiance. The masculine expresses as conscious presence—clarity, direction, and unwavering attention. The feminine expresses as radiant invitation—life force, love-light, and the alluring display of all things. These are not just gender roles but energetic qualities that can be cultivated by anyone. A truly present person fills a room with tangible force; a radiant person brightens it with energy and love.
The art of sexual gifting. In intimacy, the masculine partner strengthens his presence by aligning with his deepest purpose, offering undistracted attention and clear navigation. The feminine partner cultivates her radiance by opening to receive all of life's presence, embodying love's fullness and inviting her lover's deep entry. This conscious interplay of presence and radiance creates a powerful, attractive polarity that deepens intimacy.
Deepening attention and feeling. To practice conscious presence, a man can deepen his attention by feeling beyond thoughts and emotions into the open space from which they arise, extending this feeling to his lover and the entire moment. To practice radiant invitation, a woman can embody love's fullness through her entire body, receiving all of life's pleasure and pain, and radiating her heart's light without bounds. This moment-by-moment practice transforms daily interactions and sexual encounters into an art of profound gifting.
