Emily, before my time, some famous teachers have visited FF: Byron Katie,
Gangaji, Francis Lucille. But David Deida and his then wife Sofia were in a
slightly different category, being teachers with a focus on intimate
relationships. David had been some kind of physics genius before he set off
Well, Doc, you asked me who David Deida is so I thought a video of him teaching
was a really good way to answer that. Anyway, his ex wife Sofia Diaz is at 42
seconds, in the audience, a dark haired woman bt a bald guy and a blond woman.

Share, I'm glad that David is famous and has explored and marketed the path for
men and women to spiritual sex. Whatever works and I'm glad that some of us
and you, personally, benefited. I have nothing against him; I don't know him.
I guess spiritual sex won't keep a marriage intact,
Doc, in all the years he came to FF, I never once saw David Deida hit on one of
his students. AND I never heard any rumors either which is saying a lot in a
rumor rich place like FF. He describes himself as a monogamist by choice and
because of the integrity I've seen him express, I believe
Emily, sometimes I'm aware of the incredible silence of FF and sometimes I'm
not. That's fine with me but it was nice to hear David Deida comment on it
because I have a lot of respect for him.
BTW, it wasn't my statement about karma so no credibility was needed. It was
Deida's.

And no need for you Emily to move into projection! Anyway, yes, total brain
integration, worthy goal, etc.

Thank you, Seraphita for supplying the specific context of the dance. Adds a
layer of poignancy to the scene. One of my favorite tantric teachers, David
Deida spoke about the karma the puritanical Brits incurred by their repression
of all that was natural and healthy in the Indian culture.
We
Ann, the Brits karma according to Deida, was to continue being puritanical
about sexuality with all the misery that such an attitude causes.
Ann wrote: Yes? What karma did they incur exactly? Tell us more specifically
what
things occurred to the Brits karmically that were the result of their
Well Emily, if everybody in Funny Farm Lounge was serious all the time, how
boring that would be!

I am not so sure the Brits are that Puritanical actually. The Victorian era
Brits of a certain class might have pretended they were. I think the British
are some of the most charmingly twisted people around - sexually and otherwise.
Ann, they were puritanical but more importantly, in this karmic context, they
attempted to force their puritanical beliefs, etc. on the people of India. Any
use of force I think carries greater karmic impact: what goes around, comes
around. I'm sure all conquerors attempt to squash the culture
The film The Chess Players, directed by Satyajit Ray, includes a
dance sequence - an authentic Kathak dance (Hindi: ) one
of the eight forms of Indian classical dance. One of my favourite
dance scenes. I hope you enjoy.
I've never been a fan of traditional Indian dance, precisely
