each moment can become a full expression of your core desire. - David Deida

Your only real choices are to open fully and receive their gifts or crucify them and be relieved of their force...But you must be willing to feel your heart's terrors and wounds or else you will close and protect yourself, striking back at the source of openness you most yearn to become...

Intimacy is about growing more than you could by yourself, through the art of manual gifting.

When you do your tasks in the right way, they liberate your life energy so that you can attend to what really matters — the investigation, realization, and embodiment of true freedom. Do you even know what this means? Have you devoted yourself to finding out the deepest truth of your own existence? If, in this very moment, your tasks are not supporting your life in this way, you must drop them or change them so that they do. Otherwise, you are wasting your life.
