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, necessarily. I'm sure that his comment on the "incredible silence" in FF helped validate for you that it *is*, in fact "incredible" and "silent" there in Fairfield. What struck me as funny was the manner in which you touted out his name to provide credibility for your statement on the karma of the Brits. I wonder what the karma is of the US conquerors who tried to destroy the Native American culture? Maybe Gangaji knows.
Now, given my poor display of manners towards my favorite mean girl Bob the other night (although I really was only teasing him), and given the way he turned it around and got "right to the heart of the matter" as always, I have decided to take the advice I was giving you and work on connecting *my* mind and heart and therefore have relegated myself to the den for a little quiet meditation of undetermined length. Here I go, walking off the stage....:) ________________________________ From: sharelong60 <sharelon...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, September 8, 2013 4:33 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: A dance scene that always transports me to paradise 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 on a spiritual path. I think Adida was one of his main teachers and he and Ken Wilbur are buddies, just to put him in a maybe better known context. Anyway, some of us in FF very much benefited from the work David and Sofia did with us which was over 15 years ago now. They are no longer married. Sofia teaches yoga and David continues giving workshops, but not so often as they once did. His books are pretty powerful. He's one teacher who commented on the incredible silence in FF.

I'm full of nonsense too. Share wrote: Well Emily, if everybody in Funny Farm Lounge was serious all the time, how boring that would be!
