DO IT FOR LOVE

 

The word Love is rather powerful. And depending on how one views it, it can mean a lot. In some cases, it signifies that someone likes something a great deal. When you start combining the word with other phrases and parts of speech, you can conjure up more emotion within the people. Take the phrase "Do it for love." As I have found out in my research, many songs had a similar title or verses saying just as much. Yet, I am sure we all have an idea about what doing something for "love" actually is. So in today's piece, I will delve deeper into this, looking into the chapter entitled Do it for Love from the book The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida.

So as my intro stated, I will be talking about Love, or more specifically, what doing something for Love looks and feels like. I know that doing the things I enjoy or "love" takes me to a whole different place than something I have to do or hate doing. As my mindset, I found and reflected on the book The Way of the Superior Man, a book I have reviewed here on this channel, and you can find it here BOOK REVIEW.

For reference, the book claims to be a spiritual guide to mastering the challenges of women, work, and sexual desire. And being geared to a male audience, a woman recommended it to me, so there is that.

Moving along, the chapter of my focus states, 

"Most men's ultimate reason for doing anything has to do with discovering their deepest truth, enjoying total freedom and love, and giving their fullest gifts." 

With that as an ideal, most men never really achieve that, yet they enjoy bits and pieces of freedom, sharing in on the good things of life: the Love of a woman, the pleasures of possessions, or building a comfortable life themselves. Yet at this level, as the book states, 

"The freedom or love they have achieved and the way they have given their gifts often leave a sense of incompleteness." 

Maybe you as a man have felt this? Feeling you could give more, do more, or that you want to untrap yourself from the loneliness, the tension, and fear and give your gifts? If that strikes a chord with you, then in the words of the author David Deida doing it for Love is this.

"To bloom woman and world for real takes authenticity, persistence, and courage of heart. A man must know the truth at his core and be willing to give his gifts fully. No holding back. He must be willing to dedicate his sex and his life to magnifying Love by penetrating woman and world with his true gifts. This willingness is rare."

You may be questioning what you just read, but yes, Mr. Deida compares a man giving his gifts to having intercourse with a woman and the world. He goes on to state that.

"Many men are willing to poke the world and bloom it in a mediocre way, making a few bucks and contributing enough betterment, so they don't feel their life is a total waste."

This statement says many men are just half-assing life. Whatever their reasoning may be from the anxiety of uncertainties, fear of giving entirely many men just due to the minimum to receive some pleasure out of it or comfort to qualm this nagging feeling of incompleteness.

To remedy this comes in two forms: renouncing sexual intimacy and worldliness, dedicating yourself fully, without the distraction of the unpredictable woman and world. The other, as the book states so clearly, is to

"Fuck" both to smithereens, to ravish them with Love unsheathed to give your true gifts despite constant tussle of woman and world, to smelt your authentic gifts in this friction of opposition and surrender."

Then, my point is that men need to step up and Do it for Love, be it with your woman or in dealing with the entrapments of this world. I mean, we all can relate to the idea of half-assing it getting just enough from our effort that it may seem to others that we've given our best, but deep down, we've only done enough to get ourselves off. Delve deeper, my man, find your truth, find your most accurate gifts and Love and then give it freely, knowing that no matter how unpredictable the world around or your woman may become, you have what it takes to penetrate them with your unrelenting Love.
