SEVEN SKYES UNDER

Skye, an adult industry actor, aerial acrobat, and yoga teacher, shares his path to higher consciousness in this memoir.

“Traveling from life to life, breathing the air / Vibrating like so, of music and light,” concludes this book’s initial and eponymous poem, one of many that Skye has included in this volume, which he describes as “the teachings of my current life and an essay about spirituality in application in all spheres of life on earth under the seven skies.” Chapters kick off with translated Sanskrit mantras and touch down on a variety of spiritual topics while also unfolding Skye’s autobiography. Skye reports experiencing psychic abilities and affinities from the time he was a child in Canada, but it took fuller awakening, aided by a coach, for him to transition from a visual merchandising career to his role as a “spiritual acrobat porn daddy” by his 30s. Topics include the interconnectedness of all things, astral traveling, and past lives, with “my body of light taking the shape of each of my incarnations: forty-two fully achieved lives and 111 total.” Skye also details the mechanics and philosophy of “sacred sexuality,” asserting that, “until we see sex for the true divine experience that it is, there cannot be a shift of consciousness, period.” Clocking in at 700 pages, the text is initially rather daunting. Yet Skye’s accessible, conversational tone soon draws the reader into this intriguing and wide-ranging narrative. His descriptions of performing yoga and acrobatics and “the wonderful thrill of beautiful lovemaking” effectively illustrate the joy and power of the mind-body connection. Readers should be warned, as Skye himself acknowledges, that some of the sexual content included is “really graphic.” The biggest takeaway of this book is the exhortation to keep an open heart and mind, with Skye noting, “Let the universe guide you into what is best for you without judgment.”

An immersive discussion with an appealing message to explore one’s own personal path to spiritual enlightenment.
