Intimacy is the most frightening thing, and yes can be enlightening thing. I’m working on revisiting being deeply seen, felt, heard and keep reacting dramatically to it. Hiding. Giving in sheds a layer. Hopefully I can go there and my goal is to share something, even indirectly
I agree. Check out this other Frank Yang video (skip straight to the relevant bit here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6sovQO_b6s&t=4863s) where he talks about intimacy and how it's one of the best spiritual practices, as you say.
More than wondering who meets the all, what it looks like, feels all, I want to know, how does one chose to move forward? You can find enlightenment through drugs, sex, meditation, what have you. It’s not a fixed state. So how then do you move, do you model a life? That tells me something greater
according to Yang, it isn't a state, it's permanent change in your brain. he's talking about enlightenment itself, rather than enlightening moments. I think if he's right and the change is made, then after that everything is brutally simple, you just do what is yours to do and what you obviously need to do, without too much thinking about it.
Interesting frank Yang video. Some truths there, not that I know any more than my own ‘some’. And the difference between knowing and doing. Makes me curious if love at first sight happens to people that aren’t young and beautiful, I assume yes, but they aren’t online talking about and filming it, whatever that also means. And what Love vs love is, if it lasts for a short time or a long time, what is a ‘qualified’ time for wisdom on love and sex? And to what varying aim might a guru be speaking? Thanks for the ponderings
I think we overcomplicate things actually. It's just the unknowable giving to itself. When that is recognised there is no doubting it, but there's also not that much to say. I think that's what he means by Love with a capital L. As he says, the more I connect to her, the less I know her. We can only really know our thoughts and conditioning, what supports all of that is love and our mind is too small to know it.

If he turns into the next mooji I will watch then ;) but he won’t care who is watching…
