Intimacy is an experience anchored into the awareness that there is only one authentic relationship—the primary relationship we have with the vibrational through our own heart. It is born out of the realization that only by maintaining this primary relationship does one have the integrity, and therefore the capacity, to navigate the inner terrain accessed by exploring intimacy alongside another.
In this respect, the other is not perceived as a “girlfriend,” a “boyfriend,” a “wife,” a “husband,” “my baby,” “my other half,” “my soul mate,” or “the one who completes me.” They are instead embraced as a companion upon a consciously-agreed-upon journey into self-discovery.
Neither belongs to the other, is bound to the other by documentation, serves the other out of duty, or obeys the other because of cultural or religious commandment. Intimacy is not about that.
The communion born of the intent to explore intimacy alongside another isn’t a means to satisfy family, religious, political, economic, or any other societal expectations traditionally placed upon a union of two. It’s not about “falling” in love, getting married, having children, and “growing old together.” It is born only of the intent to awaken from the programmed illusion of conditioned love that has been perpetrated by countless generations into the reality of unconditional love.
Within our human world, there is currently no existing model with which to compare the exploration into intimacy. Therefore, as an experience, it is the entry into a new paradigm. It is beyond all models of relationship with which we are currently programmed.
In this light, conscious entry into this experience by two human beings shatters all concepts of relationship as we may think, believe, and have previously experienced them to be.
However, all who arrive at the doorway of intimacy do so with deeply ingrained conditioning, preconceived notions, expectations of entitlement, and ideas and concepts about relationship based on past encounters, current experiences, and wishful projections.
We all arrive where we are and offer our willingness to step into the unknown.
Through a conscious entry into intimacy, love wrestles all our understandings from us and has its way until we end being sure--sure ender, surrender.
As we step through this doorway, the song of intimacy sung when two gather to real eyes what love truly is destroys all of these preconceptions—and in the wake of the destruction delivers the lovers into The Holy Grail of the heart, The Kingdom that awaits all who have the courage to become truly naked with each other.
