Intimacy: The Way of Opening Our Hearts (ARTICLE)

Authentic intimacy transcends and includes all prior ego developmental stages and illuminates what’s newly possible.

This intimacy is not limited to human interaction alone; we can experience true intimacy with our ancestors, nature, animals, other celestial intelligence — all sentient life.

The masculine and feminine principles and their contradictory impulses permeate all creation, comprising the engine of evolution itself.

The Way of Opening Our Hearts includes a summary of these principles and presents Intimacy as both the invitation and the outcome of these opposing forces (to be) reconciled.

This article presents a hopeful message: our patterns, shadow elements and history need not come between us and true intimacy. In fact, they are the soil from which true intimacy blossoms.
