- 4:08the
- 4:08people
- 4:08who
- 4:09want
- 4:09to
- 4:09learn
- 4:09about
- 4:09it.
- 4:10You
- 4:10did
- 4:10mention
- 4:11how
- 4:11you
- 4:11tried
- 4:11to
- 4:12do
- 4:12that
- 4:12mathematically
- 4:13at
- 4:13one
- 4:13point.
- 4:13And
- 4:13you
- 4:14just
- 4:14said
- 4:14too
- 4:14many
- 4:14variables,
- 4:15forget
- 4:16about
- 4:16it.
- 4:16I
- 4:16couldn't
- 4:17do
- 4:17it.
- 4:17Yeah,
- 4:17I
- 4:17couldn't
- 4:18do
- 4:18it.
- 4:18Lately
- 4:19I've
- 4:19been
- 4:19talking
- 4:19to
- 4:19a
- 4:20friend,
- 4:20a
- 4:20mathematician
- 4:21friend.
- 4:21I
- 4:21think,
- 4:21well,
- 4:22maybe
- 4:22we'll
- 4:22come.
- 4:23You
- 4:23could
- 4:23use
- 4:23a
- 4:24quantum
- 4:24field
- 4:25mathematics
- 4:26in
- 4:26a
- 4:26math
- 4:27work.
- 4:27He
- 4:27thought
- 4:27that
- 4:28I
- 4:28don't
- 4:28know,
- 4:28it's
- 4:29possible.
- 4:30Well,
- 4:30I'm
- 4:30going
- 4:30to

- 4:31see
- 4:31whether
- 4:31we
- 4:32can
- 4:32do
- 4:32it.
- 4:33Because
- 4:33the
- 4:33variables
- 4:34are
- 4:34not
- 4:34physical.
- 4:35That's
- 4:35the
- 4:35problem.
- 4:36That's
- 4:36a
- 4:37problem,
- 4:37yeah.
- 4:38How
- 4:38can
- 4:38you

- 4:39you
- 4:40put
- 4:40non
- 4:41physical
- 4:41variable
- 4:42into

- 4:47important
- 4:47thing
- 4:48is
- 4:48that
- 4:49that
- 4:49brings

- 12:19a
- 12:19divine
- 12:20intimacy

- 12:22like
- 12:22you're
- 12:22just

- 12:29Yeah.
- 12:30I'm
- 12:30glad
- 12:30you're
- 12:30bringing
- 12:31in
- 12:31the
- 12:31question
- 12:32of
- 12:32the
- 12:32intimacy
- 12:33because
- 12:34that
- 12:34is
- 12:34one
- 12:35of
- 12:35the.
- 12:35I
- 12:36mean
- 12:37poets
- 12:37talk
- 12:38about
- 12:38intimacy
- 12:39with
- 12:39the
- 12:40beloved.
- 12:41But
- 12:41here
- 12:41is
- 12:42the
- 12:42beloved
- 12:43intimate
- 12:43with
- 12:44everything
- 12:45that
- 12:45the
- 12:45beloved
- 12:46nature.
- 12:48We
- 12:49talked
- 12:49about
- 12:49the
- 12:49emptiness,
- 12:50the
- 12:51non
- 12:51beingness.
- 12:52But
- 12:53also
- 12:53the
- 12:54beloved
- 12:54is
- 12:54not
- 12:55just
- 12:55non
- 12:55beingness.
- 12:56There'll
- 12:56be
- 12:56no
- 12:57experience.
- 12:57There's
- 12:58non
- 12:58beingness
- 12:59that
- 12:59is
- 12:59inseparable
- 13:00from
- 13:01beingness,
- 13:01from
- 13:02consciousness.
- 13:03And
- 13:03that
- 13:04quality
- 13:04of
- 13:04consciousness
- 13:05has
- 13:05the
- 13:05sense
- 13:06of
- 13:06intimacy,
- 13:07the
- 13:07feeling
- 13:07that
- 13:08people
- 13:08call
- 13:08intimacy
- 13:09but
- 13:09heal
- 13:10in
- 13:10a
- 13:10really
- 13:11pure
- 13:11way.
- 13:12Pure
- 13:13intimacy.
- 13:13So
- 13:14a
- 13:14pure
- 13:14intimacy
- 13:15fills
- 13:15the
- 13:15whole
- 13:16universe.
- 13:17The
- 13:17beloved
- 13:18is
- 13:18intimate
- 13:19with
- 13:20all
- 13:21things
- 13:22in
- 13:22the
- 13:23universe.
- 13:24Intimate
- 13:25with
- 13:25people,
- 13:26intimate
- 13:26with
- 13:27rocks,
- 13:27intimate
- 13:27with
- 13:28the
- 13:28stars.
- 13:29Because
- 13:29it's
- 13:29nature,
- 13:30intimacy.
- 13:31And
- 13:31it
- 13:31pervades
- 13:32everything.
- 13:33It's
- 13:33the
- 13:33inner
- 13:33nature
- 13:34of
- 13:34everything.
- 13:35So
- 13:35the
- 13:35intimacy
- 13:36is
- 13:37experiencing
- 13:38emptiness
- 13:39from
- 13:39the
- 13:39perspective

- 13:42path
- 13:43of
- 13:43love,
- 13:43the
- 13:43emptiness
- 13:44might
- 13:44not
- 13:44just
- 13:44feel
- 13:45like
- 13:45pure
- 13:46clear
- 13:46awareness.
- 13:47But
- 13:48when
- 13:48you
- 13:48go
- 13:48through
- 13:49the
- 13:49path
- 13:49of
- 13:49love
- 13:50and
- 13:50the
- 13:50emptiness
- 13:51has
- 13:52a
- 13:52sense
- 13:52of
- 13:53intimacy
- 13:53with
- 13:54it.
- 13:55There
- 13:55is
- 13:55awareness
- 13:56and
- 13:56consciousness,
- 13:56but
- 13:57intimacy,
- 13:57because
- 13:57there's
- 13:58heart
- 13:58here
- 13:59the
- 13:59heart
- 14:00is
- 14:00included.
- 14:01The
- 14:01path
- 14:01of
- 14:01the
- 14:02mind
- 14:02might
- 14:02not
- 14:03open
- 14:03the
- 14:03heart
- 14:04completely.
- 14:04The
- 14:05heart,
- 14:05I
- 14:05mean,

- 14:08about
- 14:08compassion
- 14:09and
- 14:09all
- 14:09that.
- 14:10But
- 14:10it's
- 14:11not
- 14:11like
- 14:12it's
- 14:12the
- 14:12universal
- 14:13compassion
- 14:13and
- 14:14could
- 14:14be
- 14:15overwhelming
- 14:15compassion
- 14:16as
- 14:16some
- 14:16of
- 14:16the
- 14:17Tibetan
- 14:17masters
- 14:18talk
- 14:18about.
- 14:19But
- 14:19there's
- 14:20no
- 14:20mention
- 14:21about
- 14:21intimacy
- 14:22with
- 14:22everything.
- 14:24Maybe
- 14:24it's
- 14:24mentioned
- 14:25someplace.
- 14:25Maybe
- 14:26Longchampa
- 14:27said
- 14:27it
- 14:28someplace.
- 14:28You
- 14:28know,
- 14:28Raja
- 14:29will
- 14:29know.
- 14:29He's
- 14:29read
- 14:30all
- 14:30his
- 14:30books.
- 14:31But
- 14:31the
- 14:31intimacy
- 14:31is
- 14:32not
- 14:32emotional
- 14:33intimacy.
- 14:34It
- 14:34is
- 14:34an
- 14:34essential
- 14:35intimacy.
- 14:36Intimacy,
- 14:36pure
- 14:37consciousness
- 14:38is
- 14:38pure

- 14:40Feel

- 14:43distance
- 14:44has
- 14:44love
- 14:44in
- 14:45it.
- 14:45So
- 14:45it
- 14:45has
- 14:46a
- 14:46softness
- 14:46and
- 14:47a
- 14:47tenderness

- 14:59nuances
- 15:00to

- 15:09with
- 15:09everything.
- 15:10And
- 15:10it's
- 15:10interesting
- 15:11because

- 15:12turns
- 15:13out
- 15:13to

- 15:24It's
- 15:24the
- 15:24beloved
- 15:25but
- 15:25also
- 15:25the
- 15:25nature
- 15:26of

- 15:47one
- 15:47of
- 15:47the
- 15:47chapters,
- 15:48the
- 15:49primal
- 15:49cavity.
- 15:50Roger,
- 15:50you
- 15:51probably
- 15:51remember
- 15:51that,
- 15:52that
- 15:53wishing.
- 15:53There's
- 15:53a
- 15:53primal
- 15:54cavity,
- 15:55which
- 15:55is
- 15:55again,
- 15:56a
- 15:56Freudian
- 15:56concept,
- 15:58like
- 15:59many
- 15:59people
- 16:00have
- 16:00sometime
- 16:01when
- 16:01they
- 16:01go
- 16:02deep
- 16:02inside
- 16:02themselves,
- 16:03they
- 16:03want
- 16:04to
- 16:04crawl
- 16:04back
- 16:04in
- 16:05their
- 16:05mother's
- 16:05womb.
- 16:06It's
- 16:06a
- 16:06deep
- 16:06wish.
- 16:07You
- 16:07want
- 16:07to
- 16:07go
- 16:07back
- 16:07because
- 16:08it
- 16:08felt
- 16:08heavily
- 16:09there
- 16:09and
- 16:10no
- 16:11problems.
- 16:11And
- 16:12there's
- 16:13the
- 16:13regressive.
- 16:14He
- 16:14calls
- 16:14it
- 16:15the
- 16:15regressive
- 16:15wish,
- 16:17which
- 16:17is
- 16:17the
- 16:17primal
- 16:18cavity,
- 16:18the
- 16:18regressive
- 16:19wish
- 16:19to
- 16:19go
- 16:19back
- 16:20to
- 16:20the
- 16:20womb.
- 16:21And
- 16:22it
- 16:22is
- 16:22really
- 16:23underlying
- 16:24that
- 16:24regressive
- 16:25wish
- 16:26is
- 16:26the
- 16:27wish
- 16:27to
- 16:27go
- 16:28into
- 16:28the
- 16:28emptiness,
- 16:29because
- 16:29emptiness
- 16:29is
- 16:30dark,
- 16:31black.
- 16:33So
- 16:33the
- 16:33primal
- 16:34cavity
- 16:35that
- 16:36I
- 16:36remember
- 16:36myself
- 16:37experiencing
- 16:37thinking,
- 16:38dark
- 16:39hole,
- 16:40I'm
- 16:40going
- 16:40to
- 16:40crawl
- 16:41into
- 16:41whatever.
- 16:42But
- 16:43then
- 16:43when
- 16:43I
- 16:43found
- 16:44out
- 16:44what
- 16:44is
- 16:44its
- 16:45nature,
- 16:45it's
- 16:45completely
- 16:46empty.
- 16:47Total
- 16:49emptiness
- 16:49that
- 16:49is
- 16:50so
- 16:50clear,
- 16:50so
- 16:51pure,
- 16:52so
- 16:53nothing
- 16:53there.
- 16:54It's
- 16:54nothing
- 16:54to
- 16:55do
- 16:55with
- 16:55my
- 16:55mother's
- 16:56womb.
- 16:56So
- 16:57that's
- 16:57again,
- 16:58Freud
- 16:59bringing
- 16:59in
- 17:00something
- 17:00universal
- 17:02that
- 17:02most
- 17:03people
- 17:03don't
- 17:04understand.
- 17:05Yeah.
- 17:05Oh,
- 17:06he
- 17:06was
- 17:06full
- 17:06of
- 17:07shit.
- 17:07What's
- 17:07this
- 17:07primal
- 17:08cavity,
- 17:08wanting
- 17:09to
- 17:09go
- 17:09back
- 17:10to
- 17:10the
- 17:10womb?
- 17:11It's
- 17:11actually
- 17:11a
- 17:12real
- 17:12thing
- 17:12because
- 17:12there's
- 17:13a
- 17:13misinterpretation,
- 17:15the
- 17:15movement
- 17:15over
- 17:16the
- 17:16emptiness.
- 17:17Like
- 17:17somehow
- 17:18the
- 17:18heart
- 17:18knows
- 17:19that
- 17:19the
- 17:19beloved
- 17:20has
- 17:20an
- 17:20emptiness
- 17:21side
- 17:22to
- 17:22the
- 17:22beloved.
- 17:23And
- 17:24that
- 17:24emptiness
- 17:25in
- 17:25the
- 17:25heart
- 17:25was
- 17:25created
- 17:27by
- 17:27the
- 17:27beloved
