TRUE INTIMACY

The test for truth is to kick it. What is true will come back to you. If it comes back to you, it is yours. What goes away with a kick was never yours.

The nature of everything in creation is to come back home. Everything goes back to its origin.

True Intimacy is non-judgmental.

It is not looking at whether the other person loves you well or not, whether the other person treats you well or not. That is none of your business. If I want to be intimate with somebody, take it for granted that they love me. When you doubt whether the other person loves you or not, then your love for the other person goes down.

There is no way you can know the love of another person. If you base your perception only on expression of love, you are mislead. Action does not always represent the truth of the state of being.

In true intimacy you stop looking at the act and you start being in love. So, if you have determined to love somebody, do not even think whether they love you or not. You love them . That is enough. If they kick you to see whether the love in you is true or not, then you should have more happiness. Then, also, you give love back.

True love is coming back to the Self. That is true intimacy.
