Sounds to me like you are having the sexual time of your life, you and Eve, if this is not that
state of Love that you have no need for. Richard, do you Really know where you are?

Intimacy can only exist between 2 people who are equally honest and dare to own up to their
feelings as well as their thoughts, ideas, ideals, dreams, intimations and so forth.
|
|
|
And wrt to your report of actual intimacy. How was it different from your enlightened state.
What’s the essential difference? I remember you saying it’s an actual physical intimacy. By that what do you mean. Let’s say both of
us are in a room at the opposite ends of the room, does the Space between us NOT exist for you?

I have similar questions about the distinction between ‘feeling intimacy’ and ‘actual
intimacy’. Could you define exactly what you mean by those terms – as well as just exactly what you would say is going on when there
is a ‘feeling intimacy’?
|
|
|
If you will indulge my question: is it possible still to have actual intimacy,
even if the partner (man/ woman) is evidently inhibited by self and survival instincts? I am aware that PCE and EE are much more possible during sexual intimacy and
congress hence the urge to experiment.

Could you go into more detail as to what intimacy
experiences are, how they differ from excellence experiences, and what role they play in being out-from-control/ in a different-way-of-being? Did
they feature in feeling-being ‘Richard’s wide and wondrous path to an actual freedom? Incidentally, this may be a good a time as any to publicly state that, based on re-evaluation
derived from recent correspondences, as during the time I previously considered I may have been out-from-control, I was not consistently feeling excellent,
come-what-may, I can now say I have never genuinely experienced being out-from-control... and, as such, nor can I say I have ever experienced a
near-actual caring.

Hello, Richard, there are lots of references to “actual intimacy” on
your website but there is no mention of “real intimacy”. Is “real intimacy” the same as “The affective intimacy of love” mentioned below?
I would like to ask you if you can elaborate more on the difference between regular plain “intimacy” aka “real
intimacy” and “actual intimacy”, so as to clarify for instance what kind of intimacy is involved in “The Intimate Ambiance Experiment”. I have to
admit I have listened to very little of the recordings but it appears to be the intimacy of friends talking. I have the impression that most people
still can’t tell the difference.

What does that mean practically then Richard? Obviously I have to start with an affective intimacy
rather than the actual intimacy you describe (as I’m currently a feeling being). If I’m with a women should I let myself like them rather than
love them, so there’s an experience of closeness / intimacy based on liking rather than affection? I sometimes feel exposed though and this can prevent a relaxed
intimacy.
