It's a really important reminder, too, that, of course, we can do this work before getting into relationships.

when it's coming from stillness, when it's coming from joy, the way you described it experientially, I really liked because it resonates with me as truth that there isn't this back and forth in convincing. There's just kind of this deeper knowing and receiving and accepting of what is.

And the Buddhists also have a term for the sort of intuitive knowing called direct non-conceptual valid cognition. Mm-hmm. You know, meaning direct, it's right there. It's immediate in the experience. Non-conceptual, it's not of the mind in terms of formulation of thoughts or the intellect or logic. Valid, meaning obviously it's true. There's coherence to it.

Like we think of the mind as just the intellect, but the mind is a vast sea that's connected to all life.
