Well, let's move on to the second of the seven aspects that you talk about in the book, and that is sensitivity.

What do you mean specifically by sensitivity?

So for you, the term sensitivity is kind of... And I just want to make sure I understand this, because I think it's interesting, especially when you invoke how we were as kids.

There's some kind of factory setting for us of how we experience the world, how open our aperture is, maybe.

It can get papered over.

It can get paved over by the events of our subsequent life.

But by sensitivity, I think you're...

pushing us to like get back in touch with this original stance.

Again, I find this very intriguing.

I kind of like the childhood version of myself better than I like the current version of myself.

So what very practically can we do to get back in touch with that?

So in the pairs, I want to get back to the individual practice in a second, because I have an advantage over you because I have that actual words in front of me.

So I'm going to read them back to you.

But I'm just curious about the pairs thing.

So you're sitting there and saying what you can see about the other person.

Like, how do you stop people from being dicks?

Because I would be like, oh, I can see you have terrible taste in clothing or whatever.

I don't know.

I mean, I probably wouldn't genuinely be a jerk, but I mean, I might say things that don't land well or want to say things that don't land well.

Feels interesting.
