Element: Intimacy / Ultimacy
Intimate &
Ultimate Relationships
Connecting and engaging that which is intimate with that which
is ultimate. Be in relationship.
What is the relationship
that you have with the world and the universe and everything?
Life is both intimate
and ultimate. It is both grand and miniscule. Intimacy
and Ultimacy refers
to the dichotomy of living life in relationships with oneself or
with another and the relation we have with everything larger than
ourselves. Our connection to the light-within or to god is very
powerful and ultimate
at the same time it is intimate
and personal.

Ultimate
things: Community,
universe,
nature, god,

We
are always in relationship
Life is in relationship.
You are in relationship.
As such, we are in relationship with that which is intimate
and that which is ultimate
at all times. LivingIntentionally™
will come from the harmonizing of these two relationships.
When you are
in relationship with the intimate
AND the ultimate,
interesting things start to happen:
- We slow
down.
- We see complex
things simply.
- The truth
(our truth) becomes apparent
- and the
conversations you have - matter.
- You become
very grounded in the present.
- Joy, Peace,
Clarity, Vision

"Bring forth the
silence so that
you may hear
the sound that
is not a sound
-a voice
-a pulse
-an awareness
-a lick of god

of god."
