You are all [[aware]] of where you [[feel]] personal [[intimacy]] begins. There is a [[threshold]] of distance that normally [[separates]] people, what can be easily [[discussed]] without breaking this intimacy threshold. If the intimacy threshold is broken prematurely, it causes [[embarrassment]]. All of you take time to [[gradually]] [[reveal]] what is behind the intimacy threshold to another person. [[Normally]], you do not [[speak]] what is in your [[heart]]. This is what gives [[society]] a smooth [[functioning]], everyone stays on subjects or [[behaviors]] outside the intimacy threshold in most [[social]] situations.

Everyone has a different [[intimacy]] [[threshold]]. Those who work [[creatively]] routinely bring that intimacy threshold down to [[reveal]] publically intimate details of their lives. [[Think]] about your intimacy threshold, that bubble or [[sphere]] that you maintain around yourself and your inner most [[feelings]] and [[thoughts]]. Think about the times when you have [[consciously]] lowered this threshold to establish a [[friendship]]. Friendships are formed and [[maintained]] by [[revealing]] more inner details of your [[feelings]] than you normally would.

[[Men]] tend to form [[friendships]] a little [[differently]] than [[women]] do. Men are more [[bonded]] through [[shared]] [[experience]] and the [[working]] relationship that is formed through shared experience. Men feel themselves to be [[revealed]] through their [[actions]] and through [[observing]] the actions of another. [[Women]] tend to [[bond]] more through the [[sharing]] of [[feelings]] and [[emotional]] [[experience]] verbally. Men don't feel the need to open up in this same way. Women tend to feel that this lowering of the [[intimacy]] [[threshold]] through verbal sharing with another person, [[male]] of [[female]], creates a bonding. Men do not feel this, but rather are bonded through [[time]] spent [[together]] and [[shared]] [[experience]]. In other words, men' s intimacy threshold is lowered [[naturally]] over a time period spent with another person. A woman more [[consciously]] lowers this threshold and is more [[consciously]] [[self]]-revealing.

So, as you go through your week ahead, [[think]] about lowering the [[intimacy]] [[threshold]], think about being [[comfortable]] and [[being]] yourself with all [[manner]] of people. When you welcome the [[stranger]] as you would welcome your [[brother]], then you are truly following [[the Master]]'s [[footsteps]]. Questions?
