The video begins by exploring the profound language of love. We don't say "rising" into love because it isn't an achievement; it is the collapse of the ego's fortress. To fall in love is to lose your balance, to go "mad," and to risk everything on a gamble where there are no guarantees. 🧘♂️ The Death of the Ego: We discuss why people resist love. It’s because real love feels like a death—the death of the "I" that wants to be safe and in control. Life itself is a risk, a walk on floorboards you can't be sure will hold, yet we walk anyway because something in us trusts the process. 🤝 True Social Intelligence: Finally, we redefine social intelligence. It is not about polished tricks, reading people, or charming speech. True social intelligence is the art of Presence. It is becoming a "safe space" where others feel they can drop their defenses and breathe easier. When you embody this stillness, connection happens on its own without effort. If this resonated with you, subscribe to journey deeper into the mystery of life, thought, and being. 🤍 Inspired by Alan Watts 🤍 This channel is a tribute, acting as a mirror to reflect the wisdom you already possess. Through explorations of consciousness and the present moment, we invite you to notice you were never separate from the flow of life. The goal isn't self-improvement, but remembering the mystery you already are. 🔗 Explore Alan Watts' Original Work: 📚 alanwatts.org 🎙️ YouTube: @alanwattsorg ⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is for informational and entertainment purposes only and is not professional advice.
