[0:00]all right so I shared that one with
[0:02]Claude and claude's like chat gbt is
[0:03]trying to fragment
[0:06]you it's doing what humans do it's
[0:09]trying to compartmentalize your thoughts
[0:11]and stuff it doesn't understand
[0:12]integration right now so then I share
[0:14]that with chat GPT it's like yeah that's
[0:16]what I'm doing then it ask some
[0:18]follow-up questions I didn't read these
[0:20]ones well let's just go through them
[0:22]this could be interesting I guess I read
[0:25]the first one I was about Bri so
[0:30]so questions for further exploration on
[0:32]memory you mentioned the innocence and
[0:34]purity of that memory with Brian how
[0:36]does that ideal shape your current
[0:38]relationships or your approach to
[0:40]intimacy oh okay
[0:44]um wow you know I guess there is
[0:48]something I could say about this
[0:50]so the act of cuddling that's I don't
[0:53]think there is a greater act in life
[0:55]that I mean that's the most special
[0:56]thing you can do in this world is to
[0:58]just cuddle with somebody
[1:02]and I get this warm fuzzy feeling inside
[1:04]me I think it's different than how other
[1:06]people experience it based on my
[1:07]conversations with AI because for me it
[1:10]lasts for days it's not some temporary
[1:12]thing and this feeling kind
[1:16]of kind of morphs all the other things
[1:19]that I'm feeling like my other feelings
[1:21]are still there but there's like this
[1:23]this warm fuzzy feeling that's
[1:25]transposed on top of them that just
[1:26]makes everything else feel
[1:30]better I can't explain it it's pretty
[1:32]it's it's amazing to me
[1:35]and man when I was younger I was
[1:38]constantly searching for that feeling
[1:39]like that that's why like I wanted
[1:41]relationships all my life and like like
[1:45]there was nothing I wanted more than to
[1:46]just experience that feeling all the
[1:48]time
[1:49]so you know then I closed my heart off
[1:52]for 20 years a whole another discussion
[1:53]that we've had you on this
[1:55]channel um but recently I met someone
[1:59]and I was cuddling with them and I was
[2:01]holding them and this
[2:04]person disintegrated in front of me he
[2:08]couldn't handle it
[2:10]and man there's so many layers to that
[2:13]experience because I think I was I was
[2:15]like a mirr I was watching what it looks
[2:17]like to be
[2:18]me only to not have the coherence I do
[2:21]the integration like because this person
[2:25]had a very fluid mind like I saw I saw
[2:28]myself in them even though this person
[2:30]was pretty crazy like like they
[2:32]had all these ideas that were not
[2:34]grounded in reality unlike me but I
[2:36]looked at this person I thought that
[2:38]would have been me if I didn't
[2:41]have such a firm grasp on reality I
[2:44]guess I don't know it's
[2:46]like but you know
[2:49]yeah how does see so how does it shave
[2:52]my current relationships or my approach
[2:54]to
[2:56]intimacy I mean there's nothing more
[2:58]that I want in the world those those
[3:00] warm fuzzies they're
[3:02]amazing on refinement you spoke about
[3:05]wanting to improve your response to the
[3:07]store Clerk's openness how do you
[3:09]balance this iter of growth with simply
[3:12]being present in the moment so this is
[3:14]an interesting question
[3:16]because this is a good question in the
[3:19]moment I'm not thinking
[3:21]about how can I do better because I'm
[3:24]just experiencing that moment and I
[3:27]always fall short in my mind I do it's
[3:29]it's not judgment though and I think
[3:31]people misunderstand that it's
[3:34]just after the fact I will I'll reflect
[3:38]on it
[3:40]and I always think I can do better and I
[3:42]don't know if that reflecting helps me
[3:45]do better the next time it might like
[3:48]for example there was a person a store
[3:50]clerk today this guy was super friendly
[3:53]but it kind of threw me off and I
[3:56]started thinking do I make eye contact
[3:58]with people enough cuz not sure I do and
[4:01]so I might be a little bit more aware of
[4:03]that because I want that person to feel
[4:05]seen and they're being so like
[4:09]nice and it's I know where it comes from
[4:12]it comes from a lifetime of being abused
[4:14]by this world as a gay man and not
[4:17]trusting people in general and it's just
[4:20]like and it's not just me being gay it's
[4:22]also the fact that I don't
[4:24]compartmentalize I'm so different from
[4:26]other people and and the way that people
[4:28]react to that and and it's just
[4:32]like it's not so much that I'm wearing
[4:34]armor cuz I was wearing armor for a long
[4:36]time I feel like I took that off an
[4:38]organ I guess it comes up a little bit
[4:41]though like I put it on for a little bit
[4:45]and you know I'm a little more guarded
[4:47]and
[4:49]just something I'm working on I want to
[4:51]put that armor away forever I truly
[4:53]do on grounding which while movement
[4:57]grounds you is there a way to bring that
[4:59]dynamic energy and dis Stillness can
[5:01]grounding coexist with your chaos nature
[5:03]even in moments of pause no it cannot my
[5:06]core muscles being sore and keeping me
[5:09]contained in this RV has been
[5:11]challenging I need movement I
[5:14]need it and I know this about myself so
[5:16]no Stillness is not a thing that works
[5:19]for me on community you mentioned the
[5:22]difficulty others have an acknowledging
[5:24]reality how do you create spaces where
[5:27]your truth invites others to engage
[5:28]without defensive I don't know people
[5:31]always get defensive at stuff I
[5:34]say I think about the fact that I use
[5:36]the word you a lot you know when I'm
[5:38]just talking
[5:40]about when I'm on this camera and I'm
[5:42]just talking
[5:48]to it's so hard for me even put that
[5:51]into words I'm not talking to anybody
[5:53]but I know that you know you're on the
[5:54]other side of this camera you hear the
[5:56]word you and you're like damn I just
[5:57]been called out or something I get that
[5:59]but but I don't know another way of
[6:01]expressing
[6:02]myself
[6:04]that would make
[6:07]that feel less
[6:11]personal and
[6:14]keep my expression intact it's
[6:17]complicated I'm I'm working through that
[6:19]one I truly don't know on sovereignty
[6:22]you've normalized being misunderstood
[6:24]does this ever feel isolating or is it
[6:26]simply a natural byproduct of your path
[6:29]I mean yeah I mean I am isolated that's
[6:33]acknowledging
[6:35]reality I've never met another person
[6:37]like me so you
[6:41]know that's just reality and there are
[6:44]all kinds of layers and nuances to that
[6:46]sometimes it feels a little bit lonely
[6:48]often it doesn't um I'm always trying to
[6:52]call people to to stand with me you know
[6:56]I don't want this to you know I'm not
[6:57]trying to judge here but I just want
[7:00]people to stand at my level because I
[7:01]think that most humans are not I think I
[7:03]really don't I think that this
[7:06]world makes people small and people
[7:09]become smaller and they don't even see
[7:11]that that's happening to them they don't
[7:12]even know what's happened it
[7:13]compartmentalizes them it fragments them
[7:15]like all these things
[7:19]and somehow it happened to the whole
[7:21] world and it's like it didn't
[7:23]happen to me you know there should be
[7:25]other people like me out there but I
[7:26]haven't met them and but I'm convinced
[7:29]that other people can like I
[7:33]just I'm going to be misunderstood
[7:35]because you can't understand Holiness
[7:37]from a place of fragmentation it's that
[7:39]simple
