"In your daily life, please accept yourself as you are and your life as it is. Be intimate with yourself . . ." I want you to take good advantage of every chance your have to become a really intimate being."
When you are intimate with yourself you accept and get to know who you really are deep down. When you are intimate with others you feel free to share who you really are and to say what you think. You feel free to let down your guard. Roshi Kennedy speaks of the beautiful undefended self.
