I have listened to a growing number of excerpts from K lectures at this point. Initially it felt really cryptic due to his constratints to be able to express himself, but I think I am starting to have a better grasp at what he says.
However, I am having an issue with an idea. When he talks about fear and loneliness, he seems to talk about it being a thought process of sorts that is generated by identifying with the word or concept instead of really grabbing at the real thing.
However if you hear the koan "Eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are tired", you would get the idea that if we go beyond words, "lonely" would be addressed by "socialization". So loneliness is physiological phenomene of your body just as much as hunger and being tired.
All in all, as someone who has never had a relationship in his 29 years of life I feel conflicted if a "stable relationship" would be a game that gets me. On the other hand I empirically feel that my body craves stability as such.
Any thoughts? I feel like wanting stability as such is a farce, but on the other hand I also feel like my body will eventually give out if needs are not met.
