@Rishabh R @StaraX thank you - and thanks to the rest of the men who replied! Appreciated Interested to hear what @CARDOZZO @Valach @BlessedLion @Zenterus might say

Thank you for the replies - the question is about spoken words regarding expressing affection. Not actions. I found the question interesting because it provoked a lot of thought for myself in my business relationships (95% men). The contractors I ask more frequently report they want to hear they are respected. I have a strange, biased sample size so I am interested to hear what the men who engage in consciousness work replied with.

Tell me. If you could choose what you want to hear more from a partner: "I deeply respect you" or "I deeply love you" I do think there will be overlap depending on how we define romantic love - this is about what you want to hear more from a woman.

Gotcha. Honestly this is SUCH a big topic for contemplation - and for me it is never-ending. Feelings, emotions, thoughts. MASSIVE. And I am no way near done! But I truly appreciate this little snippet of dialogue. Love a good brain rubbing session

Wait okay - for myself - not all feelings are just sensations. If I say sensations I say sensations. Maybe there is some mixup happening

Yes, exactly. You can have direct experience of a feeling and overlay (perception) also be true.

So, when you feel a tingling in your feet - there is no connection active? You are just your feet tingling?

To conclude from the original statement - I am making a claim regarding telepathy. I won't be able to prove my claim - It is beyond my personal ability to do so. My claim is based on two unique experiences. But my knowing of the experiences is true.

@Jirh You can connect to your feelings in an inauthentic way through misunderstanding. Maybe feelings are direct for you - but often we have a layer of HOW we are interacting with them. That layer is interpretive. For example, I can feel my heart rate increase, my breathing quicken. I might feel that as anxiety. I might feel that as excitement. Which one is true? How do you know?

In my worldview, thoughts, feeling and emotions are not separate. Don't know if that helps or not.

Technology is a conduit for connection. Feelings are a conduit for connection.

But you can observe a feeling. You can connect to it. The nature of the authenticity of the connection and relationship to the feeling can be true - or untrue.

Is feeling not part of knowledge?

@Jirh What's the difference between technology and telepathy?

@Jirh You are in for a surpise!
