Charles L. Whitfield Quote

3) Exploring and Experiencing As we begin to know our True Self, we begin to explore and to experience our feelings at a deeper or gut level. Here we are able to tell others as feelings come up for us how we really feel. By doing so we can have much interpersonal interaction with people who are important to us and can experience our life more. We thereby grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When we reach this more efficient Third Level of our feelings, we know ourself better and are better able to experience intimacy with another.
