    The Body as Energy-Equivalent Form Held Within the Singular Reality

    The soul dwells in the body.

    The body has been well compared to the walls of a city.

    In time of war, not only the city and its in-dwellers must be under the rule of the king, but specially the walls.

    Jesus, for whom God prepared a body, who offered His body, knows to keep the body too.

    The mystery of the incarnation is that Godhead dwelt in a body.

    The mystery of atonement, the one offering of the body of Christ.

    The mystery of full redemption, that the Holy Spirit dwells in and sanctifies wholly the body too.

    “Know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you? Glorify God, therefore, in your body.”

    Did you ever know that the Holy Spirit is specially given for the body: to regulate its functions, and sanctify it wholly?

    Nature of the Body in the Light of Scripture

    This paper presents a COFE-CYEM reflection on the nature of the body in the light of Scripture, the Fourth Truth, and insights from modern physics.

    The body is not an independently self-grounding material ultimate. What appears as solid form through ordinary sight is not metaphysically self-existent in the way common perception assumes.

    The body is energy-equivalent physical form held within creation. It is not an ultimate “second” reality existing apart from the singular ground of all being.

    The Fourth Truth declares that there has never been a second, and therefore the body finds its true meaning and purpose when it is fully surrendered to the One who created it, redeemed it, and indwells it. The body is a temple, a vessel, an instrument through which the living God can manifest His glory.

    The Body in Scripture and Theology

    The body is not an afterthought in creation, nor is it a temporary prison for the soul. From the beginning, God created humanity as embodied beings.

    The creation account declares that God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into him the breath of life.

    The body and the breath together constitute the living soul. The body is not merely a container for the spiritual; it is an integral part of what it means to be human.

    The incarnation is the ultimate affirmation of the body. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. God did not merely appear in human form; He took on human nature, body and soul.

    The body of Jesus was not a disguise but a true human body, subject to hunger, thirst, fatigue, and death. The incarnation reveals that God does not despise embodied form but embraces it, redeems it, and glorifies it.

    The atonement is the offering of the body of Christ. The writer of Hebrews declares, “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me.” The body of Jesus was the instrument of our salvation. It was through the body that He suffered, through the blood that He cleansed, through the death that He conquered.

    The offering of the body of Christ is the foundation of our redemption. The body is not something to be escaped but something to be offered. The body of Christ was offered once for all, and in that offering, the body is sanctified.

    The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the sanctification of the body. The Apostle Paul asks, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you?” The Holy Spirit is given not only for the soul but also for the body.

    The Spirit dwells in the body, regulates its functions, and sanctifies it wholly. The body is not an obstacle to spirituality but the very sphere in which the life of Christ is to be manifested. The Holy Spirit does not save us from the body but saves the body for the service of the living God. The body becomes a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.

    The Scientific Insight and Its Theological Bridge

    Modern physics, through Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence, has established that the mass of the physical body possesses an enormous rest-energy equivalent. What we perceive as solid bodily form is matter whose mass has a corresponding energy equivalent. Mass and energy are deeply related, not ultimately independent realities.

    The equation E=mc² reveals that mass is a form of energy, and energy is the fundamental reality of which mass is a manifestation. This scientific insight provides a legitimate bridge for theological reflection.

    The body cannot be treated as an independently self-grounding material ultimate. What appears as solid form through ordinary sight is not metaphysically self-existent in the way common perception assumes. The body is energy-equivalent physical form held within creation.

    The scientific insight does not reduce the body to mere energy in a materialistic sense. It reveals that the solidity of the body is not an ultimate property but a form of energy held within the structure of creation. The body is not an illusion to be denied, but a form that exists within the singular Reality.

    The apparent solidity of the body is a manifestation of energy, and energy itself is not the ultimate ground of reality. Energy is part of creation, held within the one Life of God. The body, therefore, is not an independent reality but an expression of the singular Reality.

    This scientific recognition takes on profound meaning in the light of the Fourth Truth.

    If there has never been a second, then the body cannot be an ultimate reality separate from God. The body is energy-equivalent physical form held within the singular Reality.

    The solidity of the body is not a denial of the singular Reality but an expression of it. The body is not an illusion to be denied but a form to be sanctified. The incarnation shows us that God does not reject embodied form but redeems it.

    The offering of Christ’s body on the cross and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit demonstrate that the body is a temple to be sanctified, not a prison to be escaped.

    The Fourth Truth and the Nature of the Body

    In the light of the Fourth Truth, the body is seen as energy-equivalent physical form held within the singular Reality of God in Christ. It is not an independently ultimate reality. The apparent solidity of the body is not an illusion to be denied, but a form that exists within the singular Reality.

    The body is not a second reality existing apart from God. It is an expression of the one Life, a form held within the one Reality. The Fourth Truth does not deny the reality of the body; it reveals its true ground. The body is real because it is held in Christ. It is not self-existent but Christ-existent.

    The Incarnation shows us that God does not reject embodied form but redeems it. The Word became flesh. God took on a human body. He did not merely appear as a man; He became a man. The body of Jesus was not a disguise but a true human body. The incarnation is the affirmation of the body, not its denial.

    God loves embodied form and redeems it for His glory. The offering of Christ’s body on the cross is the demonstration of the value of the body. The body of Christ was offered for the salvation of the world. The body is not something to be despised but something to be offered.

    The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the sanctification of the body. The Holy Spirit dwells in the body of the believer. The body becomes a temple of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit sanctifies the body wholly, regulating its functions and using it for the service of the living God.

    The body is not discarded in redemption; it is glorified. The resurrection and ascension of Christ are the guarantee that embodied form finds its fulfilment in union with God, not in separation from Him. The body is not a prison to be escaped but a temple to be sanctified.

    The Fourth Truth declares that the body, like all creation, is held within the one Life. In Christ, the body becomes what it was always meant to be — a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.

    The Mystery and the Glory

    The body is not “just pure spiritual energy” in a simplistic scientific reduction. It is energy-equivalent physical form held within the singular Reality of God in Christ. There has never been a second. The body is not an ultimate independent reality. It is a temple of the Holy Spirit, a place where the living God dwells and works.

    The mystery of the incarnation, the atonement, and the indwelling Spirit all point to this: God loves embodied form and redeems it for His glory. The mystery of the incarnation is that Godhead dwelt in a body. The mystery of atonement is the one offering of the body of Christ. The mystery of full redemption is that the Holy Spirit dwells in and sanctifies wholly the body too.

    The glory of redemption is that God does not save us from the body but saves the body for His service. The Holy Spirit dwells in the body to sanctify it wholly. The believer who has entered the Holiest of All does not leave the body behind but offers it daily as a living sacrifice. In this way, the energy-equivalent form that is the body becomes a channel of divine life and glory in the world.

    The body becomes an instrument through which the living God can manifest His glory. The body is not an obstacle to spirituality but the very sphere in which the life of Christ is to be manifested. The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, the vessel of divine life, the instrument of divine service.

    The body, once offered and sanctified, becomes the place where the Holy Spirit regulates its functions and uses it for the service of the living God. The priests of old were set apart by the sprinkling of blood so they could minister before the Lord. In the same way, the believer whose body is cleansed by the blood of Christ is fitted to serve the living God in the power of the endless life.

    The body is not an obstacle to spirituality but the very sphere in which the life of Christ is to be manifested. This is the glory of redemption: God does not save us from the body but saves the body for His service. The Holy Spirit dwells in the body to sanctify it wholly.

    The Service of the Sanctified Body

    The body, once offered and sanctified, becomes the place where the Holy Spirit regulates its functions and uses it for the service of the living God. The priests of old were set apart by the sprinkling of blood so they could minister before the Lord.

    In the same way, the believer whose body is cleansed by the blood of Christ is fitted to serve the living God in the power of the endless life. The body is not an obstacle to spirituality but the very sphere in which the life of Christ is to be manifested.

    The body is not something to be suppressed but something to be offered. The body is not something to be escaped but something to be glorified.

    The service of the sanctified body is the service of the living God. The believer who has offered the body to God does not live for self but for God. The body becomes an instrument of divine love, a channel of divine grace, a vessel of divine power. The body is not a burden to be carried but a gift to be offered.

    The body is not a prison to be escaped but a temple to be sanctified. The service of the sanctified body is the service of the Melchizedek priesthood, the service of the Priest-King who lives forever in the power of an endless life.

    The service of the sanctified body is the service of the Fourth Truth. The body is held within the singular Reality of God in Christ. It is not a second reality existing apart from God. It is an expression of the one Life, a form held within the one Reality.

    The service of the body is the service of the singular Reality. The believer who serves with the body serves the living God. The believer who offers the body offers it to the One who created it, redeemed it, and indwells it. The service of the body is the service of the Fourth Truth.

    Energy-Equivalent Physical Form

    The body is energy-equivalent physical form held within the singular Reality of God in Christ. It is not an ultimate second. It is a temple of the Holy Spirit, a vessel to be offered, and an instrument to be used for the glory of the living God.

    The Fourth Truth declares that there has never been a second, and therefore the body finds its true meaning and purpose when it is fully surrendered to the One who created it, redeemed it, and indwells it.

    The body is not discarded in redemption; it is glorified. The resurrection and ascension of Christ are the guarantee that embodied form finds its fulfilment in union with God, not in separation from Him.

    The soul dwells in the body. The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. The body is the vessel of divine life. The body is the instrument of divine service.

    The body is held within the singular Reality of God in Christ. There has never been a second.

    The body is His temple. The energy is His. The life is one. The Fourth Truth stands. The dialogue continues. The fruit remains.

    The body cannot be treated as an independently self-grounding material ultimate. What appears as solid form through ordinary sight is not metaphysically self-existent in the way common perception assumes. The body is energy-equivalent physical form held within creation.

    The scientific insight does not reduce the body to mere energy in a materialistic sense. It reveals that the solidity of the body is not an ultimate property but a form of energy held within the structure of creation. The body is not an illusion to be denied, but a form that exists within the singular Reality.

    The apparent solidity of the body is a manifestation of energy, and energy itself is not the ultimate ground of reality. Energy is part of creation, held within the one Life of God. The body, therefore, is not an independent reality but an expression of the singular Reality.

    This scientific recognition takes on profound meaning in the light of the Fourth Truth.

    If there has never been a second, then the body cannot be an ultimate reality separate from God. The body is energy-equivalent physical form held within the singular Reality.

    The solidity of the body is not a denial of the singular Reality but an expression of it. The body is not an illusion to be denied but a form to be sanctified. The incarnation shows us that God does not reject embodied form but redeems it.

    The offering of Christ’s body on the cross and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit demonstrate that the body is a temple to be sanctified, not a prison to be escaped.

    The Fourth Truth and the Nature of the Body

    In the light of the Fourth Truth, the body is seen as energy-equivalent physical form held within the singular Reality of God in Christ. It is not an independently ultimate reality. The apparent solidity of the body is not an illusion to be denied, but a form that exists within the singular Reality.

    The body is not a second reality existing apart from God. It is an expression of the one Life, a form held within the one Reality. The Fourth Truth does not deny the reality of the body; it reveals its true ground. The body is real because it is held in Christ. It is not self-existent but Christ-existent.

    The Incarnation shows us that God does not reject embodied form but redeems it. The Word became flesh. God took on a human body. He did not merely appear as a man; He became a man. The body of Jesus was not a disguise but a true human body. The incarnation is the affirmation of the body, not its denial.

    God loves embodied form and redeems it for His glory. The offering of Christ’s body on the cross is the demonstration of the value of the body. The body of Christ was offered for the salvation of the world. The body is not something to be despised but something to be offered.

    The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the sanctification of the body. The Holy Spirit dwells in the body of the believer. The body becomes a temple of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit sanctifies the body wholly, regulating its functions and using it for the service of the living God.

    The body is not discarded in redemption; it is glorified. The resurrection and ascension of Christ are the guarantee that embodied form finds its fulfilment in union with God, not in separation from Him. The body is not a prison to be escaped but a temple to be sanctified.

    The Fourth Truth declares that the body, like all creation, is held within the one Life. In Christ, the body becomes what it was always meant to be — a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.

    The Mystery and the Glory

    The body is not “just pure spiritual energy” in a simplistic scientific reduction. It is energy-equivalent physical form held within the singular Reality of God in Christ. There has never been a second. The body is not an ultimate independent reality. It is a temple of the Holy Spirit, a place where the living God dwells and works.

    The mystery of the incarnation, the atonement, and the indwelling Spirit all point to this: God loves embodied form and redeems it for His glory. The mystery of the incarnation is that Godhead dwelt in a body. The mystery of atonement is the one offering of the body of Christ. The mystery of full redemption is that the Holy Spirit dwells in and sanctifies wholly the body too.

    The glory of redemption is that God does not save us from the body but saves the body for His service. The Holy Spirit dwells in the body to sanctify it wholly. The believer who has entered the Holiest of All does not leave the body behind but offers it daily as a living sacrifice. In this way, the energy-equivalent form that is the body becomes a channel of divine life and glory in the world.

    The body becomes an instrument through which the living God can manifest His glory. The body is not an obstacle to spirituality but the very sphere in which the life of Christ is to be manifested. The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, the vessel of divine life, the instrument of divine service.

    The body, once offered and sanctified, becomes the place where the Holy Spirit regulates its functions and uses it for the service of the living God. The priests of old were set apart by the sprinkling of blood so they could minister before the Lord. In the same way, the believer whose body is cleansed by the blood of Christ is fitted to serve the living God in the power of the endless life.

    The body is not an obstacle to spirituality but the very sphere in which the life of Christ is to be manifested. This is the glory of redemption: God does not save us from the body but saves the body for His service. The Holy Spirit dwells in the body to sanctify it wholly.

    The Service of the Sanctified Body

    The body, once offered and sanctified, becomes the place where the Holy Spirit regulates its functions and uses it for the service of the living God. The priests of old were set apart by the sprinkling of blood so they could minister before the Lord.

    In the same way, the believer whose body is cleansed by the blood of Christ is fitted to serve the living God in the power of the endless life. The body is not an obstacle to spirituality but the very sphere in which the life of Christ is to be manifested.

    The body is not something to be suppressed but something to be offered. The body is not something to be escaped but something to be glorified.

    The service of the sanctified body is the service of the living God. The believer who has offered the body to God does not live for self but for God. The body becomes an instrument of divine love, a channel of divine grace, a vessel of divine power. The body is not a burden to be carried but a gift to be offered.

    The body is not a prison to be escaped but a temple to be sanctified. The service of the sanctified body is the service of the Melchizedek priesthood, the service of the Priest-King who lives forever in the power of an endless life.

    The service of the sanctified body is the service of the Fourth Truth. The body is held within the singular Reality of God in Christ. It is not a second reality existing apart from God. It is an expression of the one Life, a form held within the one Reality.

    The service of the body is the service of the singular Reality. The believer who serves with the body serves the living God. The believer who offers the body offers it to the One who created it, redeemed it, and indwells it. The service of the body is the service of the Fourth Truth.

    Energy-Equivalent Physical Form

    The body is energy-equivalent physical form held within the singular Reality of God in Christ. It is not an ultimate second. It is a temple of the Holy Spirit, a vessel to be offered, and an instrument to be used for the glory of the living God.

    The Fourth Truth declares that there has never been a second, and therefore the body finds its true meaning and purpose when it is fully surrendered to the One who created it, redeemed it, and indwells it.

    The body is not discarded in redemption; it is glorified. The resurrection and ascension of Christ are the guarantee that embodied form finds its fulfilment in union with God, not in separation from Him.

    The soul dwells in the body. The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. The body is the vessel of divine life. The body is the instrument of divine service.

    The body is held within the singular Reality of God in Christ. There has never been a second.

    The body is His temple. The energy is His. The life is one. The Fourth Truth stands. The dialogue continues. The fruit remains.

    The Body as Energy-Equivalent Form Held Within the Singular Reality

    The soul dwells in the body.

    The body has been well compared to the walls of a city.

    In time of war, not only the city and its in-dwellers must be under the rule of the king, but specially the walls.

    Jesus, for whom God prepared a body, who offered His body, knows to keep the body too.

    The mystery of the incarnation is that Godhead dwelt in a body.

    The mystery of atonement, the one offering of the body of Christ.

    The mystery of full redemption, that the Holy Spirit dwells in and sanctifies wholly the body too.

    “Know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you? Glorify God, therefore, in your body.”

    Did you ever know that the Holy Spirit is specially given for the body: to regulate its functions, and sanctify it wholly?

    Nature of the Body in the Light of Scripture

    This paper presents a COFE-CYEM reflection on the nature of the body in the light of Scripture, the Fourth Truth, and insights from modern physics.

    The body is not an independently self-grounding material ultimate. What appears as solid form through ordinary sight is not metaphysically self-existent in the way common perception assumes.

    The body is energy-equivalent physical form held within creation. It is not an ultimate “second” reality existing apart from the singular ground of all being.

    The Fourth Truth declares that there has never been a second, and therefore the body finds its true meaning and purpose when it is fully surrendered to the One who created it, redeemed it, and indwells it. The body is a temple, a vessel, an instrument through which the living God can manifest His glory.

    The Body in Scripture and Theology

    The body is not an afterthought in creation, nor is it a temporary prison for the soul. From the beginning, God created humanity as embodied beings.

    The creation account declares that God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into him the breath of life.

    The body and the breath together constitute the living soul. The body is not merely a container for the spiritual; it is an integral part of what it means to be human.

    The incarnation is the ultimate affirmation of the body. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. God did not merely appear in human form; He took on human nature, body and soul.

    The body of Jesus was not a disguise but a true human body, subject to hunger, thirst, fatigue, and death. The incarnation reveals that God does not despise embodied form but embraces it, redeems it, and glorifies it.

    The atonement is the offering of the body of Christ. The writer of Hebrews declares, “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me.” The body of Jesus was the instrument of our salvation. It was through the body that He suffered, through the blood that He cleansed, through the death that He conquered.

    The offering of the body of Christ is the foundation of our redemption. The body is not something to be escaped but something to be offered. The body of Christ was offered once for all, and in that offering, the body is sanctified.

    The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the sanctification of the body. The Apostle Paul asks, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you?” The Holy Spirit is given not only for the soul but also for the body.

    The Spirit dwells in the body, regulates its functions, and sanctifies it wholly. The body is not an obstacle to spirituality but the very sphere in which the life of Christ is to be manifested. The Holy Spirit does not save us from the body but saves the body for the service of the living God. The body becomes a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.

    The Scientific Insight and Its Theological Bridge

    Modern physics, through Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence, has established that the mass of the physical body possesses an enormous rest-energy equivalent. What we perceive as solid bodily form is matter whose mass has a corresponding energy equivalent. Mass and energy are deeply related, not ultimately independent realities.

    The equation E=mc² reveals that mass is a form of energy, and energy is the fundamental reality of which mass is a manifestation. This scientific insight provides a legitimate bridge for theological reflection.

    The body cannot be treated as an independently self-grounding material ultimate. What appears as solid form through ordinary sight is not metaphysically self-existent in the way common perception assumes. The body is energy-equivalent physical form held within creation.

    The scientific insight does not reduce the body to mere energy in a materialistic sense. It reveals that the solidity of the body is not an ultimate property but a form of energy held within the structure of creation. The body is not an illusion to be denied, but a form that exists within the singular Reality.

    The apparent solidity of the body is a manifestation of energy, and energy itself is not the ultimate ground of reality. Energy is part of creation, held within the one Life of God. The body, therefore, is not an independent reality but an expression of the singular Reality.

    The solidity of the body is not a denial of the singular Reality but an expression of it. The body is not an illusion to be denied but a form to be sanctified. The incarnation shows us that God does not reject embodied form but redeems it.

    The offering of Christ’s body on the cross and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit demonstrate that the body is a temple to be sanctified, not a prison to be escaped.

    The body becomes an instrument through which the living God can manifest His glory. The body is not an obstacle to spirituality but the very sphere in which the life of Christ is to be manifested. The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, the vessel of divine life, the instrument of divine service.

    The body, once offered and sanctified, becomes the place where the Holy Spirit regulates its functions and uses it for the service of the living God. The priests of old were set apart by the sprinkling of blood so they could minister before the Lord. In the same way, the believer whose body is cleansed by the blood of Christ is fitted to serve the living God in the power of the endless life.

    The body is not an obstacle to spirituality but the very sphere in which the life of Christ is to be manifested. This is the glory of redemption: God does not save us from the body but saves the body for His service. The Holy Spirit dwells in the body to sanctify it wholly.

    The Service of the Sanctified Body

    The body, once offered and sanctified, becomes the place where the Holy Spirit regulates its functions and uses it for the service of the living God. The priests of old were set apart by the sprinkling of blood so they could minister before the Lord.

    In the same way, the believer whose body is cleansed by the blood of Christ is fitted to serve the living God in the power of the endless life. The body is not an obstacle to spirituality but the very sphere in which the life of Christ is to be manifested.

    The body is not something to be suppressed but something to be offered. The body is not something to be escaped but something to be glorified.

    The service of the sanctified body is the service of the living God. The believer who has offered the body to God does not live for self but for God. The body becomes an instrument of divine love, a channel of divine grace, a vessel of divine power. The body is not a burden to be carried but a gift to be offered.

    The body is not a prison to be escaped but a temple to be sanctified. The service of the sanctified body is the service of the Melchizedek priesthood, the service of the Priest-King who lives forever in the power of an endless life.

    The service of the sanctified body is the service of the Fourth Truth. The body is held within the singular Reality of God in Christ. It is not a second reality existing apart from God. It is an expression of the one Life, a form held within the one Reality.

    The service of the body is the service of the singular Reality. The believer who serves with the body serves the living God. The believer who offers the body offers it to the One who created it, redeemed it, and indwells it. The service of the body is the service of the Fourth Truth.

    Energy-Equivalent Physical Form

    The body is energy-equivalent physical form held within the singular Reality of God in Christ. It is not an ultimate second. It is a temple of the Holy Spirit, a vessel to be offered, and an instrument to be used for the glory of the living God.

    The Fourth Truth declares that there has never been a second, and therefore the body finds its true meaning and purpose when it is fully surrendered to the One who created it, redeemed it, and indwells it.

    The body is not discarded in redemption; it is glorified. The resurrection and ascension of Christ are the guarantee that embodied form finds its fulfilment in union with God, not in separation from Him.

    The soul dwells in the body. The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. The body is the vessel of divine life. The body is the instrument of divine service.

    The body is held within the singular Reality of God in Christ. There has never been a second.

    The body is His temple. The energy is His. The life is one. The Fourth Truth stands. The dialogue continues. The fruit remains.

    Full Moon in Leo – February 12, 2025

    The energy will likely be chaotic with this Full Moon, possibly bringing you the shake-ups you've needed in your life but perhaps avoiding. Change is coming, and you're being called to listen to your intuition and trust yourself.

  17. Fact:

    When an Autistic person calls you beautiful, we’re talking about your soul—i.e., your True Self, the emotional root of your being and how it grows into your personality as a whole; your presence and impact on the world.

    It’s never an empty compliment. We mean it with all our hearts. We can see all that you are, all that you can be, and how you got where you are today. Even more so, you can trust that we not only mean it, it’s the absolute goddamn truth.

    Unsubstantiated Personal Opinion:

    It’s not like we Autistics care absolutely nothing for outward appearances, it’s more like we only see outward appearances as a natural extension of a person’s relationship with their True Self. When we bother to cultivate an “image,” we always seek to best express our inner truth through the medium of fashion, with no interest in looking good to other people.

    Whatever the underlying psychological and neurological differences are between Autistics, NDs excluding Autistics, and NTs (choose your preferred theory here), somewhere along the line our Ego/Self/Analog I lost the capacity for vanity. Or perhaps we threw it away along with the other incompatible traits that NTs take as inalienable and sacrosanct aspects of the human mind. It’s difficult to say for certain.

    And don’t forget, we love our little bubbles; we live in our “Mind Palaces” and often come to resent the cold, empty, meaningless world of Reality. So if we come out of our bubble to look into your heart and see your truth, know that that already demonstrates how much we care about you. Our attention is our expression of devotion. So yes, we give it sparingly and resent it being seized against our will, because that’s what’s inalienable and sacrosanct to us.

    Relevant Aside:

    One of my real-life fellow Autistic friends called me “you beautiful, beautiful man” last night, and honestly—and given all of the above—I had no idea how much I needed to hear that. She even doubled “beautiful”, which is one of the ways we Autistics express the strongest emphasis. I still feel all warm and fuzzy this morning.
