People connect to each other in multiple spaces.

Spaces of connect in a relationship

The deepest/ most profound space of connect is the spiritual connect. By spiritual connect we mean the specific recognition of spiritual identity, of oneness of purposes, and acceptance of each others methods.

The most expansive space of connect is the intellectual connect. By intellectual connect we refer to unity of purpose and recognition of powerful new ways to think about these purposes.

The most intimate is the space of emotional connect. By emotional connect we refer to the reorganization of emotional ideas/ thoughts. There emotional ideas/ thoughts refer at the structural level to roles and identity interaction, and at the quality level to forms of emotional bonding such as “brother-hood”, “mother-hood”, “child-hood”, and lead to deep qualities of emotional experience.

The most external space of connect is the activity space. This is the external “communication workspace”. This is the space where connect is easiest and also most transient.

Perhaps the deepest and most sustainable relationships are those that span across spaces of connect.
