SUMMARY
The talk begins by distinguishing purpose from objectives. Purpose has only a subject—'me'—and its immediate work is to end self-judgement, self-doubt, and the daily negative talk that weighs the body. Time belongs to mind; mind is agitation and goal-seeking. Purpose is timeless response: if a nail is in the foot, remove it—so too with negativity.
The image of the medieval accolade opens a recovery of myth: chivalry as daily graciousness without self-consideration. Woman's command of love is allegiance to truth and honesty before the man; she never demands love but may rightly require truth. Man must stop 'dipping' and dry out sexual momentum to become noble and able to love.
Falling in love is losing consciousness; being in love is serving love and truth first so honesty governs the union. Space is kept between subject and object; the relationship begins and continues in truth, or it ends rightly.
