To me this says a little something about the nature of enlightenment. "Truth" is not found "out there" so much as it is within the connections we forge between each other. Even base sexual desire for one another has a simple, if a little comical, profundity that speaks to the nature of how we relate to ourselves, each other, and the world around us. I have always been a fan of what I called "practical religion". I believe spirituality and philosophy which exists purely in academic abstraction, divorced from the dirt, sweat, blood, and lust of everyday phenomenon is impotent. There is little true separation between the things of this world and the "heavenly heights" we aspire to, and thus should look for our inspiration, not from unreachable authority, but from under the stones.

Years of Meditation and Enlightenment...
Word salad police here.
I wanted to let you know that you've said nothing. Literally nothing.
I've read through this whole thing and you haven't given me even one anorexic hint as to what you're actually trying to say. I know just as much about your belief as I knew before I read the comment.
"comical profundity that speaks of the nature of how we relate"
"not from unreachable authority, but from under the stones"
I've heard politicians put more meaning into their speeches.
When you think of a philosophical concept, you need to explain it, not describe it.
You were actually thinking about your philosophical concept and trying to describe its nature, which to a passing reader has no meaning whatsoever because it lacks any context.
It's like a claim designed to not be debunked.
Cheers.
