Thomas here, one of the developers of the kama muta concept. Love the sentence "Kama muta inducers walk into your life and make it feel like play"!

This was a joy to read on something highly relatable. I tend to feel there is always a level of transcendence to understanding how deep connections work - beyond the tangible.

There is! I keep going back to Rilke's quote: 'things are not as graspable and sayable as on the whole we are led to believe.' I think it applies very much to human connections. The fun is in the attempt of articulating them :)

This is wonderfully written. What made you write this? I wonder if one ponders about this while they move from one kama muta moment to another

Yashmi, I read this yesterday and I can’t remember the last time I read something that’s brings a level of clarity in an area of my life I’ve always had trouble with. Thanks for writing this, I know it’s two years old but I’m glad this is the first piece I chose to read. 🌸

Dope post! I might tweak depth for attention though. I think attention may be the word you were looking for rather than depth when trying to capture the notion of feeling loved, validated, or seen
