• i want to point out what i alluded to i think in eros unfetter talks the epistemicide
• it either directly or indirectly is the absence of the concept of eros and soul making concepts of euros and soulmaking
• just even if you just consider the concept of eros um and and the absence of that concept
• it will lead also to because of the way eros will stimulate the aero psychologos dynamic the soulmaking dynamic and that
• um the absence of eros will also lead to a kind of rigidification and a narrowing a
• there isn't because of the absence of eros there isn't the possibility for the aero psychologus dynamic to really get
• absence of the concept of eros comes from
• um for me it's uh if we don't have the idea of eros then we actually don't have an adequate

• is already driving us someone who loves practice is already in got eros and and soulmaking involved in that love in
• devotion um there is eros and a sense of selffulness and soulmaking in the ways

• devoted there's image around there's eros around things are on the verge of on their way to being fully imaginable
• because of all that uh it then it it could become an object for eros it could um contain within its sort of depths and
• become an object of the erotic imaginal one could have eros and it itself becomes an imaginal object the zohar
• it quickly kind of accrue the kind of a trap the kind of eros for the ancient because ancient implies the tradition
• from that tradition becoming imaginal characters for me that i have eros doors that are important to me so because of
• as a as a soil for uh for image four eros but also for the proliferation of of
• based processing which i've touched on before in the eros and threatened talks so that phrase discrepancy based
• with that tradition so much the eros has gone for the tradition and so the fantasy of the
• tradition and so the fantasy of the tradition goes as well because the eros he imagined on the fantasy go together

Instructions: Opening to the Current of Desire - (Of Hermits and Lovers - The Alchemy of Desire) 12 mentions

• practice to explore and on this retreat specifically we're interested in eros in the imaginal of course that involves all
• the imaginal of course that involves all imaginal practice eros can be it's a very very strong
• obviously sexual to uh very very subtle and not sexual at all but eros is i would say an intrinsic part of the
• would say an intrinsic part of the imaginal and the imaginal involves eros so in this retreat where
• generally that's a part of desire and eros and then uh the last thread so far is
• practice um eros is implicit it's uh intrinsically woven in when something is
• imaginal when something or other comes alive to us imaginary there is eros involved
• involved where there is eros if it's left to do its thing if we don't if it's not
• blocked in some way it will open up the imaginal so the imaginal and eros kind of go together
• more with the energy of desire okay so when there's eros we it image is implicit and we tend to working in the
• what's common to these two practices the imaginal eros and the opening to the current of desire is that they both
• actually in both cases trusting desire and trusting eros so we're not letting go as in the

• to experience the divinity of our own eros of our own psyche of the ideas that move in our mind of what we see
• it does potentially to that passion to that eros for with regard to ontology epistemology
• that there can still be a kind of open-ended eros and inquiry um

• in the face of no cheap answers but but perhaps this open-ended eros and inquiry is possible for us

• heavy it's a heavy machinery you know a lot of it's unconscious but eros is something that can flicker up very
• its own affect its own love its own eros it desires you yeah so there's
• to it and and in in feels like here arises my eros might there's something i'm drawn to this image or i want to

• starts to come alive really through through this kind of dynamic of eros which is is looking for more eros is
• through this kind of dynamic of eros which is is looking for more eros is always looking for more not in a
• personhood there the fullness that there is eros there there's love there's intelligence there's a kind of knowing
• multi-asspect and then because of that there's more for eros to fall in love with and it's more and there's a sense

Clinging, Craving, Eros (Q & A) - (Of Hermits and Lovers - The Alchemy of Desire) 11 mentions

• desire okay along with era so you've got three kinds eros craving cleaning at least
• so it's really um uh desire eros is a kind of clingy in fact and
• really the distinction is between craving and eros so so the distinction i would make is one of the distinctions i
• involved where's eros which which wasn't in your question tends to open things out it
• yeah it's the road to which craving and eros is are the extremes you could look at it that way yeah very nice yeah so
• dukka making way eros and soulmaking is the kind of fabrication let's say in a poetic way in
• time but as you begin to discern more the difference you uh eros can slip into craving without us sometimes even
• realizing what's happened you know craving can be transformed into eros into something more open more more
• um then the eros has something to move into and then it can do this era psychologist
• mentioned before that has a tendency to someone dampen the eros sometimes when they're they're subjective poll somewhat
• not so much of the tunas um there isn't so much of the eros um and

Sila and Soul (Part 4) - (Four Circles, Four Parables of Stone and Light) 11 mentions

• that was exactly going on there and there was eros in relationship too and dimensionality so you can see how
• many of the elements in the imaginal trust beauty eros dimensionality we're talking about something we could say
• values can be so eros without any dimensionality allowed what what happens there
• we've talked about that before about if eros is not allowed to is not allowed dimension it has to go horizontal
• which is a kind of celebration of love and eros etc but how often does it have that real
• peace dynamism individuality sexual pleasure love eros determination they all are kind of
• just like imaginal images and with all that there comes the eros beyondness of them the dimensionality
• shading into divinity it cools our eros our eros also will reciprocally create more of that beyond
• there's a lot here that's related to the movement of eros and eros remember what always create more beyond the angel is
• now there are all kinds of implications here so very much to do with eros and soulmaking of course but just to touch
• is necessary if they are to remain always erotic objects for us so eros needs this beyond us it needs something
