The Erotic Experience of Stillness

Stillness is not a destination but a dimension of existence that lies beneath everything we do. It is the ground beneath the noise.

There are two distinct ways to access this realm, each reflecting a different relationship with life.

The first path is one of withdrawal. Shutting out stimulation and retreating into a space free from interruption.

In this stillness, the noise of the world subsides, and insights emerge like stars in a darkened sky. These moments of quiet can become reservoirs of wisdom, gifts we carry back into the busyness of life.

The Erotic path, however, leads to stillness not by escaping the world but by surrendering to it. This journey involves dissolving internal resistance and exhausting the blocks that separate us from our surroundings until the boundary between self and environment disappears.

Stillness here is not found in isolation but in profound connection, a merging so complete that we meet life effortlessly, at any speed or intensity. It is like the stillness experienced when a car matches the speed of a train—motion harmonizing with motion, creating a moment of profound quiet within the flow.

In this state, a deep silence emerges—not the absence of sound but a presence that permeates everything. The static of daily life clears, revealing a hidden dimension of existence that was always there beneath the miasma of busyness.
