In a world polarized by separation, Eros, that which connects, is the cure.
The journey of union begins with an acknowledgment: ‘I, too, am that.’ Not merely in shared experience, but in the clear-eyed recognition that the so-called ‘other’ is a reflection of our own inner worlds.
The bridges built would not be external. the work we do will be internal. Not simply a rescuer collecting tolls and thriving on division, but instead remembering that we were never truly apart.
A revolution guided by eros would be one of reclamation of all that we have projected onto “other”.
It would be, at first, a small world built by a group of individuals whose only work was to see opposition in themselves and find a way to love it, hold it, and be with it.
We reclaim our projections, dissolving the idea of enemy or other not through force or mandate, but by revealing the illusion of separation. This revolution would be one of evolution.
