The path of Eros is one of intimacy, of the relationship and interplay between states of consciousness.
There is a sweet spot, a dynamic tension between sensing the draw toward union while savoring the separation between phenomena.
In this gap, in the in-between where life is taut and vibrating, lies the spot we seek: intimacy. Too merged and we lose the contrast and vividness, too separate and we lose the awe and reverence. Life is most salient on the line between.
