When We Cut Ourselves Off from Eros

For a woman without Erotic power, the place of desire hardens into complaint. Without desire,
life feels insufficient, and the mind rushes in to rationalize this feeling.

When we cut ourselves off from Eros, the flow of power through desire stops.
In its absence, conditioned desire—the autopilot version of wanting—uses up what little power we do have. 
 Simultaneously, the lack of nourishment that desire would guide us to leaves us feeling empty and perpetually insufficient.

Lack is a powerful mind state.
It creates a negativity-based identity that drains power first from ourselves and then from those around us. In this state, we feel passive and powerless, trapped in a cage of our own making.

We start to believe that the world or others are against us. While we may go through the motions of offering generosity, in truth, we often take more than we give, convinced that life has wronged us. 

This complaint-based identity 
pulls us deeper into discontent, reinforcing the belief that we are victims.

We take on the identity of suffering as a way to avoid activating our true power.
Often, we present ourselves as martyrs, convincing ourselves and others that we are selfless, while quietly
drawing power from those around us.

Through subtle complaints, discontent, control, and even silent manipulation, we maintain this mask of generosity.
In reality, life feels like it is happening “to us,” leaving us passive and disconnected. We refuse to acknowledge the truth:
Our Erotic power remains dormant, waiting to be turned on.

The strange truth is that all of this effort to maintain the identity of lack is entirely within our control to change. It is entirely in our hands to flip 
the switch and activate our Erotic power.

Although there may be a learning curve, what could be more important or 
rewarding than stepping into 
our own immeasurable power?

By acknowledging ourselves and consciously engaging with desire,
we can break free from cycles of lack, complaint, and discontent. It is time to stop avoiding the power within us and start living in alignment with it.
