From the profound to the profane, the invitation of Eros is to incarnate into our own lives.
Eros does not pretend to know what is right or wrong in every situation for every person. It does not offer wholesale directives. Instead, it suggests that power lies in wisdom, and true wisdom only happens when we listen.
We cannot wake up alone because we cannot take ourselves out of control. We cannot press our own buttons and we do not know who we are within the finite limitations of control.
We have been conditioned to fear Eros—not because Eros harms, but because its distortion does. In response, we retreat, abandoning our post, allowing greed, exploitation, and oppression to thrive while blaming Eros itself.
In Eros, we are liberated from the mindset that would tell us there is somewhere we need to get to and we should hurry there.
The fear you cling to like a coat—you could lose it all and still—nothing would be lost.
In both the waking world and the dream world, the key is to stay conscious, aware of the transitions, and fully present in both realms
