There is a longing & fiery passion. You feel the need to want & know more; to delve into those unknown yet not knowing what exactly it is that you are searching. There is aggressiveness coupled with love and understanding as you cling on to it hoping to melt & absorb into it so that you will become one only. Strange are the ways of nature, don’t you think so as the thoughts for process of pro-creation seem like a replica for self-realization.
Eroticism in its purest form is the deepest understanding and knowledge of our desires and ourselves; it is the power to feel fully and deeply in everything we do and everything we experience, and then striving to achieve. It gives a sense of satisfaction & completeness. Our primary desire here is not for joy and connection, but for desirelessness; we fill ourselves so as to be emptied, left with nothing but the peace of desiring nothing. A short-lived peace, to be sure, but nevertheless peace.
I feel that there is a vital link between the sexual and the rest of our life. A compartmentalized sexuality tends to focus on immediate pleasure and momentary sensation. On the other hand a spirituality not linked to the erotic tends to become an intellectual pursuit more concerned with doctrine than with love. In a healthy situation the erotic desire for wholeness is linked to the spiritual paths we choose.
