The Extremes of Eros

At the extremes of Eros, I can settle or demand, stop or go, wait or move. At the extremes of Eros, I can want it all or nothing at all.

Before I elaborate on this, consider the following:

Evolutionary enlightenment is the evolution of culture out of consciousness, evolving from a contemplation of religious mystery toward a spiritual realization of mastery, evolving through a balance that would cultivate soul and celebrate spirit, through sacred encounter with quality through acceptance of what is and through divine experience with vitality through assurance of what can be. By this definition, there are no mysterious depths we cannot plumb, no masterly heights we cannot climb. If and when we find and keep this balance between soul and spirit, individually and collectively, and if and when we find and keep a balance that would have us express and impress, cultivate and celebrate, then all will be well with us and the world.
