"In this moment that we are in, in the midst of breakdown - in the midst of uncertainty - in the midst of catastrophic and even existential risk - that breakdown is sourced in a failure of Eros. There are multiple levels of the failure of Eros that brought us to this moment and multiple reasons why we haven’t focused our intention to prepare for this moment.
The invitation of this moment is to evolve the source code, to tell a new story, a new story of identity, of community, a New Universe Story. We need to restore Eros - or even evolve Eros.
Intimacy is one of the qualities of Eros. So the evolution of intimacy, the reclaiming of our knowing that we are unique incarnations of Eros in a CosmoErotic Universe, is the essence of this moment.
This is why we are focusing on Eros in the middle of a pandemic. Eros is not extra. The problem is a failure of Eros.
Every failure of Eros then births a complete failure of ethics. It is a crack in our wholeness, in our wholeness of identity, and our wholeness of One World. We split off Wuhan, China. But there is no possibility like that. It is One World.
What used to be true is: Whatever happened in China didn’t have anything to do with what was happening in Holland. There were only vague connections along the silk trail. Occasionally, there were potential clashes but basically it took hundreds of years for them to play out.
Today, because we have forgotten what no-boundary consciousness is, that’s what the virus reminds us of. The only way to heal the virus is with a deeper virus - a deeper virus in the sense of a viral explosion of a deeper contagion (which comes from the same Latin root as the word contact). And that deeper contagion is the New Universe Story.
