It's really only two ways to be. We're going to break down because we all inhabit both sides of this spectrum, but I think we're going to identify really quickly where we want to be and how do we get there. So on one hand, we have being neurotic, neuroses, being in this mental energy, and it's ultimately the state of being. It's all about control. It's all about survival. Okay, it's a very disconnected state of being that is trying to manufacture a sense of stability and a sense of centeredness and a sense of control in a chaotic, wild, teamingly alive world. Okay, so that's our neuroses. It has a function. It has a valuable function for our egos and for our survival in the world, but it's actually not a very deep state to experience our lives. And I know most of us crave and yearn for much deeper, more present, more luscious, more fulfilling experience of our hours and our days and our weeks and our months as they go by, right? So on the other side of the spectrum, if we have neuroses and being neurotic over here, we have being erotic and eros over here. Now eros is not just about sexuality. It does include that, but it's more so about participating in a liveness. It's about experiencing our bodies and our sensuality and our senses and our perception and our touchability with life such that we actually are changeable. Now, if neuroses is trying to control, trying to keep everything together, it's not very open to change. It actually perceives change as life threatening. But if you look at anything that is alive, change and becoming something else and that alchemy, that transformation is essential to aliveness. And eros is this way by which we've become something else through another, through our experiences and our encounters with another, whether that be with creatures or plants or storms or people or intimate moments, those things fundamentally change us. Our nervous systems need some love and need some support from us to actually shift states so that our baseline state of being is not neuroses. It's not anxiety and worry and being in this mental place of the past or the future or trying to control. To help our nervous systems and our actual centered state of being root very deeply in the body and in eros and in presence with our friends and with our life and with our creativity and with our sensuality, our nervous systems need support. They need practice, right? We have to actually practice inhabiting these states of being that we want to live inside of. So I just want to invite you to my summer program inner lover. It's the third summer we've run it. It has the best reviews. Please just go check out the thingy. It's free. It's on my website. There's also a free class. You can watch it's like 40 minutes of erotic philosophy class which is just a little taste of what's inside the portal. I bring in a dozen teachers that are experts in their domains teaching different classes. There's a whole portal of resources. There's live calls. We have community calls and it's really all about radical romance with our bodies and with our lives to shift our state of being into a much more erotically attuned and expansive state of being so that our pleasure actually becomes creative power that we can build a meaningful life from and enjoy. So go check it out.
