“[The erotic] has been made into the confused, the trivial, the psychotic, the plasticized sensation. For this reason, we have often turned away from the exploration and consideration of the erotic as a source of power and information, confusing it with its opposite, the pornographic. But pornography is a direct denial of the power of the erotic, for it represents the suppression of true feeling."
Audre Lorde
On the EroticContrary to the watered-down definitions that we are given in modern society—which is often associated with sex exclusively (and even sex has been reduced to a very limited category of human life considering its powerful and integral role in its existence)--eroticism is so much more than sexual or kinky activity.
In its vast entirety, the Erotic is a concept that cannot be appropriately summarized in any dictionary or wikipedia page. This is because the essence of the erotic is as seeped with mystery as life is seeped with the erotic. In simple terms, Erotic energy is creative life force energy—which can be cultivated, harnessed, and directed. Eroticism is one's capacity for maintaining vitality and aliveness; the ability to transform sexuality into something that is creative and imaginative; the life-giving force that lives in our bodies—the very force that is shamed, suppressed and oppressed within the cultural constructs many of us find ourselves in. In Ancient greek mythology, Eros (despite the modern commercialized cherub you see in Hallmark) is actually a primordial god who played an instrumental role in creating manifest life. This should hint at the root of what defines eros and the erotic—which is so much more than lust. It is our very relationship with life as it is unfolding, and our capacity to participate in the dance of creation. |

The river does not flow in polluted, we manage that. The river does not dry up, we block it. If we want to allow it its freedom, we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose to stream, letting anything come, initially censoring nothing. That is creative life.
