Kami are Everywhere
I won’t be speaking of a specific pantheon of spirits. Even to enumerate the traditional magatsuhi -no-kami would be a futile effort, but the concept behind the kami in general, and the dark kami in particular, is helpful for understanding the world of spirits in any culture. Anyone here familiar with Shintoism? It’s a syncretic…

Need for Catharsis
You have Eros for your writing, passionate love, an intimate relationship with it. It is a part of you, no? Yes, it is. One can have Eros for their relationship or for a special class of experience. They can have it for a hobby though those usually need to be freed even more than they…

Speak to His Heart
Eros and logos, passion and reason, should be married in the psyche, in the mind. Mind unrooted in passion can justify hideous behaviour as being logical.

Rooted in the Passions

We have these potentials within us because they stem from a potential that already existed in the world,…

Messenger Between
Eros in Greek mythology was a messenger between the gods and humanity inspiring more than sexual desire. But Eros did not have the broad scope of perception that the gods had (not actually being a god), and his actions often lead to complications for the mortals involved. Eros unintentionally led some people to pathos or…

Truth is a reality checking process in the mind. It can operate in a healthy fashion, or get twisted, or can just be totally eschewed for a strictly relativistic artifice that excuses any stance as just what’s in fad of the mental moment.
Could our understanding of consciousness and soul evolution suggest that plants and trees are repositories of ancient wisdom? How might…
