I have become quite fascinated with him of late thus I found your blog post in Googling info on him. He has been wrongly painted with a broad brush of sex, lust and wanton romance. His charms may have included such but they also included deep loyal LOVE. His falling in love with Psyche was heart felt not just physical (eros -love).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-23195110237762180092011-10-30T07:31:49.310-07:002011-10-30T07:31:49.310-07:00The mistake is limiting the concept of "Eros&...The mistake is limiting the concept of "Eros" or "Love" to social situations.<br /><br />Why not worship "Eros" as in "Love" as in "Love" of the entire Universe, love of the moment, love of the past, present, and future.<br /><br />Why think of anything specifically, why not just spend all your time focused on love itself and just let the feeling carry you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-63031083244192038842011-08-01T13:47:58.109-07:002011-08-01T13:47:58.109-07:00It can't succeed in fact, that's what I be...It can't succeed in fact, that's what I believe.tablet pc 10 pulgadashttp://www.tabletpc-shop.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-13197011170889561892011-07-22T10:06:20.590-07:002011-07-22T10:06:20.590-07:00Atheists may not belive in God but they often beli...<i>Atheists may not belive in God but they often believe in something just as mystical and irrational.</i><br /><br />And well they might. At the age of 15 or so I began to seriously consider the world and it seemed to me that the logical conclusion of atheism is materialism, and the logical end of materialism, for the individual human, is hedonism. In a true materialist universe I really ought to grab all the sex, drugs and toys I can before my inevitable, total extinction. And why the hell have children? They're just collections of molecules who will also inevitably suffer and die.<br /><br />Most atheists I, like you, have known <i>must</i> substitute something for God, otherwise they'll be staring Nihilism straight in the face. And despite their supposed rationalism, they're not prepared to take those consequences.Robert Pearsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357942424904415208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-48970379688190645902011-07-22T07:27:03.868-07:002011-07-22T07:27:03.868-07:00It has been my experience that most atheists (I ha...It has been my experience that most atheists (I have been one since my teens - 35+ years ago) are still spirtual people. They may reject the god centered belief systems but many embrace one of the alternative spiritual belief systems. Enviromentalism, feminism, magnetic healing, herbal remedies, raw food, autism vaccines links and the return to nature movements usually have some rational science at their core but often veer off into a dogmatic belief system that in many ways mirrors the organized god based religions.<br /><br />Atheists may not belive in God but they often believe in something just as mystical and irrational.The Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09554055593581812426noreply@blogger.com
