I think the word erotic has had a bad rap. I think it's had a really bad marketing campaign for the last 2,000 years. To me, erotic is the intimate, personal relationship that you have with your masculine essence or your feminine essence. Embodied erotic energy is the energy that moves us towards life, moves us towards love, towards connection. It moves the cells. It literally moves the cells in your body into a titillated frenzy of that swells your body so that your body can reach through space to meet another body. The swelling of your lips, the swelling of your breasts, the reaching of your arms, the swelling of your genitals. We all have it. Erotic energy is. It is as wholesome and normal as hunger and thirst. I talked about this yesterday. What do we do with it in our global culture? The prophet.
