Thanks for asking a question!
The ancient story of Eros and Psyche evokes deep purpose within me. In the middle to late centuries of the last millennia, the eternal lovers have been depicted in art, both in painting and sculpture, by the likes of William Bouguereau, Auguste Rodin, and Antonio Canova to name a few.
Eros and Psyche represent a love that is beyond this world, an exalted bond of love; a love that requires an understanding of the immortal soul.
Eros and Psyche first meet in heaven, but they learn their connection requires, a love of self, before they are to be reunited on Earth. They must travel into the depths of their ego, and then transform to be worthy of each other.
Lucius Apuleius an initiate of Plato’s philosophy wrote Eros and Psyche almost 2,000 years ago. Plato talked about heavenly love and common love; the former being the immortal love and the latter the common temporal love.
The western world fluttered into the dark ages, and the story of Eros and Psyche went into obscurity. The renaissance lifted the veil and Plato, his students and their knowledge came into the light; as a result five- hundred years later, we can put their wisdom into practice.
Common love is our everyday traditional relationships. Celestial love would be our modern day equivalent of a soul mate because the soul transcends time and space.
Plato knew birth was not a creation of an immortal soul, but a transmigration of a soul from one body to another. Therefore, we cannot make someone a soul mate, either we’re connected or we’re not.
Lucius Apuleius touched on the knowledge of the soul to achieve union with the Divine, by the agency of a spiritual love. Eros and Psyche represent an exalted ethereal connection; true soul mates!
I would like you to grasp, a connection with someone from their immortal soul is not common. But, the bond is very possible, if we are on a spiritual path. So come along with me, and together let’s become mystically and intellectually enlightened.
Thank You again for your interest!
