Marriage represents the proper integration of intoxication, while adultery is a type of intoxication that cannot be integrated and destroys the body.

Is the “wife of your youth” similar to dreaming? (Proverbs 5) Her love is intoxicating but in a controlled way, unlike the love of the strange woman (bitter like wormwood).

Eros is the desire to penetrate the unknown. And once the unknown is made known, the desire dissipates. God alone is eternally worthy of eros, as he cannot be fully known.

The ancients were right about the ring of fire around the earth. We call it ozone now. Fire is the perceived effect of gas moving from an excited state to a low-energy state. Ozone is the high-energy state of oxygen induced by photons from the sun. Nothing new.

@PageauMatthieu @larrivee_mike I just found out that “knowing” good and evil is the same word as “knowing” in a sexual sense (yada). The word has a connotation of uncovering and becoming one with. This helps me understand the effect that eating the fruit has on Adam and Eve.

Dream: I was swimming in the ocean with my dog. He started whining. I felt a large shark swim underneath me. I looked around and I was now in a pool. I got myself and my dog out of the pool and observed the shark. It had killed the owner of the house/pool, but it was now trapped.
