This is a chance for you to experience the power of social architecture.  If you assemble a really thoughtful array of dimensions we believe you can achieve the states of grace associated with EROS.   If your initial attempt does not meet with success...at least one of your opportunities will be to invest some time discovering the essence of this course in social architecture.
 

THE CHALLENGE

Assemble the elements, circumstances, stimuli and surroundings sufficient to produce the following state of grace called EROS I.   It will be realized when the following descriptions of the end state are met.  We consider these minimums:
 

• Your partner in this quest suddenly appears to be someone you have known forever.

• You journey together through each others eyes to places beyond the here and now.

• You no longer feel attached to the world of consequence.  All earthly matters that normally nag away at you from inside are transcended.

• You feel a tangible if numinous part of the entire universe both as a whole and as a part.

• You experience beauty and wonder with an inner giggle that tells you that the Universe is and always has been a conscious and benevolent force.

• Creativity pours through you for days.

BASIC FRAMEWORK FOR THE DESIGN

You  can be assured of a wholistic perspective if you include the following dimensions in your design :
 

• THE EVENT ITSELF  Each essential act or moment will require its own specific kind of sustenance, special artifacts, unique amusements, and elements of comfort.

• THE ELEMENTS  Consider the optimal relationship to the five elements including plants and viewscape.

• THE INTERFACE  Usually there are ways to soften and smooth or even exagerate the contributing interface points  within the setting.   Think ergonomics.  Tend to edges, textures and pathways in and out.

• THE SPECTRUM  Notice whether there is a way to touch each of the senses without overloading any of them.  Remember the skin, gravity, and more than one smell.

• THE INTENTION   Create a way to include a specific prayerful intention and invite full participation with guaranteed privacy, full respect, and all the necessary psychic freedom to participate without reservation.

• THE MODEL   There are supreme examples of almost any state of being found within art, poetry, great fiction and without  question.... music.  Make these models available to the setting so that they require no maintenance.

• THE IMPETUS   Once all the other dimensions are activated then its time to invoke the natural genius of each person with spontaneous and playful excursions  into the moment.

  YOUR DESIGN OPTIONS

1.  TAKE THIS PROBLEM TO A GROUP OF FRIENDS AND CONDUCT A GUIDED DISCUSSION

2.   YOU CAN ACTUALLY CONSTRUCT THE SETTING, SOURCE THE ENERGY FIELD AND DIVE INTO THE ZONE WITH A FRIEND OR TWO

3.  YOU CAN ALSO JUMP ONTO THIS SITE AND JOIN THE CHAT GROUP CALLED EROS I.

At the end of your selected adventure create some annotated sketches of the dimensions at work.  Don't fret over the quality of the art, just aim to be inclusive and relate the resource to the part of the zone you want to effect.  A little story-telling-to-music might also be a way to decribe the various qualities you have included in the space.  The quality of your inquiry will determine directly your chances of creating such an experience for yourself.  Yippee!  The school solution includes over a hundred separate distinctions.   Oh, and in case you think by this time that this is an insidious to plot to improve upon todays pop culture!  You are right.   When you also design a water room, a contemplation site and a permaculture dinner garden then you will realize that we are not fixated on sex....its life we are after here and we aim to have it in abundance.  Having sex is only one option inside the realm of eros.
