Agape, Epithymy, Eros (Αγάπη, Επιθυμία, Ερως)

-From my text on the Logos (The Word).

Agape is the meaning of love. It is considered the natural form of love and is the expression of beauty and purity. What we learn from it, is the appreciation of its inherent attributes.

Epithymy is the meaning of desire. It is considered the natural form of desire and is the expression of pleasure and longing. What we learn from it, is the acceptance of its distinct qualities.

Eros is the meaning of passion. It is considered the natural form of passion and is the expression of sensuality and satisfaction. What we learn from it, is the sensation of its infusive form.

These three elements of the philosophy of Meleticism represent the different forms of our human nature, concerning the needs of the body and the exploration of the senses and their interactions. They also represent the ideas and thoughts of the mind. The mind must always be one with the body in harmony, if we are to obtain meaning to those ideas and thoughts. Once we have established that meaning, then we can proceed to enjoy the acts expressed by love, desire and passion. Agape is to be understood, as being a profound state shared by the mind and body. It reflects the foundation of our emotions with the recognition of their manifestation. It is a state of rapture that we experience with our feelings. Epithymy is to be understood, as being an intense awakening of the mind and body. It demonstrates the intrinsic nature of our yearning with the necessity of its substance. It is a state of discovery that we make with our keen intuition.

Eros is to be understood, as being a strong attraction connecting the mind to the body. It emphasises the fulfilment of our desires with the power of its seduction. It is a state of submission that we liberate with our instinct. There is nothing unnatural about these actual forms of expression. Without them, we would be incapable of understanding the true meaning of love, desire and passion within the philosophical teachings of Meleticism. Our bodies are our temples of which they have needs to sustain themselves as sturdy pillars. They need love, desire and passion. Things such as indifference, untamed lust and obsession are indicative of our vices and ego. Our bodies are meant to be explored and nurtured, as our minds are meant as well. Just like the surrounding nature, we function within the flow of emanations that form our human nature. Succumbing to the ego is succumbing to the vices that disrupt the harmony of the mind and body.
