@Rosmari Tinus you do good work and bring good stuff into the space. I appreciate you and happy birthday!

Thank you for sharing this really valuable video that shows some of the concepts passed down by Carl Jung. It's actually spurring me and reminding me to make my own video around this topic. Sexual sovereignty is really what is being taught in this community… The first step is really becoming aware that we actually have erotic/Eros/creative energy. It is what drives everything in our lives and in human nature. The next step is to accept it and learn how to actually feel it. From there, we can learn how to interpret all of that information and energy that's coming through us and finally… which is actual sexual sovereignty… is knowing how to direct that energy towards life sustaining and life giving aims. "Know it - Own it - Live it" Carl Jung definitely had some deep thoughts and insights around human nature and the way we interpret what's going on around us. I have mostly enjoyed his work and the many many interpretations of it that I've influenced everything from feminism, to the human potential movement, to just about everything in the healing arts industry as we know it. This video is definitely some very carefully crafted wording, based on his work. I sometimes really worry that people's interpretations become biased towards Puritanism and through that become kind of weaponized. Somatic Pleasure, just like sexual sovereignty, is not only or necessarily about having sex, although it also does include that as a very valuable and valid and important part of our humanity.

@Michelle Aurets I absolutely have this experience. Often times it's smelling something like the desert after a rain storm or Bacon cooking. Yes definitely smells can take us back to joyous moments in our lives and remind us of things that are just barely on the periphery of our memory. It's a very powerful sense.

@Eric Stromberger So good to see you here and to have you express your wisdom and joy here. Thank you for being so totally supportive and in my life and showing what it's like to live with Grace and vulnerability. The idea of partnership over domination is such a great vision of how we may have used to be and how we very well could be. We have all the technology we have all the history. We have all the knowledge to actually create a much more egalitarian world. One big component is being able to sit down and actually listen to each other.

@Eric Stromberger Damn… I love that you pick up on all of that stuff and then integrated into your life. I mean, you already have so many great qualities and practices and but you're always looking to take it to the next level. You're inspiring.
