In the Corinthian Gulf Aphrodite is everywhere.  In beauty shops, 
cosmetic ads, hotels, bars, and restaurants, the cult peeks 
around the thin veneer of Christianity everywhere.  As far east 
as Ephesus the image of Aphrodite appears and reappears as an 
ancient value that will not be eradicated, forgotten or ignored.  

I am devoted to Aphrodite.  Every now and then she looks at me 
directly through the eyes of a perfect woman, reminds me of her 
divinity, and elicits my rededication.  Last week I met such a 
woman, open-minded, eager to learn, self-empowered, beautiful and 
inspiring.  After my initial elation, I was overwhelmed with the 
joy of knowing yes, such women do exist, and I had the privilege 
of meeting one.  Later in the week, as my hormones settled down, 
I came off the high and reacquainted myself with the modern 
illusion of reality, the even-tempered pace of daily life.  But 
I know Aphrodite is waiting behind the veil, beneath the veneer, 
for another chance to show her beauty.  As I turned away from the 
miracle of love at first sight, I found once again my loving 
wife at my side, another face of Divinity, a dedicated buddy and 
companion.  Yes Aphrodite is alive.  So are Athena, Hera, and all 
the other goddesses we have revered.  

Margaret and I enjoyed a day of sexual devotion, a quiet 
celebration of our togetherness, and a dinner of Greek mezes 
together, playing chants from around the world, and discussing 
religion.  There is only one Divinity, and it runs throughout 
the Universe.  Some call it Brama, some call it Baa, some call it 
YHWH.  It appears before our eyes in physical form, and we give 
it names.  All that is called Divine is part of it, whether we 
call it Krishna, Buddha, Hera, Athena, Aphrodite, Poseidon, 
Apollo, Margaret, or David.  There is one absolute, ideal 
Divinity, and we are all part of it.  

The manifest Universe is the body of God.  It is the logical and 
necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God.

I am in love! 

Level 7 turned out to be the most awesome HAI workshop ever! How 
wonderful it is to live in the moment and notice my feelings. I 
love everyone in general, and some specific people in particular. 

All day today I wandered in a daze from my desk to the window, 
looking out over the City and daydreaming about my love. A new 
love, an old love. No matter. Love is one thing you have more of 
after you give it. And give it, I did. Such beautiful people, 
such magnificent experiences! I claimed my right to create my own 
experience, and the beautiful people appeared before my eyes. 
More beautiful than ever before. How can I meet again, I thought? 
Dinner parties? Lunch? I began feeling desparate. There is so 
little time! Someone special is leaving town! And then I 
remembered. It's not about what we're going to do. It's all about 
the feeling. What a gift, that I am feeling these feelings, being 
in love right now. Thank you! 

I am lucky lucky lucky! I am in love!
