How Unknowing Relates to Chaste Yet Ardent Eros

Welcome to The Diner!

It’s season two and you won’t want to miss out. Come sit at the counter of our virtual diner and let us serve you a slice of mental pie! It’ll go good with a cup of coffee, then you get your refreshed self back to the fray with a few new beautiful thoughts to think.

Today’s episode starts exploring shame and its relation to unknowing ourselves as well as to chaste, yet ardent, eros. When we unknow ourselves we peel back the walls of protective persona we have built up around ourselves in order to feel safe in the world, and we begin to see, not only who we really are, but who He is, and to ignite our longing for Him over all else.

And don’t forget to check out Laura’s new sex ed curriculum: Sex Ed for Sane People

It’s “…a sex education curriculum written from an Orthodox perspective, from an author with a bachelor's degree in biology. Written for high school students on the cusp of adulthood, with the prerequisite of high school biology, this course introduces concepts in anatomy and physiology, embryology, theology, and ethics. This material is framed and presented as an expression of religious freedom.”
