The Diner Episode 3

Fasting and Eros
2

Welcome to the Diner! Come join us for a slice of mental pie.

For the curious — the quote Lisa couldn’t remember from Way of the Ascetics is this: “He who fasts much is he who loves much.”

This week we are talking about fasting and eros. Take a listen and contemplate the following ideas:

  • Think about fasting as purifying eros and feasting as intensifying it.

  • Think about our own power of eros, our desiring power and what happens when we get what we want, what we desire.

  • Do we often get what we want?

  • How does not getting what we want now help us to want the right things?
