The Crossing is the transition that we need to make both individually and collectively to meet the challenges of our times: the transition from Homo Sapiens to Homo Amor.
When you have ‘crossed over’ to the other side, you will feel a change – not so much a better version of yourself as a different sense of self. I am no longer homo sapiens, I am an aspiring homo amor. I will look at the world differently, I will look at my purpose differently, I will relate in a different way, I will not feel separate, I will feel part of the whole.
This is the ambition of the Crossing.
Ofcourse we all regress at times, of course the change will need further nourishment, but deep inside our hearts there will be a picture of how it can be, a reference point that can guide is in a different way through the complexities of life and create a better world.
It’s not just about having a great experience, it’s also about learning a language with which to frame and share that experience. It’s also about being able to place that experience within the context of the world as it is right now and turn it into action.
It’s not enough to grow a bit, to wake up a bit, to improve ourselves a bit.
More of an identity change is needed:
from homo sapiens to homo amor.
We need a cultural leap – as happened in the renaissance, as happened with the abolition of slavery. At the moment culture is following technology but actually we need technology to follow culture.
As Marc Gafni formulated it in the teachings of CosmoErotic humanism,
In the great lineages, there is a term of speech: Our side and The Divine Side. In The Crossing, we cross to the other side. We no longer see only as separate-self humans, lost in the grasping of the lonely and traumatized ego. Rather, we cross over. We begin to see Reality with Divine Eyes, with God’s Eyes. We not only love but we are lived as Love. And to be a lover is to see with God’s Eyes. We are not merely separate parts seeking our own good. Rather are inseparable from the whole. We feel the Eros, the creativity, the joy, and the yearning of the whole moving though us. We become omni-considerate for the sake of the Whole.”
Since music is an important part of this journey, we will create a ‘“Crossing”-playlist with our favorit songs. We will be adding there regularly.
The first song we will add is one of James’ favorite songs, Spaces by Nils Frahm. This is a classic “energy” song, ascendent spirituality at its best, allowing the soul to rise up and fly!
