Us
It’s fascinating that we actually DO want each other, but in a bizarre reversed way. You want me.. to want you. And that is exactly what I want from you.
Can we say “I want you” to one another and stop the sentence right there? Only to continue the conversation using just the body language.

"We males are fascinated by a beautiful painting, or are enchanted by a beautiful sunset, or are captivated when observing an eclipse through an observatory. But the woman immediately provokes in us the craving of possessing her, the urge of becoming one with her, the drive of integrating with her, in order to participate in the plentitude of the universe.
Nevertheless, we must not, in any way, look at love or at women in morbid manner, we must remember that love in itself is pure, holy, and noble.
When a male defiles a woman with his perverse gaze, indubitably he marches on the path of degeneration.
We must learn to see woman purely, in all of her natural beauty.
For us males, the woman, born for a holy destiny, is the only being that can liberate us from the chain of pain.
For women the male is something similar; she sees in the man all hope, all protection, she wants to be completed by the man, she sees in him precisely the masculine eternal principle, the force that has put into activity all that is, everything that has been, and all that will be.
Indeed, man and woman are truly the two pillars of the temple. These two columns must not be overly close nor exorbitantly away from each other, there must be a space so that the light can pass between them."
—Samael Aun Weor, Sexology

Psyche and Eros are central characters in Ancient Greek mythology. Psyche is symbolized as beauty and the human soul, while Eros is known as the god of love and passion. The story typically begins with Psyche being subjected to the jealousy of Aphrodite due to her beauty, and Eros falling in love with her. Eros defies the laws of the gods by secretly loving Psyche and visiting her at night. However, one day Psyche becomes curious about his true identity and, upon lighting a lamp, becomes enchanted when she sees Eros' face. This event leads to Eros fleeing and Psyche embarking on a quest to find him. Eventually, with the intervention of Zeus, Psyche and Eros are reunited, and Psyche is elevated to the status of an immortal goddess. This story explores themes such as the power of love, jealousy, and the human spiritual journey.
Psyche ve Eros, Antik Yunan mitolojisinde önemli bir hikayenin ana karakterleridir. Psyche, güzellik ve insan ruhu sembolü olarak tanımlanır. Eros ise aşkın ve tutkunun tanrısı olarak bilinir. Hikaye, genellikle Psyche'nin güzelliği nedeniyle Afrodit'in kıskançlığına maruz kalması ve Eros'un ona aşık olmasıyla başlar. Eros, Psyche'yi gizlice sevdiği için tanrıların yasaklarına karşı gelir ve onu görmek için geceleri gelir. Ancak, bir gün Psyche onun gerçek kimliğini öğrenmek ister ve bir lamba yakar, Eros'un yüzünü gördüğünde ise ona büyülenir. Bu olay, Eros'un kaçmasına ve Psyche'nin onu bulmak için uzun bir yolculuğa çıkmasına neden olur. Sonunda, Zeus'un müdahalesiyle Psyche ve Eros tekrar bir araya gelir ve Psyche ölümsüz tanrıça statüsüne yükseltilir. Bu hikaye, aşkın gücü, kıskançlık ve insanın ruhsal yolculuğu gibi temaları ele alır.
