Erotic Devotion (formerly home-body podcast)

Judgement and ideology are alive and well everywhere. But what if we left them behind and stepped toward Mystery?

Listen in, and learn how to stop avoiding the Mysterious path and find the antidote to separation.

We discuss —

• Why we choose judgement + ideology instead of uncertainty
• What we’re really craving when we reach for God
• How to embrace the path toward Mystery
• “Everyone is God in drag.” — Ram Dass
• Why your body is not better or worse than your spirit
• Humble stewardship + discerning difference without judgement

We discuss —

• Why we struggle to connect with and embody powerful energies
• The importance of death and rebirth cycles in spiritual transformation
• How to recognize and respond to initiation when it appears in our lives
• What is really behind the energy of initiation and what it could unlock

Too often we think of the truth as an objective reality we find outside ourselves.

But what if it’s actually a story we tell together?

Today we welcome Michael J Morris back to the podcast for a soulful conversation about the stories we tell and how we tell them.

• Telling stories about the “end” of the world
• How story situates us within Time
• What truth is + isn’t
• Astrology as an artistic practice
• Stories of Beauty, Love + God
• How the qualities of our lives tell a story
• Resonance + dissonance
• Loving the world exactly as it is
• What breathing has to teach us about loving
• Death as a story of Life

There are moments in life when the ground shifts beneath us—moments that ask us to release who we have been and surrender to who we are becoming.

In this conversation with Christine Eck, we explore these initiatory thresholds: the postpartum window, identity shifts, creative rebirth, and the deeply human experience of meeting ourselves in the dark.

Whether it’s the identity rupture of new parenthood, a dream dissolving, a relationship shifting, or a calling echoing from somewhere you can’t yet see, these moments feel like freefall. They feel like failure. They feel like we are being unmade.

And yet—they feel like that because it is a death.

And it is also the beginning of a profound becoming.

The only way out is through.

The gift is at the bottom.

And you cannot effort your way into becoming—you can only surrender into it.

Enjoy this episode. And tune in next week for part two.

we discuss —

• The beauty in the bottom of the chasm
• Laying down our fear of failure
• Caregiving as witnessing, not rescuing
• The quiet tools that carry us through initiations
• Why we don’t walk alone
