“Loving is an authentic psychological task, the most demanding there is, just because it activates in us new ways of knowing ourselves.’" --- Aldo Carotenuto

The myth of Eros and Psyche can be read as a myth of initiation orchestrated by the goddess Aphrodite, a personification (or archetype) of love, sexuality, and beauty as enlivening powers that bring us into relationship with someone or something in particular. 

The story tells us something about the demands of this type of love, and what is required to express and live it. 

It also offers an opportunity to reflect on the transpersonal energies and patterns that shape human life and comprise our destiny.
