Each one of us is permanently in an erotic-creative union with an invisible bridegroom/bride

in whose body we incessantly die and from whose body we are incessantly born. It is an orgasmic relationship of which the genital aspect is only a reflex, a reminder, a representation. Our true erotic relationship is with the king, or queen, of the invisible. Our invisible partner is many in one and one in many, so our partner is ours exclusively, yet at the same time is as many as there are men and women in the world. The genital aspect, which is commonly experienced with our earthly partner, the individual, acts as a reminder of our divine union. When the divine union is fully accomplished, the reminder is no longer needed.
