Ecstasy

We have a collective longing for ecstasy, a hunger as fundamental and persistent as the need for food. How interesting that our bodies are designed – “hardwired” – for the experience of ecstasy and yet, for so many people in the contemporary world, the condition of ecstasy deprivation creates so much suffering. We remember a certain free abandon that we experienced as young children, a deep connection with our bodies and with subtle worlds – we want to return.
