Namaste!
...e...the spiral is the symbol for philerosophi, & 'e' is the closest i could get to picture this easily; without learning how to draw pictures that is...e...which i DO have to learn soon...e...philerosophilerosophilerosophi...e...since it circle's back into itself...e...but change moves in spirals, not circle's, so MORE 'love comes to town' in the form of agape...e...AGAPE! the infinite, eternal "i am" is in the Agape; a gap-e...e!...so we have:
1 - philia; 'masculine' ?brotherly? love
2 - eros ; 'feminine' ?erotic? love
3 - sophia; God give me the wisdom to know the difference...
4 - agape; 'androgenous' ?spiritual? love
The Greek words for 'love'...!
...e...so why the '?...?' around the forms of love above?...e...because, like all words, love's meaning changes over the ages with the word's expansion into new realms, or contraction from previous vista's, giving us an appreciation of how the grandious meta-metaphor of love itself spiral's through different strands of understanding...e...yet always remaining erotically interwoven within itself...
...thus, finally, 'agape' is the mystery that completes the trinity of 'the types of love', the light between, the no-thing, a gap 'e' between the different types of love, & how to loosly define the difference amongst them?...e...yet also delineate the continuance of them...e...turning the circle into a spiral so growth can continue & we escape the trap of the circle...e...apparently pi, yet in real-it-i; phi!!...e...!!...can be both oh so easily as well if one's imagination can stretch into the irrational...e...which is what both of these numbers are after all; irrational...e...trancendental...e...it's all spiritual...e...
...e...i found it very interesting how in the previous link it was described as originally being closely associated with feasting; like the food was consciously being viewed as the material symbol for the ultimate sacrifice...e...giving all of itself for the good of others...e...
More on the 'Agape feast' here
...e...HOWEVER if you look up the 'Agape' Wikipedia entry by itself, it is defined differently again from 'The Greek words for 'love'' link above:
'Agape' defined in isolation
ANYWAY..!!
i think i'd forgotten to introduce agape before this...? have i?
It's funny that these irrational, trancendental numbers also are 1, 2, 3 + a bit for each of them:
'pi' & 'phi' with 'e' being the 3rd irrational number in the set - didn't know that till now!
...enough for now...e...!
peace!!
