Telerotic
Contextual Quote
"It’s the combination of the words “telos” and “eros” and it means to fall in love with the fulfillment of the potential of the whole. I’ve ...always been attracted to emergent possibilities, the telos inherent in evolution towards higher consciousness & greater complexity. So telerotic for me means to fall in love with the universe becoming more complex, more aware, & more self-aware."

Marc Gafni and Zachary Stein:
"As we have fewer children and live longer lives, we are entering a new period of Eros itself. We call it “Telerotic” , that is the combination of Eros, and Telos, or high purpose. When we become “vocationally aroused” by our desire to express our unique creativity we yearn to join genius with others who need our gift as we need theirs. This joining in love and creativity activates more of our potential. We find ourselves becoming newer, more excited by life, regenerating."
