We have been brought up to believe that our mind is cohesive, singular, and in control. This paradoxical feature of the human psyche both serves us and hinders us in key ways. On the contrary, we are actually many minds in one, and the unconscious dimension of our psyches drives the majority of our human experience. Our journeys into wholeness require that we make peace with and integrate those aspects of ourselves that we have cast out in order to secure love and acceptance. In our darkest places, if we brave them, we uncover opportunities to cultivate tremendous personal power and spiritual light. Two models play a game with dice in which they use their bodies to represent three different aspects of sexuality. 1) Love: slow, contactful and holding space for union. Their movement creates a sense of sensuality and blurring of individual identity. 2) Lust: this is animalistic and brutal; they are aiming for intensity and the edge of civility, wild animals tearing each other. 3) Power: in this round, they play with various combinations of power exchange and control.
