dynamics between Eros and Psyche represented for the teachers of that
period, the way to exit from any kind of individual or collective problem.
We are thinking of Eraclito’s Enantiodromia, the unfying movement of
the opposite principles and the currents coming from the East and the

ourselves as a sense of Reality, so we can then start searching again for
more knowledge. Eros is love that enligths the knowledge: he is the God
allied with Zeus in defending Psyche, taking her out from hell and getting
her close to Zeus who meanwhile kidnaps and joins Gaminede symbol of
corporeal and formal beauty. The Light (Zeus) love (Eros), the handsome
(Gaminede) and Soul (Psyche) are together the ideal process for human
history: this is what is lacking when we refer to war for war, to death for
death, to schizophrenia for schizophrenia.
