Philosophical-cultural analysis of the phenomenon of eroticism as a way of immortality achievement

Ancient oriental philosophy is extensive and very rich in a variety of topics. Practically, there is no question that had not been consecrated in it. Such a particular topic as erotic philosophy, as well as topics of politics, ways of knowing, ontological questions, is actively represented in Eastern philosophy. It was not only aimed at the widespread knowledge and the development of erotic practices. It is looking for the true meaning of Eros and finds it in the Eros' pursuit of personality immortality. Thinkers of the ancient East: India, China, Tibet, suggested uniting the spiritual and the material beginnings, where Eros is not so much for pleasure but is the actual practice of physical and spiritual content focused on personality's self-improvement and immortality, on overcoming the destructive forces acting internally and externally. In general, the ancient oriental philosophy does not oppose the body and spirit. On the contrary, it prefers to join them, because it believes that it is separation that creates insurmountable contradiction, generates negative effects, leading ultimately to the death of a person. In addition, a very important aspect is physicality, because the body becomes the foundation of a new renaissance of a person. Body in ancient oriental texts denies depravity, rejecting destructive desires and habits, trying to be a true vessel of the spirit that elevates it and gives way to self-improvement through comprehension and learning harmony. Self-improvement through Eros, creative perception of the world, Eros and creativity, creation and generation of new meanings, overcoming narrow understanding of time, space and life - this i what erotization of creativity is aimed at. The human body becomes open to Logos and with the Logos it wants to understand the world, getting into it by cognizing it not only at the practical level, but also at the ideal and energy levels. The whole world is imbued with energy, and the world, one way or another, lives according to the law of energy conservation. One needs a balance that creates harmony and life. Too much power or too little of it creates a path to self-destruction, to dying, to growing destruction and chaos.
