The Essence of Chesed: Boundary Breaking and Desire

Chesed, meaning radical love and desire, goes beyond limitations and traditional laws to seek passionate connection with the Divine. It embodies boundary-breaking eros, allowing for a fuller, more passionate engagement in spirituality. It's about experiencing love that overwhelms, yet initiates a deeper connection beyond conventional boundaries to achieve a sense of radical merger and ecstasy.
