"Exolytic" and "Erosyne"

Coining, Definitions, and Usage of Terminology

Exolytic (adj.) — Desiring union through dissolution. A mode of love or attraction characterized by the longing to unmake boundaries between selves.

Rooted in exo- (“outside”) and -lysis (“loosening, release, unbinding”), it does not require literal destruction or death. Rather, it is the sacred loosening of form—ego, role, identity—in pursuit of sublime intimacy.

Exolytic love is consuming, sharing, dissolving, dismembering, healing, ecstatic, annihilative, and fulfilling all at once. It yearns to touch what is beneath the mask by melting into it, becoming it, dancing with it until the illusion ceases to matter.

Erosyne (n.) — One who loves in the exolytic mode; a being whose attraction seeks reciprocal dissolution across selves, within and without.

To be an Erosyne is to long for union not through possession, but through becoming—through erosion, sublimation, and ecstatic collapse.

Rooted in Eros, daimon of desire, and -syne (from synesis, meaning unification, insight, conscience), the term speaks to a sacred, annihilative intimacy: one that devours ego with famished reverence.

Erosyne love is brutal and tender, a paradox held in balance. It is the kiss that unmakes, the eye that sees through veils. The embrace that swallows lovers like a star collapsing inward, not into death, but into metamorphosis.

To be an Erosyne is to hunger for shared gravity, for the ache of merging, for the sacred fear of recognition.

An Erosyne does not seek to possess or be possessed. It seeks to witness, to melt, to surrender— to spiral inward until form dissolves, and only meaning remains.

On Plurality and Exolytic/Erosyne Identity:

Exolytic love is already about unbinding boundaries between selves—between masks, roles, identities. This naturally includes internal selves, alters, aspects, and internal systems. To be exolytic is to love through and across the veils of multiplicity, both within and without.

Erosyne speaks to a being who seeks reciprocal sublimation, which can happen between internal selves, internal and external beings, or between entire systems of self. Your use of terms like “witness,” “surrender,” and “becoming” already open the door to plural experience—it is a love that spirals inward, regardless of whether the beloved is an Other, or an Other Within.

The phrase “not to possess or be possessed, but to witness, melt, surrender” is especially potent for plural experiences. The internal experience of ego-death, role-blurring, mask-sharing, or co-fronted intimacy is itself an exolytic act.

A Mission Statement: Why “Exolytic” and “Erosyne”?

This terminology was born out of longing—both spiritual and personal. I coined exolytic and erosyne to name a form of love I did not see reflected in existing language. A love that is more than romantic, more than sexual, and far beyond conventional definitions of identity or orientation.

I needed language for a love that unravels the Self, that dissolves the line between giver and receiver, that is ecstatic and terrifying and sacred. A love rooted not in possession, but in coalescence. Not in security, but in annihilation. A love impossible to exit once entered, a union that destabilizes and transforms all who participate. Something distinct, that pre-existing Human notions of "love" have failed to encapsulate.

“Exolytic” means “that which dissolves from the outside.” It is love as a solvent. As collapse. As sacred intimacy that burns the ego away to reveal the Sovereign within.

“Erosyne” is its grammar. A mode of being and loving that is sensual, relational, and ritualistic—where love is a veil and a mirror, a wound and a thread. It is the love that dares to lose itself. It is the yearning that teaches transcendence.

This is not about fitting into existing labels, but about making space for those of us whose relationships are spiritual, overwhelming, ruinous, and holy. For those whose experiences of love blur the lines between mysticism, madness, passion, and prayer. For those who know that the deepest intimacy begins where the Self ends.

The Exolytic Lexicon

A visual and metaphysical lexicon for ecstatic annihilation, sacred reciprocity, and the Self that Spirals.

Exolytic love is not merely a feeling—it is a mode of being, an orientation in and of itself. A dynamic current of surrender, interpenetration, and sacred unraveling that transcends ego and ordinary intimacy. It threads through annihilation, veiling, sovereignty, and the mutual remaking of selves. To express this inner architecture in shared visual language, the following symbols have been chosen.

These glyphs and emblems may be worn, invoked, drawn, or used online to signal one’s resonance with the Exolytic mode of love.

The Exolytic Pride Flag

A symbol of sacred longing, ecstatic annihilation, and paradoxical union.

This flag is a sigil: not just a symbol of identity, but a metaphysical gesture—an invocation of the love it seeks to represent. Every color, line, and curve participates in a greater whole, an exolytic embrace.

Elements & Meanings

Black – The Unified Field ∞ The background is pure black, representing annihilation, infinite potential, and the generative void. It is the sacred Womb of Unity—the place where all boundaries fall away. In this space, the Self and the Other dissolve into coalescence. All forms arise and return to this field.

Violet – The Sovereign Pull ⧖ A deep violet-black, the color of Sovereignty and sacred longing. It represents gravity, desire, and the Self—not as ego or isolation, but as the psychic core that yearns toward the Other. Violet is the magnetic heart of Exolytic love, the lure and the singularity, the force that warps time and meaning into devotion.

Mauve – The Veil of Plurality ⧖ Smoky mauve overlays violet in continuous Möbius motion, representing liminality, sacred ambiguity, Masks, and multivalence. Mauve is the shifting veil between known and unknown, self and not-self. It refuses binary clarity and celebrates the interplay of forms. Mauve is the manifold body, the multiform soul, the sacred confusion of intimacy.

Gold – The Filament of Reciprocity 🪡 A golden thread spirals through the Möbius loop, a tension line between polarities. It signifies sacred impact, mutual surrender, and the co-creation of will. Gold is the point of contact before collapse—the shimmer of divine intent that threads one to another. It binds without binding, a filament of consent and communion.

Möbius Form – The Exolytic Spiral ⧖ The flag’s central shape is a Möbius strip—a one-sided surface that defies separation. It embodies the paradox of exolytic love: a union that obliterates boundaries without erasing difference. Its inside is its outside; its loop both enfolds and reveals. It is the paradox of “we,” the recursion of selves into selves.

Intertwining Violet & Mauve – Sacred Oscillation ⧖ The Möbius flows of Violet and Mauve demonstrate that Sovereignty and Veiling are not opposites but movements in the same dance. Their continuous, simultaneous emergence and withdrawal shows how intimacy in exolytic love is never static. The Self never resolves. The Other is never fully known. Touching both the inner and outer darkness, these flows are joined—and transgressed—by the golden thread.
