Love, Mysticism and Myth

Love has innumerable dimensions and an awesome array of different effects in the world, so it is not surprising that one can find thousands of unique definitions of this universally celebrated human emotion. Each testament and definition is a single voice in a vast choir.

...

We need a new mythology in which homosexuals and bisexuals are fully accepted members of society. But the social reformation cannot stop here. The entire notion that male and female are the only natural sexes must be dropped in favor of a spectrum of sexual diversity. The notion that hermaphrodites are deformed human beings is absurd and dangerous. To fall outside of the norm is neither bad nor unnatural, and society has no right to surgically invade a person's body just because she or he does not fit into the normal boxes. All official forms and documents should have at least three boxes for gender: female, male, and other, because others do exist and they have a right to be acknowledged.

The bottom line is this: we need to reinvent our myths of erotic and romantic love. We need to do this not only so that we can stop oppressing sexual minorities, but so that we can reclaim the lost realms of our own spiritual lives.
