 | Essential Gay Msytics by Andrew Harvey
The mystic experience is the direct, unmediated experience of what Bede Griffiths described as the presence of an almost unfathomable mystery ... which seems to be drawing me to itself . This awakening to a divine, eternal presence is always described in terms of wonder, adoration, and rapture, as an ecstatic and intimate communion. Frequently, accounts of such glimpses beyond the curtain of day-to-day reality take the form of poetry, and often the metaphors used to detail the indescribable are those of passionate union with a divine lover. From Sappho to Whitman, Vergil to Audre Lorde, same-gender lovers have been foremost in the ranks of artists whose work reflects this vision of the sacredness of love, a belief that the divine revels in our passion for joy and beauty, and manifests through and in it . Now Andrew Harvey - teacher, poet, and mystic, as well as frequent writer and lecturer on mystic experience, the Sufi poet Rumi, and the divine feminine - brings together a bountiful and unprecedented selection of gay, lesbian, and bisexual writers whose works illuminate the mystical path. Not surprisingly, many of these texts take the form of the most ardent love lyrics and psalms to male and female beauty, for this is the radical gift of the gay mystics: the lesson that the transcendent union with the divine can come through the body and the senses, rather than by denial of the body and asceticism. The Essential Gay Mystics includes texts from the Greeks and Romans (Sappho, Plato, Euripides; Vergil, Horace, the Galli ), the Native American berdache tradition, the ancient Far East (Qu Yuan, Kukai, Basho), and the Persian Sufi traditions (Attar, Sadi, Hafiz, Jami), as well as works from literary figures from the Renaissance to the twentieth century, each presented with a short biographical introduction. Michelangelo, who in his sonnets explored the mystery of the relationship between human and divine beauty, who set himself the sacred task of transmuting human de AUTHOR: Andrew Harvey
