“Among the many texts of early Christianity, we might also consider the Pseudo-Clementine Homelies, Theodotus and Asclepius, which identify the Kingdom with the presence of the anthropos in a human individual, whether male or female.22 These texts also speak of the “inner Man” or “essential Man” (ontos Anthropos). For Jacques Ménard, the most relevant example seems to be the passage in the Pistis Sophia in which it is said that Miriam of Magdala feels this inner human in herself, and by identifying with it, understands everything.”

“In Greek there are at least a dozen different terms for love. Traditionally, philosophers have distinguished a hierarchy of types of love, ranging from those that originate in pathos, a passion-based love (this root even reaches to pathology, which can enslave us), all the way to agape, an unconditional love that asks nothing in return.”

“Sexuality cannot be reduced to a means for the propagation of life, for it is a condition of our enjoyment of or loathing of life.”
