Bamforth, Nick, Duality Into Unity: A Spiritual
and Social Vision for the Millennium
Seeks to replace the materialist ethic that has dominated
the history of Western society. Part one shows how each stride
forward in our own self awareness has taken us away from a sense
of Unity. Part two demonstrates the lessons to be learned from
understanding our own responsibility in this process.

Dahlberg, Edward, Sorrows of Priapus
An exploration of human sexuality and aspiration in myth,
legend and actuality. It deals with the mind and body as the heritage
of the great Hebraic and Hellenistic traditions and then fuses
them with that of pre-Columbian America. His labyrinthine syntax
and laconic observation are deployed in the service of a misanthropy
which is funny and chilling by turns.

roots of institutionalized sexism and suggested directions for
partnerships outside this anarchy.

a strange and alien new world.

Downing, Christine , Myths and Mysteries of Same-Sex
Love
Downing clears away the modern myth" of homosexuality
in order to retrieve a deeper understanding of women's love of
women and men's love of men. The first half looks anew at what
the depth psychologists, including Freud and Jung, have written
about homosexuality. The second half turns to the myths about
homosexual desire that were told and retold in ancient Greece,
a culture where same-sex loving was validated as a part of everyone's
normal eroticism.

Church.

Highwater, Jamake, Language of Vision: Meditations
on Myth and Metaphor
This book is about the vastly different ways artists have
found through the labyrinth of dreams. The author discusses such
subjects as myth discovery, imagination as political power, homosexuality
as metaphor, cultural piracy, the body as metaphor, the death
of the sacred, iconography as destiny, the reinvention of the
past, and play as mythology.
Highwater, Jamake, Myth and Sexuality
This fascinating study shows that far from being the most
natural force of our lives, sexuality is the one most susceptible
to cultural influences. Each culture designates various practices
as appropriate or inappropriate, moral or immoral, healthy or
unhealthy.

sexual orientation, future patterns of research.
