Mysticism of Sexual Union
Mysticism of Sexual Union
In the Book of Genesis, it reveals that adoption of nudity as a chief human trait is complemented by matrimonial union as a theological and poetic topos. The interactive structure of the two genders mirrors the love uniting mankind to divinity. The love relation of two human beings can be seen as the best icon for the more ethereal, profound. The expression religio amoris, generally employed to identify the devotion of the lover to his beloved in courtly love, is variously used to refer to Christianity and to medieval secular love in the courtly form. The matrimonial union of two genders coincides with the inextricable bond of fraternity and sorority uniting all creation. All creatures are at the same time siblings and spouses, they are the sons and daughters of the same divinity, and they form a single entity through the bond of marital love.
