Perhaps We Reincarnate the Lives of Everyone Who Has Lived Before Us Perhaps we modern gay and queer men reincarnate the lives of all the homosexuals who have lived before us. Perhaps this is a myth we can create for ourselves about ourselves. Whether we know it or intend it so, our lives are made of myths. We understand our experience out of the lessons we’ve been taught through a multitude of stories we inherited from the past. In The Missing Myth: A New Vision of Same-Sex Love (2013), Gilles Herrada, the mythologist/molecular biologist, argues that modern gay consciousness lacks an explanatory myth. In Western culture, there just haven’t been stories that explain homosexuality as part of human ecology. Herrada cites Michel Foucault, the French “postmodernist” philosopher and historian of ideas whose History of Sexuality and ideas about construction of thought created whole new academic departments of “Queer Studies.” Foucault argued that there’s no essential sexuality in humans, no human nature. Sexual identities and styles of behavior are created by economic, political and social conditions and driven by power struggles, and are always changing. Foucault explained the models of homosexuality in the past were based on anal penetration as a sign of dominance: transgenerational, transgender, and transclass, i.e., of adult male and pubescent boys (the familiar Greek model), of butch men and femme men, of upperclass and workingclass. Like the gay historian and philosopher of religion/spirituality, Will Roscoe, Gilles Herrada observes that modern gay consciousness breaks this mold by championing equality and mutuality. In this change I think we can find a clue to a much larger dynamic of consciousness that helps “explain” reincarnation. I was sensitized to an alternative form of homosexual experience by some seven years as a Catholic seminarian/monk at the very end of the era when everything changed—Catholic and otherwise. I would like to call this alternative model of homosexuality “monastic” or “chaste.” The focus wasn’t on sexual organs and penetrating/being penetrated because that wasn’t happening at all. The focus was on love and interpersonal affection because that was. For centuries, men and women who weren’t interested in marriage and childrearing understood their lack of heterosexual feelings as religious vocation. The monastery and convent were the place to live a life of service without having to be sexual. Other ways of avoiding marriage included being servants, artists, tutors, teachers, sailors, travelers, etc., and, ironically, also soldiers. To the extent that Christianity and male-dominance proscribed anality of any sort as unnatural, the monks—I propose—didn’t think of themselves as not-homosexual because they weren’t have anal intercourse; intercourse wasn’t even part of their imagination. They experienced “homosexuality” as the formation of deep personal friendships and deep community with other monks. To them, they weren’t “having sex” if they weren’t married and procreating children. Who knows if some of them were “sexual” with one another? I can’t help but imagine that men who weren’t having sex or masturbating at all were having spontaneous emissions and wet-dreams; males necessarily jettison excess reproductive fluids in order to make room for fresh, motile sperm cells. To the extent any of them were affectionate with one another, the sex would likely have been simple frottage and it would probably have seemed accidental. But, again, the sex isn’t the point; the point was the life of service with other same-sex friends without having children. Roscoe argues in Jesus and the Shamanic Tradition of Same-Sex Love that such “love of equals” was the core teaching of Jesus: men (i.e., people) treating other men as equals not as challengers and competitors for rank and power. That was a revolutionary idea. It wasn’t about sex; it was about relationship. In Revelations 14, the “one hundred and forty-four thousand” who are saved are described as singing a “new song,” that sounds like harps playing, that no one else could learn but them. “These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins… And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. (Revelations 14: 4-5, King James Bible). Those monks singing Office of Choir in Gregorian chant must certainly have thought of those lines as referring to them; they were “not defiled with women.” They were virgins—meaning they didn’t have children. Benedictine monks of the Middle Ages took a vow called “conversion of manner,” which meant to do everything the best way; they were “without fault.” When I was in the novitiate in the early sixties, I was taught that being unmarried was a higher state of life; it allowed you to live a life of service that wasn’t about your own progeny, i.e., vested in replicating your own genes. It was a life of community, not domesticity, a life outside the power dynamic between men and women, a life—obviously—for men and women who weren’t interested in the opposite sex and who explained this to themselves as a religious vocation. This model of homosexuality as asexuality exists well beyond the medieval monastery. It’s come down to us until quite recently as reverence for people who gave up sex for service: teachers and priests, nurses and nuns, etc., etc. I think such a model is actually one of the great archetypes of homosexuality. In the late nineteen-seventies, there was a style fad among gay men of wearing hooded sweatshirts under leather jackets. It’s always cold in San Francisco; layering is part of the dress code. It gave all the men in the Castro a certain monk-like look with cowls sticking up around the backs of their necks. Former monastics all. And I cannot help but think the traits of artistic talent, perfectionism and fastidiousness that seems so iconic for gay men—even when spoofed like Felix, the neat-freak, in Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple—is a resonance of conversion of manners. My own spiritual imagination resonates with the myth of reincarnation. While I don’t think “souls” move from one body in one lifetime to another body in another life—traditional reincarnation, Vedanta-style—I do think the lives of the people who have lived before us affect us—and do so at the “karmic” level. We resonate to the “vibes” their lives set off. That observation, I suggest, gave rise to the whole idea of reincarnation; people seem to come back in other people. Someday science will understand this, perhaps the way we understand DNA now. At present, it sounds sort of mystical and woo-woo. I think a lot of contemporary gay and lesbian people, though of course not all, resonate with this myth of “monastic homosexuality.” And their sexual lives are not about sex and power, domination and rank, but about love and affection, love of equals. They are reliving the lives humans lived in the past, adapted now to the demands and rewards of the present, joining in the grand ecology of life at this moment in history, the great dance of life. The myth of karma and reincarnation, I propose, is not about the course of individuals souls—as it appears on the surface and as it is popularized as an escape from mortality. In a way, it’s a mythological presentation of evolution: each generation improves because it learns from the past. It is a metaphor about the greater collective mind of the planet, of “God,” that lives on beyond all its incarnations. Each life is a note, a theme, a leitmotif in the symphony of life. Our lives now reprise the lives of those who have gone before. We dance to the music of the common band. We dance with old steps… and new. I suggest that we aren’t reincarnated as much as that we reincarnate. We are not the objects of the process, we are the subjects who are doing the incarnating. We choose to resonate with the patterns of the lives of those before us and the ways they experienced life. We reincarnate them the way an actor impersonates a real person; the actor Hal Holbrook, for instance, famously reincarnated Mark Twain, and the wonderful drag comedian Charles Pierce reincarnated Bette Davis (though with more eye makeup and less verisimilitude than Holbrook). Though we aren’t likely to be very conscious of it, we “choose” to do so because we do resonate with the vibes of their lives in the spirit field. You might consider those vibes to be the “soul” of specific persons, and see in this model the notion of a personal being. But you might also consider those vibes to be coming from many disparate lives. We are the reincarnation of everybody whose patterns we resonate with. This is reincarnation, Buddhist-style, without anybody being reincarnated. This parallels our modern genetic model of inheritance of traits. This is roughly how genes work. So maybe there is an “etheric” dimension to DNA or there are morphogenetic karma fields in consciousness. Science has yet to figure this out or incorporate it into our model, but certainly will as all this is understood better. The idea of reincarnation is a reminder, in Joseph Campbell’s words, that we are really manifestations in time and space of superconsciousness, “this undifferentiated yet everywhere particularized substratum of being… out of which [all things and beings] rise… and back into which they must ultimately dissolve” (The Hero with a Thousand Faces, 221). That we are all at root parts of the same Being, the “superconsciousness,” can be mythologized as the attraction of same to same. The Being that reincarnates in each of us can see itself in each other: “God” sees and loves “Godself” in the others, equals to equals. This is a myth we can create for ourselves to give meaning and resonance to our experience of attraction to sames. And we can understand that we are resonating with the lives of all the same-sex lovers who’ve gone before us. Here’s a myth for us that becomes “true” simply by our entertaining it in consciousness. Toby Johnson, former editor/publisher of White Crane Journal of Gay Men's Spirituality and author of several books on the gay spirituality movement, including Gay Spirituality: Gay Identity and the Transformation of Human Consciousness, has recently published a spirituality/philosophical autobiography titled Finding Your Own True Myth: What I Learned from Joseph Campbell.

Toby Johnson, PhD is author of nine books: three non-fiction books that apply the wisdom of his teacher and "wise old man," Joseph Campbell to modern-day social and religious problems, four gay genre novels that dramatize spiritual issues at the heart of gay identity, and two books on gay men's spiritualities and the mystical experience of homosexuality and editor of a collection of "myths" of gay men's consciousness. 

Johnson's book GAY SPIRITUALITY: The Role of Gay Identity in the Transformation of Human Consciousness won a Lambda Literary Award in 2000.

His  GAY PERSPECTIVE: Things Our [Homo]sexuality Tells Us about the Nature of God and the Universe was nominated for a Lammy in 2003. They remain in print.

FINDING YOUR OWN TRUE MYTH: What I Learned from Joseph Campbell: The Myth of the Great Secret III tells the story of Johnson's learning the real nature of religion and myth and discovering the spiritual qualities of gay male consciousness.
