The sexuality of an individual who attained Christ-realization is a controversial subject, to be sure. Even in this day of acceptance - or at least, tolerance - in most of the Western societies of orientations other than heterosexual, asking the question: "What would Jesus be like sexually?" is likely to raise indignant condemnation and furious objections among a large part of the population. However, this subject is vital to the understanding of the direction in which humanity is heading in the next loop of its evolutionary spiral.
