That will also apply to anyone who follows and interprets institutionalized religion in a literal unquestioning way. If you don't relate to the idea of reincarnation or taking responsibility for your life this book might not be to your liking. The book gets into the three building blocks of energy, mind, past lives and explains this and a multitude of other bits of extremely helpful/soul expanding realities in a concise fashion. There is alot of insightful information for the metaphysical newbe as well as for those who have been 'on the path to understand the bigger picture' for a while. The author gets into the possible whys a soul chooses this variable (a gay orientation) before that soul incarnates into the Earth plane as we know it. MATTHEW RICHARDSON'S wonderful book GAY SPIRIT - WHY AM I GAY? (UNDERSTANDING GAY SEXUALITY) is an outstanding metaphysical start to understanding the journey a gay person makes. I quite enjoyed this book and found it rather profound in fact I would say it's definitely in my top five books on spirituality focusing on the individual gay experience.
