At the Last Supper John - the disciple Jesus loved - laid his head against Jesus' chest.
This is an unconscious action to lay your head against the beloved's heart in order to receive his love.
In our modern society to love another man is almost an oxymoron.
"You don't do that! They might call me a poofter!"
But loving other men is an attribute of the very highest spirituality.
Jesus, Rumi, David, Socrates, Buddha all loved other men.
Love is the bond between Jesus and his disciples and love is traditionally the relationship between spiritual teachers and their students.
So far from being a sin or a disgrace loving other men may well be the highest spiritual calling.
