Totally. He's doing that on purpose. You know, he wants to get rid of all the shame and secrecy that surrounded the body back then. He's saying, let's just talk about this. Let's acknowledge our physical selves. And he goes even further than just acceptance. He actually elevates the body to this almost sacred level. He even writes this head more than churches, Bibles, and all the creeds.
