...love and create. The libidinal mystic Norman O. Brown wants to return to the unfettered pleasure seeking of infancy, where all "pansexual" desires are instantly gratified. "The real world," he writes in Love's Body, "is the world where thoughts are omnipotent, where no distinction is drawn between wish and deed." Even mental aberration can be a form of Utopia, maintains British Psychoanalyst R.D. Laing (see BEHAVIOR).
