Teachings of the New Renaissance
Teachings of the New Renaissance


Foreword

Depending on where one stands on the matter, the following may sound as an argument in favor of, or against, homosexuality. I must say, for the record, that, even though I do express from a heterosexual perspective that does not give me the full picture of what I am trying to express, I am only concerned with the spiritual welfare of individuals. I express from an esoteric viewpoint that does not take into account the babbles of so-called moralists, preachers and teachers who view thew world from the limited perspective of their creed, and distort the Scriptures to brainwash their followers with biases and misconceptions they have themselves created.

In this chapter, it is clearly stated that even though it does not conform to the behaviorial patterns of the societies in which we live, homosexuality is a valid and gratifying expression of life, as worthy as any other sexual relationship in the eyes of the Supreme Energy we call God.

For eons of time, these behavioral patterns have taken precedence over the divine birthright of the individual to use, as he sees fit, the physical form he wears, as long as he conforms to the spiritual laws of love and compassion.

We are an intolerant society, a society of judges, and through a 'holier than thou' attitude, we reject whatever does not conform to our own thought patterns, religious beliefs and ways of life. In a word, we ask God to understand our human weaknesses, but we are prone to refuse the same rights to our human brothers and sisters who do not share the same viewpoint or the same experience.

These teachings are universal, and they never change. The Master Jesus tried to convey the same truths, and he was rejected. Humanity must change its ways, and the battle of Armageddon, which is spoken about in the Bible, will not be fought on the battlefields of the world or in the sky, but within the self. It will be a battle against all the limitations we call the capital sins, the final combat between good and evil, where all those who will have overcome the demons of hate, greed, selfishness and, in the present case, intolerance, will have won the right to become a part of the New Age and the New Renaissance of humanity.

May this 'exposé' help you understand the uniqueness of each form of life, and the love God bestows, without discrimination, on all His children. NOW IS THE TIME.

Homosexuality

[Updated September 2000]

Throughout the ages, homosexuality has perplexed a fearful humanity, because it has always been considered as a deviation stemming from a perverse mind, rather than a normal reaction to circumstances over which the individual has no control. It has been reproved by most societies of the world, and the leaders of those societies did everything in their power to ignore what they considered a shameful behavior, helped in that by the orthodoxy and intolerance of religions that have distorted the true nature of sexuality and sowed fear in the minds of those that were placed in their spiritual care.

Either through ignorance or erroneous beliefs, it has been linked to a negative aspect of spirituality when, in reality, it is only another means to express the God who dwells within the body. It is, in fact, an outlet to imperative needs, urges and desires which, due to karmic considerations that are beyond our understanding, cannot find a more adequate (from a tridimensional viewpoint) channel to express the flow of sexual energy, which is, in fact, the divine energy. All this must be seen in a universal perspective that encompasses all the lives we have lived, as the cosmic causes and consequences of homosexuality are felt far beyond the tridimensional reality we call time and space. The error has rather been to confine ourselves within the limitations of church laws, thus becoming, as we can see in today's world, pitiless and intolerant societies.

Faced with such environmental blocks and taboos, homosexuality became a subject to be avoided and homosexuals did everything they could to hide a behavior that did not meet the approval of the family circle and society in general. Some of them tried to normalize their social status by going out with the opposite sex or getting married, thus condemning themselves to a life of frustration and unhappiness, not forgetting the unfortunate mate who, having discovered the partner had a different and opposite view on sexuality, remained within the relationship because of social and religious constraints, or simply because he, or she, didn't want to break up the family circle.

Now, the pendulum swings in the opposite direction, where we see yesterday's outcasts claiming the right to live their own life and their own sexuality as they see fit. They are seen in public, walking hand in hand and behaving like lovers, impervious to what others may say, or think, of their ‘unorthodox’ behavior. Whereas, in the past, they were ashamed of their homosexuality, now they want to live a normal life because, in spite of the orthodox views of churches and society, they are normal people.

Humanity, as a whole, has been harsh and judgmental towards homosexuals, and its approach to a problem that is more psychological than physiological, denotes the fear human beings experience within themselves, when they are confronted with situations, behavioral attitudes or teachings, that do not fit into their own patterns of acceptance, or the ways and customs of their respective society.

For example, since times immemorial, lepers had been outcasts of society, not because they were hated, but simply because it was believed that whoever came in contact with one of them, had a good chance of catching the disease. They were confined to specific locations, isolated from parents, relatives and friends who could only converse with them from a safe distance. Nowadays, they are accepted and treated as the human beings they are, and Cardinal Leger's work in that field has been of great help in demystifying the disease, thus facilitating the reinstatement of lepers into society.

Visualizing the problem of homosexuality in a more universal context, we may have entertained, within the psyche, a fear identical to the one felt with regard to leprosy. Throughout the many incarnations we have had, and will have on the physical plane, we experience life as both male and female. The spirit has no particular gender and incorporates all the attributes of the masculine and femine vibration. The reincarnational process is an intrinsic part of human experience, and all our actions are but the reflection of the lessons we learned during these lives. Thus, during the millions of years of our existence, we have experienced life in all its forms, including homosexuality, and this experience is also an intrinsic part of what we have become. One must not forget that each incarnation is limited to specific lessons, and it is not because we have willingly chosen an heterosexual experience this time around, that we must deny those who have, also willingly, chosen another means of expression. Their experience of the present has been our own experience of the past, and when Jesus said, If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her, he was referring, not only to the present life, but to all the lives of those who were about to stone Mary of Magdala. This is why our own vision must extend beyond space and time, and we must see humanity in a cosmic perspective where we recognize, in all humility, that we all have lessons to learn, and mistakes to correct.

We perceive the world according to the karmic agreements taken prior to our entrance into the world. This is why, in the schools of the astral and higher dimensions, we have been taught the lessons inherent to the environment, the body type and the mission of life we have chosen. We have been made aware of all the limitations, sufferings, and hardships these agreements would entail if we do not live that life according to the laws of creation. Therefore, it is up to us to heed the lessons or repeat the mistakes of the past. The more we listen to that little voice within, the more we are in agreement with the law of cause and effect, and the more we fulfil our life's mission.

Cosmically speaking, the perception homosexuals have of themselves is subordinated to that law of cause and effect, and the karmic agreements take precedence over any conscious desire or constraint. Because of those karmic agreements, their perception of sexuality is filtered through the lenses of the spirit and, according to the lessons to be learned, each of them follows the path that will bring the best results and the better fulfilment. Thus, each reacts on the basis of the data received from the inner self, which, of course, does take into account the karmic agreements made prior to entering the world once again.

Through lack of proper counseling, most homosexuals do not understand what is happening to them, but they will nevertheless follow their true desires and live their life more fully. Thus have we seen married people leave the heterosexual partner and live a homosexual life, thus having, in the physical, experiences that are valid and enriching, but not in accord with the established ways and customs of the society in which they live.

I emphasize the fact that, even though heterosexual relationships are the accepted form of sexual expression, sexual relationships between individuals of the same sex have their raison d'etre, for they are the effect of a cause, and no one can escape the law of cause and effect, or karma. Again, all life experiences, including homosexuality, have been chosen prior to our entrance into the world, and it is a violation of the individual's free-will and birthright and God’s law, to judge, coerce, or ridicule, any of these life's expressions.

Good education is the spine of spirituality and the promise of a healthy and fruitful life. It is the signpost along the way that will help shape the course of all relationships, and it will exert a considerable influence on children with regard to their future behavior and ultimate destiny. And this is why it is important for them to become aware of their body, of the characteristics inherent to their particular gender in order for them to recognize and understand the singularity of their life's experience in the body and sex they have themselves chosen before incarnating into the world once again.

The more we become conscious of our individual role in the world, the more tolerant we are towards other human beings. Intolerance is but the product of our ignorance, doubts and uncertainties, and when confronted to a problem such as homosexuality, it is possible that these doubts and uncertainties ‘unconsciously’ prompt some of us to fear the emergence of problems having to do with our own sexual behavior. Buried deep within what we call the unconscious, that fear manifests itself within the concepts of morality of all those who cling to the materiality and frailty of church laws, but fail to see the necessity, variety and grandeur of all life experiences.

All these prominent evangelists, pastors, and preachers who brandish the specter of hell, and expound homosexuality as a perverse act and a sin against God, are only reflecting their own fears and their own conscious, or unconscious, deviations from the laws of God. A clear conscience does not feel the need to judge others. It is those that are at war with their own negative thought forms who feel the need to punish others.

Spiritual teaching is exactly what the word implies: the teaching of spiritual truths that emcompass a multidimensional world of creativity and unlimited freedom, a world that has nothing to do with the negative concepts of sin, punishment and hell. Through the many lives we live, we all have, or will, experience life as male or female, husband or wife, prostitute, homosexual, murderer, victim and the list can go on indefinitely. The world is a classroom of experience that hasten our spiritual growth in ways we do not fully understand as we do not have a full picture of who we are in reality.

Again, it is as the Master Jesus said: Judge not, lest you be judged! Instead of focusing on the material expression through the false morality concepts of the world, we should open to the freedom of our own individuality, and expand, each in our own pre-determined role, to the full understanding of our specific mission in the world. As long as we concentrate on other people’s behavior, it will be very difficult to progress spiritually. Our role in this life is not to tell others what to do, but rather to show the way, living our life as the true children of God we all are.

A homosexual (the word 'homosexual' is taken here in its broader sense, and applies to both males and females of the 'gay' community) is defined as a person having sexual desires directed towards one of the same sex. [Webster's Dictionary] In the dictionary it is clear-cut, and it says exactly what it wants to say. But, in the religious community and society in general, it is not as simple as that: Homosexuality is a perversion! Homosexuality is a sin!

Thus, through ignorance and lack of charity, it has become a scapegoat that has allowed all pharisians of past and present generations to pray to God in clear conscience, God, I thank you that I am not like other men that are robbers, evildoers, adulterers... [Luke 18:11 Good News Bible - United Bible Societies]

We have been raised on false and rigid principles that never took into account the individual’s free-will of expression and his right to express himself, not through the eyes of society, but througth his own intuitive feelings and desires and the prime directive of his spirit. Firmly encased within all great religions, those erroneous principles have been at the origin of all the wars that have devastated all physical worlds, and they are the main stumbling blocks to the emergence or manifestation of the Christ in each of us.

Again, homosexuality has to do with the law of cause and effect (reincarnation), unknown to most religions, and the karmic patterns agreed upon prior to our entrance into the world define the course our life will take and the path we will follow in order to learn the lessons inherent to that incarnation.

To that purpose, there is, within each of us, an indelible memory of all the lives we have lived and our thoughts and actions, good or bad, are forever inscribed within the human form, for each spirit that incarnates into the world is the sum of all the lives it has lived since the beginning of creativity. Thus, it goes without saying that the the reincarnational factor plays an important, if not the most important, role in human life and, needless to say, in the life of gay people, for homosexuality is the consequence, direct or indirect, of that law of cause and effect.

Direct consequence, because most homosexuals have deliberately chosen this form of expression to learn the lessons inherent to that path of life and bring about the balance of body, mind and spirit. they need in order to transcend tridimensionnal reality and become true sons and daughters of God.Whatever lesson there is to learn, be it that of expressing the feminine side of the total you in a male body or vice-versa, that lesson will be learned in an environment deliberately chosen by the spirit. The more difficult the lesson, the greater the benefits.

Not knowing the reason why they were born in that condition and relegated to the rank of sinners by their church and society, they withdraw into themselves, unaware of those benefits that can be theirs if they live their life according to the universal laws of love and compassion. It is obvious that homosexuals christians who feel they are in a constant state of sin will have a hard time coming to grips with their present condition. This is why, it is important for them, as for any other human being, to understand that as sons and daughters of God, they stand above any doctrine or religion that have, nowadays, so little to do with true spirituality.

Indirect consequence, because it may happen that a spirit feels the need to reincarnate right after the transition without a proper evaluation of its past life and a thorough study of the behavioral modifications that new life will entail. If that spirit chose a body of the same sex he had in the previous incarnation, he may, in spite of his haste, go through life without too many hardships, but if he chose a different sex, the short time spent in the astral transitional worlds may not have been enough to hide in the background the thought forms of the previous life. If those thought forms invade the subconscious of the individual, it will most likely bring to the surface enough memories of that past life to bring about homosexual tendencies that will be very difficult to refrain in the present incarnation. It will be very difficult to adapt to the new body, unless, of course, he accepts and tames this unfamiliar orientation that karmic law sends his way.

Those who are unfamiliar with the concept of reincarnation will jump at such statements, but it is at least, a reasonable alternative to explain a singularity of expression, or a behavior that cannot be otherwise understood and has baffled mankind for eons of time. Man(kind) has chosen to confine his material, and spiritual life as well, within man-made concepts that block the view to a wider spectrum of expression and a broader perspective of life. We have congealed ourselves within these concepts, thus forging our own universe, a universe where God is in our image and our resemblance. This is why the Bible talks about the Chosen people, the white race believes it is superior to other races, and each religion claims to be the sole depository of Faith. Out of these misconceptions were born all the divisions, conflicts and calamities that have plagued mankind since the Fall of man.

Economic survival, nationalism, patriotism, and religious fanatism, all these limitations are smoke screens behind which we hide our fears. Fear of the unknown, fear of dying, fear of hell, fear of God, fear of fear itself. This fear has led the world to segregation of race, isolation from other cultures and a parochialism that should not exist in the human family. The soul has no color. We are all issued from the same Universal Source and we express life from that Source. We are One. Why isolate ourselves when the ultimate goal of all lives is to open oneself to the concept of universality and brotherhood. Why cling to a small piece of land when we know, or should know, that all physical matter is transient.

Refusing to see the world as the big human family it is, we confine ourselves within all these limitations so that our ego will feel comfortable within the framework of such a limited and egotistic expression. Thus, we create our own little kingdom of selfishness, whose entrance is accessible only to those who think and feel like us. In fact, we hypnotize ourselves, and this temporary amnesia veils the true purpose of our mission in the world, a mission of love, compassion and service to others.

Through misunderstanding, biases and lack of true spiritual perceptions, we have immersed ourselves in illusory concepts, comfortable dogmas and false doctrines that, in turn, have aroused the demons of selfishness, hate and greed throughout the world. We have become monsters of intolerance, and this intolerance has spread to all spheres of society and all conditions of life.

However, intolerance is a very powerful boomerang that always comes back to the one who threw it. Those who make fun of homosexuals, who dig about in other people's personal life to discover and disclose hidden secrets and all those who try to belittle others to their own benefit and glory have, indeed, lessons to learn. The karmic wheel will turn for them as it does for all. Transcending the ages, it will badger them wherever they will be, to remind them that, no matter where they are, or when it will be, they will have to learn to do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. (Matt: 7:12)

We judge homosexuals according to our own perceptions of what is normal or abnormal. However, they, too, perceive reality according to their own feelings and ideas of life, and, as far as they are concerned, it is normal to behave in this manner, for they are only following their innate desires. It is only unfortunate that the object of those desires does not correspond to the physical reality as it is generally perceived in our tridimensional world.

The heterosexual expression being ingrained and considered as the modus vivendi in the collective unconscious and in the ways and customs of societies, I would not help homosexuals if I were to say theirs is a normal behavior. I would rather say it is a different way to express love and learn the lessons of life. Being heterosexual, I could easily be tempted to say that the physical structure of men and women suggest a heterosexual approach. If I were a religious person, I would add that any other form of sexuality than the mating between man and woman is contrary to the teachings of the Bible, and if I were a fanatic or zealot christian, I would find in the Acts of the Apostles or the Old Testament, a chapter or a verse that would show the depravity of THOSE people!

Well, I am not sure that God had uniquely the penis in mind when he created man, and not being, in the accepted meaning of the word, a religious person, I am not hindered by orthodoxy and any of those stumbling blocks that veils the view to a wider perspective of who we are and why we are here. This is why I say homosexuality is a different way to express love, and although a means of expression that does not meet the standard of earth’s tridimensional reality, it is definitely a true life expression, fully acceptable in the eyes of the Supreme Energy that resides within all human forms.

In fact, it is all a matter of perception. God never wrote doctrines or dogmas and neither did Jesus. They were made by theologians of past centuries who wrote into laws whatever leaders of churches and heads of state considered a normal social and spiritual behavior. The only law Jesus ever uttered was Love yourself and Love one another, because it is the only way to obey the spiritual laws of Order, Balance, Harmony, Growth, God-Perception, Love and Compassion.

Because homosexuals have always remained a minority, heterosexuality became the only normal behavior. If they had become a majority, they would have gained normal status much faster and homosexuality would not have found its way in church doctrines. And while they so utterly judge and condemn a minority, isn’t it strange that, in spite of the strength they represent in world economy, religions of the world have never truly condemn war. If that was the case, war would have become a capital sin, and priests and pastors would condemn it from the pulpit. The fact that armies have gained the status of protectors of their country does not give them the same status in the eyes of God. Even though St. Augustine tried to legitimize war by invoking extenuating circumstances, no one has the right to kill another individual whatever the circumstance. It is probably because religions of the world have remained passive observers that war cannot be eradicated. The Catholic Church itself has fought a few of those in past centuries and time hasd not erased the crusades and the inhumanity and cruelty of its Inquisition.

It is in the atmosphere of favoritism and intrigues of the first centuries, that church laws have been instituted and transformed into a doctrine in the image of its creators, a doctrine where intolerance and intransigence have replaced the laws of love and compassion. This is why more than half a billion christians are now caught in the iron collar of outdated doctrines that allows them to condemn homosexuality and at the same time remain passive when wars rage all over the planet.

Generations of early 20th century had to suffer the wrath of the Church when it came to contraception or simply abstinence, and the priests of that period made sure that their flock did not depart from the sacrosanct rule of the church: procreation, procreation and again procreation. Nowadays, families have the children they really desire and even though the Church still maintain its position, the battle is already lost. Such will be the case one day for homosexuality, because love and reason will always prevail over stupidity and intolerance.
Again, all life expressions are true, for they are needed in order to experience all creation. They all have their reason d'être, and they are the sole responsibility of those who experience them. In a cosmic perspective, each of us is an island, a universe within the self, and no one has the right to disturb the quietude and serenity of that universe. It is not a question of approving of, or condemning these experiences. It is simply to understand that, being sons and daughters of God, each of us has the divine right to live, his or her life, according to the inner feelings, that little voice within which is the most direct line to the Source. It is only in this manner that one can fulfill his karmic agreements and reestablish the balance of the physical, mental and physical body.

Needless to say that, from a spiritual point of view, the love that exists between two partners of the same sex, is as valid as the love a man and a woman manifest towards one another. Even though it does not correspond to to the ingrained customs of society, it is nevertheless a true life expression. Love has no barriers and no limitations but the ones we place upon it. The sexual expression is only one of the means through which that love can be expressed. We are confusing the means with the purpose, and, in all activities of life, it is the purpose that counts. The physical expression is only the means through which one can reach the goal, not the goal itself.

Being thus attracted to a person of the same sex, homosexuals try to express their love in a tangible manner and through the means that are in accord with their own conception of sexuality and their own feelings and ideas of life. For reasons of their own, and because of karmic considerations humanity does not fully understand, they consciously feel and experience within themselves all the sensations inherent to the other sex, and perceive sexuality from that perspective.

Love is a sane and healthy expression of life. Homosexuality is just a different way to express that love. It is the search for happiness, and in the mind of these individuals, happiness takes the form of a person of the same sex. We live our human life according to preset concepts and the most ingrained one is sexuality. The preset concept regarding sexuality is that sex is the interraction between man and woman and everyone knows that that little penis is there to make babies! That is the common belief that has been part of our ways and customs for eons of time.
And yet, all married, no, most married couples know that that is not the only way to enjoy sex and the interraction between the partners is not limited to penetration alone. Now, putting aside religion, what difference does it make to you as a person, if it is a man and a woman or a man and a man or again a woman and a woman. The goal of physical incarnation is to experience materiality in all its forms. This is a reality we cannot forego if we ever want to reach a higher level of conscience.

We are all in search for love and we all aim at the same goal, being happy with the person we love. It is an imperative that no one can forego. It is a matter of focus: being attentive to the perceptions of the five physical senses, that are all, and not only the eyes, the mirror of the soul, and the means through which one can fulfill the law of cause and effect, the law of Karma. That law works for hetero and homosexuals alike and once humanity fully accepts that fact, minorities such as homosexuels will be accepted for who they are, not for who we would like them to be and there will finally be harmony throughout the world.

The guilt feeling that some of them may experience stems, not from the spiritual essence of the individual, who only responds to urges as we all do, but from the pressures and the conditioning of religions and society in general, and from the judgmental attitudes of those who, considering themselves beyond reproach, are prone to judge others on the basis of their own bias and their own misunderstandings of life. Again, no one has the right to interfere in the karmic process of another individual, and whoever does so, creates for himself, or herself, another path of life, where he will eventually learn through the immutable law of cause and effect, to do unto others what he would like others to do unto him.

Once parents and educators see the real purpose behind what they feel is a sinful behavior , they will begin to understand that homosexuality is a psychic and karmic problem whose ramifications extend far beyond the limited conceptions of society. They will leave aside all the taboos and the biases they have been fed with for centuries and begin helping those of their children that have chosen that way of life. Instead of saying, what did I do wrong? they will say I love you and I understand what goes on within you. That’s all they need. They do not have a problem with themselves. They have a problem with a society that does not understand. There lies the difficulty!

It is true the environmental factor exerts a certain influence on a child's development, but it cannot in anyway lead him, or her, to homosexuality if they are not so inclined. Just think of all the children that were placed in creches or went to schools run by religious communities. Many of them were abused and sometimes raped by one of their own sex, but remain silent by fear of consequences. A canadian film relates such events that occurred in mid 20th century, where brothers of religious communities had abused repetedly the children that were in their care. It would seem that many of those who denounced these abuses were married people who had been violated repeatedly by one of their own sex.They were traumatized, for sure, but did not become homosexuals even though they were led to homosexuality for a long period of time. Of course there have been sequels and some may even be homosexuals today. For the latter, the rape could have been a trigger that awakened dormant memories, but that trigger could have been any other condition of life such as a chance meeting or being close friend with one of the same sex. One does not become homosexual forcibly or voluntarily. It is something that just happens.

Hetero and homosexuality are the most compelling of all life's expressions, and very difficult lessons to learn. Therefore, lots of homosexuals will experience this form of expression throughout their life, and they will form relationships on the basis of what they feel is the right course of action for them. It is a matter of choice. It is not retribution for past mistakes. It is just another chance to learn and to grow in wisdom and understanding.

It is important for us to understand that physical attraction between two individuals is governed by the law of adhesion of energies (the eye to eye contact, or soul memories) that no one can elude. This law works hand in hand with the law of cause and effect, thus giving all individuals the chance to face up to their mutual karmic obligations and agreements.

In spite of the reluctance of religions to rally to the concept of reincarnation, it has become increasingly obvious to a majority of people that the theory of successive lives offers a better alternative than all the false concepts of morality, that only arouse hate and dissension between human beings. Reincarnation allows us to understand the dilemma that confronts homosexuals when faced with a physical phenomenon that troubles them, a situation they must cope with in spite of the difficulties that lie in wait on the way.

The theory of successive lives goes straight to the heart of the problem, and presents homosexuality in a new light. Far from seeing it as a perverse deviation, it places it at the center of a reincarnational drama that goes on, indefinitely and life after life, until all the lessons are learned and accounted for. This reincarnational factor is the key-element to all choices of life, including homosexuality, and it is there that we will find the solution to a problem that has baffled humanity for eons of time.

Karma takes many forms and many disguises, but, whatever the means, we all fall under the Law, and each of us is subject to its rules. Intolerance is the consequence of not understanding this law and, once again, those who nastily make fun of homosexuals or try to deprive them of their rights, create their own karma and will, sooner or later, be accountable for their actions. The laws of creation forbid anyone to interfere in other people's life, for only God (the God within) knows the secret of our heart, and the reasons that urge us to choose a specific experience. The best attitude will always be to live and let live and, of course, to try to understand those who go through these experiences and help them adapt to their environment and the society in which they live. Whatever the cause may be, the homosexual must understand, once again, that the sexual attraction and expression of love between two persons of the same sex is a normal spiritual behavior, because, whatever the means of expression, love is the ultimate goal of all life.

Even though it is not according to natural laws as understood by earth people, homosexuality is definitely not a sin as religions would have us believe. it is nevertheless an emotional disequilibrium between the soul and the body, where a past life experience, tries to impose itself upon the conscious of the individual, thus distorting his, or her, perceptions of physical reality, that is to say, the consensus of society in all that has to do with human behavior, sexual or otherwise.So, even though it is their intrinsic right to live their life as they see fit, homosexuals must nevertheless try to understand the karmic implications of their choice of life and react accordingly in all truthfulness of purpose, for it is their mission of life to evolve in their chosen environment and radiate from their own center the God that resides in each of us.

Opposites attract, and it is not without reason that the androgynous form known as cosmic, or total man, became the masculine and feminine bodies of physical worlds. It was this androgynous form that first broke away from what is known as Paradise and it was, indeed, a very clever plan of the Creative Energy to individualize, in the material worlds, the positive and negative energy of that form to create the men and women of creation.
These new forms were created to complement themselvess more fully, and, through the sexual energy (the orgasmic principle), bring about a better understanding of the feminine and masculine attributes in each of them. This fusion, or melding process whose peak is the orgasm, is the greatest challenge of physical reality , but it was not intended that there should be rules as to how it could be accomplished.

Just imagine your body as a luxury car, with all the newest gadgets, radio AM/FM stereo, compact disk reader, remote door opener, cruise control and what not. None of those features are necessary to the good functioning of your car. It is there for your pleasure and enjoyment and it is up to you to use them or not. Your neighbour will not blame you if you do not use the remote starter or door opener. He minds his own business and doesn’t care about how the neighbour manages his affairs.

The body we put on at birth has all the tools it needs to function in the physical and it is up to us to use any of them according to our needs and in the manner we see fit to progress on the road to perfection, with the only proviso that , as mentioned above, one should do to others what he would have others do unto him. It is nobody else’s business. The choice is ours and we can forego any of the usual experiences of what we consider a normal life, marriage, religion, pregnancy and, of course, mating itself, without departing from God laws.

For instance, this melding process we call orgasm is usually linked to the interraction of man and woman in a love relationship. I must agree it is, for most of humanity, the best way to achieve this melding process, as it does not have the stumbling blocks and taboos associated with other means of sexual expression, but who ever said that orgasm or extasy or whatever name you give it, only happens this way. There are many erogenous zones on the body and most of the stimulation occurs on a higher level than the body itself. A man can have what is called a wet dream where he fantasizes making love and it will be as real as the real thing. Women become excited in the same manner. It’s all in the mind! And if it is, then it doesn’t matter too much where the stimulation comes from.

Heterosexuals will search numerous ways to stimulate the partner but it will finally end with penetration, as their mind is set up this way. Homosexuals will obviously find other means of stimulation but they cannot use penetration, as practiced by heterosexuals. Thus, men will use caresses and fellation, but anal coitus is definitely not a suitable means of sexual expression because, used in that manner, the anus does not fulfill the function for which it was created, and there is always the danger of ruptured blood vessels and infections. It is, obviously, a problem that relates only to the male, and this tends to corroborate what I explained above, that homosexuals transpose, in their present life, memories of a past life experience where they had a sexual orientation different from the one they now have. Thus, the male experiences the sensations inherent to a woman, but he is not endowed, and neither is the partner, with female genitals that would allow penetration, and this is why some of them will try anal coitus, thus endangering their health and that of their partner.

Women will also use caresses and I believe there are more erogenous zones on the feminine body, the most obvious being the breasts and the genitals. Besides, it is know that the clitoris is a very powerful stimulus that can easily bring the partner to a climax that comes close to that of penetration which, obviously, is unavailable to them. Howover, the female homosexual remains intrinsically a woman. Her intuition and imagination are more vivid. For this reason her sexuality will express on a higher level than that of men and she can overcome more easily the limitations of her state.

Thus, it seems there is samething satisfactory for everybody, with the exception of moralists, prudes and bigots who use religion to create doubts and fear in the mind of individuals, thus limiting the freedon of expression which is the birthright of all human beings.

The limitations of religions concerning marriage, divorce, abortion and sexuality, have nothing to do with spiritual laws and divine justice. They are the byproducts of fear, biases, intolerance and erroneous teachings, all of them handed down to us, from generation to generation, by teachers who knew and still know nothing about spiritual laws, teachers who stigmatized human beings with the belief that they were sinners from birth. (the original sin)

It is not surprising then, that among all these misconceptions, those concerning sexuality have found their way in religiosity and have become the hobby-horse of all these moralizers who trample on the individuals' free-will of expression. Some may say homosexuality is certainly not the ideal, or most appropriate, means to express physical love, but it is a matter of choice, as each of us is an expression of the Divinity, and again, we have total free-will concerning our sexual behavior, as long as it does not hinder the free-will expression of other individuals.

To be more specific, what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their home, or a motel room, or any other private place, is their own business, and they have the absolute right to express their sexuality as they see fit. After all, who are we to judge the extenuating circumstances that surround these activities of life? Who gives us the right to mingle in other people's life? Is it a question of morality? And what is morality if not the reflections (sometimes biased) of societies, and the perceptions, valid or not, of all those who participate in their collective growth.

For instance, in our western societies, it is immoral to have more than one wife, when, in other parts of the world, polygamy is accepted as a normal way of life. Blood transfusion is a life-saver, and yet, certain denominations will forbid it with the excuse of religious beliefs. In India, the cow is considered a sacred animal, and yet, in our western civilization, we send them to the slaughterhouse to be sold in the butcher's shop. Each religion serves God in a different manner: Jews have the Kabbalah and the Wailing Wall, Muslims, the Coran and The Mecca, Catholics, the sacraments and the Vatican, and Protestants and Anglicans, the Bible. All these various forms of woship are very important to each of these religions. They are, nevertheless, materialistic expressions and manifestations, for, whether an individual has one wife or ten, or turns his thoughts to The Mecca or the Vatican, is unimportant because we will be judge, not on the basis of rites and social customs, but on the basis of how we treated others and shared with those that are less fortunate. All these human rites and customs are of concern to society, only because we have been raised that way, and also because it is part of the agreement, whereby we decide to incarnate in a specific social and religious environment in order to experience these various facets of life. If we accept all those differences, and some of them are, to say the least, ackward, why not accept that homosexuals are different? The true morality is to live and let live, and humanity has no need of all those moralizers who always see the mote in other people's eyes. Humanity needs teachers who have at heart the spiritual welfare of all individuals and place their well-being and happiness above doctrines and religions.

Love is the supreme law of the universe, and, whatever the individual's behavior, if motivated by unselfish love, it cannot but please God. Again, what's at stake here, is not the experience itself, but rather the benefits we gain from it. On the spiritual scale, one act of love has more value than one hundred million litanies. God is not seduced by these outward demonstrations of piety and worship, and He reproves the false devotions and hypocrisy of all the tartuffes of the world. So, it is not to live in the limitations of life nor its conformity which is of importance, but rather to be true to the inner feelings of the self. Unfortunately and more than often, these feelings are interrupted by the logic and analysis of how we observe life around us (the intellectual approach), our reactions to those that are involved within it and our limited perceptions of the universe that surrounds us. Socrates’ Know thyself is as topical today as it was 2500 years ago, and the inner search is the key that opens the door of knowledge and illumination.

Heterosexuality and homosexuality are but means of expression, equally valid inn the eyes of God, because they are the cause and the effect of a law greater than human laws, the karmic law. That law allows us to learn the lessons inherent to the mission of life we have voluntarily chosen. Once again, our physical deeds offer little interest to the spiritual forces that surround us. It is what we learn and become impregnated with in our spiritual being that allows us to progress always hugher in the circles of life. Homosexuality, heterosexuality, or whatever the physical expression may be, are only the means through which this learning process can be accomplished. The melding process of all experiences of life allows us to eventually restore the balance our physical, mental and spiritual body and progress to the higher spheres, or circles of life.
And again, what we do physically is of no interest to the spiritual forces that work through us. It is what we learn and saturate in the spiritual force we wear within the body, that causes us to advance in the spiritual understanding of life.

Nowadays, homosexuals or, if you prefer, gays, slowly reintegrate the ranks of society. They are seen in public, and they openly express their sexual affiliation, strengthened in the thought that they are not alone anymore, that there are others like them who openly express their homosexuality. However, true love is discreet, and those who make excessive display of their feelings in public, are, for the most part, adults that did not grow up. True love seeks intimacy where gestures and words are but the outward expression of the inner feelings uniting the two partners, whether they are of different sex, or not.

However, if homosexuals take their rightful place in society, it is not to force on others their own conception of sexuality, but rather to be accepted as the brothers and sisters they are in a true spirit of love and compassion. The two viewpoints are irreconcilable, because they emanate from the very essence of the individual. One cannot prevent an homosexual from being what he is, and neither can a true heterosexual change sexual orientation and become homosexual.
There is, of course, the question of bisexuality, those who alternate between homosexuality and heterosexuality but, sooner or later, the true self comes to the surface. I suspect there a bit of curiosity, obviously displaced, as the individual is not totally honest with the partner and does not show him, or her, his true self.

Homosexuals have the same rights as all of us, and they have their place in all spheres of society, whether it is religion, politics or business. They have the right to teach, as long as their teaching and behavior does not constitute a threat to others. I have never heard of homosexual teachers who try to impose on children their own vision of sexuality, and there are many, as we find them in all spheres of society.

However, I have heard of perverts, and there may be those, both hetero and homosexuals who make advances to or seduce youngsters and they should be judged accordingly. There is an enormous difference between perverts who seduce little children and homosexuals who express their own individuality. Perverts are found in all walks of life, married people, celibates, priests and teachers, but, there again, let us not throw the first stone as they, too, are part of society, and, even though it is their own experience and karma, the collective consciousness we represent share the responsibility of what they have become.

Scandals that have erupted in religious communities are only the tip of the iceberg. Yet, this does not mean that all priests and brothers are perverts. Society does not hold it against religious communities that some of their members have been corrupting young children, and we should show the same open-mindedness towards homosexuals. In fact, it is not preposterous to say, even though there may not be official surveys to that effect, that homosexuals have the lowest rate of criminality of all marginal groups of our society. In general, they are peaceful, charitable, and law-abiding citizens. It is only our lack of charity, and our intolerance that place them in a situation of marginality and keep them apart from society.

The world is a vast field, society is the soil, and each individual is the seed. If you plant a seed in a good soil, it cannot but grow and bear fruits, but if you plant it in a bad soil full of weeds or rocky ground, it will wither and die. So it is with many spirits who come into the world to grow and bear fruits, but are finally caught in the weedy soil of a decadent society. We are all one, and whatever affects one, affects all the others. This is why it is important to be our brother's keeper, as it is the best way to reach our ultimate goal in this life.
Churches and society in general must be careful not to point out gay people as a separate group. Keeping them apart will only reinforce their own conviction that they are not wanted and must stick together if they ever want to survive. By accepting them in our midst and integrating them as vital elements of society, we give them the opportunity to see more clearly within themselves as to their relationship with others, whether they are hetero or homosexual. This promiscuity cannot but be profitable to them and help them in their search for the truth and the reason for being in the world.
The last decades have seen the rise of a killer disease that has unfortunately worsened an already tense relationship between homosexuals and society. AIDS is certainly the worst plague since the beginning of the world. It has now become a worldwide epidemic and has aroused indignation and fear towards the homosexual community. As is so often the case in our society, they have become the scapegoats of this dreadful disease, and many believe it originates from them. In fact, we are all guilty, and we are all responsible for a disease that is more the result of wrong thinking than the consequence of a way of life that does not meet the prerequisites of society.

In its perfect state, the human body is made in such a way that it can defend itself against any viral attack, bacteriological or other, coming from the exterior. However, if our immune system is weakened by fears, frustrations, feelings of guilt, negative thoughts and erroneous conceptions of life, we become the prey of all these viruses that infiltrate the body. We are the cause of everything that happens to that body, which is an impregnable fortress until the time we let selfishness and intolerance make a breach in that divine stronghold. In other words, the law of cause and effect returns the boomerang to the sender. Thus, we find ourselves at the mercy of all these viruses that we, in our negative ways, have created. So, it would be much more accurate to say that aids is a problem stemming from the negative thoughts of humanity and its refusal to conform to the laws of Order, Balance, Harmony, Growth, God-Perception, Love and Compassion.

The best way to fight the virus is to recognize that we all share the responsibility and we are as much a part of the problem as
Whenever there is a problem of epidemic proportion, there is always the tendency to find a scapegoat, and that's exactly what happened in the case of aids. If we were to establish the responsibility for all the plagues of humanity, the list would be too long, and very few people would be able to escape it. It is not a specific group, but all of us who are to blame. We are all One, and, as the whole which forms the collective consciousness, we are responsible for the diseases, disabilities, plagues and evils of all kinds that are (literally) eating away our society.

Pollution itself is at the origin of many diseases, and the open-sky garbage dumps, chemical products and dangerous waste materials are, directly, or indirectly, responsible for many of the problems that have plagued humanity since the beginning of industrialization. Aids is certainly the most dreadful disease since the Fall of mankind, because it threatens the most vital sector of human relationships, sexuality, and it undermines the trust that is the real bond of a true love relationship. When we finally realize that we are all to blame; that, we, as a society, have failed to recognize our kinship with God; that we have weakened ourselves, and desecrated nature to the point where it can no longer sustain us, then we may find a relief to that dreadful disease. Instead of blaming others, we must join forces against the plague, and face it in all fraternity of body, mind and spirit. There is no cure at the present time but, in a life reading given to me by Elwood Babbitt, the spiritual Force called Vishnu, while confirming there was no definite cure to the virus, mentioned that "a serum made with the placenta of a newly-born child would stop the progress of the disease and prolong the life of the patient." The use of condoms is very frustrating, indeed, for the true expression and feeling of sexuality is the flesh to flesh contact, and whenever there is an artificial means of prevention, there is always that fear that something can go wrong. This said, this, too, is a learning process for humanity, and there is much to learn and gain when something as vital as sexuality is threatened. It is definitely a sign of the times, and a prelude to what is called the Last Days. It is a test for humanity, a last chance for all of us to understand the true meaning of love and brotherhood, and become a part of the New Renaissance and the New Age that is now dawning upon us.

Love is a wondrous thing
When man and woman share
With tender loving care
And caresses, daring
Explore beyond compare
The beauty that is theirs
In an eternal spring.
