Handling Our Sexual Feelings
Q: Let's start out this new year with one of our more popular topics, and that is "How can we better handle our sexual feelings?"
P'taah: By understanding that you are sexual beings. You have grown in a society that hides the sexuality as a not quite nice part of who you are. That there is something dark about it. That there is something not very nice about it. And you continue to teach your children, give them very mixed signals, about sex.
So really it is about being very honest in the knowing that all of you are sexual beings from the time of your birth until the time of your death. And even if you are not physically engaged sexually, you certainly do think about your sexuality or think about sex. And it is really to be healthy about your sexuality. It is really to be honest about it and to be open about it in the understanding that it is a valid part of who you are.
You know, you look at your personalities in your quest to know who you are. And especially when you are being "spiritual"-- and this is on a very high plane--your sexuality is a rather nasty part that should not be acknowledged and you pretend that you do not have a body when you are trying to get closer to God.
Q: Yes.
P'taah: You see, and this is such nonsense. You bring yourselves forth in the physicality to take joy in every portion of you. And however you are about yourself, you cut off your sexuality and say, "This is a separate part of me".
It is not. And whatever issues you have come forth in every facet of you, including your sexuality. And sometimes particularly in your sexuality because so often you have such mixed feelings about it. So, we would say the first thing is to create a healthy attitude and to know that however you are within that spectrum of sexuality, you are not alone.
And we also say that you can indeed separate your sexuality from love. However, the more that you are in that loving place with who you are, then indeed that affects every portion of you, including your sexuality. And we say love is love is love. However it is expressed, it is appropriate where it is of love. Where the sexuality is expressed out of fear, very often that leads to aberrations where peoples become hurt, where sexuality is used as a tool of power or a tool to damage other peoples.
And we say again, your issues, your fears and troubles, are expressed in all aspects of your life. If there is a part of you which is very unhappy with the way you express in your life, and that includes your sexuality, then it is to deal with the issues. To deal with the feelings. To deal with the ideas and beliefs. And this is very important because the more you hide it, the more you suppress it, the more you fall further and further off your center point, out of balance.
Q: Yes, and there seems to be quite a large school of thought that in order to be enlightened or transformed or whatever, you need to separate from all feeling and sit on the mountaintop and chant "Om." And what you are saying is that definitely is not so.
P'taah: You know, for some peoples this may be a way, and this may be the only way, that they can come to a feeling of being closer to the greater part of who they are.
You see, you say closer to God, but you have no idea what God is. And in fact of course God is a misnomer. And so what you are really trying to do is to come to that place or that part of you that knows itself as a Perfect Eternal Expression of Creation, that is in harmony in a way with the Unified Field of Consciousness.
And for some peoples they feel that the only way, and indeed some peoples who have grown in this discipline or that discipline find that this is the way to come to that knowing.
We say that you have birthed yourselves into this lifetime, into this physical reality, to have this physical experience. And what is possible is that you may, simply by learning to love absolutely who you are, to be in the love and gratitude for everything that surrounds you, to be in the knowing that whatever you create is a gift to you to come to have a greater understanding and knowing about this perfect and eternal beingness that you are.
And so it is not necessary to try to divorce yourself from your body. It is not necessary to sit on top of the mountain. It is only necessary to live with awareness, to be conscious. And of course you have the desire to be more of who you are, to know more about love.
And we say to you that the enlightenment, en-light-enment, is really the natural result of coming to love who you are absolutely. But you cannot love what you do not know. You cannot love what you do not own. So until you can come to that place of owning every facet, every thought, every feeling. Owning it, acknowledging it, embracing it. Until you do this, how can you love who you are?
P'taah
