Dear Ones, yes, we have seen the upliftment of your planet as you more and more only embrace and acknowledge... LOVE.
You are greatly admired in the Universe for your steadfastness, courage, and ever-expanding Love.
Our celebrations up here continue... you are SO close!
And, we have begun a new Chapter: Chapter 12.
We are now into Part 2, Chapter 12:
Now let us discuss your approach to sexuality. We have at times encouraged a rather straight-laced approach to sexual behavior because of the especially lascivious attitudes present on the planet. We have tried to balance the extremes when necessary, but as a culture you have matured to a degree. There are still objectifying attitudes, especially in the media and on the internet, but it is time for you to step into a more reasonable, open-minded approach to understanding your sexual drives and your reproductive potential.
We in the higher dimensions have no moral judgments about who has sexual relations with whom, except where children or women in captivity are concerned. You have free will, and will learn your lessons well by making your mistakes and reaping the results in your own lives. Many a good marriage has been destroyed by infidelity, but have you ever noticed how frequently the "wronged" party moves on to another, more satisfying relationship, or how often both partners find lasting love after the breakup?
We see you caught up in your passions, your temptations and your lapses. We sympathize with you, because the sexual drive is very strong in your species, and partnerships are best strengthened and lengthened by a fulfilling sexual relationship. Unfortunately, many religious teachings, in an effort to control people through their sexual feelings, have created the impression that God despises sexuality, especially if it is fun, and not for the purpose of reproduction. This is nonsense. You were given this gift of sexual pleasure to enjoy, and to share in a loving relationship. I do not need to tell you that sex with a stranger is unsatisfying, unfulfilling and downright strange.
Sex has been described by some as the "glue" that holds a relationship together during the hard times. This is true. The strains of everyday life, issues of money and raising children in a culture that is hostile to them - all contribute to feelings of discontent and frustration which can be soothed or worsened by the feeling tone of the partnership. An admiring mate (whether married or not) can be a tremendous help when life strikes a blow, and a comforting sexual encounter can heal almost any difficult challenge. We wish you Love, and in a partnership, that means physical Love.
Much has been made of the idea that homosexuality is considered a forbidden abomination in God's eyes. This is not true. There are now many on the planet who took on the challenge to come to this life in the body of one whose sexual impulses had been modified to create attraction to others of the same sex. It has been a courageous contract, one which guaranteed difficult emotional adjustments, challenges to one's self-esteem, and sometimes physical threats. Those who volunteered for this life challenge knew they would be confronting the common belief systems, especially those of the fundamentalist sects. This was our desire - to create a situation which would eventually result in exposing the hatred behind bigotry, just as was done during the Civil Rights era.
The Western World has moved very quickly, in relative terms, to adopt a tolerant attitude toward alternative lifestyles. We are pleased with this rapid change, and are grateful to our courageous brothers and sisters who put their lives on the line to make it happen. It has forced the hand of those who were rigidly attached to their religious dogma, opening a crack in the armor, you might say.
As more and more people defend their friends who are gay, who live loving and productive lives in partnerships that are every bit as stable and nurturing as their heterosexual counterparts, and as their child-rearing expertise has proven equally supportive to children who might not otherwise have a stable home, the world has had to acknowledge that gay people are not so different after all. You see, in terms of opening doors to tolerance and Love, this was a dramatically successful experiment.
I love you all, my Brothers and Sisters of the stars,
I am your Sananda/Jesus.
Well, good morning everyone!
