SAME-SEX MARRIAGE?

Hello everyone! I am posting blog again. I have been very busy. I feel that writing is not really my forte you know. Somehow, I just feel some responsibility to impart certain knowledge to you out there. I hope I can improve my writing more. I will be posting few more blogs along this line with spiritual themes then afterwards I will shift to something that is more scientific, perhaps involving quantum physics, weird mathematics, golden ratio, etc.

I did this one in haste to keep up with the current events here in Australia. The Australian citizens are starting to make postal votes for or against same-sex marriage. I decided to discuss this topic as I believe that there are concepts that will probably not find place on the political debate hall as well as in the media.

The concept I am talking about is in relation with the law of karma and reincarnation. I have spoken in my previous topic that according to Ascended Master Activities, they who are born gays or lesbians is a result of their abuses of masculine or feminine polarity in their past lives. To explain it again, a normal male person has around 55% masculine polarity (or male hormones) and 45% feminine polarity (or female hormones); a normal female person has some 55% feminine polarity (female hormones) and 45% male polarity or (male hormones). If a male person abuses his masculine polarity like for example repeatedly battering his wife, or being a stripper as his job; this will result in finding himself turning into gay person (where the female hormones becoming dominant in his body) if not in this present life in his next life. Similarly, this can happen in a female person who for a long time abuses her feminine polarity such as by being a stripper and prostitute which can turn her into being lesbian. In other words, it is karma due to abuse of one of the polarities. I have no known academic or scientific research sources to back this up. But this is observable in our society. You would find people who for many years have been strippers or prostitutes in the pub gradually turning into gays or lesbians. If there would be some psychological or sociological researches on this area of study, I am positive that they will find conclusively that this is correct.  As far as I know, based on my search, there is no conclusive findings yet of the causes of gay and lesbianism.

I reckon it is correct to say that gay and lesbianism can be likened to a disease, which in my opinion can be cured by science someday if it is simply due to hormonal imbalances or polarity reversals.  Meantime, since it is their karma, it is more helpful for them to accept it and endeavor to balance their karma or heal themselves. They should not engage in homosexuality, i.e., having sexual acts with same-sex. Otherwise, they could be born as gays or lesbians again, having unable to balance their karma. We surely can find individuals in our society who healed themselves of homosexual tendency. I recall that there is a member of The Summit Lighthouse who recounted the reversal of his gay tendencies on the I AM Witness section of the Pearls of Wisdom. I realized that if there is someone who can do it, others with the same predicaments can do it too.

In my opinion, the sexual acts between same-sex couple is the one labeled as sin in the Bible, not the same-sex relationships per se. Because practically speaking, there is nothing wrong with same-sex relationships if they don’t engage in sexual acts.  It is simply close relationships or partnerships. (somewhat similar with close friendships between two men or two women except that same-sex couple is engaged). This is likely to happen if the couple are both gays or both lesbians because their sexual urges are probably nil. The problem arises if one of the same-sex couple is a normal male or female because of the greater tendency to satisfy their base sexual urges. Perhaps the latter is something to be avoided. I do not know if it is possible to exclude this kind of relationship if there would be same-sex marriage or whatever the proper term that might be called. If it is not possible, it is better not to have a same-sex marriage at all in my own view.

On the other hand, we know that many heterosexual relationships commit sexual intercourses that are considered inappropriate and similar in nature with same-sex’s. Aren’t these people also committing sin? I remember in my association with The Summit Lighthouse (TSL) group in the Philippines, that there was a time when Mrs. Prophet, the former Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood, said in her lecture that the only purpose of sex is for pro-creation. If this is true (I believe it is), many are committing sins.  Actually, in my opinion any form of inordinate sensuality is a sin. We can find in Colossians 2:23 that St Paul advises the people to “restrain your sensual indulgences”. Accordingly, multitude of activities will fall under this category such as surfeiting one’s self in eating too much foods or addictive substances like drugs, nicotine and alcohol; or even listening and dancing to the tune of dissonant rock music which can excite your brain and make you high. These activities are surely lower vibrations. There is no sacredness in it. It is actually a desecration of the Divine Mother (symbolic of the matter universe including our own physical bodies). It prevents the rising of the Mother Light (Kundalini fire) from the base-of-the-spine chakra (spiritual centre) to the third-eye chakra. It prevents us from entering the Holy Christ Consciousness which is considered as the Kingdom of Heaven in the Bible based on Ascended Master Teachings. So, they who do these things cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven (cannot have the Divine Consciousness)

It is worth mentioning here that if the only purpose of sex is pro-creation, this means that those who try to raise the kundalini fire through sex like the Hindu tantra yoga or Taoist’s sexual kung fu is wrong. The gentle raising of the kundalini fire (Mother Light) can be done through the regular recitation of Hail Mary, Bija (seed syllables) and other mantras.

You would think that if sensuality is a sin, sex therefore is a sin. We should therefore not have any sex which however, will result in the cessation of human evolution. The following explanation will tell us that there is a kind of sex that is transcendental, something that can be called Sacred Energy eXchange. Yes, Sacred Energy Exchange. You would recall in my previous blog “The Story of Adam and Eve” that before the fall of man, the first and third root races have all won their ascensions physically. All lived in harmony on the paradise earth. There were no deaths and no reincarnations yet. Their bodies were transparent which probably cannot be seen by our naked eye today. Even the very atomic structure of the earth was not as it is today. Their manner of sexual intercourses was not as it is today.  It was spiritual kind of sex – sacred energy exchange. I was told ( I remember in the TSL Group in the Philippines) that during those times, simply facing the palms of their hands towards each other already constitutes an ecstatic sex (Sacred Energy eXchange). I am not sure though on this.   But there was even joke in the group where some members were doing a kind of kid’s game where they clap each other’s hands together and they said to other members “We are having sex!” with a good laugh. Whatever it was, it surely was not the kind of sex that we mortal man are doing today. Perhaps it was chakral energy exchanges of sort.

After the fall of man which occurred in the fourth root race, the atomic structures of the earth’s landmasses, including the floras and faunas gradually changed including the physical bodies of mankind which became dense and opaque as it is today. Their transcendental kind of sexual intercourse did not work anymore. Death set in. It became necessary to put into operation (by the Lords of Karma) the law of karma and reincarnation. Thus sex, as it is today, became necessary for pro-creation. Now in this mundane existence, how then do we turn sex as sacred energy exchange? Frankly, I do not know.  There must be love of course, and it is only for pro-creation bearing in mind that you are sponsoring a soul to be re-embodied on earth under your loving care and spiritual guidance.

In Hindu scriptures, particularly the Rasa Lila in Srimad Bhagvatam, there is a story of loving relationship between Lord Krishna and Goddess Sri Radharani. Radharani is considered symbolically as the feminine counterpart and the other half of Krishna. (This could be equivalent to Twin Flame in Ascended Master Teachings). Lord Krishna and Radharani are mutually and strongly attracted to each other. Radharani is also considered as the best devotee and worshipper of Krishna. They eternally enjoy each other’s company. The magnificent place where they always meet is in Vrndana forest. Their romantic relationship, as portrayed in the scripture, somewhat resembles the human relationship but it is transcendental in nature. It is full of symbolical meaning. For example, when Krishna sees the beautiful legs and limbs of Radharani, He sees those like the flowering vines shining with an ocean of wonderful moonlight or molten gold; when He sees her beautiful breast, He actually sees golden lotus flowers or sometimes two wonderful golden mountains. Every part and graceful movement of Radharani’s body- including her broad hips, slender waist, lips – are full of wondrous transcendental meaning. And when they engage in amorous pastimes, they drown themselves in each other’s ocean- nectar of purest Divine Love. Then all the moving and non-moving entities are graced and blessed by their transcendental amorous relationship. It is to be noted here that being transcendental, there is no lust and sensuality whatsoever in Radha-Krishna relationships. In fact, ironically some group meditates on Krishna and Radharani’s amorous pastimes for the purpose of casting out their sensuality. They also recite the mantras to this Divine Personalities for such purpose. Some even uses this meditation and mantra during sexual intercourse although there are other groups that oppose it. I agree with the latter. I believe its meditation and mantras should only be used alone individually.

Any way, it is obvious that this transcendental amorous relationship as depicted in this sacred Hindu Texts is restricted between man and woman.  In fact, we can never find in any divinely inspired Scriptures of the world any shred of sacred same-sex relationships and marriages. I believe it is because marriage by definition, is truly intended to be between two dissimilar polarities – male and female. Another reason is gays and lesbians are not normal sexual orientation as I have explained above.  This is likely the reason why there are only small population of them in comparison with the majority.  This is not to say that we ostracize them of course. We should accept them in our society because they are normal person like us. It is only their sexual orientation that is not normal. I think their social acceptance is already the prevailing sentiments in many countries. In fairness to gays and lesbians, we see lots of them who are talented and excel in many of their vocation and career. And to me, many of them seem to always exude happiness as they can always quip jokes and express themselves more freely. That is probably one of the advantage of being gays and probably lesbians as well. Many of them are devoted in their faiths too.

If the population of gays and lesbians increases, this is an indication that many are not balancing their karma due to abuse of polarity or many are still abusing it. One way to diminish this is to spread this kind of teaching so that steps can be done to curtail prostitution, bullying wives by husbands and other acts that abuse the masculine or feminine polarity including same-sex sexual relationships. Most importantly, application of Ascended Master Teachings such as transmutation of karma by doing violet flame decrees, prayers and meditations. 

Going back now to the question, whether we should allow same-sex marriage or not, I prefer to answer “no” because I reckon that it would be better for them to remain single. They are closer to balancing their karma that way. Although gays and lesbian are by instinct attracted to same sex because the opposite hormone is dominant in their bodies, I believe it can be controlled. There are many single men and women who remain single all their lives and some even loved it. Some may have gone through emotional suffering but they overcame it anyhow.  We will find them having meaningful relationships with parents, siblings, nephews and nieces, other relatives and friends, and even with adopted children that they have already brought up. Most importantly, apart from all this, is having personal relationships with Holy Christ Presence and Ascended Masters like Jesus, Mother Mary, Kuan Yin, Gautama Buddha, Krishna and many others that can ease our suffering. God will be jealous if we exclude Him from our human relationships for in that sense we are making our relationships as our idol. Remember that our God is a jealous God (Exodus 34:14).  If these men and women had done it, gays and lesbians can do it as well. Surely, we can find in our society many gays and lesbians who have gone through this single life and now lead a happy satisfying life. Some have even married the opposite sex. Why do others like them could not do it?

It is understandable that there are those who has a deep longing to have a fulfilling husband-and-wife relationship that they could not find, and thus find themselves having alternative relationship with the same-sex whom they love. We need to understand them because it could be part of their human weakness. We all have our own weaknesses; it is just different from others. Perhaps this part of their psyche needs healing. Although we can say that human has basic social needs, it also has spiritual needs which should override the former. Most of human relationships or so-called love (same-sex or heterosexual) operates only at human level. Love in this case only seeks to satisfy each other’s human needs, desires, emotions, etc. In contrast, Divine Love seeks to nurture each other’s spiritual growth and relationship with the Divine. If you have Divine Love and personal relationship with God, your human relationships will begin to operate at Divine level. Human love is mostly based on sympathy not compassion. There is a striking difference between the two. Let’s take for example that someone had met an accident and in excruciating pain, a person who is too sympathetic would almost feel the same pain and unable to do the proper thing; whereas someone who has love and compassion would immediately do something to help and alleviate the pain. Another example is if there is a friend who experiences certain grief and sadness owing to a loss of a loved one, the person who is sympathetic would almost experience the same thing. He or she commiserates to a friend; someone who is compassionate will realize the negativity of feeling and would do something to make the situation better in a loving way. At a certain degree, human love is similar with those. The partners are sympathetic to each other’s feelings and needs. I think those who are in favor of same-sex marriage are mostly sympathetic to this kind of relationship as well. It is not Divine Love. If they truly love them they will desire to lift them up spiritually and help them balance their karma. As you can see here Divine Love is much different from human love.

Even the number of governments who enacted laws in favor of same-sex marriage were most probably carried by sympathy and perhaps convinced by the thought that gays and lesbians are normal sexual orientation. I believe they made mistakes here and I am hoping that someday the concepts that I have penned herein will be realized to be true by the many. I also believe that someday same-sex marriage will fade because the population of gays and lesbians will diminish as there will be healings and balancing of karma as humanity evolves progressively.         

In Australia, de facto relationships (which include same-sex relationship) is already recognized by law.  Same-sex couple have equal rights and claims with heterosexual married couples as stated in the Family Law Act if one of the four gateway criteria is met. Two of these four gateways criteria can be easily met by same-sex couple. One is: the total periods of the de facto relationship is at least two years; and the other is that the relationship is or was registered under a prescribed law of a State or Territory.  The above clearly shows that there is nothing to debate on about legal rights and claim. Then why do advocates of same-sex couples still want to marry? I reckon they simply like to have the right to marry. Thus, invoking marriage and human rights equality.  In my opinion, it is incorrect to advance equality here because it will change the traditional definition of marriage which is only between man and woman. I agree with the analogy given by one of the Anglican Archbishop aired in a TV interview regarding this issue. He said that in Australian footy, all players are male. If we will introduce more gay players we will be changing or perhaps spoil the said sport. But we are not dealing here with mere sport, the traditional religious belief since time immemorial is at stake here. Although some mainstream religions can have error in their interpretation of their scriptures, I think they are correct on this one – marriage and sexual relationship is ideally intended between man and woman. But it doesn’t mean same sex marriage or relationship will invite fire and brimstone to rain down the country.

It is possible that marriage equality can also engender polygamy because in a heterosexual married couple, a man may have a de facto relationship with another woman (or perhaps a gay) in the same property and will invoke the right to marry the latter too.  In effect, adultery will be repealed. Or perhaps the man has two de facto relationships which I think is also recognized by law in Australia, (Family Legal Sydney)  and would want to marry both, and would thus appeal for marriage equality as well. So, I think it is not viable to invoke marriage equality on this issue.

To me, should there be same-sex marriage, my concern is the freedom of speech and religion could be put in jeopardy. There could be a collision between law and religion like what happened to some cases in Canada. We hope that the marriage law that will be put into effect should the “yes” vote wins here in Australia will respect the freedom of religious sects to decide whether they can officiate same-sex marriage or not in accordance with their beliefs. That means same-sex couple can only have civil marriage if the religious sect refuses its solemnization. I also agree with some suggestions to use other term in place of “marriage” for same-sex couple. Maybe the term “Permanent Union” or “Partner-for-life” or “Lifetime-Partnership” could be used.

Should the “No” votes wins, there is nothing to be disappointed about for gays and lesbians. Remember that the ideal for them is to try to become normal man or woman to balance their karma. Their engagement in same-sex relationships can be considered only as a reprieve due to their inability to become the normal gender, which is understandable. To clamor for marriage in the name of equality would mean going further away to the success of balancing karma. To me, it would be preferable for them not to have a permanent same-sex relationship in my opinion.    

Transsexualism to me is surely a “no”. It means to me that they already surrender the fight to balancing their karma. It could create further karma depending upon the behavior and adaptation to change.  Besides, it means changing the natural sex at birth. Had they already gone through sex change and realized lately that it was wrong, they should not feel guilty that could set them into depression or perhaps commit suicide. They simply can look at it in a positive way. They can just go on with their lives, remaining single and become passionate in their hobbies or vocation. They can advise other gays not to imitate him on undergoing sex change and thereby balancing their karmas that way. If it’s possible they can probably return to their original gender through second sex change.

To me, one of the compelling reason why I do not approve of sex change is because it could be a precursor that scientists can just tamper with our natural bodies in any way they like. Next thing could be they can legally replace our body parts with that of animals. You would recall that I mentioned in previous blog posts of abuses of scientists 100,000 years ago about tampering the genes that can produce half-man half animals, which led to the sinking of Lemurian continent as karmic reckoning. Not all that scientists do are good. Simply because it can be done scientifically means it is morally correct. I reckon it is better to ban sex-change. It is best to have science under Divine aegis.

I voted “No” because I Love them and I Love you!
