There is nothing wrong. So being Gay can't be wrong.
It's really that simple.
P.S.: Watch how I won't reply to naysayers, this is how to handle those you do not agree with. There is no need to react or defend. Let them have their beliefs.
P.P.S.: I am not Gay, for those wondering.
I am going to assume that people who add "I am not gay" are doing so to illustrate that heterosexuals care about equality and have pondered the complexities of sexuality. I do think that Ra did a lot of damage with Session 31. But we must bear in mind that Ra never claimed to be omniscient with holy words to be worshiped and not allowing any refutation with actual human experience.
I am replying to your comment because I very much appreciate what you said about how to deal with naysayers. This is an issue I have been asking myself about since a certain poster here pushed my buttons. Why did I care what this person wrote? Why did I respond? It is obvious that such people never learn anything and are closer to Trolls than sincere but misguided individuals. Imagine a straight person presuming that their opinion of homosexuality is as valid as someone who is 64 and has been gay as far back as memory serves!
But perhaps I acknowledged this person because for a very large percentage of my life, I was not allowed to ever respond to such people. I was not allowed to be myself at work for most of my 30 years if I wanted to maintain employment. I could not respond to snide gay jokes told in the work place. I could not acknowledge my life partner in public with any affection. It has been an under cover life. I hope young gay people do not have to do that anymore. But I suspect many do in large "red" sections of the nation.
So perhaps I have built up a lot of rage and anger in my Shadow (3rd ray?). I would seek help to release it without putting on my Captain Gay uniform and brandishing my shield to ward off comments in a tiny forum about Ra. It takes its toll to keep your "true" self (within 3 D sexuality) a secret much of your life, and I have sought spiritual comfort and metaphysical truth. From knowing Jane Roberts personally and practically memorizing the Seth books, to American mysticism via Joel Goldsmith, to the Course in Miracles, to various other belief systems. With Ra, I felt I had found some truly deep material, a structure upon which to hang my spiritual development in the latter part of my life. Then I came to Session 31, and my entire biography came crashing back down upon me.
I apologize for not being as detached from the issue as most of you seem to be. Being gay has been a GIANT catalyst in this life time. I did not want it, so no choice was involved. I was thrown out of my parents' fundamentalist home at 16 because of it, and never went back (hitchhiked to San Francisco where a social agency set up to help gay kids on the street helped me finish highschool and get through college). I appreciate the heterosexual folks' support, but I have to gently remind you that you haven't walked in a gay person's shoes. To you, it is sort of a blue ray intellectual issue. One person even said there was no reason for this thread. That is not the voice of empathy speaking.
I am not seeking pity. Nonetheless, this path has not been easy for me. I did seem to make sure I would not be on the path alone. I met my life partner 40 years ago and we have been together ever since. Happily, we have different catalysts so we can serve as "reality checks" for each other. However, I never burden him with my on-line life.
It is time for me to stop attacking windmills, to use the L/L Research logo. I do not want to give any judgmental person (who states their judgment in terms of Ra dogma) any power to push my 3rd chakra (or perhaps 2nd?) buttons. This thread has helped me see that. So, Patrick, I will NOT respond to such people in the future. It is always tempting to defend my right to exist as I am, something that this society has never allowed me to do. But one of the major learnings of this catalyst is that each individual must love who he is, and develop a deep empathy for other people. This allowed me to be a Chaplain for 10 years in a Unity New Thought Church. Listening is what I do best. Arguing? Not so much. LOL
Oh, I realize that according to Ra and many other metaphysical teachings, I created my life script before the incarnation. I learned this relatively late in my life. I now see the great value that the friction of this catalyst has given me for escaping from the usual 3 D repeater mainstream society. Once when I was young, in exasperation I said to god "Do I have to forgive the entire planet?!?!" Now I know that the answer is YES.
Carla wrote "There are no homosexuals. There are only homosexual acts."
I am sorry but Carla was wrong. There are homosexuals who never partake of a homosexual act. My parents and I knew I was very different from other boys by the time I was 8 years old, long before I had any sexual feelings whatsoever. My interests were feminine according to our society. I was a gentle person who could not understand the walls that other boys put up amongst their tribe (fighting physically, calling each other by their last name, enjoying violence via sports....). Homosexuality is not simply an act. It is a unique sense of self. I wonder if naive Carla ever noted that right wing religions agree with her. "God does not make people gay. There are no homosexuals. There are just evil men who CHOOSE to have gay sex, a malicious act against god and decency".
One final point on Ra. RA seems to have screwed up every single interaction with human beings through time, e.g., by giving truth and technology to humans that they later used for STS purposes. To say that Ra has ever truly understood the 3rd density experience of humanity is not supported by Ra's actions amongst humans over time. As Scott Mandelker said in one of his YOUTUBE Ra sessions "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?!?!" in reaction to yet another Ra screw up in contacting humans on the planet.
Take care, everyone.
