HOMOSEXUALITY
In the Bible, I was reported as condemning homosexuality. In my time and the region I lived, there were men who had physical relationships with men, and women who had close relationships with women. Nothing has changed throughout history. In some parts of the world, this is frowned upon depending on the culture, religious beliefs or personal ideas of moral standards, yet in other areas it is just part of a normal way of life. However, what I would still suggest everyone to think about are THE CONSEQUENCES of certain human activities that degrade or neglect THE TEMPLE OF THE BODY, and bring disquiet to the MIND.
This may be of an excessive and obsessive sexual nature, smoking, alcool, over-eating or drugs, anything that hurts and changes the BEAUTY of the inner spirit and increases the deterioration of the physical body or mind.
Some people find any sort of talk of sexual activity embarrassing or even offensive, depending on their age, background or experience. An intimate relationship SHOULD BE a PRIVATE and special expression of one person’s love and affection for another.
And LOVE is the key here. We, in Spirit, cannot judge what people do in their own PRIVATE lives, whether it is choosing a career, a lifestyle or a partner. We do not judge that some form of behaviour is right and another is wrong. That is up to the conscience and choice of the individual. However, if there is genuine love between a man and a woman, or between people of the same gender, then people should not judge what others do. Love should be respectful and FAITHFUL, caring and trusting — no one can predict where that love will be found.
If a partnership starts to fail, and love and gratification is sought elsewhere, then someone is very likely going to be hurt and left in emotional pain, and so this will be A KARMIC DEBT that has to be cleared whether it is a woman who is unfaithful to her partner or a man to his — whatever the relationship, it is still infidelity and will have REPERCUSSIONS.
Marriage is an earthly , not a spiritual commitment between a man and woman for the procreation of life. The marriage ceremony was only brought into the equation to legalise and make people stay and bond together for sake of their offspring.
Modern trends have changed and the law in the United Kingdom now permits two people of the same gender to have a legally recognised civil partnership. Mankind evolves socially, regiously and politically, but this is of your world, not of Spirit. For us, the commitment to be loving and kind in all relationships with your spiritual brothers and sisters is far more important.
No one can judge how another leads their lives, however, — unless it encroaches on the freedom, safety, health and happiness of another — then all lifestyles should be respected.

JUDGMENT
« You who pass judgment on someone else, for a whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself. »
Another way of saying « Judge ye not, lest ye be judged ». You meet people and make first impression judgements and you may have a feeling that you just do not like or trust someone by their manner or speech. It is something you constantly do by living life, driving around, shopping, hearing the news on radio or television, or reading other people’s judgments of others in the newspapers.
Some of those feelings may be correct and WILL SAVE YOU FROM A LOT OF TROUBLE; but Jesus asked you to love one another.
I tell you to love one another, but sometimes, in certain circumstances, it is difficult to like some people. They may say the same about you.
On the spiritual pathway, you can still love people, you can forgive and TURN AWAY SO THEY DO NOT DRAIN YOUR ENERGY AND BRING YOU TO THE LEVEL THEY WOULD PERHAPS WISH YOU TO BE. You must always try to be ABOVE the mind of man, and in the heart of God.

FORGIVENESS
« Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another.»
« It is often very difficult to forgive someone who has physically or emotionally hurt, offended, criticised, betrayed or slandered you or someone close to you. Someone may have decided to destroy your reputation sought revenge for something you may or may not have said or done, been jealous of your success or relationship, or perhaps you were just in the way or disagreed with how they thought and believed. All manner of the human character can bring about hurt and pain to others on many levels. Small trifles may easily be forgiven and forgotten, but when another’s actions cause someone else’s life to change, or bring about sadness, liberty and loss, how can you forgive? Jesus was asked that question and he said to forgive over and over again and to turn the other cheek. Sometimes, it is you that has to be forgiven for the very same things.
Yet how can you forgive someone who may have hurt or taken the life of someone you love? By honouring that life which you loved so much. The perpetrator of that crime already carried the karma that he or she will have to address, but holding on to hate and revenge also adds karma to your life. So you have to ask yourself whether you wish that person to continue to have emotional control over your life, even after death. To forgive is to let go of all that is biding you to that person who caused you so much pain.
To forgive is to open the prison you are in with he key that only works from the inside.
To forgive yourself is to learn a great lesson in life; to see that which you do not like within yourself and is not worthy of you. You cannot control what others think or do, you can only control what you think and do. To forgive others and yourself by truly feeling great remorse and acknowledging that which may have caused hurt or harm to someone else, sets you free to be wiser and more loving and tolerant; a person living in the true light of Spirit rather than in the darkness of human ego and ignorance. If you know you have wronged some ones and ask them to truly forgive you, and they do not, then that is their choice. If you are truly repentant and know that this is something that you will not do again, then do not continually punish yourself. Some people feel the need to continually scourge themselves mentally and emotionally to relieve their guilt. It is far better to learn from your mistakes and change your thinking or behaviour so that you can help others do the same. That lack of forgiveness has to be worked out by them for their own reasons. The intent is most important. If you do something that you know will upset or offend and say « sorry » without truly feeling it, then that intention is to continue to withhold love and not make amends. Sometimes you do and say things that you did not realise would lead to offence and hurt, but if you learn of this and you can put a situation right, then try to do so.
Forgiveness is a great act of love and must come from the heart and without conditions. It is one of the hardest things a human being has to learn, yet as you move further into the light, it is one of the easiest. »

LETTING GO OF THE PAST
« Everyone in life has a past, time moves rapidly and sometimes events can overtake good judgement and mistakes are made. Sometimes people make life difficult, painful or fearful for you, or a tragedy may occur that keeps a tight hold on your memory. At times when you are low, your mind may recall and replay all that has brought you pain, distress or fear. These pictures can encroach on your present well being and you cannot move forward because the past continually holds you back. The only way to deal with these locked-in and troublesome memories is to confront them and see them for what they are – memories; and they can only keep hurting or upset you if you allow them to occupy your thoughts and control you. If you deny them or bury your head in the sand, hoping they will go away, then you are not dealing with something that may not have so much power over you as you perhaps thinks.
Have courage and confront that which is causing you concern and face it. See it melt away with no further control over you. Forgive if someone needs forgiving; forgive yourself if you need forgiving. Stop punishing yourself and let the past stay in the past.
Look for the positive in all things that happen to you. Perhaps a situation can make you stronger, wiser and kinder. Someone may have done something to you and you have been holding on to so much anger, but maybe it is time to let that anger go. Remember! When you are angry, you lose the power in your life and that something or someone still retains control of your emotions.
In the dark recesses of the mind, monsters lurk; but in the light, no monsters can exist. Always look for the positive and be strengthened, not weakened by the past. Fill yourself with love and light, and let go of all that binds you to unhappiness, guilt or sadness.
The past is the past and cannot be relived unless in your mind; and why should you wish to keep making yourself unhappy? Do not let the past block your future; do not let it rule the good that is to come, when you cut the chains of what has happened years ago. Send out love and light to that which keeps you from living a happy and successful life, otherwise you are letting the past hold you back from reaching your potential and being the best you can.
Live your future despite your past. Look at all those people in your history or present world who have become successful in spite of great adversities. You can too.
Only you control your thoughts – no one else is allowed to enter without your permission, so let those thoughts be positive and loving. Love yourself enough to believe you deserve a good life, because you do. »
