Homosexuality
Part 2 -
final
|
In the
third
case,
the
Spirits
will not
accept
inconvenient
behavior
and
sexual
abuse,
as may
have
happened
in the
first
two
cases,
since
they are
already
morally
and
spiritually
enlightened
and this
gives
them the
power to
discipline
their
emotions
and
desires.
Their
main
purpose
is to
guarantee
that
they
fulfill
their
mission
as
humans.
This
temporary
inversion
does not
shock,
it does
not
disturb
or even
destroy
their
personality;
on the
contrary,
it will
give
them
greater
security
and
tranquility
to
accomplish
their
work,
for the
benefit
of
Humanity.
They
will
also not
stop
suffering
difficult
moments
and
bitter
experiences,
especially
regarding
their
feelings,
but they
will
endure
the
affection
solitude
with
faith,
courage,
love and
high
idealism.
The
Spirit
Emmanuel
tells
us:
"They
choose
to live
temporarily
hidden
in the
carnal
armor,
with
which
they are
guaranteed
against
irreversible
evil
influence,
in the
emotional
world,
so as to
persevere,
without
greater
difficulties,
in the
goals
they
embrace".
(17.21)
Homosexuality:
deep
struggles
of
feeling
and
identity
In these
three
cases
they
cannot
be
fulfilled
regarding
a normal
marriage,
even
when
they
undergo
surgery
to
change
their
physiological
sex,
because
they
will not
obtain,
by means
of
Science,
the
blessings
of
motherhood,
nor the
ability
to
impregnate
a woman,
and this
is a
great
frustration
for
life.
Understanding
these
inner
deep
struggles
of
feeling
and
identity,
we must
accept
it, and
have
Christian
compassion
towards
them.
Homosexuality
in the
first
two
cases is
atonement
and a
much
more
painful
experience
than in
the
third
case,
because
of the
moral
difficulties
and
vices in
which
they are
usually
found.
Let us
respect
the
emotional
and
sexual
life of
each
partner
in this
transient
experience
of
homosexuality.
If we
find it
difficult
to
accept,
tolerate,
and live
with
these
brothers
in God,
let us
remember
that we
could
now be
incarnated
in a
body
other
than our
minds
determine
in the
matter
of
sexuality.
We could
be going
through
the same
emotional
and
psychological
struggles
of our
homosexual
brothers,
feminine
or
masculine.
Their
spiritual
struggles
could be
ours in
our
future
incarnation.
We
should
love
them as
they
are,
with all
the
characteristics
of their
psychological
personality,
for they
are also
immortal
Spirits,
with
valuable
knowledge
and
respectable
virtues,
acquired
in
centuries
and
centuries
of
learning
through
their
past
lives.
If
homosexuals
need to
improve
regarding
their
behavior,
moral
and
sexual
issues,
so do
the
heterosexual
creatures,
called
"normal"
in their
sexual
activity,
because
they
also
have
moral
and
character
serious
issues
to be
solved
by
disciplining
their
feelings.
If these
cases
are
millions
around
the
world,
it is
because
unbalanced
sex is
one of
the most
common
problems
to be
solved
by most
of the
Spirits
on
Earth.
The
homosexual
experience
demands
from the
Spirit a
hard
discipline,
as Andre
Luiz
puts it:
"(...)
many
Spirits
reincarnate
under
inverse
conditions,
whether
to
atone,
or to
accomplish
specific
tasks,
which
require
a harsh
discipline
on the
part of
those
who
request
or
accept
them.
(...)
men and
women
can be
born
homosexual
or
inter-gender,
in the
same
manner
as they
are
susceptible
of
living
in a
body as
a
mutilated
or with
a
handicap
in
certain
areas,
adding
that the
soul
reincarnates,
in this
or that
circumstance,
to
improve
and to
become
more
perfect
and
never to
become
evil
(...)".
(29.11-2P)
Therefore,
most of
us
cannot
be
regarded
sexually
as
absolutely
normal,
not
regarding
the
body,
but yes
regarding
the
psychological
manifestations,
saying
"I am
totally
a man"
or "I am
a fully
woman"
because
one will
always
possess
a little
or a lot
of the
characteristics
or the
psychological
qualities
of the
other
sex.
Regarding
this
issue of
homosexuality,
the
Spiritist
should
not
manifest
negative
judgements
such as:
surprise,
disappointment,
strangeness,
mockery,
condemnation
or
disdain,
for none
of us
when
living
as
humans
is
totally
balanced,
nor sure
of our
emotional
and
sexual
life.
Throughout
our
several
lives,
we all
acquire
qualities
of
masculinity
and
femininity.
Although
the
psychological
characteristics
of one
of them
appears
in a
greater
degree -
defining
us as a
man or a
woman -
we all
also
carry,
to a
lesser
extent,
in our
mental
structure,
some
traits
of the
opposite
sex,
manifesting
in our
aptitudes
and
tendencies.
We are
always
the sum
of
masculine
and
feminine
qualities
in our
psychological
collection,
although
one of
them is
in
greater
number
of
reflexes
in our
sub-consciousness.
The
Spirit
Andre
Luiz
helps us
to
analyze
in
greater
depth
the
spiritual
reality
of
ourselves:
"(...)
in the
Planetary
Crust
sexual
issues
are
based on
physical
signs,
which
differentiate
man from
woman
and vice
versa.
However,
he
pondered
that
this
does not
totally
define
reality,
because
above
all
this,
there is
an
immortal
Spirit,
sometimes
millenarian,
bringing
with him
a sum of
complex
experiences,
which
compels
earthly
Science
to state
that
there is
no total
masculinity
from a
psychological
point of
view.
Men and
women in
Spirit
show a
certain
percentage
of
masculine
or
feminine
characteristics
in each
individual,
but this
does not
guarantee
possibilities
of a
normal
intimate
behavior
for all,
according
to the
concept
of
normality
that the
majority
of men
established
for the
social
environment".
(29.09-2P)
The
phenomenon
of
bisexuality
If we
can
define
ourselves
as man
or woman
considering
our
physical
body, we
cannot
say the
same
regarding
our
psychic
world,
which in
almost
all
creatures
will
present
the
phenomenon
of
bisexuality,
i.e.,
manifesting
qualities,
aptitudes,
sensibility,
character
and
tendencies
of both
sexes,
although
one of
the
characteristics
is in
greater
percentage,
determining
femininity
or
masculinity.
Let us
see what
the
Spirit
Emmanuel
tells us
about
the
phenomenon
of
bisexuality:
"Through
millennia
and
millennia,
the
Spirit
goes
through
several
reincarnations,
now in a
position
of
femininity,
now in
conditions
of
masculinity,
which
sediments
the
phenomenon
of
bisexuality,
more or
less
pronounced,
in
almost
all
creatures.
Man and
woman
will
thus be
in a
respective
way,
markedly
masculine
or
markedly
feminine,
without
an
absolute
psychological
specification".
(17.21)
Love
with no
prejudice.
Respect
for the
psychological
structure.
As
followers
of the
Spiritist
Doctrine
and the
Gospel
of
Jesus,
we have
enough
knowledge
to know
that we
must
treat
with
dignity
our
brothers,
who
temporarily
pass
through
the hard
experiences
of
homosexuality.
With the
Gospel
of Jesus
in our
hearts,
parents,
educators
and
technicians
of human
physical
and
psychological
health
can do
much to
support
and
assist
homosexuals.
The
confused
interpretations
of
earthly
Science
do not
solve
the
problems
of the
Spirit
of the
homosexual;
our
demands
do not
help
their
tortured
feelings;
our
neglect
does not
help in
the
education
of their
personality.
We do
not want
to
modify
the
psychological
structure,
formed
in the
millennia,
with
some
verbal
clarifications
of a few
months
or
years.
In order
to
assist
the soul
needy,
the
higher
values
of the
deep
spiritual
vision
and the
treasures
of love
in the
heart
are
indispensable,
rather
than
mere
goodness.
The wise
Spirit
Emmanuel
shows us
a
goodness
that is
greater:
"It
takes
kindness
to deal
with
those
who lack
physical
support;
however,
in order
to bring
closer
those
who are
soul
needy,
we have
to offer
goodness
with
matureness".
(10.13)
It takes
a great
deal of
enlightenment
to
understand
by means
of
reasoning
and love
in the
heart,
to see
and feel
the deep
moral
struggle
of these
brothers
undergoing
expiatory
experiences
in
homosexuality,
as if
they
were our
beloved
relatives,
in order
to help
them
lovingly,
without
demands,
without
violence
and
without
the
silly
vanity
of
judging
them and
consider
ourselves
morally
superior
to them.
It is
also the
Spirit
Emmanuel
who
warns
us:
"...the
world
now sees
in all
countries
vast
communities
of
brothers
going
through
this
kind of
experience,
totaling
millions
of men
and
women,
asking
for
attention
and
respect,
wanting
to be
considered
equal
and have
the same
respect
and
attention
to that
given to
heterosexual
creatures”.
(17.21)
Only
with the
love of
Christ
in our
hearts,
will
there be
an
adequate
educational
support,
anywhere,
to the
brethren
who show
misalignments
of
sexuality.
Let us
receive
them in
our
hearts
as if
they
were a
son, a
father
or a
mother,
giving
them
sincere
friendship,
fraternal
dialogue,
Christian
coexistence,
understanding,
tolerance,
sympathy,
kindness,
attention
and
respect,
in order
to love
and
serve,
in the
same
manner
as one
day the
Divine
Master
Jesus
received
in the
Portal
of Light
of his
magnanimous
heart
the soul
of Mary
of
Magdala,
who
suffered
sexual
experiences
without
love,
bringing
her from
the
sexual
instinct's
addiction
to the
perennial
and
ever-increasing
joys of
pure
love to
the
brothers
in
Humanity.
*
After
such
lucid
enlightenment,
let us
look at
the
issue of
the
sexuality
of the
neighbor
with
other
eyes.
