is it because of people that will view this as sin (in there ego jealousy and understanding of thing ) and they will cause harm by the though and way of speaking and acting? can someone be normal and being in god? do we not all come to this world to experiance? do we not all love? do we not all need sex? all son of man come through the unity of the opposite! so why people imposse so much hurdles? |

People in God can share a life with the opposite sex. Religious people sometimes have a hard time with this,but were all " in God" and Gods in all of us. Sex,orgasm,sensuality are all things created within the Godhead. Religion and by that i mean man made religion ( there really is no other) has somehow gotten a little confused about the sexual aspect of life. It confuses me that abstinance from sex is regarded as somehow more spiritual and Godly than non abstinance. Im of the opinion that a bit of rumpy pumpy does nothing to alter ones love of God or their ability to live a usefull and enjoyable life. But perhaps a stronghold has been built up in the religious mindset which condems people who take part in sexual activity. God of course doesnt condemn them,they do this themselves. Of the people whose teachings ive studied recently ie Thomas Troward,Esther Hicks and Neville Goddard ,i notice that they have been or were all married,with offspring. The sexual act didnt and doesnt seem to have dented their appetite for things of the spirit. Monty I'm with you on this. Concerning solitary of priest in the Catholic religion, it's a 'quite new' rule (300 y or so I believe) and has more to do with legacy amongst the children of the priest than any spiritual path to be followed, as far as I remember.

Sometimes we do not need to know the reasons why people make certain personal choices. Most of the time it is none of our business unless they would like to share it with us. What is normal? yes but people judge and they sin not the one sharing with the opposite sex! but people view sin in that!

Youve mentioned the veil of the mind on a few occasions.I would be very interested in hearing your take on this.Its a recurring theme and needs some explanation.Im not saying this to be confrontational,im genuinely interested to know what you think this veil is.

monty the veil of the mind is all the concept and belief all the thing you chose to ignore or can't accept! though and emotion of those remain unsettle in your mind it even affect your window of perception! you could view it as a painting you don't want to see something you put a little ignore paint you don't want to accept something you change it a little etc. so when you try to see to those layer of painting in the mind it is hard to see! when you meditate it is the main job to do settle all those though and emotion by seing the meaning understanding it and putting them to rest in order!

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_abstinence I don't claim to be an expert, but it has always been my impression that the monks and the prophets were solitary, because turning away from physical desires is one path that can lead to higher consciousness. yes solitude and silence as is virtue! but being with other also as some virtue! i see it more as trying to be in peace or positive place!
