The
spiritual cause of homosexuality
Kim: Jesus, there
has been a lot of attention on homosexuality lately, including the
possibility that some states in the U.S. will recognize gay marriages,
the possibility that the Episcopal church might elect a gay bishop
and the overturning by the Supreme Court of the Texas anti-sodomy
law. Would you mind commenting on this topic?
Jesus: I
welcome the opportunity to comment on a topic that has caused much confusion
and much division amongst people. The division and hostility is unnecessary,
but it can be alleviated only through proper understanding.
Kim: Because this topic is very emotional to many people,
I would like to begin with the basics. Recently, a person asked whether
his soul could have been created by God as a homosexual soul. Some
prominent homosexuals have made the claim that God created them as
homosexuals. What is your comment on that?
Jesus:
There are many questions about spiritual matters that do not have absolute
answers, but this is not one of them. I can tell you with absolute certainty
that God never created a soul as a homosexual soul. Every soul was created
as a male or female soul, yet this requires a deeper understanding.
Consider the following quote:
Genesis 1:27 So God created
man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and
female created he them.
Most people interpret this
quote as referring to the physical bodies. In reality there is more
to it. As I have explained elsewhere,
God has a dual nature. God has a masculine, or active, element and a
feminine, or receiving, element. This might be seen as the Father-God
and the Mother-God, as the yang and yin polarities of Taoism or, as
named in the Bible, as the Alpha and the Omega. The fact that humans
are created in the image and likeness of God means that they too have
a dual nature.
A soul is not created alone but in a pair. These twin souls, or twin
flames, outpicture the masculine and feminine polarities of God. Therefore,
one soul is predominantly male and one soul is predominantly female.
However, each soul has both male and female elements. For example, one
soul is 60 percent male and 40 percent female and thus one might call
it the male soul because it holds the masculine polarity of the pair.
As explained elsewhere,
the true cause of the Fall was that the feminine nature of every soul
fell into a lower state of consciousness. In other words, women did
not cause the Fall; the feminine aspect of every soul caused that soul
to fall. This happened because the feminine element is, by nature, adaptable.
Therefore, some souls began to believe that they should adapt to the
ways of the world instead of remaining true to the masculine aspect
of their nature, namely the spiritual self. This attempt to adapt to
the ways of the world caused these souls to gradually descend into a
lower state of consciousness in which they are trapped by relativity
and duality. Therefore, the soul has lost the direct contact with the
spiritual self and has forgotten its spiritual nature and origin.
Kim: I think this might confuse many people, especially Christians.
If God did not create homosexuals, how does a person become a homosexual?
I mean, many people believe you can be born as a homosexual.
Jesus: The
confusion is caused by the fact that the orthodox Christian church,
1500 years ago, decided to ban as heresy the concept of the preexistence
of souls. Therefore, for over 1500 years, Western culture has been dominated
by a belief system, a paradigm, which does not include reincarnation.
As I explain in several places on this website,
this was an incorrect and political decision that has caused much confusion
in the Western world. The simple fact is that if you do not accept that
the soul has existed long before its current embodiment, there are numerous
questions for which you cannot find meaningful answers. Homosexuality
is only one of these many questions.
As I have attempted to explain throughout this website, God has not
created the current conditions found on planet Earth. Human beings have
created these conditions and they have done so by using, or in many
cases misusing, the gift of free will that they received from God. Therefore,
one can truly say that virtually any condition found on planet Earth
is the result of choices made by human beings. This includes homosexuality.
A soul was not created as a homosexual soul. A soul does not become
a homosexual soul. A soul can begin to think that it is a homosexual
soul, but the process by which the soul envelops itself in this illusion
begins with a choice. And the process can only be upheld and reinforced
by a continuous string of choices made by the soul.
There is a common and widespread misconception about homosexuality,
and indeed about many other human conditions, namely that people are
somehow victims of this. So many people believe that a particular condition
is the result of factors beyond their control. It was something that
was forced upon them from without, and now their only option is to live
with it.
This is a fallacy. This is a lie. This is one of the most dangerous
lies found on planet Earth. The lie is that human beings are victims
of forces beyond their control instead of authors of their own destiny.
One of the main points I am trying to get across on this website is
that human beings have created the current conditions by their own choosing.
Because God respects the Law of Free Will, God will not simply change
the current misery found on planet Earth. This misery can only be removed
when people consciously and willfully begin to make better choices than
they have made in the past.
Obviously, most people are not aware of the choices they made in the
past, and therefore they do not see that they have created their current
situations. I feel great compassion for people, and I understand why
people feel like victims. Nevertheless the purpose of this website -
as any true spiritual teaching - is to help people come up higher in
consciousness. It is a brutal fact that you cannot grow spiritually
as long as you see yourself as a victim.
You can only grow by recognizing that you do have the power to change
your situation. Yet that recognition can only come when you accept that
your situation is the result of your soul’s past choices. Only
by accepting this do you become empowered to change your situation.
You can do so by making better choices. The key to making better choices
is to resolve the false beliefs and psychological wounds that caused
you to make limiting choices in the past.
Kim: So are you saying that if people do not accept reincarnation,
they cannot explain the cause of homosexuality? When did a person
become a homosexual?
Jesus: Homosexuality
is caused by a choice made by the soul. This choice was not made in
the womb or even in this lifetime. The choice was made a very long time
ago, and for most souls the choice was made shortly after the soul realized
that it had fallen into a lower state of consciousness.
The fall into a lower state of consciousness is always a gradual process.
It happens so gradually that most souls are not aware of what is taking
place. In fact, some souls have not yet come to the realization that
they have fallen into a lower state of consciousness. However, many
souls do experience a moment of truth in which they realize that they
have lost something which they formerly had. They have a “hitting
the concrete experience” in which the soul realizes that it has
fallen from grace. The question now becomes how the soul responds to
this experience.
As I said earlier, the cause of the fall is that the feminine aspect
of the soul begins to take on the ways of the world instead of remaining
true to its spiritual self and thereby to the Laws of God. When a soul
realizes that it has fallen, the soul can react in a variety of ways.
Some souls choose to take responsibility for their situation, and they
begin the spiritual path that leads them back to a higher state of consciousness
in which they have conscious contact with the spiritual self. This is
the spiritual path that I am describing throughout this website.
Unfortunately, many souls refuse to take responsibility for their situation.
This leads some souls to react in one of two ways that can both lead
to homosexuality. Some souls blame the feminine aspect of their nature
for the fact that they have fallen. This then develops into a hatred
of the feminine aspect of God, a hatred of the mother. This is often
outpictured as a hatred of women or milder forms of negative feelings
towards women.
This hatred of the feminine aspect of the soul’s nature leads
to a split in the soul. The soul cannot be whole and balanced without
having a proper polarity between the masculine and feminine elements
of its nature.
Some souls develop a disgust for the feminine sex, and they often choose
to embody as homosexual men. Other souls develop a desire to punish
or subdue the feminine sex, and they often embody as heterosexual men
who become sexual predators. In extreme cases this leads men to become
rapists or even serial killers. In less extreme cases it can cause men
to become sexual predators who use women as a form of slaves. This is
not done primarily for the immediate sexual pleasure but as an act of
punishment against women. Throughout the ages, this has caused immense
abuse of women.
Some souls realize that it was the feminine aspect of their nature that
fell, but they blame their masculine nature. They feel that the masculine
aspect should have prevented the feminine aspect from following the
ways of the world. These souls develop a hatred against the father or
masculine aspect of God. These souls are driven by a desire to punish
the male aspect, which often manifests as a desire to punish men or
to make men accept blame.
Some of these souls choose to embody in a female body and become lesbians.
They outpicture their hatred against men by having sexual relations
with women. Yet other souls choose to embody as heterosexual women and
they spend their lives seeking to punish men. In so doing, they often
use their sexuality or psychological means in an attempt to make men
feel inferior or to make men feel that it is all their fault. Throughout
history, this has caused much hostility between the sexes and much abuse,
primarily psychological abuse, of men.
Please take note that many souls have been on planet Earth for a very
long period of time. Therefore, some souls have developed a very complex
psychology in which the original response to the soul’s fall has
been covered over by many layers of beliefs and psychological wounds.
Therefore, there can be other factors contributing to a person seeing
itself as a homosexual.
One of the more common of these factors is confusion concerning the
soul’s sexual identity. For example, a predominantly male soul
does not always embody in a male body. If a soul has embodied in a female
body for several lifetimes and is currently embodied in a male body,
the soul can be confused about it sexual identity because it still has
not fully adapted to being in a male body. That is why some homosexual
men seem very feminine and why some homosexual women appear masculine.
What I am saying here is that the cause of homosexuality is more complex
than what can be described without writing an entire book about it.
My main goal here is to point out that the process whereby a soul begins
to see itself as homosexual began a very long time ago with the soul’s
original reaction to the fall into a lower state of consciousness.
Kim: It sounds to me like homosexuality is not created by
God, and therefore it is not a natural thing. What do you think about
the many orthodox Christians who label it as a sin, as an abomination,
and who attempt to make homosexuals feel guilty about it?
Jesus: One
of the saddest developments that has happened over the past 2,000 years
is that so many orthodox Christian churches have forgotten and departed
from one of the most central themes of my spiritual teaching, namely
that of unconditional love. Did I not tell all Christians to love their
neighbors as themselves? Did I not admonish them to “judge not?”
Then why do so many Christians judge their brothers and sisters for
what they perceive to be a sin that is worse than others sins?
As I have explained throughout this website,
the early Catholic Church departed from my original intent and teachings.
Many things were taken out of my original teachings for political reasons.
Because of this, the Church could no longer explain many of the questions
people have about the spiritual side of life. The orthodox, so-called
infallible, doctrines simply did not have many of the answers that people
were seeking. Therefore, the Church departed from my original vision
of being a church that would provide people with true and valid answers.
Instead, the Church only gave people doctrines and then attempted to
scare people away from asking questions that could not be explained
by official doctrines.
This gradually led to the development of a church culture based on fear
and guilt. Obviously, this has numerous negative effects. In this context
the consequence is that Christian churches have no effective way to
help homosexuals. Instead, they can only label homosexuality as a serious
sin and attempt to make people abandon the outer behavior of homosexuality
through feelings of fear and guilt. Obviously, an attempt to suppress
homosexual tendencies does nothing to help people resolve the inner
conflict that causes homosexuality.
As stated above, the true cause of homosexuality is that the soul no
longer has the correct balance, the correct polarity, between its male
and female aspects. It is true that homosexuality is an abnormal condition
that was not created by God. Therefore, it is in the soul’s best
interest to heal this condition. Yet true healing can only take place
through understanding. It can only take place when the soul begins to
understand the process that led to its current state of consciousness
and then makes a conscious decision to take responsibility for its own
situation and make choices that will improve its situation.
Contrary to my original intent, most Christian churches fail to give
people a higher understanding of the spiritual side of life. Therefore,
these churches cannot help people achieve healing, whether for homosexuality
or one of the many other imbalances that afflict people. Instead, the
Christian churches serve up a mixture of fear and guilt which causes
people to suppress their psychological imbalances or even deny their
existence.
Let me make it clear, as I have done throughout this website, that the
only path to salvation is that the soul must attain a higher state of
consciousness, namely the Christ consciousness. To attain this state
of consciousness, the soul must overcome its psychological wounds and
the false beliefs that caused those wounds in the first place. This
can only be done through a conscious understanding which then leads
the soul to make better choices than it made in the past. This conscious
understanding, this conscious healing process, has no chance of taking
place as long as the soul is ignoring or denying its imbalances.
Millions of Christians have led themselves to believe that they will
automatically earn their salvation by being a member of a particular
outer church, by believing its outer doctrines and by following its
outer practices. This is a fallacy. As I explain in many places on this
website, there
simply is no automatic salvation.
It is a sad fact that millions of Christians have the same imbalances
between the male and female aspects of their souls as many who are openly
homosexual. Many of these Christians have simply suppressed the imbalances
or gone into a state of denial about them. I see so many Christian men
who vehemently condemn homosexuality, yet have not recognized their
own hatred of women that causes them to suppress or even abuse their
own wives. These people feel that because they lead an outwardly Christian
life, they are not sinning. Yet the truth is that they have the same
imbalance as many of the people they condemn.
I see many Christian women who openly condemn homosexuality yet have
the same imbalance, causing them to manipulate their own husbands through
guilt or the withholding of sexual favors. It is truly an example of
how people cannot see the beam in their own eyes.
Kim: What about the other side of the debate, such as the
gay-rights movement and other people who work to get society to recognize
homosexuality as normal or legal?
Jesus: I
have attempted to explain, through a higher understanding and without
using fear or guilt, that homosexuality is not created by God. Therefore,
homosexuality is not natural, and it would be unfortunate for a society
if homosexuality became normal or came to be seen as normal.
The simple fact, a fact that will not be changed by any amount of human
reasoning and logic, is that it is in the soul’s best interest
to heal the imbalance that causes homosexuality (and any other imbalance).
Seeking to get homosexuality recognized as a normal or natural lifestyle
will not help souls heal. It will only cause them to become more entrenched
in a particular lifestyle and thereby move backwards on the spiritual
path. I am a spiritual teacher, and I do not approve of any measure
which hinders people’s spiritual growth.
Kim: What about the claim made by some Christians that homosexuality
is a sin that will be punished by God?
Jesus:
If you look at the Old Testament, you will see that there are several
examples of groups of people who lost the clear understanding and clear
recognition of the Laws of God. In many cases God sent such people a
prophet who would attempt to awaken them to the folly of their ways.
Because of the state of consciousness that people had during Old Testament
times, the prophet often stated that if people did not change their
ways, God would punish them.
As I explained elsewhere,
there is a progression in the spiritual life of this planet. Therefore,
people in today's age should have developed a more rational understanding
of the spiritual and material laws that God used to create the universe.
If people had developed this understanding, they would realize that
God does not punish human beings. People punish themselves by violating
the Laws of God. People violate these laws because they have descended
into a lower state of consciousness in which they have no clear recognition
of the Laws of God. They do not see that it is in their own best interest,
it is enlightened self-interest, to follow these laws.
Because people have descended into the lower state of consciousness,
they tend to think that everything can be defined in relative terms.
People lose contact with the Laws of God and they begin to think that
they can get away with violating those laws. As people sink deeper into
that state of consciousness, they often begin to develop a paradigm
which is in opposition to God’s laws. They often begin to feel
that their paradigm is justified. The extreme outcome of this is that
people will attempt to make society officially recognize a paradigm
that is not in harmony with the Laws of God.
Please take note that this can happen to any group. For example, one
of the Laws of God is the law of love. As explained above, many Christians
have forgotten and departed from that law, and therefore they have developed
a culture based on fear, guilt and judgment of others. On the other
side of the coin, you find people who have an understanding of the law
of love, yet do not have a clear understanding of certain other laws.
These people therefore begin to believe that you need to tolerate almost
any behavior in the name of love.
My point here is that homosexuality is not natural and therefore it
is not in harmony with the Laws of God. Obviously, a society can depart
from the Laws of God to such an extent that it enacts civil laws that
are in direct violation of the Laws of God. This has indeed happened
to many societies in the past, yet I must tell you that all of those
societies have self-destructed. You cannot create a stable and long-lasting
society unless that society is in harmony with the Laws of God. If you
attempt to do so, you will inevitably experience a rude awakening and
your society will begin to self-destruct, either from within or as the
result of an attack by an outer enemy. This is indeed the reason many
societies, such as the Roman Empire, collapsed under their own weight
of the misuse of God’s laws and God’s Energy.
Kim: So it seems to me that you are saying that none of the
two sides have the full truth about the issue?
Jesus: As
I explained in my teaching on the separation
of church and state, almost any debate becomes polarized towards
two extremes. In many cases these extremes are defined by forces that
seek to manipulate society. Yet many truly good people become caught
in the trap of one of these extremes, and it is important to understand
why.
I would like to make it clear that I do not condemn or judge any human
being regardless of their outer behavior or their beliefs. Therefore,
I do not condemn or judge the people involved with this debate, no matter
what side they are on. However, I also clearly see that both sides of
the debate are taking an unbalanced approach to the issue. This has
come about because so many people do not have the correct balance between
the three basic qualities of God, namely power, wisdom and love.
I have talked about the many Christians who have departed from the law
of love. What has happened to many of these people is that they have
developed an understanding of and devotion to the power of God. Therefore,
they have a devotion to the Laws of God, and they want society to conform
to those laws, as they see them through their current Christian doctrine.
Unfortunately, these people do not realize that their current doctrine
is incomplete and in many ways out of harmony with the Laws of God,
most notably with the love of God. These Christians clearly see that
homosexuality is a violation of the Laws of God. This viewpoint is correct,
but because these people lack devotion to the love of God, they turn
this into a judgmental attitude towards those who openly acknowledge
their homosexual tendencies.
On the other side of the issue you find many good people who have developed
a deeper understanding of and devotion for the love of God. These people
truly understand the need to love your neighbor as yourself. Yet because
they do not have sufficient understanding of the power aspect of God,
they have fallen into the trap of thinking that unconditional love means
unconditional acceptance of any behavior. They think that you must tolerate
people even if they are clearly violating the Laws of God.
The only thing that could potentially bring the debate out of the extremes
and back into balance is that more people develop a devotion to the
wisdom aspect of God. It is through this aspect that people can develop
an understanding which allows them to stay out of the two extremes.
That is why the statement “With all thy getting, get understanding”
is so important.
A balanced approach to this issue is to recognize that homosexuality
is unnatural. It is a condition caused by an imbalance in the soul.
No soul can achieve ultimate happiness and spiritual fulfillment by
maintaining this imbalance. Therefore, a soul who is sincerely striving
for spiritual growth should recognize the need to heal the imbalance
between the soul's masculine and feminine aspects. Once you recognize
and accept this, you will also recognize that many souls have this imbalance,
not only those who are openly homosexual. In fact many souls have no
homosexual tendencies but still have an imbalance between the masculine
and feminine aspects.
When you develop this understanding, you realize that it is not correct
to create a society which openly recognizes or legalizes homosexuality.
Yet you also realize that it is not correct to have a society in which
people are judged, condemned or discriminated against because of their
sexual orientation. In other words, the ideal is a society that does
not legalize homosexuality yet does not discriminate against homosexuals.
I am fully aware that it can seem difficult to achieve such a society.
Yet this is difficult only because so many people are still trapped
in the relativity of the lower state of consciousness. Therefore, as
a spiritual teacher, I must point out to you that the only true solution
to the problems currently faced by humankind is to develop a deeper
understanding of the spiritual side of life and of the spiritual nature
of every human being. This higher understanding is the only hope for
creating a better age and for preventing humankind from destroying itself.
Kim: I understand your concern for the many people who are
caught in either extreme. Yet it seems to me that there is more to
the debate than simply a lack of understanding. It seems like some
people on both sides are unwilling to gain a higher understanding.
Jesus: That
is correct. There are indeed people who are unwilling to change their
viewpoints and their ways. Certain religious people are unwilling to
change their desire to judge everyone according to their self-defined
standard. These people are completely convinced that their standard
is God’s standard, and therefore it is completely justified that
they judge people according to that standard. These are the very people
who crucified me 2,000 years ago. These are the lawyers that would not
enter into the middle way of the Christ consciousness and wanted to
prevent everyone else from entering.
I can tell you that there are certain souls who held positions of power
in the Jewish religion 2,000 years ago and used their power to crucify
me. Some of these same souls today hold positions of power in Christian
churches, and they are now using their interpretation of my teachings
as a justification for their judgmental attitude.
On the other side of the issue you find people who are clearly aware
that homosexuality is a violation of God’s law. Yet they have
absolutely no desire to change their ways or to come to a higher understanding.
On the contrary, they practice homosexuality as a conscious act of defiance
against God. They want to keep practicing their homosexuality. They
want to recruit other people to be fodder for their sexual predation.
And they want society to acknowledge that they have a right to openly
practice and demonstrate their sexual perversion.
I am clearly aware that these people exist. I am clearly aware of their
psychology and their modus operandi. I am also aware that there is little
chance of reaching such people through this website. Therefore, my foremost
concern with this website is to reach those souls who are reachable;
those who are willing to look for a higher understanding.
Kim: How does the Law of Free Will relate to this? I mean,
does a soul have a God-given right to choose to practice homosexuality?
Jesus: As
stated throughout this website, the Law of Free Will is the ultimate
law for the material universe. God has given people free will, and therefore
they have a right to do whatever they want, as long as they do not violate
the free will of other people.
You can only have free will if you can make absolutely any choice of
which you can conceive. Yet the Law of Free Will does not stand alone.
The Law of Free Will is created in a polarity with another law, namely
the Law of Cause and Effect. This is the law that the Bible refers to
in the saying that as a man soweth, so shall he reap. This is the law
that Eastern religions call the law of karma.
According to the Law of Free Will, a human being can do anything he
or she wants. According to the Law of Cause and Effect, no human being
can escape the consequences of his or her actions. As I have attempted
to explain throughout this website, everything you do is done with God’s
energy. When you engage in thoughts, feelings or actions, you are qualifying
God’s pure energy; you are changing the vibration of that energy.
In the new book, Save Yourself, I give a deeper teaching about
the true meaning of sin. I encourage people to study that teaching.
Let me here briefly explain that the original meaning of the word sin
is “missing the mark.” This refers to the fact that if you
qualify God’s energy below a certain level of vibration, the energy
misses the mark and cannot ascend back to God. Any energy which falls
below the critical level of vibration is a sin, whether that energy
was created through homosexuality or any other type of human behavior.
So a soul does have a God-given right to practice homosexuality. Yet
that soul will inevitably misqualify God’s energy, and the soul
will reap the consequences, the karma, of its actions. Please take note
that I am not hereby saying that homosexuality is right or acceptable.
It is a violation of God's law, yet because of free will a soul has
a right to violate God's law and experience the consequences of its
choices.
Kim: Should society recognize people's right to practice homosexuality?
Jesus:
This is a complex question. In an ideal society, it would be recognized
that homosexuality is an abnormal condition. Yet such a society would
have a culture in which people could openly acknowledge their homosexual
tendencies without being condemned. Instead, such people would be offered
help to come to an understanding and resolution of these tendencies
so they could move forward on their personal path toward spiritual growth.
They would also receive help to understand the consequences, in terms
of karma and the psychological and spiritual effects, of choosing homosexuality.
If they refuse such help, they would be allowed to practice homosexuality
in the privacy of their homes, as long as they do not violate the free
will of others.
An ideal society would not legally acknowledge a person's right to practice
homosexuality. This would simply be something that was done in the privacy
of people's homes, and society would not step into that privacy (as
long as it took place among consenting adults). As long as the practice
was kept in the privacy of people's homes, society would let people
do this without legally recognizing or condemning the practice.
Obviously, no country on Earth currently has an ideal society. Therefore,
there is no clear-cut answer to how a particular society, at a particular
time, should deal with the issue of homosexuality. This will be determined
by the culture of a particular society, because no society can see beyond
its current culture.
My primary concern is not to define how a society should deal with homosexuality.
My primary concern is to help any society attain a more spiritual culture
which then makes is easier for that society to deal with any problem
in a way that is in harmony with God’s law. What I would like
to see happen is that all societies move towards a deeper understanding
of the spiritual side of life and that they allow this understanding
to influence how they deal with any issue in society.
Kim: Can you explain how homosexuality misqualifies energy?
Jesus: God
has a dual nature, namely the masculine and feminine, the yang and the
yin elements. Everything in the entire universe is created through a
harmonious interaction, a harmonious union, of the masculine and feminine
polarities of God. When the two come together in a harmonious union,
new life is created.
Everything in this universe is an expression of these two aspects of
God. This filters all the way down to the material universe, and that
is why a human soul has a masculine and feminine aspect and why human
bodies are masculine or feminine.
You will notice that when a masculine and feminine body come together
in sexual union, new life can be created. However, if two bodies of
the same sex attempt sexual union, they cannot create new life. What
you see in the material universe is simply an outpicturing of a spiritual
principle.
This ties in with the fact that all of your actions will qualify the
energies of God. When a man and a woman come together in sexual union,
it is possible that this union will qualify the energies of God in a
pure, one might say Holy, manner. Therefore, the energies generated
by the sexual union can ascend back to the spiritual realm. When this
occurs, both sexual partners will have a deep experience of union, not
only with each other but with something beyond their souls. They can
indeed experience a spiritual union with their higher selves.
However, I must caution that there is no guarantee that heterosexual
sex will always produce a sense of union or qualify the energies in
a pure manner. On the contrary, the vast majority of sexual intercourse
falls below the critical mark and misqualifies the energies of God.
This will inevitably occur if people engage in sex purely for the gratification
of the body or the physical senses. If there is not a true and pure
love and a pure desire for spiritual union, sexual intercourse is likely
to misqualify energy.
When you have an interaction between two bodies of the same sex, you
do not have a masculine and feminine polarity. Therefore, there is no
possibility that the interaction can produce a true union between male
and female aspects. I am aware that some homosexual couples feel that
they have attained such union. I am aware that some homosexual partners
have a pure love for each other. Yet I must tell you that homosexual
sex can never produce a true spiritual union. Therefore, homosexual
sex will inevitably misqualify the energies of God.
Obviously, if the partners engage in homosexual sex with a pure love,
the misqualification is not as severe as if it is done for lower reasons.
Nevertheless, heterosexual sex has the potential to correctly qualify
the energies of God. Homosexual sex simply does not have that potential,
just as two bodies of the same sex cannot produce a child. Creation
only occurs through a harmonious union between a masculine and feminine
polarity. This also explains why a soul cannot achieve maximum spiritual
growth until it attains balance between its masculine and feminine elements.
Kim: Some people claim that homosexuals are more spiritual
than other people. Some claim that only by acknowledging their homosexuality
did they make spiritual progress. Some claim that many of the greatest
mystics of all time were homosexuals. Even some spiritual teachers
claim that homosexuality is a higher form of sexuality and a necessary
stage on the soul’s spiritual path. What are your comments?
Jesus: When
you understand and accept the nature of God as male and female and the
nature of the soul as being an outpicturing of the male and female nature
of God, it becomes obvious that homosexuality is not a necessary part
of the soul’s spiritual growth. I am aware that some spiritual
teachings seek to glorify or justify homosexuality. Yet this is simply
an unintentional misunderstanding or a deliberate attempt to deceive
people.
In the new book, Save Yourself, we talk in great detail about
why a soul often chooses to embody in very difficult circumstances.
The main reason is that certain circumstances can force the soul to
deal with some of its psychological hang-ups. Only by resolving these
psychological blocks, can the soul make spiritual progress.
I have explained that the true cause of homosexuality is an imbalance
between the soul’s male and female aspects. Some souls have reached
a point where they can make no further progress until they resolve this
imbalance. Therefore, certain souls can indeed choose to embody as homosexuals
in order to force themselves to deal with the issue of sexuality and
the imbalance between male and female aspects. Yet this is not done
because the soul believes homosexuality is more spiritual or a higher
from of sexuality. It is simply done as a tool to help the soul resolve
its imbalances and therefore move beyond all homosexual tendencies.
I can state very clearly that there are no homosexual beings in heaven—no
matter what certain people seem to believe. You cannot enter heaven
as long as you have an imbalance between the male and female aspects
of your own soul. When you do achieve the correct balance between male
and female aspects, you transcend what most human beings see as sexuality.
This does not mean that the soul loses its male or female nature. It
means that the soul loses the need and desire to express sexuality through
a physical body.
So it is true that certain homosexual people are more spiritual than
the average human being. Yet they are not spiritual because they are
homosexuals. They chose to embody as homosexuals because they have a
great desire to more forward on the spiritual path, and they recognize
that what blocks their personal path is the imbalance between the male
and female aspects of the soul.
This also holds true for the mystics who started out life as homosexuals.
You will see that most of these mystics eventually moved beyond any
sexuality. The need to express physical sexuality simply faded away,
and they started focusing all their attention on the spiritual side
of life.
It is true that if a soul has embodied as a homosexual for the specific
purpose of achieving healing, then a soul will not achieve this healing
by ignoring or denying is homosexual tendencies. Only by consciously
acknowledging a problem do you have any chance of resolving the problem.
Yet I must issue two strong cautions about this matter.
In today's world you find certain areas or cultures in which homosexuality
is seen as a normal or natural thing. You have strong forces that are
attempting to make society recognize homosexuality as normal, and so
far they have achieved great inroads in the media. The problem with
this approach is that a soul who has embodied as a homosexual for the
specific purpose of achieving healing can be caught up in this culture.
The soul might begin to feel that its homosexual tendencies are normal
and therefore should be practiced rather than resolved.
In other words, a culture based on an uncritical acceptance of homosexuality,
without an understanding of the spiritual cause of homosexuality, can
actually abort the soul’s chances of achieving its goal of spiritual
growth. A soul can begin to see itself as a homosexual soul and thereby
refuse to deal with its imbalance. In other words, instead of achieving
spiritual progress, the soul becomes more entrenched in its imbalanced
state. From the perspective of a spiritual teacher, this is most unfortunate.
While it is true that some souls will make spiritual progress only by
consciously acknowledging their homosexual tendencies, it is not true
that this necessarily means that the soul has to practice those tendencies.
You can very well resolve the soul imbalance that causes the homosexual
tendencies without becoming a practicing homosexual.
In fact, if you are truly concerned about making maximum spiritual progress,
it will be extremely wise to avoid entering into a homosexual relationship.
Doing so will cause you to misqualify God’s energy, and this will
create a magnetic pull that will literally draw you away from your spiritual
growth. Engaging in a homosexual relationship also increases the likelihood
that you will feel a need to justify your actions and thereby become
more entrenched in an unbalanced state of consciousness.
My advice is that if a person has homosexual tendencies, that person
should acknowledge these tendencies. However, instead of seeking to
justify them or engaging in a homosexual relationship, the person should
seek to resolve them through spiritual and psychological means.
There are many psychological techniques that can help you resolve imbalances
in the soul. Within the last few decades, many techniques have been
released that are not yet recognized by the orthodox psychological establishment.
Yet any soul with an open mind will find valuable techniques that can
truly help resolve spiritual imbalances. For spiritually inclined souls,
there are many spiritual techniques that can help resolve such imbalances.
In fact, the technique for inner attunement
with your Christ self is an invaluable help in this process.
It is a universal principle that if you want to make maximum spiritual
progress, you must transcend the lower mind’s tendency to justify
imperfection and instead embrace your higher self which lifts you towards
wholeness.
Kim: I am sure some people will ask how you can talk about
unconditional love and at the same time take an uncompromising stand
against homosexuality. They will feel that if you love homosexuals
unconditionally, you should show tolerance towards their sexuality.
Jesus: Of
course they will, and the reason is that they are trapped by the relativity
and the conditionality of the lower state of consciousness. As a result,
they cannot fathom unconditional love.
Unconditional love does not mean uncritical acceptance of any condition.
I love every soul on earth with an unconditional love. Because my love
is unconditional, I want to see every soul come home to God. Yet because
I am not trapped by the relativity of the carnal mind, I clearly see
the myriad conditions that prevent souls from coming home to God and
that, in fact, threaten the death of many souls on Earth.
Would it be unconditional love to watch a soul move towards its own
destruction without attempting to warn that soul? I think not! How could
I warn a soul without making it clear that certain conditions will lead
to the destruction of that soul? So how could I feel unconditional love
towards the soul and at the same time tolerate conditions that destroy
the soul?
Unconditional love is uncompromising in its devotion to the growth and
salvation of the soul. Conditional love goes into one of two extremes.
One extremes defines a set of outer rules and says that a person who
violates the rules is unworthy of love. The other extreme tolerates
conditions that destroy the soul and calls this compromise for true
love. Yet either extreme is conditional love that springs from the relativity
of the lower state of consciousness. Only a love based on the discernment
of the Christ consciousness can be truly unconditional.
Unconditional love means that I love a soul no matter what that soul
has done or what state of consciousness it currently has. Yet, because
of my love, I do not want to see a soul remain stuck in its current
state of consciousness. I want to see that soul move forward towards
the Christ consciousness, which is the only means to the soul’s
salvation.
Because I have an unconditional love for the soul, I have an uncompromising
devotion to the soul’s growth. Therefore, I have an uncompromising
attitude towards any condition that aborts the soul’s growth.
God does not condemn any soul. I do not condemn any soul. We do not
desire to have any soul see itself as a sinner or feel guilty for having
made certain choices in the past. We only desire to see soul’s
move from their current state of consciousness towards a state of balance
and wholeness.
We do not condemn homosexuals. Yet this does not mean that we accept
homosexuality as normal or natural. We see it as one of many imbalances
that prevent souls from coming home. We desire to see all souls resolve
the imbalances that prevent them from coming back to the loving embrace
of their Father/Mother God.
