Sexual Rights The First Right is the absolute right of free-will choice, in other words, each and every being/entity/spirit has absolute sovereignty over their own existance... however, when we incarnate into the physical world we join a collective co-created shared reality where we all have impact on each other, either loving or hurtfull/evil. Hurt is always produced in/for an entity (whether or not it currently has a body, or which type of body it has (human, animal, alien, extraterrestrial) or which sex that body is, (if that kind of body HAS a sexual differentiation)), when it violates its' own ethics or choses inappropriately for itself. When in a human body, the heart guides our appropriateness. Whenever we do not follow our hearts' guidance we create self hurt / self karma / pain / suffering. Sometimes we allow others to control us (Government, Religion, Parents, Mate), and they choose for us inappropriate (for us) things which when we comply hurt us. It is our choice to allow them to choose for us. Whenever any entity interferes in the choice process of another, they are causing hurt, they are performing an evil act(ion). This hurt is ALWAYS produced whenever we lie (fabricate or withold truth), manipulate (usually covertly) (all manipulations require lies), or control (usually overtly) another being. Until we learn to respect the sovereignty of other entities we will be hurting them and creating karma for ourselves. Whenever any entity says "I choose..." (for their own life), or "I choose to cocreate by agreement with {an,some}other(s)..." they are merely exercising their God-given sovereignty, in a non-hurtful way. Whenever any entity says "I choose for others..." they are commiting an act of evil / hurt / karmaic-debt-generation. If you will examine Bills of Rights or the 10 Commandments you will see that MOST of them are merely specific instances of this general rule, which itself is known as "THE PRIME DIRECTIVE: Non-Interference". NO ONE has the RIGHT to choose ANYthing about another's sexuality, gender, partnering, mating, or procreation. Many people acting in self-deception may convince themselves that others should choose as they do, and may fabricate any form of rationalization or justification for their infringement on the others' free-will choice. It doesn't matter whether this is done as an individual, as a religion, or as a government, it is still a hurtful evil karma-producing action. Almost ALL of the evils / pain / suffering / war / conflict which has ever gone on on this planet, or now being chosen by those so acting, comes down to individuals or groups of individuals attempting to control other entities. It is wrong / evil / bad. That is why we are all here on this planet, or soul school... to learn to exercise our absolute sovereignty in a way which is not hurtful to ourselves or to others. This all boils down to Aloha... loving others no matter how they differ from us. So, many will continue to learn their lessons about sovereignty by failing to honor others' sovereignty, creating karma, having to experience from the opposite polarity of dichotomy (being judged and discriminated against), until they learn not to judge and discriminate. We are called upon to love EVERYone, no matter what stage of lesson they are in about sovereignty and its manifestation through human form on planet earth. Whatever your religion (which simply means your beliefs), you will manifest your beliefs, so why not choose to believe that we are all free sovereigns, and at least tolerate and accept others' differences from us, or go beyond that to support others making their own choices even when they differ from ours, or go beyond that to love the diversity, for the world would be cold and unhappy if we were all identical clones who looked, thought, acted, chose alike (ref: "Greys", later in this article). Sexuality is a normal survival function of human bodies, and it will not be stopped no matter what laws are passed (governmental or religious). In these times of severe infestation of planet earth by an insanely overpopulating species (humans) who are so stupid as to push the entire planet to the verge of eco-collapse, it is time to support gay lifestyle as an alternative to the destruction of all life on the planet. The only other alternative is the destruction of sexuality (both gay and straight) as a human characteristic, and that will not succeed, for it has already been tried by the Greys (Zeta Reticulii), and they are busy doing everything they can to re-incorporate human emotionality and sexuality back into their lives by creating a hybrid race of Greys and Humans, which is why they've "abducted" humans. Their non-sexual bodies created through cloning, devoid of sex, sexuality, emotion, passion, compassion as a result of their historical choice to remove sexuality and emotion from their lives, resulted in an evolutionary dead-end, and they are desparate to reclaim what we have. Sexual suppression / repression is not the answer. Tolerance for sexual variety is sane, for sexual variety is normal. It is specious to argue that it is OK to be gay because gays are merely victims of genetics or some other incurable disease, for sovereignty includes the right of freely chosen sexual expression, partnering, and lifestyle... no justifications are required to excuse such, for it is a natural part of God's diversity, which is the ultimate survival quality of humans... genetic and lifestyle diversity insures the survival of the species, a little tooo well, as our overpopulation has shown. It is time for a generational "break" in making babies, so that we can reduce the worldwide demand for resources to the point where we don't trigger eco-collapse. And, hey, what's to fear from gays? It's not like gays are gonna take over the world, because they don't propogate... only heterosexual coupling produces offspring, so relax, enjoy diversity, and love everyone regardless who they share pleasure with. It doesn't matter a bit what the "State of Hawaii" constitution says, for it is a fraudulent government with no power over citizens of the Nation of Hawaii, so you can always "Quiet Title" out of American citizenship and control. The Nation of Hawaii constitution supports sexual non-discrimination, which has to include non-discrimination against gays. Now, let's extrapolate back to from where we started... "gayness" is only one of an infinite variety of dichotomies available in our world of duality, and each dichotomy is an expression of God, from one extreme to the other, and all the intermediate possibilities. Only when we rise to the spiritual level of non-duality do we transcend the duality, and from that place of oneness we can observe all the world's dichotomies and be at peace with them, and with the paradox that both the oneness and the duality coexist. There is no enemy, only other pieces of God. This whole issue about gay marriage is a waste of time... if you don't like gay marriage, then don't marry a gay. No Problem... Nothing is made to go away by fighting it. If you wish to succeed in that process, invert the goal and create it... i.e. rather than fighting homophobia, create homophilia. First it is important for the homosexual to set-aside all the past abuse, and move into compassion for the homophobe. Why? While the homosexual has embraced their homosexuality, the homophobe is in denial and judgment about their homosexual attractions. Those most outspoken and violent of homophobes are merely externalizing their internal conflict, where part of their consciousness has bought-into religio-cultural programming and is in judgment of homosexuality, while the more unconscious (denied) part of them is having homosexual attractions. One who is heterosexual because it is their truth, rather than by being repressed about homosexuality, can be totally at peace with either homo- or hetero- people. Those who are not at peace externally are suffering from unresolved internal conflict over the issue. This concept can be applied to any dichotomy, sexuality is only one. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The next relevant principle is: Claiming full responsibility. Every aspect of our existence is created by our own choices, though becoming conscious of all of them may necessitate awakening to remember past life choices which create karma which causes current circumstances. It is always a lie to deny that you have choice about who you are. I have seen many homosexuals attempt to combat the huge external societal judgment and pressure and invalidation of a dysfunctional society by disclaiming responsibility that they choose to be who they are, instead attempting to squelch the arguments of judgmental homophobes by claiming they can't help it, they were just born that way. NO. The truthful response is simply, "I have the right to choose to be this way". The issue is right of self determination, not the specifics of sex. While this is an issue in dealing with the surrounding world, it is also an issue of internal honesty and integrity. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . For the sake both of homosexuals trying to understand themselves, and for heterosexuals currently sitting in judgement of homosexuals, it is quite useful to learn and understand the following: Approximately 85% of human homosexuals on planet earth at this time, are homosexual because it is their first body of that sex in a long time. Most human souls reincarnate in a series of lifetimes in bodies of one sex, and then switch to a series of lifetimes in bodies of the other sex. Upon the first incarnation in the body type of the sex opposite that in which they have become accustomed to incarnating, they are still used to being attracted to bodies of a specific sex which based upon their own change of sex through reincarnation, is now making them homosexual rather than heterosexual. Those slow to adapt may take a few lifetimes to adapt. The other 15% of homosexuals are typically operating from sexual/gender trauma caused by their family or others influential in their development during this incarnation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Most human religio-cultural groupings now extant upon Terra have created "laws" which are intended to change / manipulate / control individual citizens to force them to live a life which would not come naturally, i.e. society attempts to control its individual members, in order to carry out the society's goals. All societies carry an agenda that the society itself should survive, and that requires new humans, and that requires heterosexual coupling which produce children who will become functional in that society, and that takes lots of parenting and education. If humans are not externally coerced by societal pressure either legal or judgmental, then they MAY not do as good a job parenting children which are the food of society; children are the food which society consumes to stay alive. Thus the societal beliefs and laws will tend to encourage long lasting heterosexual coupling, and may even prohibit homosexual coupling, out of self serving priorities. These can, have, do, and may continue to cause societal abuse of its' citizens, both heterosexuals and homosexuals. The institution of marriage serves the purpose of parenting to fulfill society's needs for new citizens. And so it is that Hawai`i has simultaneously voted to prohibit homosexual marriage, and at the same time is willing to give all the equivalent partnering benefits to homosexuals. If Hawai`i really hated homosexuals, then they would be being denied the benefits of partnering. So, enough of the ranting and raving already. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Who we really are is androgynous spirits who incarnate into human bodies of differentiated sex. Our essence underlaying our personality, is androgynous, and our corresponding spiritually based "sexuality" is bisexual. Those whose personalities have been strongly shaped by society, religion, parents, culture may adopt only half of that as a practical mode of living in today's societies, for when demanded to choose, we may do so rather than holding fast to our essence. The physical world is all dichotomous, and predominantly polarized rather than normal. Intolerance of androgyny is just as prevalent, for the predominant paradigm is polar sexuality united in marriage, a paradigm which tends to create co-dependent half-people, rather than interdependent cocreative whole people who share their fullness. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Any issue you think you have with another person, is your own internal issue projected upon them. Take the issue back inside yourself and deal with it. If you are homophobic, then forgive yourself for having homosexual attractions, and stop blaming and judging those who have embraced their homosexuality. If you are homosexual, consider the possibility of becoming bisexual as your first step to becoming heterosexual, for you have chosen your current sex, and to experience coupling with the "opposite" sex as a long term goal, though you may spend several homosexual lifetimes getting there. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . As planetary growth continues to speed-up, we are also witnessing people growing and changing within one lifetime what previously may have taken multiple lifetimes, so it is both a great blessing to grow so fast, and a challenge to cope with the changes within one body. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Having said all this, can we all play nice together? No hitting the other kids, and share your toys. -- All Rights Reserved & Copyright 1998 by Angela Kahealani.
