The Great Delusion

Life in this modern existence pays homage to a delusion we as human beings once knew in our hearts: We are NOT our bodies. The soul exists in another dimension, its true home, and is only attached to this body for a one-time journey. But the soul can be "attached", i.e., living, in a number of bodies over time. The soul does not change, but the individual identity does. Allen G. Dec will cease to exist when this body stops functioning. But the soul which animates it will return to its true home, and ready itself for another journey in the physical world, should it decide to do so. I say "it", because the soul is neither male or female, or better, is both male and female. The gender distinction happens when the body in which the soul lives is "built" in the womb and is born as male or female (or sometimes both). The advanced soul often has memories of both male and female existences in any one life, and can express itself in a gender-balanced way in either a male or female body. 

Sometimes the male memory or the female memory of a soul is stronger, and when a strong male memory is born into a female body, its urges and desires for intimacy can be for the female gender, because it remembers somewhere deep down that it identified with the male. The same goes for strong female memories in a male body. Human language calls these incarnations "homosexual", tending to be drawn to the same sex for intimacy. Thus, we have an amazingly diverse expression of human experience.

But again, we are not our bodies, and we pay much too much attention to this existent incarnation as if it were all that we are, trying to preserve it at all costs. Through prayer and meditation one can delve deeply into our soul memory to remember who we really are, and thus live a life that is full with understanding and wisdom. We are here to experience a limited life in the material world, but our life in the spirit is free and expansive. Remember who and what you are - focus on your real life as a child of the living God, and grow in wisdom and grace.
