RE: Homosexuality and energy blending; The consciousness behind our sexual orientation
The thing that hurts me most about this post is the misconception that sexual preference can be chosen.
I am afraid this is a response coming from a POV of someone who has lived in Israel and has been exposed too often and too much to the fanatic and ignorant religious discussion. Been there myself, of course.
Choosing sexual orientation (you were right about my confusion with GENDER, ty) is our birthright, and this is exactly what I am trying to convey in the post. Sexual orientation is NOT physical (only), and since it's not bound to the physical, and since it's originated in consciousness it can be changed, just like anything physical can be changed. I feel that you took my words to say something they don't ("if we can change our sexual orientation then we can stop being gay/lesbians"), which is exactly the religious ignorant say
especially to your people facing their sexual development and the confusion that comes with it.
We are born with potentials of sexual orientation. At some point in life we choose which would be dominant, masculine, feminine, or both, or none, according to what would serve us best in life. As you said – balance is individual. All are equally valid, all are beautiful. In this light my post should be read and I am thankful for the feedback as it allows me to clear my standing.
A general comment - in my blog and my posts I am lobbying the idea that we, humans, are not victims, have the power to change our reality, have nothing to be ashamed of or feel guilty for, and should claim our sovereignty. I will keep challenging my readers, (and myself), to explore new dimensions and unrevealed territories of the psyche where we live contrary to those pillars.

Not at all! It actually comes from years of reading articles about gay youths and pre-teen transgender people. Also, I've been watching the show "Masters of Sex" on Netflix and they delve into some interesting arguments about sex, sexuality and their impact on our lives. I strongly recommend you watch this show.
In this show, there is a character of a highly respected man, married and prominent in his world. He is battling himself, harming himself and living a miserable life because he prefers men, but the world forbids him. This battle causes suffering to all those around him and (spoiler) brings him to attempt suicide. Many do, especially young and inexperienced individuals who are told "you're gay because you're broken in some way or imbalanced and you have the power to change to be normal". It is horrible and dangerous. It's statements like this that drive transgender teens to suicide. According to statistics, MOST OF THEM attempt it. Why? Because we do not encourage people to accept themselves, but rather pressure them into finding a "balance" and changing internally and externally to cater to the demands of the masses, looking to normalize everyone into heterocis cookie-cutter humans. Gender is fluid, sex is a result of biological function. Sometimes trying to change what and who you are is far more damaging than accepting it.
I do believe we are born with certain pre-defined tastes. I, for example, cannot tolerate the taste of olives. I never did. The very smell makes me want to vomit. About a decade ago, I found out why - I am allergic to them. My body doesn't want them. I believe it is the same with attraction. We desire those who compliment us and "fit" the combination of our minds, spirits and bodies.
Sure, I can try and treat this allergy. Take pills of shots. But why should I? I don't like the smell or taste of olives, same as you are not attracted to men.
I love your comments, not for the sake of the argument, because there's none, (I second your words 100%), but for the benefit of the others who will stumble upon our discussion in the future.
I hope it's clear that there's no judgment from my end or in my post. Straight or gray is equally Normal! And those who try to normalize other people, in every field of life, are ignorant. How did Yeshua put it? "forgive them father for they do not know".
My point to every human being remains the same -
It is OK to be who and whatever you choose! Seek no one's approval, especially about your sexuality.
And lastly, @techslut, comparing men to olives, made me think, because I love olives very much 😉😊
You pervert! :P
