Rhonda’s letter discusses a problem which so many of us have. That problem is how to deal with our sexual preferences in a world which hates us. I was contacted by a woman named Rhonda and of course spoke to her on the phone. My impression of her was that she’s truly struggling with her inner feelings because she doesn’t feel normal. Of course, my immediate response is to ask “what’s considered normal these days.”
Those who call themselves our rulers want people without attachments because they’re easy to manipulate. Someone disconnected from family will seek to belong to something else. They will adapt themselves to fit in with another group identity, and the more they invest in that, the more committed they become. Sex was once something shared between loving and committed individuals—a sacred bond that was often rewarded with prized offspring. Today, it is about personal gratification; meanwhile, pregnancy, once celebrated, is all too often seen as a consequence of poorly choosing a sexual partner. This type of thinking is where they start to break down our family attachments, exasperating the situation with financial stress and external interference.
Today’s podcast contribution is a letter from a woman trying to understand her sexual preferences. She’s been wrestling with her thoughts and needs for what appears to be most of her life. She reached out to me in hopes that I could help validate her desires. Sadly, validation can only come from within, and the only things I have to offer are empathy and stories about my own emotional struggles.
When we spoke on the phone, I found a grown woman on the verge of tears. So much of what she confided in me resonated with my own life. Like her, I want to be loved by someone society claims I’m not allowed to love. Yet, there’s no mountain that we wouldn’t climb to make it happen. But unlike her, I’ve come to accept my sexual preferences, and I’ve been blessed with an immediate family member who has them too. In contrast, she seems alone in her struggle.
It’s the loneliness that makes this the most difficult. We have so much love to offer others, but once again, the ruling class has manipulated mainstream society into being an angry, judgmental mob. There are only two people who should have the right to pass judgment upon us. The first is ourselves because until we can see that we’re human beings who also deserve love and attention, nothing will get better for us in our lives. Now, for those who believe in a Divine Being, the second person who can judge you is that Supreme Consciousness. Under no circumstances should we accept control and judgment from other people when we’re not causing any harm.
Listen to this podcast with Rhonda’s letter and ask yourselves, “Why are things so difficult in this world?” Life should be a simple formula of being ourselves and being courteous to everyone around us. Gentle and simple politeness is all anyone needs to survive in society, even when you don’t like the person you’re being polite to.
