Sexual attraction
QUESTION: Masters, since last year I’ve made a big virtual friend. I always fell for women, but this friend, I don’t know what happened. When I realized, I really fell in love with him. But my question is: Can a heterosexual man fall in love for another man? The same thing is: Can a gay man fall in love for a woman and can a lesbian woman fall in love with a man? Is it possible? ~Vinicius, Brazil
ANSWER: A human’s essence – the soul – is composed of formless, unconditionally loving energy. It has no definable sex because that is a feature of a physical form. The male/female dichotomy that you see in your question is part of homo sapiens’ duality. It was designed to allow a soul to be able to work with many chosen life lessons based upon the concepts attributed to one sex or the other.
If a soul connects with its Source energy, it has characteristics of both what is referred to as masculine and feminine traits. Depending on the direction of the life’s learning, the sex may be the pivot point of the exercises. Surrounding sexual urges themselves, you find the first major lesson of ambiguity. This balances societal beliefs against the inner feelings of the soul.
The lesson becomes deciding what is more important: following society’s limiting restrictions or allowing the body the ability to explore its potential for and from different situations. The only thing that is definite in interpersonal relationships is that it is imperative to have one man and one woman in order to procreate. Any combination of two persons can work with and experience the various configurations of love.
Heterosexuality is the societally accepted mating because it allows for increasing the population. Homosexuality permits testing one’s sense and love of self to follow internal feelings rather than the dictates of society. Some souls, in order to have varied experiences, are bisexual.
As we say all the time, nothing is right or wrong. Just as some marriages work for a while and then one or both parties grow apart from the original reasons for joining and get a divorce, sexual energy preferences may change as the need for additional lessons develops.
