Session 31 - As a Gay Man, I think Ra's take on Homosexuality is idiotic

[Jade]

It seems that these words carry an emotional charge for you that they do not for me. I mean, "distortion" is as negative of a word as "impairment", and to Ra, everything that isn't unity is a distortion - love is a distortion. Free will is a distortion. Dual genders is a distortion, and arguably an impairment in the face of unity. Not to mention, everything that creates an emotional reaction is also a "blockage". Ra doesn't use these words in judgement, and the ability to be able to understand what these words mean in the context of evaluating the self without feeling negative judgement is important, I think.

I wasn't trying to imply that a gay man wouldn't serve a woman, or wouldn't interact with one - in fact, I believe quite the contrary. It was a shallow analogy, like I said, and again, was from the majority of my own experience - something I experience on a regular basis, in fact. I'm glad that you also feel empathy and love for women/mothers, but do you think that this might be because you have raised children yourself? (Something MOST gay men don't experience). Just a thought. But I was speaking of a specific interaction, and not saying that it is the only dynamic available for a man to open a door for a woman - just the most common one I've experienced, and again, seemingly automatic.

Anyway, I apologize for the misunderstanding. Later in the books, Ra begins to talk about the Logos and the archetypical patterns that it has designed. Maybe when you get to that part of the reading, what I said about the dynamic of dual genders will make more sense.
