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

[Patrick]

Ra was stating the ideal situation. But what I find is that a lot of humans don't want to go through the work to get there. Instead, they simply jump there by repressing their reactions that do not fit the Ra ideal. We are meant to acknowledge our reactions and then work with them.

Exactly! There's a bit of overlap between this and what I tried to convey in the meat thread.

It happens from the inside out, which is why I mentioned people acting righteous and pious. Inauthenticity is a dead end, there is no spiritual evolution in imitating say Jesus or Buddha... that's how we're taught from childhood...

P.S. I'm the Creator playing hide and seek with itself! (stole that from Alan Watts). Jesus by the way was the rebel of rebels! Buddha as well! Those "saintly" and "holier-than-thou" portrayals of them isn't helping anyone.

Would you say that lashing out at another self when angry is ok ?  Yes since all is ok, but for someone polarizing positively, there are more skillful choices.

We can work with our anger without repressing and without lashing out.  Not an easy skill I know.

All I am saying is that while we are acquiring this skill, not lashing out (and not replying angrily to posts), is going to polarize one positively since it would have been at the expanse of another self.

My life is so much better and easier since I have started applying this.  I am not repressing anger, I am choosing to work with it in other ways other than transferring some to others.

P.S.: Loved your post in the meat thread by the way.
