These questions are answered by Master Joachim a commander of the Ashtar Command. He is a gentle and humorous Master.
Well I should imagine that many of you have turned to this section first! Humans are always endlessly fascinated by these two momentous subjects! Shall we begin, with some important questions and I will attempt to answer them from my own humble perspective. Remember I have lived amongst you and I do remember vividly, how important these issues were to me.
Q1. DOES BEING SPIRITUAL, MEAN THAT YOU MUST RID YOURSELF OF SEXUAL FEELINGS AND ACTIVITY?
A. Definitely not! Sexual feelings are not wrong. They are normal and instinctive. They were developed in you by the Creator, as not only a means of continuing the species, but, also, as a pleasurable activity to bring you joy. Have you not heard of Tantric sex? The Hindus developed the sexual act into an activity which allowed union to the God force, to be part of it’s purpose. Many people, while experiencing orgasm, find a little bit of heaven in their lives.
We would suggest, however, when you are engaging in sexual activity that you do it with someone you love and respect. This raises the act into one of ‘loving onenesses, not just lust and animal behaviour. Besides, as any mature person will tell you honestly, that to have sex with someone you love and who really loves you - is a wondrous event in your life. While to have sex with someone you don’t love or respect, makes the act tawdry and inconsequential. On the other hand, being celibate is not wrong either. If you prefer to channel your energy into spiritual endeavours, sport or creativity, this is fine also. The choice must be always yours. There is no right or wrong answer and neither sexual activity or celibacy, is higher spiritually, than the other.
Q2. WHAT ABOUT RAPE THEN?
A. Well of course, rape is wrong, as is molestation or any non consenting sexual activity! No one should ever hurt or force their behaviour on to another person. That is not spiritual or loving. If you believe in the theory of karma, you will realise that if you harm anyone physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually through rape, that inevitably you will be placed in a similar incident where you will be the victim, not the perpetrator, so that you can experience the pain of the situation and hopefully never perpetrate the act again. If the karma does not happen in this life, it most certainly will happen in a future life. Karma is the perfect reward and punishment system. You may elude the law in this life, but you can’t evade your karmic responsibilities, forever!
Q3. THEN HOW DO YOU EVER OVERCOME THE KARMIC PATTERN OF VICTIM AND PERPETRATOR?
A. hopefully, there will come a life, when either yourself or your victim will break the pattern. Your higher moral values and deep feelings of empathy towards all fellow beings will make the act of rape seem atrocious and barbaric. When both of you feel this way and no longer wish to harm each other (and in fact can forgive any negative actions in past lives), the pattern is dissolved forever and the situation will not arise in future lives. Once you have learnt important life lessons, thoroughly, there is no further point in repeating them. The same conditions apply for child molestation, sexual assault or harassment. Forgiveness is always the most important step. If you don’t learn to forgive, then you carry hatred and pain around with you, influencing this life, negatively and influencing future lives.
Q4. HOW DOES SPIRIT VIEW HOMOSEXUALITY?
A. Again, we would stress that any act of love or sex which is done with respect and love, is not judged as being wrong, by Spirit. Many humans, who have had countless incarnations as men and women, may choose to experience a life as a homosexual man or woman. This is not a ‘lesser’ condition. It is just one of many variations. Certainly, we are not naive enough to think that it may not cause the individual great emotional pain. Society is still very prejudiced against anyone who is different or who is seen as a threat. But, the individual soul chooses this lifestyle and emotional and mental pattern quite willingly. This can be perceived as either very brave or very stupid. The choice is yours. But, please have tolerance and love for these souls. Who knows, you may decide to choose a similar life next time! How would you like people to treat you? With love and understanding or resentment and anger?
Q5. HOW DOES SPIRIT VIEW ADULTERY?
A. Usually with sadness, rather than condemnation. Not because of the physical act which may or not be unloving, but because trust and faith are broken with their legal partner. if it is discovered, it often causes emotional pain within the relationship and an ending to family life.
This is a time in your society, for many people to end up karma, with many beings who they have previously loved in past lives, as wives, husbands or lovers. That is why many people have many partners in their lives and the divorce rate is so high! This is a perfect example, of spirit using a negative situation for spiritual positivity! We would naturally, prefer you to meet your Twin Flame and live a contented life with your partner, for the rest of your life. But, so few of you marry your Twin Flames that it is inevitable that many people leave their partners and seek for that elusive being. Unfortunately, most of you are looking for the wrong type of person in the wrong place!
To return to your original question - yes, adultery is wrong. If your marriage is so dysfunctional, that you need to find someone else as a sexual partner, you need to look at your motives and your marriage. Are you just being immature and greedy or is it time to lovingly and gently end the marriage, so that your partner also, can find their Twin Flame?
Q6. HOW DOES ANYONE FIND THEIR SOUL MATE?
A. We will use the term Twin Flame, rather than Soul Mate, which has become a much abused term. You will find many soul mates in your life, from your first childhood sweetheart, to your many teenage dates and perhaps multiple sex and marriage partners. They teach you many valuable lessons about yourself and life. Send them love and gratitude! But, your Twin Flame is someone special. This person usually comes into your life, when you are at a higher stage of spiritual development. Their motives are not just to marry you and have a contented family life, but to inspire you to find your true spirituality, your Life and World plans.
Often, they will work with you, in achieving these plans and projects. They are usually the opposite sex to you, but of course, in some circumstances, can be the same. Sometimes best friends are Twin Flames and occasionally twins are Twin Flames. Two people who have come together as soul mates can develop into Twin Flames, if they are similarly inspired, to develop the spiritual side of their natures.
However, usually what happens is this - you begin to discover your true spiritual nature. You continue developing it and discover your Life plan and World plan. You begin to live these plans. You become more wise and unconditionally loving. You begin to treat others with respect and warmth. You then meet your twin flame, who has similar objectives and virtues. Often the attraction is not overwhelming and passionate! Be warned. Karmic relationships (soul mates) often inspire great passion in you immediately. This happens in order to create a relationship for a short time. Sexual attraction will hold you together, just long enough for you to trade karma! Twin Flames on the other hand, have years to get to know you. They don’t usually rush things. Your common interests will bring you together and slowly, you will fall in love. They will support and encourage you to find your spiritual nature and activate your Life Plan, just as you will support and encourage them. Twin Flames are often -different races, different ages, and different social classes. You are drawn together for a similarity of purpose, not because of great physical beauty, money, power or brains. A Twin flame relationship is based on equality, not the traditional female/ male gender roles. But, you will understand and deeply care for each other. There is no need to put on an act with your Twin Flame. Instead of falling in love - you will both rise in love together!
Q7. HOW DO I STOP BEING ANGRY AT A PAST LOVER WHO HAS GONE OUT OF MY LIFE?
A. When we are in love with someone, we create a spiritual or psychic heart chord to their heart. While the relationship is working well and all is rosy, these chords let our emotional love flow to them from our heart chakra in the centre of our chest. However, when the relationship ends, particularly if it ends abruptly, through hate or anger, these chords are often ripped apart and the two ends left dangling, outside our auric field. This can cause negativity to be drawn into the open chord which causes you physical and emotional pain. It is important, that you sit quietly and imagine the chord you have sent out being reconnected to your own being and flooded with golden light and love. Don’t leave it trailing out there! Other people of course, gently sever the connection or allow it to gradually dissolve, causing very little pain or anguish. Others, however both keep the heart chord connection attached and never, quite release each other from their emotions, mind or spiritual connection. These people often meet up at night, on the higher astral planes, while asleep, spend time together and forget all about it when they awaken! An astral romance you have no conscious knowledge of!
If the memories of a past relationship are causing you pain, please disconnect the chord. And please realise, not everyone is meant to be with us as our Twin Flame. You have merely met a soul mate. Be grateful of the lessons, good and bad that they have taught you. Too many people only remember the bad things that happened in a relationship! Now, begin to look for your true Twin Flame who will truly appreciate and love you. Don’t try to hold on to past loves. Forgive and forget. Perhaps in the next incarnation, you will have a more successful romance with them!
Q8. HOW DOES SPIRIT VIEW PROSTITUTION?
A. In ancient times, often in the large temples, there were priestesses who had sex with the young single men of the town. They did this out of compassion and unconditional love. They were doing this from a higher spiritual perspective. If prostitutes today, also worked from this higher intent, Spirit would have no difficulty with this occupation. Unfortunately, this is not so, in the majority of situations. Most prostitution takes places purely for money, lust or is related to abuse and drugs. These are all negative reasons for engaging in sex. They do not elevate the spirit, mind or emotions. There is no love or respect involved. Certainly, lots of life lessons are being learnt for the prostitute and the client, but usually these are not of the highest. So, we look at this trade with sorrow, rather than condemnation.
Q9. WHAT DOES SPIRIT THINK OF POLYGAMY?
A. Rarely, does a person have more than one Twin Flame, as they are meant to be the other half of you. Three halves don’t make a whole, someone is being left out or they are getting only half of their expectations met! No, polygamous situations are usually karmic. They may be enjoyable and loving, but, you are definitely not with your Twin Flame. If you were, they would be enough for you and you wouldn’t need any one else, in the relationship!
Q10. HOW DOES SPIRIT VIEW INCEST?
A. Again we must view every situation separately. Incest between consenting adults, with no psychological, emotional or physical pressure being applied by either party, can be seen as acceptable. The Egyptian kings and queens, often married their brothers and sisters. However, in this present day, such a marriage, would normally, be seen as undesirable. Normally your brother or sister is not your Twin Flame. They are possibly a karmic relationship with echoes of romances in past lives, but, your higher spiritual instincts, should tell you not to pursue a sexual or romantic relationship with them in this lifetime.
It is similar with Father/daughter relationships or Mother/son relationships. I do not personally know, of one Twin Flame relationship which is meant to be between these combinations. Incest is definitely, wrong morally and spiritually, when coercion of any type takes place. Particularly, between a stronger adult with family power and a younger immature brother, sister, daughter and son. This is not loving, compassionate or respectful. This is merely lust and greed in action. Spirit knows that many lessons are learnt through incest, but, the pain and mental anguish that often follows and remains throughout life, are extremely negative and destructive results. Masters would not act in such a way, and wouldn’t you like to be a Master!
We have had to look at both agreeable and disagreeable subjects, in our questions on Love and Sex. I believe, that within our hearts, we all truly know, what is right or wrong, constructive or destructive. As in all things in life, you have choice. If you always stop and ask, ‘Is this for my higher Good?’ and answer this truthfully and with love, you will find the answer within you!
Blessings from your old friend, Joachim.
