At the basis of [LGBTQ issues] is this desire of freedom to be,
even in the faces of a society that wants to say otherwise.
- AH
-
We talked with a young man recently (...) [who is] gay. Now, it is his freedom seekingness that has brought this forth within him, but he was speaking to us about the way his family treats him as a result of this.
They are absolutely opposed to this and do not acknowledge him as a decent human being anymore. They consider him very strange and very odd, and he is very resentful of them, especially of his mother, because she cannot let him be as he wants to be.
And we said, "But you must look at yourself also, and realize that you are also not wanting to let her be as she wants to be.
In other words, she is wanting to see you as doing something inappropriate, but you're not willing to allow her to see you as inappropriate.
And so, you are accusing her of the very thing that you believe that she is doing to you."
- Abraham

What is up with Homosexuality?
(Most gay people come as teachers of unconditional Love!)
HS:
I only have 84,000 questions...
Abe:
Well we only have one answer, so give us your best. (laughter)
HS:
Okay great. Um, I've heard you speak often about sexuality, and one of my... one of several questions is: Where do gay relationships, gay love, gay sex fit into broader perspective with the whole scheme of things?
Abe:
Well, that subject fits in just like every other subject- that you are the creator of your reality.
In other words, we're going to come fully around all of this, but we we want to say -as a basis of this-, that humans, through time, in their not-conscious alignment with who they are, are often looking for someone to establish a set of rules that they can follow, in their desire to be righteous or good.
And that set of rules does not exist from a non-physical perspective!
In other words, there is not a set of rules.
You have not been sent here into this physical environment, to identify the rules and to keep them. And it's good for you that that isn't the case, because you have a real scrambled set of rules going on on your planet right now! In fact, you're killing each other in record numbers today, over your arguing about who's got the right set of rules!
-When what you came forth understanding is, that you are pure positive energy.
-And you came forth into this physical environment, wanting the variety to cause you to give birth to desires!
-And you knew that your joy was only dependent upon your coming into alignment.
You knew, that your fulfilling of your reason for being was only dependent upon you, coming into alignment with who you really are! So, you may have noticed that there are many beings coming forth- in the last generation or two, and even more in these powerful days- of energies, coming forth from Source, who are in a stronger way determined to be unconformable. Because, so much of the world says: "I see that condition and it makes me feel pretty good. So I would vote for a lot more of that! And I see that condition, and I don't like the way I feel- so I would not vote for that. So we need to change all of these conditions, to be what make me feel good, so that I can feel better." -A very conditional love, that is impossible!
Unconditional love says:
"I see conditions that I prefer. And conditions that I don't prefer.
And my feeling of love, my feeling of alignment, my alignment itself, is dependent only upon the direction of my thoughts.
I do not need to control conditions, in order to come into alignment!"
But of course everyone wants to feel better, don't they? So, there are huge numbers of people on the planet today, who even though many of them are speaking unconditional love, they don't understand it at all. Because they're still trying to change this condition and this condition- so that they can have a better feeling response to it you know?
You've really reached the place of being an allower, when you're able to allow those who aren't allowing you.
So there are people coming forth, energies coming forth into human form, in record numbers, who come with this determination to be unconformable. Meaning, that -no matter how much you need this condition to change so that you can feel better- this is not a condition that's going to change, so that you can feel better!
"So, if you're going to feel better, you're going to have to change the way you are looking at things.
Because I'm not going to be the reason that you feel better!"
So, children are coming forth... gay children are coming forth, autistic children are coming forth, with all kinds of what humans want to call maladies, that we call determination to be secure in their teaching of unconditional love.
A man said to us one day, years ago: "Abraham, why why would I come forth intending to be gay? Why would I bring all of this grief to myself? My mother hates me. My father hates me. I have a hard time!" -and we said: "How do you feel about your mother?" and he said: "I hate her, too. I hate her, because she hates me." And we said: "So, neither one of you are coming into alignment with who you are! And you're using each other as your excuse, why not to come into alignment.
When what you've come forth to teach is: Alignment, anyway.
What you've come forth to teach is: "I can align with the source within me, regardless of what those outside of me are reflecting back to me. And this is the most significant thing about this! Almost everyone, even those who've been listening to us for a while, cannot separate how they feel about things from how other people feel about things.
So, most people... in other words, almost the first thing you do with your children is: You teach them patterns of behavior, that make your life better or that you think will make them have an easier time in the society in which they will live. And as you convince your children, that they should do what you want them to do: "you should do what makes them feel better", rather than what closes their gap for them!
In early ages you teach them to listen outside of themselves.
That's why we have a room full of people in every city that we visit, who are accustomed to listening more to what's coming from another person... in other words, approval is so meaningful to you, when it comes from other people. And disapproval is so meaningful to you, when it comes from other people.
And we want that disapproval or approval, that comes from other people- even if it's your mother!- to not matter to you as much as the way you feel!
And that's what we said to this man, "that's what you've come forth to teach!"
You've come forth to teach. Because when you say to your child: "You need to do such and such, so that I will feel better"- then you set them up to listen to another and another and another. Until before long, most everybody is more interested in what everybody else thinks! And then they've lost track of their ability to quantify their journey.
We're visiting with a woman one day who had pain in her body and she said: "Abraham, how can I think positive thoughts when my body hurts so much? And we said: "we know what you're living is what it is. But there's a difference between having pain in your body, and feeling fear- and having pain in your body and feeling hope.
And the difference between fear and hope is the vibrational difference between recovery or not.
In other words, we were trying to teach her how to quantify the journey between sickness and wellness. How to feel her way, you see, where most people aren't encouraging anybody to feel their way into vibrational alignment, in order to have a better life! They're trying to teach them, they're trying to motivate them to respond to this rule, and to respond to this law, and respond to this disapproval or this approval.
So it is rampant in this civilization today- it is rampant almost nobody is listening to their own guidance!
Almost nobody is deliberately closing their gap.
Almost everybody cares what somebody else says or thinks, about what they're doing!
And so many people are coming forth, saying "well, try this one on, because this is an orientation that was set forth, before I came forth into this physical experience! And I can't change it, even if you want me to", you see. And so, there are all kinds of ornery little buggers being born- and we don't mean that from our point of view. We mean:
Pioneers of deliberate, powerful creation.
Teachers to the core of their being!
But they're being greeted by those who are immediately slapping labels on them. Like, oh there are so many. Like nonconformist with lots of different labels... "uncontrollable". Uh, "you have this disorder and this disorder and this disorder and this disorder!" -and we say:
Yay for the disorders! All of these disorders coming forth! The non-conformist coming forth, to teach unconditional love!
You see... and so, it is so delightful when you are able to assist someone. It's a great gift you give to someone, when you say:
"Well this is what is. And I'm not going to change it, so that you can feel better! This is what is."
And it's a hard thing to do, because you want them to be happy. So, when Kate wants to come to see Esther, and Esther really wants Kate to come- but Esther's got a big long list of things that she needs to do. So, Esther says "be better if we don't do it today!" and Esther hears the disappointment in Kate's voice. It's hard for Esther not to change something, to make Kate feel better. Because Esther would run over herself with the bus, if she thought it would make Kate feel better. But we want Esther to let Kate work it out on her own! And, she would, every time. She'd be upset for a minute, but it's her nature to feel good. So she wouldn't be upset for very long!
But this is a bigger issue: You can't change gayness to please another, right? And so, what a gift of unconditional love you bring with that. You say:
"Here I am. Take it or leave it, it's up to you. Be unhappy with me as I be, or be happy with me as I be. But I be as I be! This is my gift to you, you see!"

I think, this might fit here, as well!
Is there really Gender- Inequality?
(Jerry steps in!)
HS:
(I want) the chance to really see a world, in which men and women have equal opportunity, equal power. Equal access...
Abe:
Well, just ask your Inner Being! If you have an opinion already- which you do, where men and women do not have equal power -so, "this is the stance from which I look." So, what could you possibly see, other than inequality, from that vibrational stance? -And you say, "no I'm looking at reality!" We say: You're looking at old news!
And then you say: "Well, I want to create a new!" and we say: then don't look at the old news. So, what do you think the old news has put into your vortex? Something different! Are you looking there? Not right now!
So, when you realize, that law of attraction doesn't say (disgusted voice): "Ah, it's a girl. Let that go." Or all the intervenes of all the women: (Disgusted voice again) "Ahh. Not so much."
And that's where all of your power is! So, if you want to say to us -and we'll go along with you- that there are some women, who- in their belief that there is inequality, block some of the power, that is flowing to them. We will go along with you in that! And if you say "oh, and there's some men that kind of like it that way." -we might even go along with you about that, too!
But we will NEVER acknowledge, that there is inequality of your face under the Sun. Or your beingness in this environment. Or your relationship with non-physical energy!
So, if there is any diminishment of anyone, it is ALWAYS self-inflicted.
And once you understand that, then you have your power, you see!
You see... this is so clear. Here's a clear way of explaining it to you, that would be like you, saying: "I've been noticing that the law of gravity is discriminating against women. It holds them closer to the ground! Men float more free than women." And we say: Perception is everything! What you think and continue to think, becomes a belief, that is sort of hard to let go of.
But your beliefs are the only limitations you have!
There's only a separation between your desire and what you believe.
...A contradiction in that energy, which is always evidenced to you by negative emotion- which is your indicator: you're doing it now! You're doing it now, you're doing it now. You're doing it now! You're doing it now! (HS seems speechless. Audience is laughing)
-We know. When we say: What you believe- based upon what you've witnessed, what you've lived, doesn't have to be that way. You want to say... in fact, here is Jerry! (HS adored Jerry, Esthers croaked husband). He said: "I'd like to get on your side for a minute, here. He said to us... (Audience laughs and Abe are playful about Jerry stepping in in this way) ...There's a whole lot, like this. This is one of his favorite haunts, yeah!
He (Jerry)... he said often: "But, Abraham!!! I didn't feel that way about that, until that happened. So that reality influenced the way I feel! So isn't the way I feel therefore valid?" and we said: of course it's valid! And if you want more of it, keep focusing on it! (laughter) (HS: Yeah.) Because it didn't seem to him like he went out looking for that relief! It felt to him like, the world demonstrated. And he observed. And so, "that's how it is!" And he'd like to change it. And we say, we know that's why you came: You came to change things, that are not the way you want them to be.
But you never do it by claiming inequality!
You never do it by pushing against what you don't want!
That just causes your influence to become more about what you don't want.
And today we want, more than anything, to help you feel: You're part... you're important part!- in your expressing your influence. Your influence in the world, you see! Your Inner Being- oh, your Inner Being is flowing to you and through you. The influence for everything that you want, especially on this subject, is huge. But sometimes you get crosswise. You don't let your own inner being influence you! Because you've got some belief walled up, that doesn't let you receive it. But don't worry! As long as you hold that desire... because your Inner Being knows. Your inner being will inspire you to the experiences, that will help you unfold into the desire, that you want!
Because your Inner Being... oh this is such a wonderful thing for you to know!
Your inner being knows where you stand, in terms of what you've allowed to unfold, in relationship with what's in your vortex, and what you're asking for... so,
your Inner Being knows where the path is. What the path is! -The path of least resistance.
Which is to say, the path considering every belief you've got, that's in your way! Your Inner Being isn't saying "clear the path, and then you will know." Your Inner Being is saying: "You got quite a resistant path!" and will show you through it. We will show you through it, and some times -and this is really important for you!-
sometimes, the path to clarity about what you want, is going right through those unpleasant neighborhoods, that cause you to launch more rockets of desire- until the rockets of desire outweigh your feelings of disgruntlement. And then, off you go! .
Sometimes you have to meditate your way there. Because your thoughts won't let you go there- you've practiced too many, you've read too many books, you've marched in too many movements, you've watched too many programs, you're too mad at too many men... and so, it just can't get in. But when you meditate and clear your mind, stop your thought altogether, and your vibration rises to the equivalency of what your Inner Being knows- then what your Inner Being knows, begins to occur to you.
The other day Esther said: "I want my influence to help this situation. But when my influence helps this situation, and that situation improves- then what I think about the current situation won't be right." She's picked out someone, that she wants to blame for a whole lot of things! And she wants to help it... but then, all of her complaints would be invalid!
Because, sometimes you want more to be right than you do to feel good.
And so you gather up all the evidence of how right you are, and as you gather up all that evidence about how right you are- and you might very well be right about a situation!! But you're messing up the future! And it's not the path of least resistance, but the path of most resistance.
And the way you feel, which is everything that matters, indicates that. -Helpful?
HS:
Yeah. This just connects another thing... since I saw you, two weeks ago, I've been gathering evidence for the Universe is conspiring for me to be happy! And every time something happens, I put it in my little PDA, you know, and... and capture it. And then I celebrate it, and I realize: I haven't been doing that with gender equality! I haven't been building a case, and building evidence.
Abe:
Because building the case for something you want goes against what you believe, and nobody wants to do that. But, when what you believe is a sucky thing- that you would like to change...?? (laughter) Yeah, yeah! Really good!

Abraham on Transsexuality
Question: What does Abraham have to say about a person dealing with transsexuality? [Talking about] how to make a decision, which way to go...
Abraham: We would say, give your attention again from the inside out:
Seeking joy, seeking freedom, seeking satisfaction, seeking feeling of freedom, seeking feeling of Well-being.
And then identify that you are wanting to have a relationship that is satisfying in general ways rather than the specific ways.
And then be inspired o the doing.
We would encourage anyone regarding any subject - even this big subject that is so controversial in your time - we would encourage you to not worry about what anyone else's opinion is. For they cannot understand why any of you make the decisions that you make. (...)
Now let us tell you about this business of sexuality:
Let us tell you what is underlying and at the very basis for the decision that many make to resist what society says is appropriate, and rebel and seek their own freedom to be:
There are many who are teachers who are understanding so clearly that they are the creators of their experience and that they are not here to conform or to teach conformity, but that they are here to satisfy their own intentions.
There are those of you who are teachers that are here wanting to express very clearly that what you do does not need to affect any other. (...)
And who gets to choose what is right? (...)
And so, we say there are may of those who are very powerful from their perspective of non-physical inner perspective -
who are so much wanting to make the point of FREEDOM,
And wanting to be individual creators under very extraordinary, almost irrational circumstances, that they choose -
We're not saying that they came forth into the physical body with that decision.
We are saying that that decision was so strong within them, as they emerged forth into this physical body, that they were inspired to that action, because it was an avenue that would let them find their freedom.
Unfortunately, most of them have not found that freedom, because they're still looking for approval.
And so, they are wanting to speak what they do openly, and they are wanting the world to say:
"We applaud it" or "We agree with it" which is just as much doing to the others what they have been accusing the others of doing to them.
To ask for others to approve of what you are doing doesn't get you any further ahead than to feel the negativity of their disapproval of you. (...)
If all of you, or if any of you, or if you, could reach the point of acknowledging that your work is to find harmony with YOU, period.
And that what anybody else thinks about it has nothing to do with your experience - you would all have a much happier experience , and you would be of much more value to all.
- Abraham
