LLAM:  As always, thank you for joining me here today.

ROY:  My pleasure, Llam.  Sorry for the delay.  I had been reluctant to get going on this one because I've never thought it through.  Then I realized, I don't have to think anything through.  It's already thought somewhere.

LLAM:  That's nice and confusing for a start!  There are a number of people who visit this site for the first time and who will read what you just wrote and say "WTF?"

ROY:  So you want me to explain that.

LLAM:  Yup!

ROY:  (groans)

LLAM:  (laughs)  What's the matter - got a headache?

ROY:  Yeah, and I - LLAM!

LLAM:  (laughing)  I know that you really do, but I have to tell you, you've done some of your best writing when you're either dead tired or not feeling well.

ROY:  That's because I concentrate more on what I'm writing than on how I'm feeling.  I think.  Well, my thoughts think them, I don't know if I think anymore.

LLAM:  (smilies expectantly)

ROY:  So okay, for those of you who are new to Outlands and this blog, we feel that our consciousness does not reside in our physical brains, rather that we use our brains like we would a computer or an automobile.  Gets you from point A to point B.  Although there really isn't a point A or B.  And by the way that Llam is grinning, I know that I've only muddied the water some more, so lemme try again.  We are spiritual entities who use physical bodies.  When we reside solely in the "spiritual realm," what we call the "unobstructed universe," we are technically DEAD.  Although having lived with all of you spiritual folks these last......seventeen years or longer, you're all pretty lively.  But whilst engaged in "being alive" in the mortal end of the universe, and I mean by being a living breathing human being, we are not our bodies and brains.  We use them as means of communication - among other things.  We communicate firstly with our own selves in ways that we, as dwellers in the mortal realm, can easily comprehend.  We do this primarily by our emotions and feelings.  However, to communicate with another living human, we need a language; ergo, language arises from our emotions.  All human language is a highly modified set of cries, sighs and groans, highly organized in something of a fractal manner.

LLAM:  And that, ladies and gentlemen, is our mortal steward writing with a headache!  So what's all this stuff about sex and spirituality?  It's what the people are waiting for.

ROY:  Sex sells, Llam.  Anyway.

LLAM:  You stopped to think again.

ROY:  Yyyeeeeahhhhhhh.  Mostly to catch my breath.  From our viewpoint, sexual intimacy is a high form of communication.  Lately it is also a way to communicate sexually transmitted diseases but things weren't always like that.  Originally it was the best way to communicate one's emotions to another.  Those emotions were not as clouded with fear and anger as they are today, so of course today too many people are having miserable sex lives.  It doesn't have to be that way.

LLAM:  Watch it, you're sounding like a deva here!

ROY:  Perish forbid!  (laughs)  Today's blog entry is pretty straight forward.  Although I'll give a little history lesson somewhere, I advise anyone reading this to rid yourself of fear and watch your intimate life take a dramatic change for the better.  Of course, that's real easy for me to write, so I suppose I'd better explain how. It would be like a therapist telling you to "let go of your past" without explaining how.  It would help if you knew a little of the history of how our lives became so raddled with fear and anger.

LLAM:  And this is the history lesson?

ROY:  Yup!  At one time we enjoyed our physical bodies with each other, communicating with those whom we desired in the most intimate way possible - we made love with them.  Gender was not a considertion.  This began to change about 6000 years ago when a new gene appeared in our species Homo sapiens.  This gene made us a lot more aggressive.  A little aggressive can be good, helps keep the ferocious saber-tooth cats that used to like to eat us away.  However it inevitably occured that someone thought of turning this aggressiveness on their social peers.  Thus arose the first warrior castes and priestly castes.  Since this gene was not going to go away, it eventually happened that a whole group ran itself on aggressive lines, complete with warriors and priests.  The function of the warriors was to wage war - bug duh there - and the job of the priests was to tell people what they could and could not experience of the spiritual realm.  More often than not the priesthoods issued prohibitions and claimed that direct experience with the "divine" was their sole right and jurisdiction.  They confabulated a deity.  Most of the time this "deity" was nasty and demanded that people obey it or ELSE.  But it didn't - and doesn't - exist.  Now you could not enjoy sexual communication with those whom you loved; sexual love was confined to making more human beings, ahh, "be fruitful and multiply."

LLAM:  Why do you think that was?

ROY: Gaurenteed more warriors and priests - and in the case of the Indo-European people who subverted Judaism in the 6th century BC, made sure that women were forever second-class citizens.

LLAM:  Okay, you've illustrated the history of the Western world, but what do people do about it nowadays?  You're right as far as people being in chains sexually.  Of all of the things which makes we devas unhappy, it is the loneliness of you mortal folks who cannot communicate with your partners.  I'm aware that there are a small number of you who do, but by and large, you're all isolated in your selves.

ROY:  First thing is, I ask you, gentle reader, to consider that virtually everything that you've learned about sexuality is wrong.  That's a pretty tall order, I realize, but I'm asking you to at least think of the possibility.  Let me give you a little list:  Gay sex is wrong.  Sex is only for procreation.  Women are second-class sex-objects meant to gratify a man's lust.  A man has no control over his desires.  In a million words, WRONG.

LLAM:  I'll pick up a bit here, okay?  (Roy nods)  If you are attracted to your own sex, everything which you have learned which says in your head that it's wrong is a cultural overlay, a meme, which you absorbed from the world you lived in - which was created and refined by the aggressive priesthoods and warriors Roy mentioned earlier.  If you can embrace that this is a lie, you're on your way to being free of it - you are creating another memem, one which says that it is a form of holiness.  Procreation is an incidental by-product of the parsimony of evolution.  Somewhere in the deep evolutionary past a gene sequence emerged that bound sexual pleasure with procreation.  Women and men are not at all in a class structure, one superior to the other; rather, "male and Female" are two covalent kinds of humanity - and I might add, of we devas and angels as well.  And men who believe that they havve no control over their sexual desires are lying to themselves.  Know and understand these lies and you can create a sexual spirituality for yourselves.
