Seeing with the Eye of Kindness
All of "Spirit's laws" or teachings show that dignity and choice can find a way to coexist with faith and even with religion, for those who wish it. I believe that from my studies as well as from my knowledge of the Higher Power as an expression of great love. It seems clear that our efforts to deal with sex and other trying issues, when we come from concern and caring, are met with loving kindness from the Higher Power. For those who still feel shorted, holding a cup that seems empty or half empty-- maybe if the glass is simply turned a bit, another view is seen with kindly paths to healing, love and freedom. The Bigger Picture overall is to see as Higher Power sees, with the great eye of Kindliness.

Guidelines from the Prophets-- Backstory & Possibilites
The Family-- Long- Time Foundation
The Prophets’ writings through the ages are to nurture all humanity. They teach us laws to guard our culture and our souls, to protect us, even from ourselves sometimes. These are meant as guides for when our actions can hurt others as in our conduct around sexuality. The family, a vital foundation for society beginning even before our emergence from the cave, relies on caring that includes sexual restraint and fidelity. Not many of the actual Prophets have endorsed variations on the standard theme of marriage between one man and one woman and even the more modern faiths* often say little more than that they neither “condone nor condemn” homosexuality.

Prophetic teachings around sexual expression can be hard to take or understand alongside social movements calling strongly out for dignity for both hetero- and homosexuals. Allowing one's own private life seems only fair and can even co-exist with many Spirit-teachings.
The Prophets' road was the most narrow of any time. IT wasn't mean, however, or harsh on them or us. I've come to wonder if such an awesome Being who comes from some amazing plane of great perfection could possibly have held up a standard that is less than the highest of humanity. If such an awesome Soul, it seems does not ask the very highest from us, what mortal on this earth will do so?

Feeling bad, shunted off or guilty when we don't match up to perfectionist, great or sometimes super- human standards is not part of any Higher powered plan. It never, never was intended for us. Feeling shame can be a wake - up call for those who can let it go after making things as right as possible and then turning to a Higher- Power. But when that feeling lingers it is hurtful and destructive. None of us, I'm certain, is expected to hoe a perfect row in life, and those who match up on the outside often live with a different or hidden challenge.
As a rebel I ask:
Are the Prophets mean or are they just fools, swayed by the superstitions and passe traditions? My studies see them as amazing and super- human with awesome love-qualities and great Higher vision.
Are certain sanctions or "rules" (as people would call them) set up bu these holy Beings really be stupid -- or could they just possibly be something better than that? So many believe they truly are from a Voice of something much Greater than we humans know? If so, the guidelines they bring must be designed not for harm or for hurt but to possibly lead us to the best we can be, and the best that all humanity can grow to be. The spiritual laws as given may, as some say, even protect us from walking in roads that may lead to changes to alter the course of our world. Or to a break in a tenuous, vital and sensitive balance in us or in culture based on long- standing arrangements for well- being and healthy families. These mores have been unquestioned and kept in place through the ages. Today's modern ways will surely test that! And the fact is that no one anywhere can do more than guess at how it may turn out in the end!

Living with Faith, Sex, Kindliness & Doing it Your Way --
Most faith writings come direct from the Prophets & mostly have rules about sexual involvements outside of marriage. If you, like many, want no part of that, then if you just don’t flaunt it most faiths will leave that up to you, as something between you and God or Higher Power. If your mind is set on it, you can do things your way in or out of most any faith or spirit- way, or skip that part entirely. Again, the Bigger Picture overall is to see as Higher Power sees, with the great eye of Kindliness.
