The topic of this message is SEX. Now some of you may say "What's that?". It's certainly not a new subject to me since I am 62 years old. If anyone's interested in that subject then read on.

Sexuality is very important in our lives. In some ways it's ignored. In other ways we are inundated with it in our society. Why is sex important?

1. Intimacy is needed to make most people feel loved. We have all types of relationships but most humans enjoy a relationship with a close mate that includes sexuality. If you would like to know more about romantic relationships then I would encourage you to read the book I told you about in Message # 7.. It is entitled Be Loved For Who You Really Are by Judith Sherven, PH.D. & James Sniechowski, PH.D. They have also written The New Intimacy and Opening to Love 365 Days a Year.

2. When I learned about Hand Analysis I was taught that approximately every 8th to 10th person has a visceral heartline. There were two in my class - one man and one woman. These people are facing a lot of challenges in America. Puritanism was the foundation of U.S. sexuality and some of that is still around. People that have visceral heartlines are very loving people, and sex is very important to them to both show love and know that others love them. They may want sex from several people to meet their needs. Some would call them "oversexed." I don't do that because I will not criticize them in any way. They are normal humans and that may have been a choice they made from another dimension to learn more lessons to get closer to God.

3. There is a healing power from sex. Judith Sachs, a sex therapist, has written a book entitled The Healing Power of Sex. In 13 (my favorite #) chapters she covers all of the reasons we should have a healthy sex life. "Sex will not heal everything. But it can be a joyful accompaniment to life's journey." This book is a readable guidebook for that trip.

4. Sexual orgasm is the closest thing we have on this Earth to the feeling of heaven. That must be why we consider sex so important in our lives. We all need to show more Love, and that can sometimes be mistaken as being flirtatious or overly friendly. As we all show more Love all over this Earth it will not be considered anything else but Love because it becomes so common in our lives.

When I read the date/match/cupid junction profiles of men from the agegroup from the hippie/freelove era, they are searching for a woman with which to walk on the beach, dine out with, share coffee with, or cuddle up with next to the fire in a fireplace. They keep crying out "Don't judge me. Don't criticize me. Give me a laugh. I want to just go have fun and be me." The only way they can reach that destination is not to criticize or judge THEMSELVES. The more one does that, the longer the distance becomes between that person and their soulmate/special person that loves them. Think about that. There is always a person out there for you, but sometimes you don't meet them or you push them farther away because of your criticism of yourself. That results in actions like "not wanting to take a chance", moving to another wrong area, becoming a hermit so there is no opportunity to meet that person. Perhaps you've found what you think is the right person then he/she starts criticizing you, not paying attention to you, then gets off in their own world. Perhaps the closeness and sex disappears and you feel it is time to end this relationship. I read an ebook entitled Drive Your Man Wild. It could also be entitled Drive Your Woman Wild. The man who wrote it told women to pay more attention to a man, not to criticize but compliment constantly, give more eye contact, not talk so much but develop stimulating conversation for that man (access what he is interested in the most).

One woman told her therapist that she was so angry with her husband that she wanted to divorce him and "really hurt him". The therapist played his role. He told her "Just give him compliments and praise for the next two months. Then when he thinks you're totally into him, then let's file for divorce." Two months later the therapist said to her "Are you ready to file for divorce now?" The wife said "Hell, no. I'm totally in love with him now." What happened? Somehow she had forgotten to be kind and complimentary to her mate. Too many humans today are critical and fault-finding and that applies to themselves as well as others. Perhaps they don't understand how criticism works. It is wrong to think that criticism is an excellent way to "change your mate". Instead criticism tends to turn you or your mate away. By the way, you can find that book by going to the Internet.

Now some people avoid subjects like this, but when I'm told to write about it, I write about it. Continue your missions but at every opportunity show love and joy. That helps you and others get through this human life during this time frame.

"The day will come when, after harnessing the ether, the winds, the tides, gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And, on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire." - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
