Funny, I am taken utterly by surprise by your last post. I’m not even sure what to say here but I am going to try. Let’s NOT condone free sex. (I am actually rather surprised at you, since there is no procreation in the spirit world, from what I understand there is also no sex in heaven. Are you missing out???)

Let’s start by learning from history. You sound a little like the hippies of the 60s with all your talk of free love and sex. We as a people were rewarded for that phase of history by acquiring AIDS and a bunch of other sexually transmitted diseases. It’s killing thousands and millions of people, leaving so many orphans in Africa and miserable, scared, dying, people all over the world. Uneducated people who think they will be cured by having sex with virgins, who walk around raping and infecting babies!

Free sex also opened the doors for many various new and different acts of “love” including sex with children, pedopiles… You have to know how many young innocent children were damaged by being introduced to sex in scary, secretive, and violent ways that they were never ready for, physically or mentally. I won’t even get into discussions of pornography, prostitution, sex with animals, abortion, date rape, sex drugs, pain, bondage and other things I maybe never heard of! What I have learned from my teenagers is that children (in middle class suburbs) are having some kinds of sex as early as 13-14 years old. Are they even old enough to know what love is?

Free sex has other consequences. How many babies end up growing up with one parent and no money? How many more pregnancies need to be terminated or born to unwed struggling mothers and deadbeat fathers, growing up angry and hostile before we close our collective legs and wait for the environment and timing that is in the best interest of the children? People around the world are killing their babies, or selling them to slavery–sexual slaves for horny men or work slavery for dangerous factories working their fingers to the bone. Every single problem in the world is because of a child who wasn’t properly loved and cared for.

Sex is not equal to love. Sex is EGO. Sex makes us feel like we are good enough, attractive enough, desirable, and young. Sex sells. Sex is power. Sex is exciting. Sex is forbidden fruit. Sex is MONEY! Sex is forgetting. Sex is release. Sex is so many things

I myself have been around a block or two in my life and I can definitely attest to the fact that there is a huge difference between sex and love. But often sex leads to love and more often love leads to sex, and yet they are different. I can love many people I have no interest in having sex with, and have sex with people I do not love. Yeah maybe it would be fun to have 2 or 30 or 400 husbands to love and enjoy but then they would do the same and in the end it would all turn into a competition for who’s got the most lovers the nicest body and we would all end up more insecure than before. Not to mention the disease and wondering whose child is this!

So now let’s get back to LOVE. YES, I agree, love everybody. (But mostly without sex.) I love my family and friends, people I know, and even people I don’t know. I’ve been working hard on this. I notice that it’s easy to love people I know or talk to or listen to. But some days I look around and see someone who looks ugly. And try to love them. What color is their skin? What size is their body? Rotten teeth? Acne? Handicapped? Blind? Give love and love love love. We are all one.

It is hard to love others with faults when you don’t love yourself. Work on knowing and loving yourself first. Accept your faults and theirs. Practice compassion, empathy. Walk a mile in each others shoes. Bear each others burdens, share each others joys. “We are all in this together…” “Get by with a little help…” “All you need is love…love is all you need.” (since you want some music.)

Love isn’t just for people. Love the earth and the heavens and the stars. Love your pets and your plants. Love your new car and the open windows and the wind in your hair. Love the pretty tulips blooming through the frozen ground. Love your favorite foods and your favorite sport. Love your favorite books and movies and music. Love how you feel when the sun shines on your face.

Love your angels and your guides, let’s not forget. I love to love! (I love sex too…sometimes.)

I love you David (and all) but as you see you struck a chord with me. And if you really know me you know that I am no Virgin Mary. But I am learning respect for myself and my body and for the first time in my life have learned that there are many more important things in the world than sex. Don’t ruin it for me now.

Love
