Hi Katrina,

There is not much posting here anymore. I don't know why. However, active posting is taking place in a group called Silent Temple Zen in a site called Beliefnet, if you are interested in ongoing conversations.

Well..I guess this is for my fellow night owls. I joined this pod after seeing it on Nicole's profile = ). I really liked the discussions on past life regressions. The pod is so diverse, which I love. It's so great to see the internet used to spread the Light <3

if one has compassion for all living beings then sex would never be completely animalistic because there is a deeper level of connection. But I don't think one has to be in love to have sex.

sorry, guys, things have been crazy on the God Pod (nearly 140 posts yesterday!) and in my personal life so haven't been here or on the other groups except to respond to urgent posts.

namaste,

nicole

yes-I agree there is right and wrong -just as there is black and white.

What is wrong for some, maybe right for other's -but there is a basic
principle of defining what is wrong-
anything that is unjust, cruel, vindictive or violent is wrong.

Right is goodness, compassion, understanding and forgiveness-
to name but a few.

I think it is best to apply the principle -
"do unto other's as you would have them do to you"

Yes but animal behaviors in human beings exist.

My celibacy is voluntary -and the first time in my life I have
had this chance to be.
But although there are some wonderful discussion's here -
I don't here much mention of sex and love being one-
and shouldn't they be?
Otherwise it is just an animalistic act -without love -isn't it?

Well, I'm new to both this pod and Gaia in general. I enjoy meeting people over the Internet and learning from others through differences in cultural and educational experiences. I find that spirituality is the forefront of my life experiences currently and thought this community might be a good place to gain wisdom.

I hope to engage in conversation with you very soon.

Keep Well,

Kyuzo
