‘While shadow-dancing my way to a new and improvised version of myself in relationships I encountered a glitch we all seem to get stuck in’
This is the serial killer of romantic, family, and friendship unions and why we walk into minefields on repeat instead of creating a lesbian partnership that ticks all the boxes of compatibility and mutual respect. You see we like the familiar and are drawn to it like shooting stars as we return to relationships that fail us on all levels of communication, companionship, and that nugget of gold we refer to as intimacy. And with this limited awareness, we try to build an empire union, with the limited information endorsed by our parent’s interpretation of what a successful relationship looks like. In most cases, a romantic or marital partnership is measured by its longevity and that can be a smokescreen for emotional neglect. In fact, our first view of relationships can be the dark mark of abuse as our trusted guardians play a game of co-dependency, control, or mental mistreatment. This sets the tone for young lesbian love and how we interact with our feelings and the memo received from their parents. Our early influencers on the path to same-sex romance. And how this pans out can depend on the transparency shared between daughters and parents in regard to their child’s gay stance. For some, the lay of the land could be a mix of religious indignation meaning mom and dad might instantly reject their daughter’s admission of being gay. This is a tough call for a young lesbian who found the courage to share who she is only to be met with disapproval from her guardians.
‘The familiar truth for parents who are devoutly religious may be that being gay is a sin and wrong so their daughter must either be possessed by demonic spirits or mentally impaired’
The reason is their familiar belief system in God does not approve of their child’s sexuality and it’s not necessarily the fault of the parents who may have been raised in this religious light and cannot see past their daughter’s aversion to romantically love her own kind. What happens next is a mammoth split in the family dynamic as each person struggles to find common ground and what once may have been a loving home life is now shattered by the lesbian elephant in the room. This is a puritanical approach synonymous with old-world religion and will be delivered as a blight on the family name as this young lesbian becomes the black sheep in need of intervention by the church elders. The damage to this child’s confidence and definition of herself is now in a holding tank as she feels the push away from those who are closest to her. You see the architects of this girl’s existence adhered to the familiar and could not agree with their daughter’s discovery she is gay and unwilling to compromise. The initial outcome is likely to be a stand-off as her custodians take in the news and refuse to negotiate their religious mindset. This scenario is being played out in homes across the world as the unfamiliar is met with disdain and disbelief. Some may feel their daughter is tainted and no longer a part of their collective. A sad happening that sees kids out on the streets estranged from siblings and parents who could not shake their familiar thinking in order to negotiate their daughter’s sexuality.
‘They say familiarity breeds contempt and there is validity in this saying as humans hold on tight to their convicted ideals that may be inherited down through the ages or as a ‘majority rules’ ethic’
A well-versed unwritten rule that if most people believe something then it must be so. In the case of our young; lesbians their mom and dad may feel out of sorts and interpret their feelings as shame and guilt for not fulfilling their parental roles according to their values. And with no resolution or shifting of ideals, the family foundation fractures as love is withdrawn on the grounds of long-held principles. It’s a travesty and way of the world as people struggle to challenge the familiar when the contrast is too hard to embrace. Our stick-in-the-mud mentality sees our gay youth falling by the wayside when the power of religious virtue dismantles a family unit. This can inhibit growth as we adhere to customs set permanently in stone by institutions like government and religion rendering a powerful influence over the masses in a message of compliance. The only way to effect change is to find the rebel within. These are the gay and heterosexual misfits brave enough to go against the tide of conformity and open the castle door to the new and innovative. By doing so they unearth the flaws in our conditioned programming and inspire us to be wildly curious and inquisitive. A cynical salute to a Piscean age of following the familiar while expressing words of religious retort and values designed by those who back limited thinking.
‘As we choose to jump ship from the Matrix our hearts and minds are open to new potentials and ways of living a free-spirited life’
A New Earth rationale of high-vibrational expertise in the arena of human kindness, compassion and dare I say it. LOVE that bandied about word that comes with restraints in relationships, and honoring the self. Love has come to mean so many things and is heavily disguised by words like control, abuse, and misdirection of humanity’s pathway to the enlightened. The lottery win of soul through human enterprise is like setting sail for unchartered shores where starting fresh is the key to tearing down the walls of ancient programming. A learned ethic drilled into the minds of mankind as the familiar way to go about life according to whoever decided how it should be done. And when we know the first signs of religion appeared in prehistoric times it becomes apparent how long we have been influenced by those who interpreted a God that had dominion over all on Planet Earth. The early days of religious doctrine set standards of morals and values pertaining to the laws of God and were written into the text as a preferred way to live one’s life. Each religious faith had its own unique pathway. And that was the worship of a divine guiding a worldly collective either on a journey of the soul via reincarnation. Or an ethic of morality governed by the teachings that humanity is made in the image of God. A matriarch that sends humans to heaven or hell depending on their good or bad deeds.
‘There are around 4000 or more recorded religions that create a power-pack of authority over their flock’
They do this by ignoring any teachings that disagree with the way they love their God. From this, we can ascertain religion is one of the most familiar frequencies humming its sway across every town, city, and nation while excluding citizens of society who do not have God’s favor and face the consequences of disconnection. And that is closeness to those who may see your lesbian or gay light as evil in the eyes of the divine. Such ingrained thinking sees young lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, and gays shown the door. By families who cannot love a child which nullifies their vision of a creator who blacklists homosexual humans. From this perspective, you can imagine being a teenage lesbian holding a candle for her unique sexuality in a family that denies her authentic self. The motif of same-gender lovers on a planet of religious persuasion. In saying this there is a distinctive pull away from the harsh stand one might have seen in the Middle Ages when witches were persecuted and burned for their Godly crimes. Sadly the aura of belief in a judicious God has not left our world and hovers over the lives of the different and beautiful gay men and women who honor their choice point in love.
‘I personally live by the code of reincarnation and a soul partnership that invites other souls on the journey to interact through moments of contrast for optimum growth’
A program shared by the universe as a mysterious dark matter fills the void every time a soul feels the transformative force of Nirvana. A mythical high-vibrational moment that defines a soul’s entry to enlightenment. In this magical place of co-creation, my life as a lesbian takes on a sense of self-love and pride for birthing here in this unique way. My free-spirited nature works enchantingly alongside a pioneer of the cosmos that supports and inspires their beloved souls. Brave enough to take on the conflicted animation of Earth. A go-to destination for souls wanting an epic time on a planet where anything could happen and usually does. What might trip up a soul on the road to higher learning is the bogged-down effect of getting caught in all things familiar. For example, you may reincarnate into a culture where lesbian sexuality is punishable by law and be forced to hide the fact for fear of retribution. The familiar story of mankind’s opposition to what they can’t perceive as normal is a roadblock to our species’ ability for compassion and understanding when it comes to what is deemed unorthodox. It is a human frailty to hold on tight to habitual ideas about ideas of skin color, sexuality, and cultural variances as a kind of nostalgic concept drilled into our DNA for thousands of years. The familiar is like a soft blanket that makes us feel comforted and there lies the context of no change to thought patterns that breed hate, racism, and disunion.
‘As long as we keep the premise that something is familiar and therefore right we will hold humanity back from awakening to a Shangrila-inspired world’
A land of plenty. Where the walls come crumbling down and our hearts open to our earthly brothers and sisters we are all of cosmic-soul descent and more similar than we have been programmed to think. If we are born of the divine and choose how we want to look, act, and experience this 3-D kingdom we might also choose to incarnate as a resident of China, America, or Russia as a feminine who will enact her life as a bisexual or lesbian. This allows us to consider there may have been past lives where we made different choices in order to encounter adventures for expansion. It is only our entrenched affection for the familiar that keeps us forever stuck in a repeat overview of ancient absolutes. Constantly spoken from staunch thinking about how our world should be run. It’s a tight-lipped regime of order that prevails today as ‘negativity bias’ a global reaction to the downside of life and streaming freely through the workplace, relationships, and general interactions. In fact a tipping point of apathy and checking in on the darker side of life rather than the positive. It’s a testament to our hard-wired responses to the negative news broadcasted via media outlets. If you want to create a familiar thought and action, the way in is through the kids looking for guidance and stimulus.
‘The young gays and lesbians take their lead from whoever speaks their language and that can be from the streets, music icons, or family who stamp their kids with long-held beliefs’
If this is a religious rejection of gays their life can be embued with feelings of worthlessness and self-hate. A disempowerment of their unique blueprint and LGBT ID. Our worldly comfort zone is exploding with epidemics, climate change, and economic instability a wake-up call for humans to turn a page with old standards and judgments of anything that’s not familiar. So how well do we think these archaic ways are working? Is it time to change the BIAS rhetoric? The ‘New Earth’ voiced in the bible and in New Age teachings has no use for prejudice, racism, or attitudes of defense against people of magic, psychic abilities, and lesbian sexuality. It will be a free-range Elysian where freedom prevails in the hearts of the traditional and dissident. The crystalline co-creation of a smarter and more congenial world that flies the flag of camaraderie. And supports Mother Earth, the animals, and our prestigious place in this universe. A focus for fabulous young lesbians to grow and flourish with parents who have shaken the patterns of lifetimes. Can you visualize a time on Earth when all gays will prosper under the umbrella of an unconditionally loving god? Where mankind crosses the precipice of division and hate? The door to “New Earth’ is opening. Will you walk through it?
‘The desire to decline those who feel too different to embrace is what we deem as familiar’
