Morality: Judging Others By Our Standards

To judge others by our own standards is always a mistake. Because a group of people, or a group of voters, or the church, or the Supreme Courts calls something right or wrong, moral or immoral doesn’t make it right or wrong, moral or immoral. What they call it doesn’t change what it is.

Over the years I’ve conducted individual past-life regressions, it has become increasingly obvious to me that present day preferences have been programmed by past-life experiences. As one example, concepts of sexual morality have swung like a pendulum back and forth through history. In twelfth century England, thinking of sex was considered a sin, even if you were married. The “missionary” position was the only acceptable coitus position, and only for the purpose of begetting children. Sex was totally forbidden on Sundays, Wednesdays, Fridays and for 40 days before Christmas or Easter. Any pleasure experienced from this regrettably necessary act of perpetuating the race was also considered a sin.

Between the years 800 and 1000 in England, people experienced a much freer sexual morality. Celibacy was considered unhealthy and extensive prostitution was supported by authorities. Public nudity was accepted at beaches and women were free to take lovers regardless of their marital status. Men were free to seduce women of lower rank and could seek the favors of women of equal or higher rank according to the customs of the day.

The Inquisition, which began as a battle against heresy, eroded into a battle against sex. It was really a move by the Christian Church to eliminate a competitive and sexually-open religion--Paganism. Many a woman lost her life because a man accused her of causing his impotence. In the year 1400, the courts decreed that copulation with the devil was a capital crime.

By contrast, in ancient Sparta the public nudity of both young men and women was encouraged. Young people experienced considerable sexual freedom before marriage, as celibacy was considered a crime. It was acceptable for older men to “loan” their wives to relatives or friends for the purpose of bearing a child if the combination might result in a superior human specimen.

In Greece homosexuality was commonly accepted, and many regarded the love between two men to be the highest form of love. Grecian women received little education, with the exception of the courtesans who were well educated to better serve as companions for the men. Courtesans had more freedom than any group of women in Greek society and were often very wealthy. There was no stigma attached to their profession and they were received in the highest circles.

Is it surprising that sexual confusion exists as it does? As a group, we’re old souls. We wouldn’t be here experiencing the intense vibrations of our current reality without a prerequisite number of past lives. And we have been mentally programmed by those incarnations. As the sum total of all our previous experiences, we have innate feelings about what is right and wrong for us. Depending upon your past programming, your current sexual orientation may or may not be compatible with our current society’s mores.

If sex is not the most important issue in your life, chances are it is one of the top two or three. Problems come from repression in this area. You wonder if you’re the only one that thinks this, or does that. And this lowers self-esteem and makes sex an issue.

Anyone questioning their sexual proclivities should ask themselves, “Does what I do sexually work for me? Does it manifest love, health, happiness, aliveness and allow me full self-expression?” If it does, and no one else is harmed by your practices, it would be seem ill-advised to be concerned with society’s ideas of right and wrong.

Now apply this same viewpoint to all the other black and white ideas about morality.
