| One very big mistake people are making in this society, is to go looking 'for a relationship' meaning 'a partner to have sex with'. We teach that sex is properly and naturally an expression of love and devotion, not something to go looking for. It is part of the ideology of this new spiritual path that when people meet each other, they will ideally think only whether they enjoy each other's company as potential friends, and not make immediate assessments as to whether they find each other sexually attractive or not. If their pleasure in each other's company, over a long period of time, turns to love, that is the right time for them to ask themselves, and each other, whether they both wish to express their love sexually. We recommend that people do not indulge in casual sex. When sex is an expression of love and devotion between two adults, whether of the same gender or of the opposite gender, who have made a loving commitment to each other, then it is a spiritual activity. But any relationship where the sex is the main reason for its existence is really based on casual sex. Or, look at it this way, any relationship which would cease to exist just because the sex stopped, is really based on casual sex. We recommend that if you meet someone and wish to have a sexual relationship with them, that you first get to know them for about two years, and you both make a meaningful commitment to each other, and have other ways of showing love and devotion to each other, before you enter into a sexual relationship. This allows time for a real relationship to become established, which will then, hopefully, withstand the various pressures of every day living over many years. We do not suggest this to be unkind, but to try to help people avoid getting into difficulties by jumping unprepared into hurtful or unsuitable sexual relationships. Our society is, unfortunately, full of sexual abuses, of which casual sex is one, and we recommend that you take proper care of yourself by refusing all offers of casual sex, no matter how tempting. |

| Two steps forward and two steps back |
| Another big mistake we come across time and time again, as Spiritual Teachers, is that many people think they can follow their spiritual interests, while in a relationship with a partner who is actively or passively opposed to it. However we have noticed that this situation holds back the spiritually inclined person to some degree, sometimes very badly. The two people work against each other. It is like painting a room, with one person wanting to paint it pink, and the other wanting to paint it green, each painting over the other's efforts, so nothing gets accomplished. |
| People of all sexual orientations are welcome on this spiritual path |
| We are aware that some religions and spiritual paths exclude everyone who is not heterosexual. We teach that God loves everyone of every sexual orientation equally dearly, and does not think any sexual orientation is wrong. People of all sexual orientations, heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transvestite, or transsexual, are welcome on this spiritual path, and will receive the support of the spiritual teachers to be open and comfortable with their natural sexual orientation, with no pressure to suppress or 'change' it. |

| The natural self, the spiritual self, inside each of us, is loving and kind and generous and social. The natural self reaches out to others, cares about others, wants to help, to support, to live in harmony. In an ideal society, the natural self could act on its caring impulses with good results, and without coming to any harm, because it would be able to trust that the people it reached out to, were showing their own real nature, and would therefore also treat others well. But this is not an ideal society, instead this society harbours many kinds of false interactions between people, and these can lead to entirely false relationships, inside which the natural self is desperate for liberation into something real. Add to this the good spiritual advice to keep good company, and you will find yourself in even more of a dilemma. What can you do about the unreal relationships you find yourself in, or find others offering to you? You need to protect yourself from all kinds of false interactions to the best of your ability, even if that means you only have a few friends, and 'keep yourself to yourself" if necessary, at work and in your neighbourhood, and possibly even within your family. Try to be as real as you can in all your interactions, even when it seems to cause you problems, because then you are going with the flow of divinity and the universe, and in the end you will reap enormous benefits. You need to stay as real as you can for your own spiritual health. Whenever you lie with the intent to deceive, or when you have ulterior motives as you interact with others, you not only deceive the other person but you also alienate yourself from your own innate nature and from the nourishment and support that you receive from God. You might think you gain something you want, but you are definitely not gaining anything real, for you set yourself apart from the natural and loving existence that is underlying everything, and then one day you will have to deal with all of your bad behaviours and put them right. Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, whatever you have been doing that you know was wrong, ask God for healing and guidance, and join the natural and loving existence. It is never too late, you will feel a weight lifting from your soul, you will feel the great sweeping support that is available to all that are living a good and decent life. Even if it seems to you that being good brings you no gain, be still and listen to your inner self, listen to the wise melodies of love and all good things, do so by meditating on all the wonderful dreams God dreamed for all Its darlings. Be real yourself, and wisely protect yourself from false interactions with others, and you will help yourself in your spiritual journey, and also help make this society a better place for everyone. |
