===='''''[[Sexuality]]''''', '''''[[Sacrifice]]'''''====

===='''''[[Celibacy]]''''', '''''[[Sacrifice]]'''''====

R: Abraham, I’ve [[expressed]] this in this gathering tonight and you probably know my question of the [[heart]] better than the [[words]] I will [[express]] the question in. That is in the [[process]] of attending to your words of [[caution]] about personal [[agendas]] which are [[selfish]], interfering with Father’s will in sharing love with our brothers and sisters, that part of that selfish agenda is [[sexual]] [[attraction]]. It is my question that as we [[become]] more [[enlightened]] and those who have gone before us who have been masters and enlightened beings, who have chosen in their life at some point [[celibacy]], is it a worthy [[goal]] or decision making [[process]] to become a celibate being to serve as a [[pure]] vessel of God’s love? Or is there a way to balance [[sexuality]] and [[spirituality]] to [[do the will of the Father]] within that framework? I leave you with that question knowing that it has many holes in it.

ABRAHAM: My friend, your willingness to give up a part of your [[Humanity|humanism]] for the sake of [[the Father]] truly shows what a [[dedicated]] and loving individual you are. [[The Father]] doesn’t ask you to [[sacrifice]] any part of your [[human]] existence. I would say, your [[natural]] [[reactions]] at a moment of spiritual [[intention]] are just that, natural. It is not bad. It is part of who you are. It is part of the human [[learning]] [[experience]]. [[The Father]] knows your true intentions and your [[efforts]] to [[discipline]] your own [[mind]]. I would say, don’t be too harsh with that mortal mind. It is still in [[training]]. Seek not to flee from your human experiences, but to traverse them with your constant [[companion]] - Father Himself. Does that answer?

R: Yes, very well. Thank very much. As a follow up question about the [[spiritual]] and [[material]] world, we know some of the [[history]] of your life. You had much material [[wealth]] and you lived a very [[spiritual]] life. Is it possible for us now in this very materialistic world to have the [[abundance]] of [[materialism]] and maintain [[spirituality]] as you did? And would you change it in any way?
