Sparkly,
I am currently reading a few books by Michael Newton on past lives and the time between lives. I highly recommend this author to you, his works
should help you alot as they are helping me right now. Just google his name.
First, the vast majority of us chose this life, choosing some general parameters that were likely to happen within it. After our last death and
before this incarnation, there is a time between lives. It's not willynilly random. There seems to be a time of healing and recreation and
community. And a time of learning and study about our previous life and lives.
Then when we decide we want to incarnate again, we develop a plan of things we want to experience, things we want to work on, things we hope to
realize within our souls during that incarnation. Our soul group, including our soul mate, helps formulate the plan and decide on roles to play
amongst ourselves. Our spirit guide and an elder council help with everything. And then we choose a body and off we go, we get born, and amnesia
takes over and we forget everything, lol, but it is all imprinted on our souls....
1. As for homosexuality specifically...I would intuitively speculate that a majority of souls living a homosexual lifestyle today chose to do so in
the spirit world before being born . They felt that that lifestyle would best aid them in growth and their learning. No soul is homo or
heterosexual. Homosexuality is a human thing on Earth and is likened to a mask that the soul is wearing.
(aside: re: "their learning" We all start as an individual light of white energy sparked off of the Source. We are like 1-day old babies at that
point. If we want, we can grow and experience and learn and develop these souls. And we do that in the spirit world often, where everything is
relatively awesome. But, we also can choose to do this in the physical world where the challenges are completely different. Earth is just one stage
where this grand game is happening, where we learn things like compassion and hate and courage, etc.)
2. There could also be karmic reasons. If we lived a life hate-filled against homosexuals, assuredly we will live a lifetime gay to get both
perspectives. We've lived many lifetimes here and elsewhere in the multiverse. We've been the richest man in town and the poorest beggar on the
street, the priest and the spiritually dull, man and woman, mother father, the whore and the celibate, killer and the killed.
3. We do choose, to a certain extent, this life, and there are probabilities and glimpses of future timelines that are seen in the spirit world; but,
we do have free will while here. I would speculate that some people in homosexuality didn't plan for that at all between lives. I would say that
percentage is smallish.
So, you take that small percentage and combine that with the majority from #1 above and you still have some leftovers. For most of the rest, they
knew that homosexuality was a minor (non-primary) possibility coming in, and they allowed for that in their choosing to incarnate.
4. As far as gender confusion, or being a man in the last life and now a woman or some of the other things mentioned in this thread, I don't think
it's very prevalent at all. I'm sure there is some high weirdness occasionally, but it seems like the soul life in the spirit world between
incarnations is very organized. And we mostly know what we are getting into before we go into it. idk....
Anyway, thanks for reading. This topic interests me alot, so thanks for starting the thread.
