A question from D.J. in Vermont. She writes: "The Golden Mean is the middle path of the Buddhists, and in recommending it, Cosmic Awareness seems to suggest we ought to be healthy well-balanced bisexuals. Or, as I say: "I don’t lust after bodies, and I don’t care what my friends have for plumbing." Is this so? Being gay or straight seems rather compulsive choice."

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness indicates It is not saying that entities cannot have some slight imbalance. The Golden Mean is the absolute middle path between two opposites. The Golden Mean, in its extreme rigidity, would mean that you would have to walk a tightrope in every step you take through life, and this Awareness does not mean that entities need to be that rigid.

The Golden Mean, according to Greek teaching, which is where the concept of this Golden Mean was made most popular, is a concept of not being too extreme or on the outer extreme edges of any issue. By being moderate, an entity escapes the wild swinging and uncontrollable fanaticism that accompanies those who are off the middle path.

It is simply a way by which entities can avoid the great pitfalls of life by walking the middle path. If you are to walk across a railing that has teeter-totters going the full length of the railing, and you walk in the center of those teeter-totters, crossing each one after the other, you will find it much easier to walk where the teeter-totters touch the beam of the railing, than to walk on the outer edges or ends of the teeter-totters.

This Awareness indicates that is what is meant by the Golden Mean. The Golden Mean is the path down the middle between extremes, between polarities, between opposites.

If one is negatively charged or positively charged and is born that way, it is not necessary that the entity have an operation to become totally neutral, but it is important for the entity to know that as a negatively or positively charged individual, one can take a path down the middle that is compatible with his or her particular charge.

Thus, if an entity is female or the entity is male, he or she may have to accept the reality of their maleness or femaleness and walk the path of life accordingly. You do have to become neutered to do so.

FOLLOW-UP QUESTION:

Well, it seems like she’s implying that heterosexuality and homosexuality are the two extremes and therefore, the Golden Mean would be the middle, or bisexuality.

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness indicates if this entity were to take this reasoning to an extreme, there would be no electricity, there would be no batteries. She would be out chopping batteries in half so that the negative and positive ends of the batteries could be hooked together. This kind of activity in creating the Golden Mean to neutralize everything would eventually lead to death on the entire earth because polarities are a part of that which makes life.

This Awareness indicates it is not practical to destroy life by negating everything or by neutralizing every polarity. lt is important that entities not follow extremes that are out of touch with nature, because they can harm themselves. To do flip-flops at the far end of a teeter- totter is much more risky than doing it in the middle, where the positive and negative ends of the teeter-totter come together.

This Awareness indicates, however, to take something to extremes, including the Golden Mean, is in itself hazardous. That is why there are always exceptions to every rule, and this entity is essentially considering the Golden Mean in its extreme position, which would neutralize and destroy all life, for to carry to its extreme the Golden Mean, and apply it to matter and antimatter, or spirit and matter, and try to bring these things into total neutralization, would leave nothing alive.

The male and female energies are there for helping to create polarizations known as children. The polarities that make the child’s life and form its body are there to keep the species going. They are part of the natural Divine Plan.

IS BISEXUALITY STILL JUST A "FAD"?

FOLLOW-UP QUESTION:

Some years back we asked a question about bisexuality and Awareness indicated it was a passing fad that would soon decrease. However, if one can believe the tabloids and so on, it hasn’t disappeared from the scene. There are many rock stars and celebrities who allegedly practice this lifestyle. Does It still see this as just being a fad?

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness indicates it depends on your interpretation of the word" fad." If you assume it is limited to a short period of a few months, like that of the hula-hoop as a fad, or if you see the term being used as something that may stretch over decades.

This Awareness indicates that It does not see this coming to an end in any near future, but that it will pass. This Awareness indicates that the movement recently of the entities in high school pledging to be virgins is not something that would have been expected ten years ago or five years ago, and yet it is starting to happen, and this may also be just a fad, but it also may be the end of a fad, the fad being brought on by the contraceptives, wherein so many participated so freely in sex.

It may be looked back upon as a time when between the early ’70s and late ’80s that there was a fad for entities to indulge freely in sex, and that the fad ended in the ’90s as a result of a new emerging morality, generally based on the fear of AIDS.

This Awareness also wishes to point out that the bisexuality that exists on earth is still very limited in terms of numbers. It may have existed for several years or decades, but the numbers involved in that type of behavior, especially when viewed from a percentage, is extremely low.

The fact that there are celebrities who are considered special people, influential people, who are involved in such actions, may put more significance on it than it actually deserves when viewed in its percentage on the whole of society.
