To the editor:
Your front-page story of the “girl in a boy’s body” has his/her father saying they don’t know why. The world will never know why — no matter what they discover genetically, materially — until they look deeper than matter into the mental realm and law of reincarnation, which will also explain the reason for gays.
Christendom denounces the reality of reincarnation because of the verse in the Bible, “It is given unto men once to die, after that the judgment.” That verse was given to aggressive people who thought they’d wait until a later life to back off, for the ideology of reincarnation was a common belief in those early days. Even Jesus said that John the Baptist was the reincarnation of Elijah (known as Elias in the New Testament). I give the Biblical reference here for those who would be incredulous at such a statement: Matthew 17: 10-13.
As the Source of the universe awakens in the material realm to Its everlasting Self-awareness, It must experience the wholeness of both masculinity and femininity. Hence, It must transition from one gender to the other experientially. It is such a big step that It cannot make the transition completely in one reincarnation. So, about 10 percent of the population is always in that midway point of homo- and/or bi-sexuality. Both could be called transgender (transition gender). It is a testimony to our evolving humanity that he-she (Nicole) is increasingly accepted as a mental being first and as a material body second.
Awareness of the law of reincarnation would answer many more questions about life and the Bible than just about sexuality.
