My daughter is my daughter.  She is also her father’s daughter.  So she comes by her tendencies to speak her mind, honestly.  A lot of times we clash, when I do not agree.

We had such an instance today, when it came to California’s “Proposition 8″, which made same sex “marriages”, illegal.  Angela doesn’t like the idea of negating freedoms AT ALL.  She cites bias and prejudice towards alternative lifestyles, as the basis for her perspective of what is going on. And marched off in a huff because I didn’t agree with her~victimization scenario~.

Angela is only 14.  And has just reached the age where I can share with her what I understand.  She is asking, expressing interest.  And will become a far better messenger and communicator then I ever could be, when she comes into her own Power.  Far more naturally attractive to Mass Humanity then I, because Humanity will have changed by then.  So I guess I could say I do what I do for my daughter.  To pave the way for the realization of her Passions.

I recognize the validity of same sex marriage.  I simply don’t recognize the state’s right to deny the Sovereignty of our Hearts.  We WILL Love and Live with whom we WILL.  We do NOT need a “license” or any other “authority” to sanction Loving someone.  To be “married” or “joined together” in our Hearts and Souls.

Licenses and blood tests came about related to the health of possible children.  And does NOT relate to “same sex marriage”.

In observation of the fact that opponents to same sex marriages adamantly express being LACKING in genuine and essential qualities of character, namely LACKING in Tolerance, LACKING in Acceptance, LACKING in being Understanding and filled with FEAR, I question this group’s “parenting skills” to begin with.  So as concerns possible children of said marriage, our choice of the way we express personal intimacy, sexually, has very little to do with parenting.

As for what is going on, as I told my daughter, this is about *benefits*.  It’s about who is going to get their *benefits* paid for, by others.  And what I told my daughter was…

We have the Liberty to Love and Live with whom we will.  Sovereignty belongs to the People.  This whole drama is being created  by giving false power to an outside ‘authority’.  That, is Self betrayal.   And choosing Self betrayal, is what both sides of the issue have in common.

Proponents of same sex marriage are seeking the VALIDATION of the State, having surrendered the Authority of their own Hearts, just like the opponents to same sex marriage, have surrendered the Authority of their own Hearts, over to their preachers and priests.

Surrendering the Sovereignty of our own Hearts was our *old* way of doing things.  While CLAIMING it, is our *new*.

On election day I sat across the table from one of my in-laws.  A very Precious Lady.  Sincere and genuine.  While her children filled out their ballots, voting for those I already knew were going to lose.  She told me a story of one of her friends.  Her friend had been all confused about “voting” and “elections”.   Anything having to do with “civics” being totally beyond her understanding.

So when she spoke of Freedom of Religion I said, “Yes, we all have the Liberty to choose our Beliefs.  But the definition of Liberty is the freedom of choice while being responsible and accountable for the costs and the consequences.  License is not Liberty.  License is when we insist on freedom of choice and deny the costs and the consequences of those choices.  And I am speaking about being responsible and accountable for the consequences of our beliefs, to our mental and emotional health and sense of well being.  Believing in the worship of fear and ignorance carries with it costs and consequences.
