Perhaps you gentlemen can help me, in the
context of your discussion, understand this verse as saying what you have
written below.
AS this physical frame is the throne of the
inner temple, whatever occurs to the former is felt by the latter. In reality
that which takes delight in joy or is saddened by pain is the inner temple of
the body, not the body itself. (The Bab, Selections from the Writings of the Bab, p.
94)

Subject: Re: You never really know:
transsexual or gay?
Mind and Body are not seperate from each other in this plane of
existence, anyway.
The source of much physical suffering is prompted by the mind.
The cases of pseudo-hermaphroditism are definitely from the body, not the
mind. The events of genital ambiguity are definitely of the body, not the
mind.
As to the rest of it, it's a swirl of grey, not a pattern of black and
white. Gender dysphoria is complex, but undeniable.

off, sorry but I can't imagine one person "changes" sex, it sounds
ridiculous to me. Im not a pro in this, but I think very few
heterosexual-homosexual cases have biological or genetic implications; the
majority has psycho-sociological
antecedents.

These are all issues which have been raised
before the House of
Justice but they are not yet ready to make a
ruling in this regards.

As human beings,
we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our
responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it
ourselves. It is our responsibility. Arnold
