THIRD GENDER

Past life regression and stories about gender and sexual orientation.

So far, I have encountered several subjects who identify as third-gender or bisexual. Most of them cannot openly share this with their families. The fortunate ones have a few family members who are aware and supportive. Some have recognized something “different” within themselves from an early age; others always believed they were straight until one day they discovered they could be gay. Suddenly, on that fateful day, they realized they had a different reaction to someone of the same sex, just as intense as how they had previously reacted to an opposite-sex partner. Their self-definition was overturned: Who am I, where am I, and what is going on here?

Going back to the past with past life stories.

A completely straight female subject saw herself in a past life as a Qing Dynasty official, wearing neat attire and a cap, walking beside a beautiful, friendly young woman. “I see myself wearing men’s clothing, but I know deep down I am a woman. I am a woman disguised as a man.” After a while, she admitted, “No, sister, outwardly I am completely a man, not disguised, but deep inside, I am a woman.” I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen to someone in a high-ranking position in such a conservative feudal society—how would their life end? Yet, it turned out to be a rather fulfilling life. The official dedicated his whole attention to the state’s affairs, took care of the people, and left this world in peace, with no regrets about the unfairness of fate.

 
 

Another subject, a 100% woman, saw herself in a past life as a man who had a male friend from childhood. However, they came from two families of very different statuses: one was rich and noble, the other was quite ordinary. Their bond was more profound than friendship, especially the way the man’s gaze was always intense and full of love for him. When they grew up, his parents forced him to marry the daughter of a wealthy family. He agreed, and they moved to the capital, cutting ties with his childhood friend. War broke out, and he went to fight in a brutal battle between life and death. He happened to meet his friend again in a different cavalry unit. That night, they were together in an intense and emotional reunion, drinking heavily, crying a lot, and sharing many thoughts. The next day, they parted ways, each going their own direction. The war continued, and his friend was killed. After the war, he returned to his family, but life lost its meaning, and he could only remember his youth. Much later, he met a woman whose gaze resembled that of his old friend—a queen consort of the king. It was because of that gaze that he got distracted during a battle to protect the king, and the enemy killed him. It was such a pity because that life gave him another chance to reunite with his true soulmate, but once again, he failed to seize it, refusing to listen to his heart, refusing to do what he truly desired.

Yet another female subject, in her past life, saw herself as a young lady in England. Her father forced her to marry a man she didn’t love. She knew she had feelings for a woman from a poor farming family—kind, joyful, free-spirited, and very humble. The woman wore a very strange outfit, part skirt, part pants, which caught her attention. She immediately approached her and became friends because she, too, didn’t like wearing dresses and loved freedom. The two secretly met, but it was difficult to hide their relationship because the woman’s outfit was so unusual that people always stared. Eventually, her husband found out about the affair and locked her in the horse stable, beating her terribly. She wanted to send a letter to the woman, but no one could help. Her father didn’t intervene because he believed that once a daughter was married, she belonged to her husband. She was so frustrated that she took her own life.

 
 

I truly thank these subjects for being open and accepting of what has happened to them in their past lives, instead of stigmatizing themselves, allowing us to hear these stories. We don’t know how much we may have suffered under the prejudices of past societies. What a shame it would be for us to now play the villain, fighting against what we once were, right? And if you don’t follow the crowd in this life, that’s fine—just love yourself and don’t hesitate to choose what you truly want. Society today is far more accepting and open than it was in the past. If you can’t live here, move somewhere else, find a good place to settle.

Recently, I had a conversation with a gay male subject—a person who has practiced observing body, mind, and spirit for a long time and shared some fun discoveries with me. If you’ve never observed yourself, try it. You’ll see that these three parts are like three different machines, often working out of sync. The physical body can be sexually stimulated in ways that have nothing to do with the heart or mind, hehe. The heart and the mind are the same. Only through experience and observation can we truly recognize this. And judgments about others often arise in us when we’ve never fully observed and experienced ourselves.

I couldn’t help but laugh… Sometimes we may never know who we truly are… until we meet our True Love. ^^
