Bob, I think you have mentioned on your site that in Universe culture there are no social mores which makes love "exclusive" between two (or more?) set individuals; however you have brought the term of husband and wife for some notable individuals. Are such terms more political or cultural labels in the Universe or do some beings really have celestial partnerships/consorts/marriages? Do people "fall in love?" If so, what are the traditions? For instance, here, people exchange rings, give flowers to each other etc...? There are bridal showers, bachelor parties, wedding gift exchanges, etc... How do individuals who love each other express it to one another? Are there gender roles? I think you mentioned angels do not have "sexual organs?" I take it there are ways to exchange sensual pleasure with one another? You also mentioned some beings have sons and daughters but I think you also mentioned somewhere that it is not permissible for most beings in 4d on up to "reproduce" or "create" new beings - is my understanding correct? Are sons and daughters more of a symbolic thing (maybe like adoption) or is there a means of lovingly creating another being (between two or more individuals)? If so, is this more of an honorary privilege that is earned through service and long years of companionship? And finally, do you have a significant other, "not human" per-say?

I have not said the we have a culture devoid of social mores. Angel's do not have license to self procreate. The GOVERNMENT has to give permission.
We do have husbands, wives and children and all are based in love.
The photo of the pretty angel is Laura - my wife and also our medical practioner.

I think I've seen a larger pic of her posted on PHQ before. She's beautiful, Bob. I'm not a traditionalist, but, I find it romantic marriage and family is still a part of the culture. I am glad you have someone who loves and cares for you.
If all goes as planned, it will be interesting to see how culture evolves in the new universe you talked about. I can only imagine the possibilities...the technology, philosophy, art, politics, social institutions...how exciting to see all these new ideas come to life.
By the way, you mentioned the government has to give license to "self-procreate?" So a new soul (or child) is created typically by one of the parents vs. both? I take it the government also delegates the "function" this child will serve out?
And regarding my question on sensual pleasures, are these different than the physical realities we live with here on earth? Do you have additional senses to express your love with others? Are sensual exchanges more of an emotional or loving "high" over a physical sensation (or both)?

1. We express our affections the same way you do. 2. The universe governs births based up their projected need and future jobs are usually the center of such determinations.

Hi Cal, I am unclear as to which pretty angel is Laura. Is she in the six foot tapestry or is she in your recent avatar pic? The facial detail is such that they could both be Laura for all I know. I wouldn’t want to muscle in on your bird ya know. Cheers David
