Summary

The article "God Does Not Have a Penis" posits that God is a non-gendered, unified principle beyond the confines of duality, and humanity's fixation on dualistic concepts hinders the realization of this oneness.

Abstract

The text argues that the conventional portrayal of God as a masculine entity with a penis is a misconception rooted in the projection of human characteristics onto the divine. It emphasizes that God transcends gender, morality, and dualistic distinctions such as good versus evil or male versus female. The author suggests that the human obsession with duality, reinforced by societal conditioning and religious teachings, perpetuates a cycle of conflict and prevents the recognition of the underlying unity of existence. The article calls for a surrender of dualistic thinking and a return to an awareness of oneness, which is our true spiritual nature and heritage.

Opinions

The author criticizes the historical depiction of God with male attributes, arguing that it is a reflection of the biases of the men who have dominated spiritual narratives.
The use of female pronouns for God is seen as a step towards challenging traditional gender biases but is still considered insufficient for fully embracing the concept of oneness.
The article suggests that the constant fight against perceived evil is a dualistic trap that ultimately perpetuates the cycle of duality, rather than leading to true goodness or unity.
The author believes that the stories and narratives in books, cinema, and news media, which glorify conflict and competition, contribute to the collective entrapment in dualistic thinking.
Surrendering, in the context of the article, means ceasing all forms of hostility and releasing the dualistic games that society has been conditioned to play, thereby allowing a reconnection with the non-dualistic principle of oneness.
The author advocates for a conscious choice in language, specifically in the use of gender-neutral pronouns when referring to the divine, as a means to foster an awareness of oneness and aid in the spiritual evolution of humanity.

God Does Not Have a Penis

And God also does not have a vagina

God, or whatever you want to call it, is a one-ness principle. It is NOT a duality principle, meaning that it is not male or female, good or bad, right or wrong, black or white. It just is.

God is what we came from, the one-ness we came from; it is what we are.

But when we entered this reality of duality we lost touch with that one-ness and every aspect of our lives became fractured into dualistic aspects. Nothing was no longer just what it was. It became either good or bad, male or female, right or left, up or down, dark or light, this or that.

Nothing was anything except in comparison to what it appeared to not be.

In humankind’s seemingly endless journey to reconnect with one-ness and the “God” it came from it has been seemingly hopelessly stuck in duality.

While searching for that one-ness from which we came we have been distracted. We have been conditioned and taught to search only for one side of any duality. We have been mistakenly taught that “good” is the one-ness that we seek and that “bad” is what we must avoid and fight with all our might.

But all that teaching does is keep us entrapped in duality. All it does is keep us in an unending battle. It keeps us fighting and fighting and fighting. It is a battle that can never truly be won and it is a battle that keeps us so preoccupied that we never realize the one-ness from which we came.

From a very early age we are taught that God has a penis. God is always referred to with male pronouns. All the many and various MEN who supposedly transcribed the words of God upon which religions were founded say that God created humans in “his” image. But they were the ones who created God in THEIR image. And that is why we are taught that God has a penis.

Nowadays there are those who can see a little bit beyond this flagrant misidentification. And they daringly choose to refer to “God” with female pronouns. They are equally mistaken as all the men who have had the corner on the spirituality market for the last few thousands of years.

God does not have a penis! And God does not have a vagina! God is genderless!

We try to scratch our way back to one-ness but we are forever stuck in a dualistic vernacular. From infancy we are taught that everything is either this or that and there is no other alternative.

We are taught and without questioning we believe that we must always fight for good against evil. We must bring out our phallic light sabers and other phallic weaponry to constantly fight evil in order to feel good about calling ourselves ‘good.’ Our heroes are always men or women who portray male characteristics. Our heroes are always those who fight to the death. Fighting is the ultimate virtue.

We fight for good and when we overcome evil, evil is what we become. That is the nature of duality. It is the ever-spinning wheel of yin and yang. The more we fight, the faster the wheel turns.

And this keeps us ever unaware of the one-ness that transcends all duality.

Fighting anything whatsoever keeps us out of one-ness and keeps us hopelessly stuck in duality. But if you read books or go to the cinema or follow the news, fighting is the basis for every single storyline. Fighting and competition is the basis for all human activity on this glorious planet.

It is what keeps us stuck and unable to evolve into a consciousness that enables us to bring one-ness back into the equation of existence. And it may very well be our doom.

We must see that doom as a challenge. We must see that doom as our clarion call to move beyond it in order to evolve to a higher consciousness. We must put our phallic light sabers down and venture beyond the ever fighting dualistic nature that we have been inculcated with.

We must surrender.

To surrender means to cease all hostilities. All hostilities are dualistic games that we play because that is what we have been taught is the meaning of life.

We must end and forgive and release all the games of duality that we have been fighting and playing and surrender to the one-ness from which we came and to which we will eventually return. Duality has been a lesson for us to learn what one-ness is not. We need to finish and learn our lesson so that we can remember what one-ness is and bring that back into our lives so that we can evolve TOGETHER to that which we all know deep down is our spiritual heritage and destination.

Our journey is our return to an awareness of one-ness. Every single fight is a blockage of that journey. We can continue to fight and maintain the blockage or we can surrender and open a door to that one-ness that our divine nature yearns to return to. That is the choice that we are faced with every minute of our existence.

A good choice to make in our return to the divine one-ness from which we came is in the choice of pronouns we use.

(P.S. I applaud the use of female pronouns to describe divinity by some authors because it jars us out of our conditioning — it’s a good thing and I do that myself — but it is only a half-measure that does not bring us fully into an awareness of one-ness. We cannot fully embrace one-ness as long as we use any gender specific pronouns to describe that which has no gender. God does not have a penis!)
