Summary

The text discusses the concept of duality in gender, suggesting the possibility of transcending this duality and embracing oneness.

Abstract

The author presents the idea that human existence is characterized by a dualistic system, with gender being a prime example. They propose that society has been oscillating between male and female energy for thousands of years, and we are currently at the apex of male dominance. However, they suggest that we can move beyond this duality and gender, embracing a state of oneness. The author argues that our insistence on assigning gender to all things, including God and the Universe, is a result of our entrapment in duality. They propose that our journey through duality might be a means of realizing and returning to oneness. The author also questions whether language, particularly gendered pronouns, is a stumbling block in this journey towards oneness.

Misogyny and Misandry

An endless teeter-tooter?

We live in a polarized system of duality. Life in this dualistic reality is a pendulum ride back and forth between polarities. As far as gender goes, humankind has been riding the pendulum between male and female energy, back and forth, for a couple of hundred thousand years.

It takes approximately 35,000 years for the pendulum to swing from one end of the dualistic spectrum back to the other end. For the last 35,000 years the pendulum has been swinging away from the feminine towards the male. Male energy has been intensifying with each century we encounter.

And it is has been in the last 2,000 years that the pendulum has approached and touched full male energy dominance. When the pendulum reaches one end of a dualistic spectrum it seems to stop briefly before beginning its journey back towards the other end of the spectrum.

For the last few hundred years we have been in that pause of complete male energy dominance. But the pause is ending and we are now heading back towards female dominance. We have been at the very apex of male dominance.

And we are now headed in the opposite direction.

It may seem like we are headed in a direction that we must prepare ourselves for but could there be a third option?

Could we jump off the pendulum, back and forth, ride? Can we go BEYOND duality? Can we go beyond gender? Is there something beyond that?

As physical beings in a dualistic world can we somehow incorporate oneness in a system of duality? Can we even go beyond duality to catch a glimpse and possibly incorporate oneness into our reality?

Or are we going to ride that pendulum forever?

Whether we fully embody maleness or femaleness we are fully entrapped within duality and any hope of embracing and embodying oneness is blocked.

For the last 35,000 years God has had a penis. Now we are headed in a direction where God has a vagina.

Sorry to shatter everyone’s beliefs but God does not have genitalia! God exists BEYOND a closed system of duality. God exists within a state of oneness. God does not have genitals!

But because of our dualistic pendulum ride back and forth we insist that God has genitalia and we base all of our beliefs in the energies our pendulum ride is taking us on instead of the oneness from which we came from outside of this dualistic reality. To us, nothing can exist unless it is either male or female.

We have become stuck in duality and have lost all connection to oneness.

We assign a feminine pronoun to the Universe even though the Universe exists outside of the duality of the perceived dualistic reality we find ourselves in. The Universe does not have genitals. Even though we have called God a ‘he’ for so very long, we are starting to call God a “her” even though “God” exists in oneness outside of the duality we are stuck in. We can’t seem to talk about anything without assigning genitals to that anything. We simply cannot “believe” in anything unless it has genitals.

That is how stuck we are in duality!

Can you imagine where humanity would be if we never decided to split into genders? God would never be either a he or a she. No human could ever be superior because of their genitals. We would never be in a state of perpetual conflict.

But could we ever find our way back to oneness without going through the horrific separation into duality? Could we ever find out what is the same about all of us without first discovering what is different about each of us?

And could we ever produce billions of us to ponder those questions?

It seems our genitals have had a purpose and our endless back and forth pendulum ride between gender energies has had a purpose. Is our journey through duality a way of realizing and returning to the oneness from which we all came? Is the balance between polarities a window through which we can ascend into a higher state of evolution?

Is the biggest stumbling block of language gendered pronouns?

Can we go beyond human dualistic language and experience the language of oneness of the Universe? Is that part of the challenge we all face in our spiritual evolution? Is language a starting point? Can we go beyond the duality we have all been programmed with?
