This is the feminine essence/aspect or energy that we all have within us, whether our physical gender is male or female (just as we all have a male essence/aspect or energies, as well).<BR/><BR/>Female energy is quiet, passive, nurturing, intuitive (while male energy is active, forceful and reasoning/logical). Male energy acts while female energy just is ("in the process of becoming"). One often hears of "motion and rest" in mystical/spiritual teachings. Motion is the male energy, while rest is female energy.<BR/><BR/>The feminine seeks to be expressed in all of us but it is not so obvious and often remains hidden within - we need to seek her in stillness - just "be" - to experience her. She is the one who inspires our ideas in the world of spirit but it takes male energy to manifest our creation - to bring an idea forth, give it birth and make it a reality in the physical world. Thus, "It is my husband who bore me" yet "It is I who am his mother."<BR/><BR/>"Yet I have born a man as lord" to me is symbolic of how God made Spirit (the Word/Wisdom) to become manifest in flesh as Jesus (the ideal Adam, Adam returned to Eden). It took the male, active, creative aspect/energy of God in union with the female aspect/energy of the Shekinah/Holy Spirit to bring mankind and the physical world into being.lightseekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735628202935418616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-76095388498757361292008-04-01T16:30:00.000-07:002008-04-01T16:30:00.000-07:00My vote is for sophia, much akin to Thunder.My vote is for sophia, much akin to Thunder.David Creechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09480313754533255555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-2637420155261752992008-04-01T15:12:00.000-07:002008-04-01T15:12:00.000-07:00Comment: Who am I?I have no idea, other than someo...Comment: Who am I?<BR/><BR/>I have no idea, other than someone who enjoys baffling her readers with contradictions.
