Double Down Duality
This post is a continuation of my last post about the true nature of duality and male and female energies. Male and female energies have existed long before male and female lifeforms, this is very important to understand. Male and female awareness are opposites or reciprocal’s of each other, equal but completely opposite. The male awareness has evolved from an expansive growth oriented position that has been termed solar in nature. Female awareness has evolved and existed long before the division into the physical male and female sexes as well. It has been termed lunar in nature.
Female energy is that inward creative and embracing energy that brings things back to source, or completes the circle. Male awareness and female awareness can never directly understand each other because they don’t exist in the same manner. They evolve in completely different ways. What we can do is develop both types of awareness within ourselves and learn how to balance and integrate them in a healthy manner. If either side of our awareness is unbalanced or distorted our opposite side will be just as distorted!
The entire difficulty in finding our Divine Counterpart demands that we must first find and integrate the opposite sex awareness inside of our own self. The entire issue centers around the concept of Self and Not-Self. We each have an awareness and understanding of who we think we really are. But there is a part of us that we are blind to, a part of us that we are not aware of, and the first thing we need to do is become aware of that part of us which we deny or do not recognize. In psychological terms this means dismantling and absorbing both the Shadow Self and the Higher Self. The Shadow Self represents those things inside of us that we repress or fear. It represents those things we are ashamed of or recognize within us that we wish was not that was not there. Our Higher Self represents those things that we wish were inside of us but are unable to find within us. We struggle to achieve them and to integrate them and never seem able to reach them. In both cases we are dealing with the issue of Self and Not-Self. With the Shadow we don’t like ourselves and with the Higher Self we feel separated from what we want to truly be. The true and healthy ego needs to integrate both of these to the point where they have become absorbed into our sense of Self, and to our healthy human ego.
I’m going to use a metaphor that might help to explain what I’m talking about. The human body, like all of creation, is based upon vibrational alternating energy. Personal awareness, however, is based upon a pulsating direct-current or unchanging orientation of either expansive male awareness or embracing female awareness. Our personal awareness is normally not dual in nature. But two types of awareness exist within us. The female can express her male aspects and the male can express his female aspects, but only by switching to a reversal in polarity of the normal awareness. We normally act out of the awareness that reflects the physical gender of our physical bodies. Even though we are capable of expressing both, we don’t express them both at the same time in a normal situation.
The spiritual path however, shows how to integrate both the male and female aspects of our own self to create our soul. Our soul is neutral and acts as an Observer Self or secondary separate awareness which we can more closely begin to identify with.
What I’m really trying to say is that males and females think that they know each other, and think that they can understand each other, but in reality this is far more difficult to do than one might suspect. Males and females experience life and the environment in opposite ways and they always will. Our Divine Counterpart experiences life in a totally opposite way from how we experience life. But even though we experience life and our environment in opposite ways we still experience the same environment! It is possible for us to draw similar conclusions, to have similar values, to share similar beliefs, and to share similar thoughts, emotions and feelings. The more that we can integrate the opposite sex awareness within ourselves, the more we can appreciate and connect with others of the opposite sex.
The soul itself is created from a balance of male and female energy. The only way for a male and female to truly connect in a meaningful way is through a soul connection. This is what love is about. This is why people fall in love with each other. This is how people become more balanced and more healthy. All of this happens on a nonphysical level and has nothing to do with physical sex or the birth of children. What I’m talking about happens on the nonphysical planes, the astral planes. I’m talking about the development of the individual soul and its powers. The path of physical sexuality, pregnancy, birth and children is very well known. I am not talking about that path. I’m trying to share things that have been hidden and are not that well known.
