We all have a masculine and feminine side. We all struggle with our opposing natures inside of us. This post is written from the theoretical perspective of a female. In other words I think that most females can relate to what I’m about to share. But I believe that males can relate just as well. So I’m not trying to be sexist, I’m trying to describe an orientation and perspective on life that depicts one side of things and in another post I will be trying to depict an opposite and equally valid orientation and perspective. So the idea is to explore the duality that exists within each one of us, the masculine and the feminine that exists within each of us. Each post that belongs to this series will include the word duality or tantra in the title.

Her mind and body are highly integrated together. Her spiritual connection has become mental. There is a sense of belonging and companionship in social activities. Her intellect is brilliant. As she continues to turn away from her connection with goddess she loses her source of spiritual energy. Spiritual growth can no longer be done alone. It requires a relationship.
She doesn’t always get her own way with things and gets into trouble. As more of her spiritual energy leaves, she becomes increasingly involved in wild emotional currents. Her mental clarity suffers and her intellect and reasoning ability gradually drop as they are overwhelmed by the emotional currents that rage and surge within her. She seeks company, laughs with good companions, and enjoys the delights of the world. As she begins to deliberately use people she has less compassion, becomes coldhearted and lonelier.
