“He made them male and female and blessed them. The authors of the Bible assumed that God created two making one male and one female, but this statement was not a statement of plurality (creating two beings). It is a statement of inclusiveness that humanity is whole both male and female. So God created man in his own image.” This part of the western Bible has caused more pain in society than can be imagined. First the word man has been misunderstood. The word man was originally used to mean humanity. Humans are androgynous by nature physically and spiritually.
Each person carries the vestiges of what has traditionally been designated as male and female genitalia. This wholeness plays out in many ways. Every act of creation, writing, cooking, art, making love, singing or just being requires you use your androgynous nature. Your genitalia have little or nothing to do with your acts of creation. This androgyny is seen throughout as Ying and Yang. It is this wholeness (masculine/feminine) that gives us a feeling of completion. It is this wholeness of being we experience at the moment of orgasm.
An orgasmic moment can be while we are making love (or just enjoying a sexual encounter), it can be when we see a movie that affects us, making a dinner, writing, listening to music. In other words it can occur anytime we drop our pretense of being either male or female and just be. It is in this moment where we find absolute harmony and balance at a spiritual level.
In a sense for us to say I am lesbian or gay, bi, or hetero, or Trans, or or or is not really so. We all are androgynous therefore we are all genders. Meaning that neither our masculine or feminine energy stands by itself. It is this very idea of being Gender Neutral—of being whole—that frightens the Strict Father way of thinking. For in the GLBTQ community we are neither male nor female; we are whole beings. For most of us sexual encounters are moments of spiritual understanding of higher self, Truth, and God. Our orgasms and meeting a lover are not based on a misunderstanding of our nature, but rather a releasing of our androgynous nature from a box. When we open that Pandora’s Box, many things are let loose.
To be freed from a dark box into the light is symbolic of consciousness awakening to its progenitor. When we open the door to our true identity we cannot step back into being a male or female, we can only exist as a whole being, an androgynous being knowing itself expressing in the image of the creator source of life.
Our sexual appetites are not something we choose but rather the way in which our consciousness unfolds. Saying we can choose not to be harmonious and expressive of our androgynous nature is like saying we can choose the color of our skin or eyes. To be in the image of the progenitor is to be whole, complete, without beginning or end. The consciousness we call the progenitor manifests in infinite variety. We share the majority of our genes with all living life. All life manifests in a harmonic balance. And as the grass does not choose what kind of grass it is to be, so it is with humanity.
You are an artist creating your life with love. Art is a creation of love, sexual energy is a creator of art. All life is art and therefore love.
To me, pride is not about being different but rather about being whole and loving who I am.
