GENIUS FORUMS

The more direct and definitive the terms are, the less opportunity for misinterpretation and disagreement. While I may present something symbolically, I am also glad to at any time clarify or provide more definitive explanations if something is not clear. Although providing the symbolic representat...

I have listened to you (syzygy) explain things like this, quite at length, only you and I know how much I've listened, and I consistently arrive at the conclusion that I don't actually know what you are talking about. Logic and reason is a tool for explaining and rationalizing one's experience. It ...

In formal psychology, even in folk psychology, there is little talk of "the light", the "otherworldly" or the "non-physical". None of these terms ever appear anywhere in the study of formal psychology. In psychological experience of individuals, regarding the terms use...

Animus, you state that by using "vague arbitrations" that we commit grosser and grosser errors of perception. And yet, in terms of religious/spiritual awareness/understanding, and of psychological understanding, symbolism is not only commonly used, but in terms of abstract concepts, it can...

Isn't there better terminology for describing this stuff? What do you suggest, Animus? Are you referring to the terms masculine/feminine? To some people, the underlying energies of the universe are masculine/feminine, as in positive/negative. Some see them occuring in absolutely everything. They ar...

I feel short-changed, syzygy: you didn't address any of the more poignant parts of this whole exchange. I've enjoyed reading all points of view in this thread. I take much in and keep my mind open. If there is any specific point/question you'd like me to respond to, I'd be more than happy to, my fr...

When we project "masculine" on this Force, it is akin to projecting human traits onto God. It's the projecting and the whole conception of "force" that in itself is masculine. It doesn't matter what you project on it or not project at all. It will still be masculine because of t...

For me the masculine is the will and desire for freedom, as it manifests in humans. It is the ignorant human being striving for Truth. The feminine is the will to relate, to share, to take part, to dance, to flow, to radiate, to communicate. So God manifesting itself through apparent dualism is a f...

it's natural that you and I have different perspectives. you're not debating my view; you're debating the map I've presented indicating some aspects of said view, which is based on the context of the moment. Well, just like others here I am only exteriorizing ideas, looking for creative opposition,...

Feminine integration with animus? I was told that was bad, err was it the other way around, something about a complete circuit and semen in the brain. Anyway, I can't allow people to start integrating with me, not without an initial get-to-know-you session. I think in our case, years of ongoing int...

Therefore the Infinite force contained the masculine and feminine forces before the separation took place, hence it being seen as androgynous. The problem with this, Syzyzgy, is that the moment one would conceive of any force or infinite, the masculine wave is ridden. Therefore from a human perspec...

With all due respects, the view expressed above is classically Newage (for want of a better word perhaps). It reads as just a bunch of unstudied theory of a feel-good variety. As a narrative it is a kind of sit-com. Or perhaps a shallow, Hollywood view of the strange reality we find ourselves in. I...

here we have the vesica piscis: http://shamanelder.com/myPictures/vesica%20piscis.jpg Imagine one circle to represent spirit, and the other to represent matter. When we can live from and walk in the connected area between the two, and when doing so, we are living as our awakened being template. As s...

The Way for individuals to manifest the Oneness of All, or of the Infinite, is to re-cognize the masculine/feminine unity in each moment. This is represented in the yin-yang symbol. This unity is the synapse of creation. In this sense, "God" (as in the Infinite Source) is Love. Oneness. Un...

God was masculine first (I am), there was no androgeny. God created the dualism to reflect unto itself its glory. I agree with this in general (except about I Am being masculine. I see I AM as preceding masculine/feminine splits). However, the "dualism" and thusly the feminine that "...

[You shouldn't pay too much attention to Prince, syzergy. Nothing he says makes any sense. I don't think he intends sensibility. All the other 549 posts of his are pretty much in the same category.] What he said made perfect sense to me, and I know what he says represents a view held by many, whate...

Also, I understand that many refer to God as an androgynous force, which transcends masculine/feminine differentiation. No, God is absolutely and perfectly masculine, who created the feminine for contrast to reflect the shadow self. All that Not Is. I understand this is how you see it. At the same ...

Becoming a god or a goddess is precisely about liberation and awakening. In my book anyway. For that is how one gains one's true power. When god or goddess-based philosophies exist in a hierarchical sense, meaning a masculine or feminine entity/force is considered supreme, above the complementary m...

While I see the masculine or feminine paths I speak of here as valid ways to the truth, and at heart, as being somewhat balanced (relative to more traditional male/female awareness roles)...the ways they play out will reflect the one-side-of-the-coin-ness of them. When there is presented lack of fem...

For a truth-seeker like, say, David Quinn, (that is if I understand correctly), 'misogyny' is a necessary trait or attitude. The feminine and the female represents---nay, is---everything that 'we' must fight against, resist, overcome . The battle is brutal and mortal. Independent of David Quinn and...

From what I've seen of the "liberated woman" this thread is about, it is similar to heart of the the masculine concepts perpetuated on this forum: they are about balanced awakening, and when the feminine or masculine is indicated, in it's balance, it implies it's opposite. And both slants/...

In Truth, awakening to the Truth is awakening. I, also, am a female, and my ongoing awakening has been precipitated from Truth, within. Truth knows not masculine or feminine. While there are many maps for reaching the Infinite, it's all Infinite, personal perceived bias aside. In order to develop w...

to add, I personally feel to align to and identify with either masculine or feminine concepts limits the Truth. that said, I can definitely see the relevance for doing so. It's just not something I personally subscribe to. edit: to add further, I can understand teaching from the masculine or feminin...

I agree, this is not goddess based. this sounds to me like the feminine version of awakening, to the masculine one posed in these forums. In Truth, awakening to the Truth is awakening. I, also, am a female, and my ongoing awakening has been precipitated from Truth, within. Truth knows not masculine ...
