Heavenly Gender Roles - Your Father and Mother

"God" is often referred to as Masculine. This is because the Most High God was the great Emanator, the original Cause of all things - this trait of out-pouring is always masculine, whereas the receiver is feminine. Whether it be Plato, Hermes, or the Prophets of the Bible, this masculine Being is pure consciousness. Hermes called it the Mind of the All, God told Moses he was the “I Am”, Plato and John referred to it as the Reasonable Word... and it was through the Word (Command) of this Conscious Being that all things came into existence.

The word "mater" means mother in latin. This is the derivation of the word "matter". It was matter that was the receptive (yin) aspect of the Conscious Masculine (yang) Force. This is why the Father blew His Spirit into the dust of the ground (earthly matter) to create the first human (which was also androgynous - "Male and Female he made them"). Once this original creation disobediently opened pandora's box of suffering, there required a redemption. That which would redeem humankind would be made similar to the first human, it would be the Father Spirit impregnating matter (Mary) once again. This great Redeemer (Jesus) would introduce the Father and re-open the gates to paradise within our midst and teach the lost Children of God how to escape the matrix.

Matrix, also derived from the word mater, means "breeding female". This is a reference to our contemporary realm in which we rely mostly on matter for our sensibility - we are not to stay here, but rather, we are meant to come forth, like a child from a womb. Similarly, Plato called this the receptacle, in which souls developed through the human (material) experience and were received into the world of Forms (heaven). This is the way in which cosmic reproduction occurs – creating new conscious entities to branch off into more expressions of consciousness in the tree of life. This is assuming that we as children develop properly and receive our Father’s inheritance – to do otherwise is to sin, which means “to miss the mark (of life)”; therefore, we die because we sin.

The Essenes were well aware of this process of the soul's ascent, and they describe how one must first be nursed by their earthly mother (natural matter - the wilderness) before they can go off into the realm of Spirit and receive the Father's Inheritance. This is what Jesus was doing for 40 days in the wilderness, and also why he was offered rulership of the world - he had relinquished all material desire and thus surpassed the matrix. Buddha also exemplified this born again process by fasting in the wilderness for 49 days. After refusing the temptations of mara (demons) he achieved enlightenment and liberation from the world of suffering. This is the second birth - the Spiritual Birth:

"A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." John 16:21-23

This illimitable world is the Father's realm of Spirit. Embrace it like a child.

Great thread.

The church (bride/body of Christ) has taken the place of the true Mother of creation, Mother Earth. The church is the whore, the one who has relations with another woman's husband. Christ is the Father, Earth is his bride, NOT the church, the church is the whore of Babylon and her teachings (Jesus dying for sins) is the mystery on her forehead. The true temple/church is the body and our bodies are God's temple.

Jesus is the Son of Christ, the child always takes the name of their father which is why we call him Jesus Christ, because Christ is the Father of creation, Jesus is his Son.

We are the Son of God because we come in the form of God's image, that of light. Jesus is the image of God and light of the world according to the bible, we ate created in God's image. The image is what we see, the image of light that reveals the world around us.

Jesus represents us, what we are on a fundamental level. We are the light of the world and image of God. Religion has blinded us to our true nature which is the divine experience that has no beginning or end.

Father - Animating force

Son - Mind's eye

Mother - Earth/body

Holy Spirit - All three/God

The Emotional State of BEING (Feminine) exists first,
Then the ACTION (Masculine) happens.

The HEART (Feminine) exists first,
Then EXPRESSION (Masculine) of The Heart happens.

SPACE (Feminine) exists first,
Then Activity (Masculine) happens.

PEACE (Feminine) exists first,
Then ANGER or FIGHTING happens.

A CREATOR (Masculine) creates his CREATION (Feminine),
But even a CREATOR (Masculine) exists within his own SPACE (Feminine).

BEING/EXISTENCE (Feminine) lead to The First Cause (Masculine).

Without EXISTENCE/BEING (Feminine) there would be no way for The First Cause to happen.

So, seeing God as Masculine (Creative Force) seems accurate, but seeing God as Feminine (The Space that allows Creativity to exist and express itself) seems to be accurate, too.

Natural Heavenly gender roles are unisex for lack of a better term. Males are not part of the reproductive process. Heavenly females would produce something similar to an ovum that has two sets of genes which is solely provided by the mother. A male would not be needed to fertilize the egg with sperm. The FORCE that many people attribute a name to, has no gender because the FORCE is too powerful and humongous to simplify like that. The FORCE is not a jealous FORCE because the FORCE has always been beyond anyone's full comprehension.

The suffering was due to the switch between parthenogenesis and sexual reproduction with different but similar species which infused male hormones and a Y chromosome.

In the womb all babies start off as female, but while they are developing, a bunch of different hormones like MIS and DHT change them. Men have nipples and a raphe line.

Do you have to bring sex into everything?

Do you have to bring sex into everything?

Its hard to avoid in our contemporary world of duality. Love is the force urging the two sexual poles back to unity, but so many have fallen short of fulfilling this destiny - this is sin. Love is lost in lust, which has rendered many to be befuddled with a perverted perspective of sexuality. The animalistic sexual act that you are familiar with is the most base aspect to the sexual embrace, yet so many are enthralled and complacent with such short-comings.


@Other-Posters

You all mentioned to some degree how these Heavenly Forces should not be considered separate, and also how these definitions do not suffice in truly articulating the unspeakable nature of Divine Being - from this androgynous Image was humankind created:

"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27

“...at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’... So they are no longer two, but one...” Matthew 19:4-6
