Is dividing God’s nature into the “divine feminine” or “divine masculine” boxing God into a false dualism?
Might it be that in essence, God is neither masculine nor feminine?
[essence (n.): The inherent nature of a thing or idea]
God is wildly more diverse than we might ever imagine!
Always breaking the boxes we put Her in. Never limited to our small-minded beliefs, religions, practices, and worldview.
At the same time…
We live in a patriarchal society, with systems developed by and in favor of those embodying toxic masculinity.
Ours is a time to uplift the Divine Feminine.
I just hope we don’t do so by creating another box to lock God in.
Let’s be careful that we don’t exchange God as the Guy-in-the-Sky for the Queen-of-the-Clouds.
God is “not this, not that.”
Open to the loving arms of the Goddess, but don’t forget that She is a He is a They is an All and is Everything.
