Post #74 "Male/Female Dichotomy"

 This male/female dichotomy does not only apply to the gender division, but also applies to the male/female dichotomy that resides in humanity itself. As power devours, humanity's need for power determines what remains greatly limiting its capacity for altruism and especially compassion, which qualities, today, are almost nonexistent. These qualities have been drained and overcome by the need for power.

In all the struggles, wars and competitions that flowed through all the divisions that follow; religious, cultural, ethnic, racial, class, etc., the weakest position was and is determined through loss of power which is loss of masculinity. This loss provides food for the victor. The loser becomes meat for the hungry----the weakest being the one with the least power---the weakest always being compared to the most degraded of all divisions---the feminine. The side, position or person beaten into weakness, into submission is always the disgraced side that carries or is given the stigma of female. This is the shame, this is the status of shame that is given to anyone, male or female, defeated in any way; in any controversy, war, competition, or the like. This is the loss----the status of the masculine. Defeat forces one into the shameful position of being female or being compared to female. This one of shame, whether male, through loss of identity, or female through inheritance, is identified through a loss of masculinity/power, as a loss of substance. This one looses identity and respect. Consequently this person becomes only a nourisher and source of food. The lose of being creates energy. This energy is divisive and destructive; it is created through division and recreates itself over and over again according to its nature. The one of substance, the victor, having been fed the meat of victory, advances up the steps of Perfection, to becoming Perfect as God is Perfect---to becoming God. This dichotomy gives witness to the creation of creation, to the creation of image, to the creation of Non-reality. To who we are. To what we see as our purpose.
