Gender
Balance

When we really understand that the Divine nature of all that is contains both the masculine and the feminine principles, it begins to make sense that men and women each contain those Divine principles; that the energy of the Goddess exists within all of us. From the highest place of knowing, we do not have to assign a gender to the divine and we do not have to put a name and face on energy so sacred. But in our lives as human beings, with human personalities and beliefs, I truly believe that considering both God and Goddess helps us identify the dual (and multifaceted) nature of divinity.

As we desperately seek balance and peace on our planet, and in these times of deeply disturbing and frightening world events, many of us are searching for what's been missing in modern life. From my perspective, the most important missing spiritual link in our lives has been The Sacred Feminine – not instead of, but in addition to, The Sacred Male. We are at a time in history where both women and men are crying out for their divine “Mother” and seeking a spirituality that brings both divine parents to the table, not just one, or the other.

In order for any of us to be truly whole, we must embrace both the male and feminine aspects of the divine – and honor those aspects of ourselves and of one another. When we dismiss the Goddess as a concoction out of the minds of women, we are rejecting a part of ourselves, our history and our human nature; in addition, we are rejecting the divine that dwells within more than half of the human population.
