Whole Being

Mind + Body + Soul: Spiritual Health

"Whole Being"

Today, through the unraveling of the human genome, biology has shown that no man is 100% man and no woman is 100% woman. A man is 51% man and 49% woman. Likewise, a woman is 51% woman and 49% man, just a difference of 1%.

If you have taken birth from the Masculinity of your father and the Femininity of your mother – then, how can you be only male or only female? The qualities of both are bound to be there in you!

This is the basis behind the symbolic representation of the classic Hindu religious figure, Lord Shiva – who is represented as being half male and half female.

Whether we accept it or not, we are an embodiment of both male and female energies. We are whole, not divided.

In order to be complete, to be whole, it is essential that we are able to accept and express both the masculine and feminine aspects of our nature.

This is often made difficult, because from a very young age we are conditioned into our roles as either Male or Female. So in order to regain the wholeness of our being, we must not be afraid of what society will think of us if we express the energy opposite of that of our physical body.

What is the worst thing that can happen? People might call you “Gay”?! Who cares! This is Oklahoma; a guy is a queer if he speaks articulately and a girl is a lesbo is she gets a short haircut.

People are starving for ways to categorize and judge others in an effort to justify their own idea of what is masculine and feminine. Let them! Embrace your whole being, both the Masculine and the Feminine. Embracing these energies will help you develop your true psyche. You’re on your way to enlightenment!
