Bent, you mention the word "analyze" a few times in the article (http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977296080) ... God is said to have been the original unity of ONE pre-creation ... at Alpha, that one fragmented into the creation that is our universe, containing the fullness of potentials between all (infinity and eternity) and nothing ... (this concept of mine is a panentheistic view) ...
We now find ourselves residing in a 5 sensory world of manifested physicality and objective materialism, "things" considered most real to the average person. Yet they/we have a need to understand and what better way we think than to "analyze" everything, to "break it down" into it's constituent "parts" to see what makes it tick ... that then considered "progress" because we "claim" to better understand that original and natural whole, at least what it consisted of, even though we more than likely destroyed it forever in the analysis of it ...
But never mind, we then take the various "parts" and recombine them in unique and different ways and mixtures "creating" new "products" (which are often patented and sold for profit), (that turned into a materialistic business as usual by now).
Between Alpha (our creation) and Omega (our reunification with God), we will eventually need to make a "turn", a change in "direction", a course correction, IF we expect our "goals" to be met ... we will have to at some point forgo analysis for synthesis, the breaking apart, to the putting together, everything back into a unification with the realization of the inherent connectivity of everything on the spiritual level ...
If we do not do that, we will not enjoy Omega, rather we will experience absolute polarization without the connectivity of Spirit, resulting in a conflict and eventual destruction of all ... or just some mix in between those, maybe similar to what we call reality right now ...
Of course I speak in metaphor here, mostly because it is more forgiving, such as the male of our species is the left brained dominate one of the species, the one most likely to break things apart (logic and rational analysis) to see how they work, the ones that enjoy physical strength (or even mental strength when it gives advantage in ego competition) for domination and control (fear "prevention" by "protection")(patriarchal "readiness")(father knows best), in sign and symbol, positive (+).
On the other hand, the right brained female, less logical but more emotional (compassionate with feelings not rejected and/or controlled)(more loving) but relegated by men as the opposite of men, thus negative in sign (-). (unfortunately some place "value" connotations on what is meant to be primarily "equals but opposites".
If we were to "value" those sexual "signs", as has been done in the religious sense of Adam and Eve, good and bad, we might well end up with the present "religious" concepts of patriarchy, woman, get behind your man, the caveman dragging the gal around by her hair.
So based upon the sexual differences, man is generally (if healthy of mind) attracted to woman (and vice versa) because they each compliment the other, based upon intuitive (spiritual 6th sense) factors ... which when perfected "creates" a loving family by the cooperative union of opposites (natural diversity) resulting in a synthesis producing a synergy (creation) of children.
Now "marriage" is the spiritual blessing of such a union, the bringing together the former duality of (+/-) into a trinity of (+=-) where the Spirit of God is the "=" sign, the unifier, the "bridge of love" that replaces the gap or void "/" of the former duality ...
There is an extremely important message in all of this ... right now in this very nation, and probably the whole world, there is an ever increasing polarization between the natural diversities, between the conservatives and the liberals, much like the (+)'s and the negatives (-)'s ... except in this case, unlike that mentioned earlier, there is little love and no spirit to bridge the gap and void which seems to be growing wider ... IF we are not careful, or do not recognise this mentioned truth of trinity VS duality, we may we end up conflicting ourselves into destruction ... a theoretical Omega of nothing.
As a male brought up typically as such, with John Wayne as my role model, it was not until after my spontaneous spiritual awakening 14 years ago, that I came to realize the wisdom of the Trinity over the ignorance of duality and how we need the interaction of our common Spirit of God to realize the fullness of our potentials ... it was only then that I came to experience the fullness of the heretofore missing "female nature" which was "love and compassion" ... that which complimented my "maleness," finally making me a "whole" (and thus "perfected") human being.
I realize this was a bit long, but I really think it a bit related to the gist of the article ... I think that Jung would agree anyway. :-) Jerry Kays, Mar 29, 2008, 4:59am EDT
