- The Spiritual Meaning of Sex and Marriage (Divine Marriage - Part I) -

*Inner Doorway to the Kingdom:

• Divine Pattern of Marriage, overcoming division (within self and man’s division with God)

• The paradox of the relationship between men and women (opposites drawn together, yet remaining separate when they fail to understand the essence of Marriage). Subjugation is necessary and relative – dependent upon the area of dominance (strength) in a man or woman
• Research on the nature and depth of the female mind – the untapped potential of women (effects of our politically correct culture)
• Radical feminism and misogynistic thought – both limit and suppress the abilities and potential of the people they champion

*Equal Does Not Mean the Same:

• If women desire to live and think like men they will squander away their greatest strengths and abilities only to achieve surrogate masculinity
• The variety and flavors of feminism, and the confusion of men (how these things are viewed from both sexes)
• The anti-woman position of various religions (Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, etc.). By placing women at a level of lesser importance, Martin Luther laid the foundation for the spiritual darkness that consumed the church
• One perspective, without the other cannot be complete (Linear-mathematical perception – complimented by the cyclic-magnetic-intuitive). The foundation of our scholarly pursuits are partial and incomplete because they lack the feminine perspective
• Because men do not understand female perception, they define what is “important” from a linear perspective – how has this male dominated society affected women and young girls?
• One perception is not higher or greater than the other – the Oneness of the male and female is necessary to enter the Kingdom. Higher vision must be conceived through Oneness of the two, consciously nurtured, developed, and matured.
• Women rightly feel restrained by the male-dominated world because they are unable to express what they intuitively sense. Filling the void – the desire for greater depth and substance
• Why does no one want a solution?

*Woman is More than She Physically Appears:

• The potential and depth of the developed female mind (Clement and Sibyl, the prophetess). Embracing the fullness of femininity – young girls are alienated from their gifts and abilities when they are programmed to think and respond like males
• Multi-dimensional nature of the sexual relationship (beyond procreation)
• The Eastern traditions that negate the world (constant meditation) in attempt to reach the Source and the indigenous religions that explore the depths of physical pleasure – why are both paths unable to bring about Oneness? The way of the Hebrews – the Divine Pattern.
• The Child of Truth can only be born from the direct interaction between the male and female forces of Creation. The absolute need to overcome division. Father-Mother God and the Third-Force (Son). The division of Adam/Eve

• Living Truth to the fullest of our ability. Perceiving higher reality through consciousness of the Pattern and the Laws that we are immersed in
• God can be revealed and understood through Creation (Rom. 1:19-20). “Know Thyself” – one must only understand the Pattern to contemplate the Whole. Why don’t all men know Truth?
• The symbolism of Adam and Eve – (the two began as one, with the two are the three – within the three is the one). Male - active/dynamic/moving – Female - magnetic/reflective/passive. The Third-Force that merges the two into One (point where the two interact). Man’s vision of duality
• Embracing the forces of Creation and consciously taking part in the Pattern (moving with the cycles/observing the natural cycles)
• Higher Truth is conceived, born, nourished, and developed in a separate area of mind (Third-Force it is not simply the balance or combination of the two)
• The feminine nature of this world in relation to Spirit (the Womb of Mother God).
• The sacred Power of the Active Force of Creation that few men are able to comprehend – the Power of women, necessary for the perfection and salvation of men. The male creates and the female grows what he creates and gives birth to the product of the Union. Applying the physical pattern of childbirth to male-female interaction
• Not all women can be a wife in the Spiritual reality of Marriage. Only Genuine Marriage is ordained by God and only within a True Marriage does the cycle of energy-exchange occur
• Sacred vital sexual energies – sex serves a higher purpose than biological function. The power and gift of Sex is Divine (we are made in the “image of God”), yet few people understand the Sacredness of the sexual relationship
• Why women, especially wives, must dress modestly. Bleeding off energy into nature. Bonding (physical, mental, spiritual), the proper mindset, and seeking higher truth

*The Secret of Creation is Found within the Pattern of Marriage:

• Division overcome and the Pattern of Creation
