It’s Not As Simple As: Masculine Active, Feminine Passive 

It's simple = masculine It's not that simple = feminine

The first 40s just blew my mind when I realized the question is saying identity comes from the father. At a time when that missing identity issues are prevalent

I wonder if one can say that this fragment from Chesterton's "Orthodoxy" talks about the importance of the Feminine (of course without mentioning the Feminine explicitly): "Mysticism keeps men sane. As long as you have mystery you have health; when you destroy mystery you create morbidity. The ordinary man has always been sane because the ordinary man has always been a mystic. He has permitted the twilight. He has always had one foot in earth and the other in fairyland. He has always left himself free to doubt his gods; but (unlike the agnostic of to-day) free also to believe in them. He has always cared more for truth than for consistency. If he saw two truths that seemed to contradict each other, he would take the two truths and the contradiction along with them. His spiritual sight is stereoscopic, like his physical sight: he sees two different pictures at once and yet sees all the better for that. Thus he has always believed that there was such a thing as fate, but such a thing as free will also. Thus he believed that children were indeed the kingdom of heaven, but nevertheless ought to be obedient to the kingdom of earth. He admired youth because it was young and age because it was not. It is exactly this balance of apparent contradictions that has been the whole buoyancy of the healthy man. The whole secret of mysticism is this: that man can understand everything by the help of what he does not understand. The morbid logician seeks to make everything lucid, and succeeds in making everything mysterious. The mystic allows one thing to be mysterious, and everything else becomes lucid. The determinist makes the theory of causation quite clear, and then finds that he cannot say "if you please" to the housemaid. The Christian permits free will to remain a sacred mystery; but because of this his relations with the housemaid become of a sparkling and crystal clearness. He puts the seed of dogma in a central darkness; but it branches forth in all directions with abounding natural health. As we have taken the circle as the symbol of reason and madness, we may very well take the cross as the symbol at once of mystery and of health. Buddhism is centripetal, but Christianity is centrifugal: it breaks out. For the circle is perfect and infinite in its nature; but it is fixed for ever in its size; it can never be larger or smaller. But the cross, though it has at its heart a collision and a contradiction, can extend its four arms for ever without altering its shape. Because it has a paradox in its centre it can grow without changing. The circle returns upon itself and is bound. The cross opens its arms to the four winds; it is a signpost for free travellers."

Ah I appreciate how deep Pageau can get into the weeds with his audience in only 6 minutes and still make a succint point. This one was definitely for those who know their symbolic language.

You balance the two and you end up with a balanced human being. The yin/ yang symbol is a perfect representation of how both exist within one another. The book the Tao te Ching talks about this balance in nature. Within the Tao is the perfect order of masculine and female energy.

This is super helpful for thinking through gender. Thank you!

Thanks!

So that's why in the Bible Adam names the animals, but Eve names the children.

There’s also the notion of the masculine as the informing principle which can be seen in instances of grammatical gender. In Spanish, the default is masculine (i.e. niño) and the feminine is derived from that. A group of people or objects (i.e. chicos) receives its identity and being from the masculine. This gives a new meaning to Christ being the head of the man who is the head of the woman

That’s good

It's simple = masculine It's not that simple = feminine It's as shrimple as that = shrigma

Jonathan, do you see in numbers 5: the test for adultry, being a way to show something like how Mary can be cleansed of the Curse allowing her to bear the God Child?

The seed comes from the father. The man fertilises the egg produced by the mother. When you plant a seed in the soil, the tree is a product of the seed, not the soil.

i'm leaving a comment so the new god (algorythm) reminds me of this later

uhh

@4:45 we dont call christ father?

Yin and yang

Errrr

“Mary becomes the mother of all of us” Hell no. The Holy Spirit is enough 🙏
