When the mind took over and humans lost touch with the reality of their divine essence, they started to think of god as a male figure. Society became male dominated, and the female was made subordinate to the male.
I am not suggesting a return to earlier female representations of the divine. Some people now use the term Goddess instead of God. They are redressing a balance between male and female that was lost a long time ago, and that is good. But it is still a representation and a concept, perhaps temporarily useful, but more of a hindrance than a help when you are ready to realize the reality beyond all concepts and images.
What does remain true , however, is that the energy frequency of the mind appears to be essentially male.
The mind resists,fights for control,uses, manipulates, attacks, tries to grasp and possess and so on. This is why the traditional God is a patriarchal controlling authority figure, an often angry man who you should live in fear of, as the Old Testament suggests. This God is a projection of the human mind.
To go beyond the mind and reconnect with the deeper reality of Being very different qualities are needed: surrender, non-judgment, an openness that allows life to be instead of resisting it, the capacity to hold all things in the loving embrace of your knowing. All these qualities are much more closely related to the female principle. Whereas mind-energy is hard and rigid, Being-energy is soft and yielding and yet infinitely more powerful than mind. The mind runs our civilization, whereas Being is in charge of all life on our planet and beyond. Being is the very intelligence whose visible manifestation is the physical universe. Although women are potentially close to it, men can also access it within themselves.
