Exchanges between men and women - should be inspired by exchanges we make with the sun

08/23/2018

Man (the masculine principle) and woman (the feminine principle) represent two poles and these two poles are creative because they make exchanges. These exchanges may take place in the physical plane, but they can also be made in the more subtle planes through speech, thought or with the eyes, and they are just as vital as those made with food and drink when eating and with air when breathing. If men and women were taught the art of making exchanges, they would always be happy and totally fulfilled. But since most lack this art, they become poisoned, or they die of hunger and thirst, or they suffocate. You might ask, ‘So how should we go about making such exchanges?’ Well, just as we do with the sun. The sun is far away, high up in the sky, and the exchanges we make with it take place in the subtle etheric plane, with its heat and its light. If you went up there and embraced the sun, you would be burnt, so you must embrace it with your gaze, through thought and feeling. And if humans could also be content with simply embracing each other from afar, their love would become poetic and vitalizing.
