Principles, masculine and feminine - principles of creation

04/30/2010

The whole of the created universe, every manifestation of life and of nature, is the work of the two principles, the masculine and the feminine. And these two principles are a reflection, a repetition of the two divine creative principles: the heavenly Father and the divine Mother. In fact, even the heavenly Father and the divine Mother are not God himself: they are to be understood as two poles of the one principle, the Absolute, the Non-manifest, which the Cabbalah calls Aïn Soph Aur, 'light without limit'. It is said that human beings were created in the image of God, that is, in the image of these two principles: each person therefore possesses a masculine and a feminine part. Depending on whether it's a man or a woman, one part is visible and the other hidden, but the one we don't see is still present. Every woman is a woman in her physical body but has the masculine principle within her. And similarly, every man is a man in his physical body but has the feminine principle within him. If you know this law of polarity, and if you know how to use the two principles - the masculine and the feminine, the emissive and the receptive, the positive and the negative - you can solve all of life's problems.
