The "Sacred" Character of Gender
When female and male come together as separate individuals, or when the two energies find balance within any one individual, we always find goodness and greatness and creativity in spades! Male and female are most distinct and distant, or “unsacred,” only at their most immature level. At their most mature level, male and female energies are friends, companions, and partners—to one another—and thus they are perhaps the quickest path to both wholeness and holiness. Gender is indeed sacred and lays the very path and energy by which we come to God.
