PT 1 🍆 Our fully expressed sexuality is our essentialness; it is the essence of who we truly are. Once we are free to express love freely then we are free to become ourselves—we are beings of love who have gotten caught up in fear and oppression. Love expands and opens and connects us to the world while hate, which is nothing more than justified fear, disconnects and traps us within the bondage of self. When feminine energy ruled the planet (look it up) there was freedom and love and expansiveness because the female body is the cradle in which sexuality is rocked—where it is nurtured, so that it may be expressed when it is fully developed and ready to fly into the expansive sky, out of the comfort of the nest. The feminine form is sexuality itself, which is to go within: to feel, to return to the state of floating in the warm embryonic fluid of our mother’s womb. While to be a man means to thrust oneself into the world: to be the expressive self. According to our current binary tropes, it would appear that woman (sexuality) seeks to delve into that deep darkness in which our soul hibernates and man (vitality) seeks to emerge from that darkness and to promote his conquests and hibernatural revelations with the world. Both of these are forms of connection, but while one seeks to embrace the darkness, the other runs from it and only finds solace in the light. Man, it seems, can only exist in the seen: in what he understands. This is why he fears woman. She has eyes like a cat that glow bright and make her at home in dark, deep spaces. The spaces where our soul slumbers. It is ridiculous that we ever defined these two energies, which are like the sun and moon—opposites in need of one another to have purpose—as “male” and “female”. As if these energies were actually biologically attached to the genitalia of a human mammal. Gender is political, not natural. What unnatural laws we have broken in telling people who they are. How badly have we offended our creator in building cages and calling it conformity? But we (man) didn’t stop at simply one offense... #photographyandphilosophy #philosophersofinstagram #binary #gender #sexuality #male #female #man #woman #art https://www.instagram.com/p/BuSL_79F-GE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s7l6046v3pxr
