In society today there is generally a strict line between masculine and feminine. In some languages, like French, there are different pronouns and everything is one or the other. Is this what the Law of Gender is about?

Absolutely not. To a large extent, the world is still controlled by masculinity. But the Law of Gender shows that everything has the potential to express both masculine and feminine qualities. In order to master this law in our life we have to find a balance between the two.

Of course, in sexual reproduction is an act involving both masculine and feminine roles and what results is fertilisation and new life between the two. In plants, this happens when the masculine pollen at the tip of the plant fuses with the ovum (yes, plants have an ovary), usually located at the bulbous area above the stems. But without male and female parts working in balance, there would be no reproduction.

This entire Universe was brought about by the sudden release of energy known as the Big Bang. But scientists now realise that prior to the Big Bang, the universe underwent a breathtaking cosmic expansion, doubling in size at least 80 times in a fraction of a second. This rapid inflation, fueled by a mysterious form of energy that permeated empty space itself, left the universe desolate and cold. The release and conversion of energy into matter could only happen once the empty space was there to fill.

So, in the Law of Gender, the energy release was like a masculine act, but the empty space created prior was like a feminine womb waiting to be filled. In this empty space, what formed was the result of this masculine/ feminine partnership. All matter created was the result of this combination. Hence, all of us are the result of both masculine and feminine energy.

We are in our own micro universe. What happens within our universe is largely down to us. We all have individual accountability, and by striving to balance masculine and feminine, our lives will be enriched. This is about breaking down internal barriers and conditioning. It does not matter how masculine or feminine you are, but how balanced you are is important.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t okay to be masculine or feminine or identify as such. Neither should we attack or stigmatise those who feel they are genetically different to how they identify (the trans community). It is, however, about appreciation and balance. It is not masculine to treat females as inferior or vice versa.

We are all different, and we should not be ashamed of who we are. Neither should we be ashamed of embracing both the masculine and feminine sides of our own individuality. Let’s not polarise Gender, but embrace it as 2 sides of the same coin and realise we are all products of masculine and feminine energies.
