Transgender: A Spiritual Approach

PART 1

Spiritually speaking all human beings (or spirit beings), are androgynous. That is, the being comprises a feminine component and a masculine component. Our society misguidedly attributes masculinity to man and femininity to woman. However, while the words 'man' and 'woman' describes the anatomy or the physical form that houses the being; male or masculinity and female or femininity  describes the evolutionary stages of the human consciousness. 

In the book entitled 'The Revelation of the Eternal Realm', three states of the human consciousness have been detailed; these are the simple, the self and the cosmic or Christ consciousness. The first state (the simple or beastly consciousness) like the other two states of consciousnesses, exists in varying degrees. The simple consciousness demonstrates very little thought,  reflection, consideration or reason; and is sometimes described as 'animalistic'.  While this state is mostly noted in animals, we can also recognize it in spirit beings that have recently entered the upright form, (the form we loosely refer to as human). The reason for this is that the three states may be said to be held apart by zones of instability. Therefore, as the spirit being exits the simple consciousness and makes his way towards the self consciousness, the being becomes extremely unstable and much swaying may be noted as the consciousness fluctuates between being simple sometimes then acting as self at other times.  This instability is also demonstrated as the consciousness moves away from being self oriented and heads towards becoming cosmic. 

The second state, which is the self consciousness, is also called the emotional mind because it is highly expressive. It expresses the being's joys, sorrows, fears, approvals etc.; and is also our driving force or motivation. Since this consciousness motivates us, it is that aspect of us that makes us productive. By it many great ideas are born into reality - another reason why it is called feminine.  The self consciousness allows us to give birth. 

But this state of consciousness loves to know that it is desirable, loves to be praised and easily sways.Spirit beings exhibiting this level of consciousness tend to 'think with their emotion' and is attracted to what feels good, taste good and looks good.

We will look at the final state of the consciousness in my next blog.
