The principle of gender: female vs male paradigms
DUALISMARCHIVE NOTES
10/16/20261 min read
One of the seven hermetic principles that are said to govern the universe is that in relation to the principle of gender. Though as a disclaimer I would argue these principles can be condensed into a more simplified input/output model, with the foundational harmonics grounded in love (order, coherence). Nonetheless, this principle of duality across genders can often be observed both literally and figuratively.
The female paradigm tends to offer more transparency to their environment - porous. The most obvious example of this is your standard female connector types (in consideration of “non-living” mating) and the reproductive organs (“living” mating). However this is often observed behaviorally as well, in association with the ego. It can be described as a recognition of the unity across the perceived forms (between one person and the next for example) with the balancing irony being the efforts of unification are often exercised through activities which are egocentric - say, materialism (matching clothes), sharing information to reduce uncertainty (“where’s the bathroom?”) instead of recognizing such knowing resides within the self prior to vocal engagement. The reflection of one another is recognized subconsciously though there is a failure of expression of that wholeness as a single unit.
On the other hand, the male paradigm tends to project a strong “I”. This is again consistent with your male connector types and reproductive organs. The behavior of the male gender often posing a more dominant character. A sense of independence and self-sufficiency, which can be easily conflated as a separated self, skewed by ego. This is unless consideration of an expanded self boundary - unveiling the reflection across a unified whole recognized as God while maintaining humble, servant-like character with confident certainty.
Of course these observations are largely variable, and cannot be used to represent a population at large. The point being these dualistic, balancing patterns are evident and knocking at our awareness across all occasions.
