Kumu Obi: Shiva is not, and does not represent male energy. Where do you get such nonsense from?
Shiva is consciousness, cosmic consciousness, omnipresent.
I have said so many times: energy is energy. There is no positive energy, negative energy, higher or lower, male or female. Those are nebulosities, illiterate and ignorant. There is no male energy, there is no female energy. Energy is energy.
Yes, we live in a bipolar world, a world of plus and minus, male and female, but that is the lowest level of manifestation of creation. Cosmic consciousness is not polarized. Cosmic intelligences have no genders. Consciousness is consciousness. And human females, women, are conscious beings.
All that exists is some intelligence and contains some amount of energy. Otherwise it wouldn't be, it wouldn't exist. Therefore, everything that exists is alive and conscious. Everything that exists participates in the whole, in the Everything, Oneness. And now, what form is consciousness and intelligence of, what is its nature, that is another question. Well, even you, as a human, are not excluded from the whole, you are not separated and you are not at all just what you think you are.
And stop personalizing everything. Some ideas are just ideas, they are not even alive, let alone persons. States, concepts, institutions, sports clubs... are not living beings, nor are they persons, no matter how much you pretend they are and develop 'emotional relationships' with them.
The intellectual mind is very limited and can only operate with terms it knows. Life, the phenomenon of existence is much larger, much more complex, unlimited and unfathomable to the human rational mind.
Everything cannot be explained or classified.
And every time you dissect, take apart, sort, group, arrange in tables, simplify... you draw conclusions, create beliefs that are very limiting.
Ideas form the ego, the ego only tries to maintain itself, so it rejects everything that can threaten it. This is precisely what is limiting. The more you think you know, the more firmly you believe, the more confident you are in your knowledge - the more limited you are. You are depriving yourself of the opportunity for experience. Because direct experience can destroy the rational structure of the ego.
Spirituality is above intellectualization. Just as consciousness is above the intellectual mind.
But you learn about it from YouTube or self-proclaimed experts, and some manipulators. Who am I to say anything? Who even is the supreme Hindu guru to know better? Your current 'tantra' teacher for the upcoming weekend workshop, or rather: party, surely knows best, right?
