Is your spirit male or female?

[zupidupi]

I've been battling with this dillema for some time. I'm physically a woman (and confortable in my body and sex gender) and have the spiritual qualities of a woman but also the qualities of a man. It's like having a man side of me. (I'm not a lesbian).
Sometimes I feel like I'm a man, sometimes I feel like I'm a woman.
It's not a sexual orientation thing, it's more like a spiritual thing.
Does anyone feel the same as I do?

Is it supposed to feel like this, when we are in touch with our feminine and masculine sides?

I've read that one's spirit is feminine or masculine polarized. So how can I be both?

Maybe my spirit is feminine but my soul has both sides.

How do you feel inside?

I definitely feel both as well. I can remember having people from my extended family judge me based on what they perceived as feminine aspects of myself. One of the big things was that I don't like sports, ironically my father is the director of a youth soccer club and all my brothers (older and younger) played. From the time I could walk until I was 16 I was forced or guilted into playing. It was great and it sucked at the same time, I learned a lot and have some fond memories, but also a lot of challenges that I have been and still am working on. And it was really never what I wanted to be doing. It did however give me something to hide my lack of interest in sports behind.

But not only that, I just know, I can't articulate it right now, but I just know I am both. Saying I am one or the other doesn't feel right.


Justin (Sorry I got off track kinda, just go with me )

Oh and I think everyone is both too, but people can be whatever they like

great question never really gave it much thought before....

If I was to just come up with an answer I'd tend to say that I think spirit is absent of gender... as the cherabiums and seraphiums are. just neutral beings. I think gender is reserved for our earthly physical form here as humans not spirits.

So ....spirit... male or female?

I say neither. ( or maybe both and all at once)

feminine, but can be very strong - physically too if i need be.

Since I read the term that Hopis used for people like me -"two spirited individual"- I loved it! I truly beleive that even though up until my 12th birthday my feminine side mastered my being (although I am a "boy"), after my awakening journey started then, I tried to balance the two aspects of being. Now, at my 22nd year of living in this dimension, I beleive that I have totally mastered it. I think that is why I don't have any tendencies to seek a sexual partner anymore. Now that I am female and male altogether, only a possible twin flame will make me say "wow".

I'm not entirely certain if the spirit HAS masculine and feminine sides. IMO spirit is beyond gender. If you will, call my philosophy a derivitive of the "As Above So Below" concept, in that I see it necessary for the physical manifestation of the body/person to come into balance with their masculine and feminine sides in order to reflect the true nature of the spirit.

I agree

[zupidupi]

Does anyone dream they are of the opposite gender?

Like being a woman and dreaming they are a man a have a woman lover and such.

Just wondering how common that is...

[illuminati]

in the as above as below Tao disposition would equate earthly gender association with that of cosmos... the later having no expression of gender...
this would follow that gender of the spirit goes without definition.

being the spirit is that of metaphysical expression..expression can not be calculated as gender

but whom am I to say such a thing....

[LadyElement]

it is my understanding that in our true being(soul) we hold both feminine and male aspects.

Well I think in the sense that it is both sides, it is also doesn't have any sides. Because both opposites are contained within a person, they are both and they are neither. Which I think you may have said, I am just kind of reiterating .

I don't know if this has been brought out yet (I didn't read the entire thread), but Carl Jung wrote a lot about the "anima" and the "animus." The "anima" is the female aspect of the personality and the "animus" is the male aspect. Jung suggested that all of us have a little of both aspects in our psyche, and that a healthy person will find a way to balance both.

[MzFuture]

Well I am physically female but I and alot of my friends and family believe that I have a male side of me. They say that I am like one of the guys.

At any given point we are all connected therefore sharing many characteristics of the soul. It means for a great package understanding all of the Wholes counterparts.

I believe that being male or female is just another label. Whether male or female we all have the same desire in which to express whomever we want to be aslong as we are being true to ourselves.

Ya but we're talking... Spirit not people.
