Part II: Along the lines of "Men DO, Women ARE" - The spiritual differences between male / female.

When Gd created the world, He did so by removing His infinite light from an aspect of His universality. This void (empty space) became the platform for physicality within infinity.

It wasn't a total void, however, as some light (G-dliness) is necessary to create. Hence, there became two sources:

1) A residual light from His initial presence which wasn't completely removed
2) A new light - a line beamed into the void, which became the source of creation.

Creation ensued primarily through the second, new light -- Gd's creative force. First, it created the higher spiritual worlds such as heaven, angels and spirits. Then it moved on to create lower physical worlds, including ours, with all human & animal creations -- the final step.

But this was not enough, because creation is not the only purpose.

Joining the lowest physical and highest spiritual worlds, and even Gd Himself into ONE -- in a revealed manner, is the purpose.

Hence, we need the first, residual light to come into play.

The two sources of light must join. The new light -- the line -- creates the world, but is ultimately connected to Gd on the highest level by revealing the hidden light -- the residual light (which is part of Gd himself) in the world.

This is done by the new light - Gds creative energy - pulling back the cover of the dark physical world, to reveal the underlying higher hidden G-dly light (residual) ALREADY in creation.

As you have probably figured out, the line - the creative new light -- is represented in creation by masculinity. It is our source, our job, our purpose - to DO. This is our very essence, our nature. We discover (reveal), build and create and provide, protect, hunt and fix.

The residual light - this is the divine feminine. She IS, she exists before the new light, she is from a higher source of G-dliness, as her essence is from the original G-dly emanation throughout infinity. Her worth is not dependent on what she does -- she has inherent value.

Women reflect their source - they do the most humanly Gdly action possible - create life. They cultivate rather than conquer, they nurture, they refine, the domesticate, they shop! And, they are naturally more spiritual then men, as their source is more closely related to Gd.

Of course, this is obviously reflected in our biology as well - no need to elaborate, but males have outward and women have inward parts. Men in general have stronger more aggressive sexual energy, and women tend to have more passive, receiving energy.

And our personality differences can clearly be understood - men tend to intellectualize, externalize and problem solve - our creative source. Women have a deeper, more emotional base, reflective of their deeper connection to the lower, yet highest levels of Gdliness.

In connection with criticism, it can be better understood. When men are critiqued, because of our more external Gdly source, we adjust, change course, shrug and continue on.

When women are criticized, it is a statement on her very internal G-dly essence, it is intolerable.

In courting, men go out to find that piece of Gd they are destined to elevate, to reveal in the world.

Women proclaim "pick me! see me! find me! protect me, reveal me, elevate me."

And ultimately, she ends up elevating him by allowing him to fulfill his Gdly purpose.

The union of man and woman, in relationship and intimacy, is the microcosm of the joining, revealing and connecting between these two sources of creation - the physical world, and the spiritual world, the line and existing light, Man & Gd.

And when these two lights fully connect and unify, it is not just the fulfillment of the entire creation, but also of G-d's ultimate desire - to live revealed within his creation in peace and harmony.

This is known as the ultimate revelation, "Kingdom of Gd", Messianic Era.

To those who have made it this far, thank you. There is a lot here, from psychology to sociology to physiology to theology to sex.

Understanding our spiritual source is the blueprint for understanding each other.

I hope you have an AWESOME Day & Gd Bless!

And this is why we so desperately need each other.

We are on the SAME team, commissioned with changing the world, elevating the world, together.

Struggling to connect with each other IS the point.

I cannot fulfill my part without you, & you cannot without me.

Let's do this!
