"The Gnostics teach that the body is of the earth, therefore it is of the Mother aspect of God. The mind, intellect, and spirit is of the Father, and throughout life we must find a way to balance these two opposing forces. Sexuality is something to be accepted and sacralized. A healthy, living body gives way to a healthy and dynamic mind. The two must join in union—operating in equality." -This is what I've always found missing in Christianity and western spirituality. I'm so glad to have found this perspective hidden in the gnostic manuscripts. I find this cosmic balance in Mayan Cosmology. It's alleviating to find it here too, another ancestral science. Appreciating you ❤️🙏
Thank you! I have felt the same way, there's always been something missing in the traditional Judeo-Christian perception of God. By diminishing the Feminine principal of God we've cut ourselves away from the source of creation, from the cosmic mother that grounds and replenishes the over active mind. So many people want to escape their lives and their bodies, to "ascend" into higher spiritual planes. They don't realize the only way to do so is to ground back into the body, to consciously further the process of incarnation. The mind can only go so far on its own.
I know virtually nothing on Indigenous American mythology and cosmology, I'm excited to check out your blog and learn about it! I love finding the underlying archetypal threads in the worlds religions.
