To Unite the Masculine and the Feminine (Part 1)

★Toward a World Where Men and Women Each Unite the Strengths of Both

For a person to live expressing their divinity means that the strengths of men and the strengths of women, regardless of whether one is a man or a woman, melt together into one and unite within each individual.

Most people lean toward one of the weaknesses of either the masculine or the feminine, right?

Even so, as men and women meet and interact within their various connections, along the way they sometimes try to dominate each other or look down on each other, feel inferior or get conceited. Yet, with the proviso “as long as they basically cooperate sincerely with each other as they live,” the strengths of men and women blend together over many long years, and in the latter half of life, both men and women come to express the harmonious form a human being should have.

That isn’t some rare tale that no one has ever reached; although there aren’t so very many, it’s a form of human beings on their way to completion that can be seen here and there throughout the world.

It goes without saying that the world can’t be made up of men alone, nor of women alone.

Men and women each exist because they are needed.

These days, there are people who, while men, are drawn toward being women, or who, while women, are drawn toward being men, and we think each of them has their own deep feelings about it. With that in mind, from the truth of life as we see it, there is important meaning in having been born a man and in having been born a woman, and there is deep learning in polishing and bringing out that life.

★The Meaning of Being Born Divided into Men and Women

The day when many people understand this is still a little way off, but from the viewpoint of the truth of life, being born a man or a woman corresponds to the very ground of life, which must not be taken lightly.

What do you think lies beyond a perception that takes heaven for earth and earth for heaven?

As long as you look at the world upside down, you can’t see the reason of things correctly, can you?

So if you were born a man, you must unite the inner masculine and feminine as a man, and if you were born a woman, you must, conversely, unite the inner masculine and feminine as a woman.

Everyone is born a man or a woman for a reason and because it is needed.

If you look at past lives, there are cases where a person born a man in this life was also a man in their previous life, and cases where they were a woman.

The same goes for women: in their previous lives they were women or men, and it varies from person to person.

From the very origin, the essence of a human being is neither male nor female, but a united being that holds both.

So from that viewpoint, there is nothing strange about a man choosing to be a woman or a woman choosing to be a man.

But as long as we live in a heaven and earth where not everyone has yet become a united being holding both, it’s good to keep in mind that the sex each person has been given also has important meaning.

As we said a moment ago, being born divided into men and women means that each person is born that way in order to fulfill their own sex, and that’s something that must not be taken lightly. (To be continued)
