Re: Random thoughts on Gender...

I never really imagined what Adam would have been like before the emergence of Female.  That's an inneresting image.  It couldn't have been the typical male physique.  I'm sure of it.  It had to have been more generic.

I think I'm understanding what you're getting at here.  The kind of dynamic that splitting creates is fundamentally important.  Even if one believes in evolution as opposed to Creation, there still had to have been a point where the split between genders happened.  And it must have changed everything.  It would necessarily create a third entity - aside from offspring.  The entity of “Us”.  Relationship.  Reciprocity and mutuality.  Vital interdependence which can range from torment to rapture.  These things would never have even arisen, much less measured the quality of our character had gender not emerged.  We need the “Other” in order to transcend ourselves. 

Crowley's stuff interests me alot.  I love the “do what thou wilt…” stuff.  Especially in the context of “love under will”.  It was a huge course correction from the stagnant murk of empty commitments and sterile contracts. 

Thank you, firemusic. 

I'll be back later to ponder more.
