Greetings,

Recently you may have noticed that all the repeat posters here now are men, except for Juditha and I (and some people aren't too sure about me.  ) Here's one of the questions that has come to my mind as a result----

In your thoughts, readings, and experiences, have you found any concepts about the Afterlife, or even out of body exploration while on Earth, that are still gender-specific?
That show conditions or expectations that vary based on whether a soul has recently been male or female? 
Let's say just situations that could fit within your current belief system, maybe not the 66-virgins-awaiting-in-Paradise concept. 

Bets

OK Bets, the guys have been analyzing your gender in PMs.  Is it Gus Betson or is Betson a form of Betty or Betsy?  Speculation and gender-analysis of your posts has been thoroughly mined for clues.  I seem to recall your allusion to a husband once, but hey, we have gay marriage now.  But I've been lobbying for the female identification myself.  

For me, the most interesting example is an apparition of Jesus as a woman to a female orthodox prophet in the 2nd century church.  The Gospel of Matthew identifies Jesus as Wisdom personified.  In Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek the word for "Wisdom" is feminine.  So if this Christian woman were meditating on Jesus as Wisdom personified, why could'n't Jesus appear to her as a woman?  After all, prior to His incarnation, Jesus was not human at all; Jesus was "the Word" or literally the rational self-expression of God.  Of course, the woman's vision raises the question of whether Jesus appears to people of other cultures or religions as a woman.  Or what about bright unknown female apparitions in NDEs?

I'm a female person too!  I don't post every day, but I'm around a fair bit.

hi
sorry for my limitations......

I do not know if gender is important in the afterlife ...........when there is no fuction for that (reproduction). Sexual Atraction and arousal have been "designed" for reproduction. why this separation with sexs?

Biologically speaking  in the womb initially we do not have gender but we are one with our mother who at the same time has no interest in having sex. The fuction of reproduction has been achieved.

Helpers , angels and other celestial entities  what kind of sex have ? and what is their sexual fuction?do they reproduce. How an angel is created?

for me is the same type of question ,what is the function of both hands  or ears in God? Do God need hands and feet? (looking for functionality)

please, help!

Betson,

Certainly, I do not have any NDE and OBE experience. This is my first limitation. Perhaps I am anchored in a very earthy biological perception and I cannot see other dimensions but I am open to listen. I am a blind man in this forum . I have to confess that I would love to have an OBE / NDE.

My question is biologically related as the gender, the functionality of the sex, ears, feet. Creature evolve to different environment and develop with different functionalities.

I am trying to understand. Can someone go to focus 27 and ask why we kept the gender but we are not able to use it?

  I'm not sure exactly what you are asking Bet's?  If our physical based gender in this life, has some kind of influence or effect in our non physical awarenesses and experiences? 

  Don't know specifically.  But speaking generally, i believe the physical is a reflected, projected pattern of both individual and collective tendencies which first originated in Mind.   It seems like with us, with humans and our Souls re: distinct gender came about via imbalance spiritually, particularly in the collective sense. 

  So now we have two, somewhat distinct genders which reflect that inner imbalance.  Does this imbalance carry over into our nonphysical sojourns and experiences, i'm sure to some degree.   Sometimes we are too passive (female principle), when we should be more active (male principle) and other times we are too active, when we should be more passive, but both are always within us. 

  But you can't always go by the body image, i've met some females who were more consistently masculinely polarized and vice versa with some men who were more femininely polarized.   

  One of the common complaints about men that it seems many women have (one among the many  ) is that men often don't listen deep or well enough.    Classic example of this outer Yin-Yang imbalance/polarization thing.   Listening is a more receptive, passive, female principle.   

  Even our respective body parts (the ones that are different), give a clue to the nature of the difference in the expression and states, in an encoded manner.

  Astrology and one's chart is an interesting study in all this, because astrology is largely based on Yin and Yang concepts.  For example, we have 12 signs, 6 of which are said to be predominantly Yin in state, and 6 said to be predominantly Yang in expression.   But when you go deeper into it, you realize that each sign has its own relative degree of balance, and these tend to become more androgynous and balanced as the Zodiac nears the Zenith, or fastest vibrating point which is the Pisces Aquarius cusp area.   Towards the beginning of the Zodiac, Aries tends to be extremely Yang in and of itself, and Taurus extremely Yin in and of itself.   Some say Taurus is actually the true beginning point of the Zodiac and seeing how Source itself was first purely Feminine in nature, it makes me more open to that perspective.   

  Interestingly enough, even physically speaking, our Rising signs and factors connected to same, give clues to the character of the body we chose to incarnate in, both physical attributes and temperament.    For a quick example, i have a Fire Rising sign and not surprisingly, i chose to be born into a rather classically Celtic and rather masculine body, with a passionate temperament by nature.   Quick at times to anger, but also usually just as quick to forgive.   

  Anyways, i've noticed that when people have really late Aquarius Rising, or really early Pisces Rising in their chart, and the chart is accurate from a Soul birth perspective as well as the physical birth time (these don't always match up), then there is often a kind of noticeable and peculiar (when compared to the average) androgynous quality to those people, either physically or character/temperament wise, and/or sometimes both. 

  There is a lot more to it than that, and just the Rising sign, but anyways there is a lot of Yin-Yang type stuff encoded in astrology.   

  My precept is that Source is perfectly balanced and merged between these, and those who are in full resonance to same, that which we could call the Creative forces, are likewise always perfectly balanced between same.   

  Not surprisingly then, there are accounts here and there of more master type guides sometimes taking on a more feminine or male image at different times depending on what the situation calls for.   For example, if it calls for more for sympathy, softness, nurturing, or calling for more relatedness on part of the one being communicated too then a more female image may be projected.   If it calls for more blunt honesty and directness, more for "tough love", or for for trying to impart the attributes of say for example, strength of independence, then a more male image might be projected and used.

  Dunno, probably didn't answer your question very well.   It's hard to say, because individually the balance/imbalance seems to be in a rather constant state of flux though there are definite patterns and tendencies at the same time.
