Episode 07: Divine Masculine & Feminine
In Episode 7, Dr. Persaud discusses the concepts of the divine masculine and divine feminine. These ideas from the Dharma traditions have been misconstrued through a conservative, Western religious lens, often reflecting duality and traditional gender roles. Dr. Persaud discusses what masculine and feminine energies really are in Eastern philosophies, how these energies can be balanced within a person, the emotional prerequisites to seeking the spiritual partner, unevolved versus evolved masculine and feminine people, how sex can be spiritual, and the concept of spiritual initiation through one’s partnership.
