I would encourage every mom and dad, to read the books of
American neuropsychiatric Louann Brizendine her scholarship on the subject of “the
female brain” and the “male Brain” is outstanding. Actually everyone should
read these books … they discuss in great detail how the male and female brain
differs and how it will affect the behavior of each … Most helpful with child
rearing … when you have that moment of “why did my kid just do that”… it will
help you understand what thought processes your child may have at any given age
…
I am going to put on my “alleged mystic hat on”… when you
speak to members of the church (and they are trying to evaluate you as to what
is going on with you) … they are not just looking for religion, they are also looking
for normal (question who is really normal) they also try to seek out your intellectual
capacities … your theology … your philosophy … they probe you on deep levels …
most of the time they will let you bounce question their way and not be
offended (well the really good spiritual directors will ) …
Such as this question I once asked of a priest … God
is pure power and energy right … Father answers yes … I ask... …in the clergy
and the hierarchy there is only “one type of energy male correct”… Father
ponders and says … explain your question to me … I answer … the hierarchy is exclusive
to men and hence the thinking of the male brain (male energy), do you not think
that God who is pure energy has both “male and female energy within himself” …
Father Answers yes... God is both male and female (energy) … I ask so why is it
… only the “energy of the male side of God is allowed in the thinking and
structure of the church on earth” … wouldn’t that be a church that does not have
balance by its own design … and God is “balanced by his nature of justice” …
I went on to ask … isn’t this why Eve was
created for Adam (balance) someone who would add to his existence and add to
his thought process? Be a partner that would give him another “angle” on any
given subject … Maybe even argue a subject matter with him, for it is not in
this fashion we learn to grow and compromise … And maybe this is the reason
Jesus Christ picked married men to be his first apostles ... I have learned you can talk about most things with a priest ... but bring up the subject of married priests and they for the most part shut you down
