The Divine Feminine
Within the spiritual community, I often see the narrative that passion, anger and other strong emotions are considered to be low in vibration. As if by being passionate you make yourself spiritually weak and too attached to matter. There lingers this implied idea that people who achieve liberation within themselves are supposed to be calm no matter what happens in their external environment. To justify such an idea, those within the spiritual community often refer to Buddha’s teachings on the Four Noble Truths. According to Buddha, to be enlightened necessitates losing your earthly desires and most people interpret that as also losing your passions, although I am convinced that it is the masculinization of the idea of spiritual enlightenment rather than a full picture of what it means to be enlightened. After visiting ‘Feminine Power: the divine to the demonic’ exhibition at the British Museum, I wanted to challenge such a narrative of spiritual advancement and bring a little bit of nuance delving into the divide between the masculine and feminine energies.
