Where Do You Find Equal Rights?
Question: Is there a difference in the men’s and the women’s path in the wisdom of Kabbalah?
Answer: In our world there is a big difference between men and women in the way of thinking, in the approach to life, in the comprehension of reality, and in decision making. We are truly very different. The difference is not just in sexual characteristics. These are two worlds: the male half and the female half of nature. Indeed, in the still, vegetative, and animate nature there is a division into male and female parts, and the differences in the human are even greater.
But when we begin to search for the Creator, then on the physical level, the gender differences regarding our physical properties apply in a group and in connection within a group; whereas, in the spiritual world this is not so. Women who approach the Creator have the same opportunity as men, especially in our time.
I believe that the wisdom of Kabbalah is the only area of human activity where the woman is equal to the man. This is an interesting paradox. There are absolutely equal rights.
In no other physical involvement can you be equal to men: in some things you are better and in some things they are better. Give me the name of a famous painter, famous musician, famous conductor, or chef. Mention the name of at least one woman, there aren’t any!
In our world there is a clear distinction in certain male and female abilities because we are separated. And in the spiritual world, where all of us are going towards connection together, and our spiritual component is what is created as a result of the unification, then there is no difference, rather only wholeness. Therefore, in the spiritual world there is no male or female soul, female or male group. Everything is mixed into one complete unit.
We are gradually reaching this. This is not a simple way, for we are still expected to do a lot. But in the end of the matter, by discovering the Creator in our common unity, we will see that there is no difference between the male and female forces; all of our efforts become shared.
Now we are still in the preliminary stage of the development of our soul. And it is one for all. None of us has a soul of our own. This is that singular organ, singular Kli, in which the Creator is revealed, “Malchut of the world of Infinity, one singular desire!

This is simply untrue in this day and age, unless we are speaking of physical prowess. A simple Google search will refute this claim. Our world is a world traditionally dominated by the male force. The female force, may be the receiving force, however, it is hardly passive. Correctly understood and applied, it is certainly as strong as the male force and supports, nurtures, protects, and holds everything together. The principle problem is that the female force, only in humans of course, has always been suppressed, devalued, and forced to project male force values to succeed. Imagine what this world would look like if both men, and especially if women, respected and protected the” true essence” of the female force bringing everything into balance. The corrected common “soul” must be a balance of these two forces in perfect complementary harmony regardless of the outer material shouldn’t it?. Isn’t it also true that these two forces exist in each fragment of the shattered soul and that part of the work is to find the balance? In this world, it would appear, that this is a much harder task for the male bodies. I suppose my question would be why is this so? Why are the female bodies so willing to adapt male traits while sacrificing their own essence, and the male bodies so unwilling to accept and value the female essence that is absolutely mandatory for this world to continue.
The above post is testament to the dangers of feminism. The ego in these women will not even accept the word of ascended teachers if it goes against the feminist dogma that has been drilled into them.
