GOD is definitely Female. GOD on Earth is Mother…
She is always for her kids, be the kids Good, Bad or Ugly, she loves then unconditionally, so does say the definition of GOD.
So GOD is definitely female and that Mother.

No man can tell you about God’s femine side,
without getting in touch with their femine side

No woman can tell you about God’s masculine sid,e
without getting in touch with their masculine side

God is male,
God is female
He is in between and beyond.

He is the great I AM that I AM.
He is whoever and whatever you want him to be!!

What is feminine?
I have a very crude answer (and sort of funny when I think a lot about it).

The sun is often referred to as a he, because of its constancy, it is the same shape and same brightness at the same times of the day. It is active, the source of light and energy. A Giver.

The moon is a she, because she changes with time. She could appear and dissappear in the day sky or night, her shape changes with the number of days in the month, and so does her brightness. We have full moon, half moon, crescent, and moonless nights, so many things affect her form and appearance. She is not a source in herself, she merely reflects what is thrown on her. She receives.

Males and females are states of being.
Each with a design of its own.

Perhaps God is claimed to be a He because of the same reason of being constant. The Omnipresent, Omnipotent, All Knower cannot be the one that changes form with time. He remains Everywhere and Anywhere and Above All because He is constant. He is the Source, and the Giver.

Não consigo imaginar Deus como um ser feminino ou masculino. Para mim Deus é a essência de toda forma de vida, a força divina que cria, renova e persiste incansavelmente.

Mr. Coelho
I do believe that god is what we describe to be male and female. It is difficult for many to accept this, of course. However, on an interesting note, the female or femininity of what we call god is placed in a very unique position. A position that is strongly tied to our way of communicating to each other, particularly our use of language and ideas. The female aspect is always on the “left” hand, side or whatever and the male aspect is alway on the “right” hand, side etc. Now tracing the words left and right in our languages we find different connotation and emotions tied to these two words. In Latin, for instance, left means sinister and the right means dexter (skillful. In Christianity (correct me if I am wrong) “the son” (Jesus) is on the right and “the holy spirit” (Sophia?) is on the left. This is all food for thought–please let me know what you think.
To end, the male and female dichotomy in god I think needs to become less obvious and polarized. The problem is patriarchal socialization and language usage in our human civilization. Who says that power is male or that endurance is female? So, once we remove such obstacle (a herculean task at that too) it will be easier for all to see that god is parent (not only a father or a mother).
I hope this make sense…

Every force has an equal, complimentary force. This can be illustrated by Taoist beliefs. whether we describe these forces as male and female, dark and light, Yin and Yang, it really makes no difference.
The feminine aspect of God is readily present, both overtly and subtly. In the Bible, God is described as a king, judge, fire, but also as mother, midwife, woman in labour, housewife,wisdom woman (Sophia), mother bird,compassionate womb.
There is much evidence of God having a feminine side, a consort, if you will, and She is ready to be acknowledged. We just have to start looking for Her.

Дорогой Паоло, простите если не правильно написала ваше имя. Я знаю, что не одна из сотен тысяч, кто пишет вам, к тому же не зная английского языка. Возможно вы даже никогда и не прочтете это, просто мне необходимо сказать вам спасибо за ваши книги, мне всего двадцать два, но для меня это не простые романы, прочитав “алхимика” я начала понимать свою жизнь. Будучи еще ребенком я понимала, что окружена знаками и следовала им, я поступала так, как подсказывало сердце, и чувствовала, что жизнь наполнена неким смыслом, неведомым другим. Прочитав книгу я удостоверилась, все то к чему я логически дошла, – все правильно. Спасибо вам, за то что наполняете жизни людей смыслом

Yo creo que todos los seres humanos somos uno con Dios, formamos parte de un Universo de la Energía Suprema que es Dios, en todo este universo existe lo masculino y lo femenino que forman parte de un perfecto equilibrio, por lo tanto tenemos una parte masculina representada por la fuerza, la fortaleza, etc y la parte femenina representada por el amor.
Dios nos cobija con amor, con sabiduría, con misericordia es su rostro femenino.

Siempre he pensando que Dios es mujer, porque hace muchas cosas a la vez, cosa que dificulta un poco al hombre, por ejemplo: la mujer puede tener un catarro, pero solo por eso no se detiene en hacer las demas cosas que tiene que hacer, como hacer comida, atender a los niños, coger el telefono, lavar, atender al marido, etc. Pero un hombre cuando tiene catarro no puede hacer mas nada que acostarse para dejar que pase!!!

As a kid and until now I always talked to theoon as a female part of god a mother. The opposite to the sun. Even being eased catolic in Brazil at a school called Sao Bento I never told this to anyone as a kid. I did not really shared it until my late 20′s
What is funny is that now that I am 38 I felt comfortable talking to my mother about it. She wrote a book called the sacred feminine. It’s not a novel but more like a study book about women in and religion in society through the ages. That made me realize it was ok to talk to her about it. After that I felt it was ok to talk to her about the fact I believe god has a female and male side energy.

Creo que tenemos un 50% de femenino y 50% masculino uniendo esos dos caracteres es que se forma un Dios de mil rostros… nadie sabe con exactitud.. si es hombre o mujer eso lo triste el nos gana con la incognita como es el… la mente nos dice es asi … es como un sol pero en la realidad solo el sabe como se nos manifiesta como un viejito, un servadillo o simplemente un arcoiris que nos dice aqui arriba ese el misterio como es un Dios.

My belief is that God at once transcends gender and is inclusive of both. I believe that Jesus came to us as God as human, in male form. The Buddha is a also a male figure. Hindus worship “Allah”, or father, and so on.

I believe that God sent these male ‘proxies’ of himself because the cultures existing at the time were male-dominated.

Sophia
The feminine face of god- the trinity is Father Son and Holy Sophia (feminine) . Have you studied Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual science of anthroposophy? He has written about the feminine aspects of spirituality, the Madonna, Isis and Sophia.
Yes, the church took away the feminine aspect as well as the human free will aspect when the body, soul and spirit became just the body and spirit. The need to be connected to the church, to connect with god through a priest and/or the pope, this decision to take out the soul aspect represents the disconnect of man’s direct relationship to god and spirituality. The church is not necessary for one to have a relationship with god. Though spiritual communities, fellowship and brotherhood are helpful, more important is the individual’s inner life, spiritual work, and morality.
Anyhow- thank you for all you do. I am beginning to read all of your books again for the 2nd time.
Peace and Love from San Francisco :) Are you coming to CA soon?

salam sir,
well can any one really prove the masculine face of God so as to turn to the feminine side and start explaining it??? if the former is proved, the later would get proved automatically as God is perfect in its manifestation; neither masculinity nor femininity could exist exclusive of each other in God.

I think the problem is trying to equate god to something earth bound – God is a man with a beard, God is a woman with many arms, God can only be worshipped in a certain building. Of course we’re going to try and make sense of it using things we know.
I believe our attempts to describe what God really is don’t even come close.
Yes, it is masculine & feminine but it is everything in between as well, it is genderless and every gender & every race, every black hole and every hot dog and everything else in the cosmos that we have yet to see.

Ando tendo acesso a diversos materiais de Física Quântica e quanto mais me aproximo disto mais me aproximo e me distancio de mim mesma. Começa ficar impossível enxergar o mundo da mesma forma, uma vez que você tome consciência de sua realidade. Epifania.
