The conflict is within you.

Hello world. The following was written 10/17/2017.

I have been having a dialogue with a brother regarding the word brother and my use of it. Some interesting things begin to come out in the open as the dialogue unfolds. An understanding of judgments and beliefs held and how they twist ones perspectives.

A brother asks, “I agree with much of what you have said. Not all but much. Thanks for sharing. Just curious who are the brothers your writing to? Or is this post specific to men in the group only?”

My response, “Hello brother. I use the term brother unilaterally for everyone. I do this out of the understanding that we are both male and female encapsulated within the same shell. We are equal parts of each which creates the whole of who we are. Also it is what Holy Spirit calls me and calls everyone around me including my parents.”

A brother responds, “Brother is specific to male and sister is specific to female so I don’t understand your logic as to how calling everyone brother represents our duality.”

My response, “The conflict you experience hearing the term brother being applied to you, would be caused by a belief held by you. A belief that you are your body and that your body defines who you are and believe yourself to be. Masculine and Feminine are not referring to gender in the context with which I use it. The term brother is used in regard a Unity of oneness or sameness.
