Faith life
Our church's spiritual life is based on the belief that true harmony and balance can only be achieved when we acknowledge, respect, and objectively handle both sides and all three qualities of our being. Thus, the balancing of opposing forces and qualities, as well as the dissolution of egotistical obsessions, allow insight and entry into a more fulfilled and refined world and state of being beyond extreme conditions. In our current world, which often indiscriminately attempts to confine everyone to strictly prescribed societal/cultural and family/gender roles, we must offer a safe and inclusive space for individuals and groups who can fully and authentically express themselves there.
ANDROGINIA is a community whose members, despite having different attributes and societal roles, are characterized by unity and community within our church. A complete community in which the common mental space as a collective consciousness (somewhat like "God" or "One God") is experienced and worked upon by the presence and action of the primordial egregore (consciousness community). Its goal is to explore, convey, deepen, and preserve the values of the androgynous worldview, as well as to protect and represent the interests of the androgynous worldview, lifestyle, and value system.
The congregation consists of those members who regularly gather for common activities, while the denomination includes those members who do not participate in regular gatherings. Only members of the congregation can be elected to form our church's internal governing hierarchy, thus facilitating more personalized religious work and optimal operational management in the church's life and body.
We believe that the Almighty created man to be a sphere with Him, similar to Him, for it is said in the so-called Scriptures that "let us make man in our image and likeness"—and indeed, the similar attracts the similar. We interpret this to mean that the Almighty and all gods are Androgynous beings, the unity and not the separation of male and female, which is one of humanity's oldest aspirations for absolute freedom, resulting in absolute freedom if humans are not limited by one or more pairs of opposites.
Masculine and feminine characteristics are merely the two extreme poles of existence from their appearance: the active-expansive-encompassing initiating principle and the passive-receptive-preserving manifesting principle, which provide content and effectiveness to each other, functionally complementing each other as equal principles. The tension between the two is dissolved as identity in divine wholeness in the spirit and then in the consciousness of consciousness, and in reality, it does not separate.
The fact that these two poles are currently still in a separated state in individuals indicates that some kind of fracture or split has occurred in the so-called cosmos, bodies, and shells, and this imbalance and schism express the separation from the divine, thus having a salvific function. Androgyny is still an integral part of many cultures' religious traditions and can be found in the mythologies of many peoples, at least since the so-called Stone Age, in religious symbols up to the present day, as several forms of faith in the world consider androgyny to be the ideal state of being. In some traditions, the supreme deity is a complex, composite entity, attributed with both male and female (or male-female-child) principles, and many supreme deities have their opposite-gender celestial counterpart, often depicted as fused together in a form of hermaphroditism.
More broadly, Androgyny—as a pure state of being-consciousness—can be interpreted not only as the transcendence of the male-female split but also as the overcoming of separation from the divine, thus as a new "wedding" between human and divine states. The transition to the original/new state of being can occur in an instant or as a result of a longer tuning process, depending on the presence of individual or collective recognition and discernment abilities as well as the appropriate level of wisdom, both in the physical natural and the so-called supernatural.
ANDROGINIA is thus a consciousness community operating throughout the entirety of human consciousness and—essentially inevitably—beyond its boundaries, which the initially separate consciousnesses of the members call into being again and again for the purpose of their self-declaration practice. The primary activity of this community is complex self-declarative activity, aiming to revive, represent, and maintain the androgynous worldview, lifestyle, and value system in the human common mental space, to permanently assume human and transcending community and solidarity, and to experience, surpass, and complete the related experiential and self-declarative activities both individually and collectively.
An important cornerstone of this religion and church's spiritual life is to continuously and persistently help the joining androgynous worldview people and supporters navigate the often not too friendly cycles of life's chaotic patterns, from conception to the grave and from the grave to conception, through understanding the favorable and unfavorable mental spaces and states of consciousness, and the related spiritual and mental qualities, all the way to awakening and arriving in the human-divine wholeness.
Accordingly, a person is considered spiritual if emotions primarily guide their thoughts, and a person is considered intellectual if thoughts primarily guide their emotions; however, consciousness can transcend even thought! Androgyny—understood as the communal mental space of those who share common beliefs—is formed by individuals with an androgynous (or alternatively termed androgynous, androgen, etc.) worldview, based on their religious convictions.
