Nads – Two of My Favorite Things
“Mom, you don’t have any nads.” “Well, it’s just a design issue.” “Women have to have nads too… you have to defend yourself.” “Yes, but I’m not into fighting – I like to communicate.” “You don’t have to fight, just correct people when they do something wrong.” “Does that mean correct you too?” “Well… yeah.” “Okay. I’m curious… why not correct yourself if you know you’re wrong?” “Mom… don’t turn this around…”
And that’s our conversation about nads (aka gonads). We had fun with it although I can’t say we came to a greater understanding. Time will tell.
Some people say it’s all about having the courage of our convictions. I don’t think so. Our convictions can be seriously off track. A conviction is nothing more than a firmly held opinion, and opinions are ego-based. Having the courage to speak or act on your firmly held opinion is not worth much. Reducing the number of opinions you have is a far more worthy activity.
So let’s talk about it. What is the spiritual meaning of having gonads, and who has them? It’s the person whose heart has come full circle: they do understand, and they have the inner power to act upon understanding. This kind of action often requires giving up something society has taught you to value. When you have an understanding heart and the power to act and accept the consequences, you have spiritual gonads.
All of my life I’ve been loving people who have this kind of ‘heart’. When they step outside of the expectations of their culture and of the control system and do the thing that their heart says do, they often have a fight on their hands and lots of ‘waiting for them to fail’ people standing around. I have a good memory of everyone who has touched me in the ‘having heart’ way. Could I mention just a few of them to you before we move on to the now?
