In this meditation we are focusing on the equality of the sexes.
So whatever sex you are,
Whatever you identify as,
Just seat yourself in your visualization with people from different genders.
And recognize that they are all on this planet for the same reasons that you are,
Which may not be known or clear,
But you're all living as best as you can.
And really try to root out your reasons.
For being prejudiced or biased against another sex,
Do you really think that the other sex is inferior to you?
Do you really think that there are jobs that are better suited to the other sex?
Do you honestly see the other sex as being more emotional,
Less rational?
Less capable?
Inferior in so many ways?
So once we've rooted this out,
We can start to think what the world would be like if everybody was like you.
No variety.
No one to balance ourselves with.
All of the same energy.
Is that what you want?
How would you like to be treated by every individual?
With dignity?
With respect?
Acceptance?
Would you like to be heard,
Acknowledged,
Listened to?
And start to visualize this group of people you are seated with expanding outwards and everyone,
Regardless of sex,
Treated with the respect and dignity that you wish to receive.
The most used and common idea in all belief systems,
Religious and secular,
Is to treat others the way you wish to be treated.
Can you live by this?
When and how do you need to be mindful?
Do you need to be mindful?
