Tradition seems to see the Spirit as the Heavenly Mother (eg. Shekinah of the Hebrews) but if one must attach gender to these things I see the Spirit-Will as more the Heavenly Father, since the Spirit-Will is the activator of material and supermaterial life. Would matter than be more female? But I don't attach gender to these things because it encourages a false duality. Matter and Spirit are always together, as the material and supermaterial, in their evolution together to Godhood.
This nonduality also means one does not “sacrifice” the “temple” of the body to Spirit, because in doing so we lose the means, the vehicle, required to evolve to Godhood. This sacrifice is done in the Inward Path where in doing so one can see and experience the God or Godmind Within, but this is not Godhood. Godhood is reached through the Outward Path with the evolution of material life to supermaterial life and Godhood. Nevertheless, both Paths are included in Evolutionary Christianity.
