Everything starts with understanding yourself—being self-aware. One of the most important things worth mentioning is that in Kabbalistic teachings, as well as in early Christian and Gnostic texts about Adams Creation, Adam was created both male and female. Now, before you freak out and start a book burning, let me explain! The theory suggests that Adam, the first human created by God, was initially androgynous, containing both male and female aspects within one body. The name Adam (aw-dawm') simply means a human being, not someone's first name like we use it today. In Genesis 1:27, it states that both male and female were created at the same time and called aw-dawm'. But it wasn’t until later, in Genesis 2:22, that God created a woman by separating her from the man. God noted, “It is not good for man to be alone,” which, interestingly, can also be read as "all in one" or "all one." In other words, men shouldn’t embody both male and female in one body. I would argue that the creation of Eve from Adam’s rib (or side) symbolizes the division of the androgynous nature of humanity into two complementary halves. These two halves (male and female) are meant to come back together in unity, forming a whole. This reunion of masculine and feminine, through marriage or relationships, restores the original balance present in the first human. On a side note It’s fascinating that God created Adam in His image, but when He made woman, He didn’t just repeat the process—He crafted something entirely unique, drawing from Adam but creating a being so extraordinary that it stood out from anything in heaven or on earth. No wonder the angels were captivated. Women, from their very creation, were designed with a distinct beauty and strength that complement and complete men in a way that no other creation could. Jesus even referred to this idea in the Gospels when He spoke about going back to the original creation, where men and women were one being before their separation. In Matthew 19:4-5, He says: “Haven’t you read,” He replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’” While many assume the “one flesh” reference is about sex, I’d argue it’s so much more than that. Sure, sex is important in marriage, and yes, it legally solidifies the union, but the biblical reference to “becoming one flesh” speaks to becoming one person again. And I know what you're thinking: how can two people become one? Well, that’s where things get interesting. The connection between two people during intercourse—body, mind, and soul—takes us back to that original unity we once shared. This is also why sexual immorality is such a big deal. As the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:18: “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.” Their own body—that’s key. It’s not just about sinning against yourself, but also against that extension of you in a relationship. Sex is not just a physical act; it’s a spiritual and emotional connection, a moment where two beings unite in a way that is intensely profound. This union goes beyond what most people comprehend, which is why even governments don’t recognize a marriage until the sexual bond has been formed—hence, the whole Consummation thing. But unity doesn’t start or end in the bedroom. The power of unity is far more complex than I first imagined. Synergy plays a role in everything—even God operates in synergy. Speaking of synergy, this word became crucial to my understanding. Synergy is the interaction or cooperation of two or more entities to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their individual parts. The term synergy comes from the Greek word synergia, meaning "working together." This revelation helped me understand more about human chromosomes, particularly the XY sex-determination system, and why men decide whether a baby will be male or female. Women carry only the X chromosome, while men carry both X and Y. This biological fact highlights the deep bond between men and women and why it can be difficult for either to be alone. This is why it’s essential to understand that God works in synergy within the Divine Trinity, and He created us with three parts: mind, body, and soul. None can function properly without the others. Even in elements like H2O, we see how things work together. Each part on its own is incomplete, much like how humans often feel incomplete without connection. And when that connection is missing, we fill it with other things—cue the argument about addiction, but we’ll save that for another time. Understanding synergy will not only shift your perception of relationships but also your effectiveness within them. Synergy isn’t like compromise, where someone has...
