What is the feminine mystery?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The feminine mystery is the eternal ocean of existence, the womb of intuition and wholeness from which all life arises and into which it ultimately returns."
According to Osho, the feminine mystery is the eternal, foundational dimension of existence—the ocean from which all waves arise and into which they dissolve. It is complete, stable, symmetrical, intuitive, and primary; the masculine is temporal, restless, and logical. Because perfection is stable, Lao Tzu names the supreme secret of being 'the Feminine Mystery'—the womb-like, intuitive wholeness underlying all change.
It’s the quiet, steady “ocean” behind life—the mother-like wholeness that stays while the busy waves come and go.
