The truth about the word BrideGroom

Understanding oneself

Fun fact, did you know that the actual meaning behind bridegroom, which is an oxymoron found in the holy bible, is balance within oneself as a man. The ancient Asian people called it Yin and Yang or the balance of masculinity and feminism. This is finding balance between one's own emotions. When the bible speaks on bridegroom it is speaking on a man who has found balance between his chromosomes.

As human beings we all have twenty three pairs of chromosomes. The twenty third Chromosome is the genetic mutation within the human body that determines if a child will become male (X,Y) or female (X,X). For women, having two of the same genetic markers helps them to find balance within themselves early. Whereas males have two completely genetic markers their balancing.

I've heard from multiple people growing up that women develop mentally much faster then men. I never believed it to be true. Mainly because at that time I didn't know I was fighting myself which is Y, or ego. As I started to research the saying that I was told all my life I started to realize it was accurate. Because women don't have testosterone coursing through their bodies, the need to be the best at everything isn't present. Whereas with men we tend to compete at everything attempting to show dominance in everything we do.

This emotion, or need to be the best comes from the instability which is our chromosomes. Most spiritual and ancient texts that speak on how to be a better self for self and others were mainly directed towards men. It was a way for us to find guidance through our human anatomy. For thousands of years men have been driven by ego alone. Now this doesn’t speak on individual cases, rather men as a whole.

For most men, we don’t like to feel too soft. Let alone feel anything mushy or something that would make us come off a not tough. This is truly only the case for men who are still fighting the feminine side of themselves. Sadly no matter how much we want to deny it, when we are first conceived we all start as an X chromosome which is feminism. It isn’t until the last pair of chromosomes is developed that a child becomes a man or remains a woman. Immediately exiting the wound as a male we put into the hands of a female. This female is now the primary source of all of our daily need for the next 3 to five years.

Though in most cases the father is present, we learn mostly everything from a female's perspective. It isn’t until we come to the realization that we can retain information that we start to develop an understanding from the society we live in on how someone of our gender is supposed to act. As men we immediately see inconsistency in how we act being soft hearted, to how society has branded the actions of a man, or someone with the Y chromosome. We then lean more towards the male role models we have in our life. Rather it be dad, an uncle, or male cousin we tend to find someone older who has already adopted the traits deemed presentable for some of our gender type.

Women on the other hand don’t have this same problem. They are able to adopt the patterns of their main provider, which in most cases is their mother. Because there is no need to change the patterns and costumes they’re used to which is typically X chromosomes thinking, or feminate they can develop into themselves much faster. This holds true in most cases unless their father is the main caregiver. In these cases we find women who display more boyish like qualities, hence the name “Tomboy”. In these cases females must find a female role model when they come to the understanding and knowledge of retaining information and the social norm for someone of their gender. This is typically learned in the early years of school.

Because the men do not usually obtain full access to the frontal lobes of their brain, which is the control panel until they’re around twenty-five, understanding how to be soft and sweet, but at the same time tough and firm doesn’t really sink in until shortly after their twenty-fifth birthday in most cases. It really depends on the individual, their upbringing, and their capacity to learn and retain information.

Advanced understanding of the inner workings of the human body and emotions were given thousands of years before we even knew what a chromosome was. The fact that now we can use our newly acquired information we acquired through the process of human evolution to depict thousands of years old teaching is quite astonishing. To think a word like “BrideGroom” could be dissected now with modern day science terminology to help understand teachings from people who were much more primitive than we are is amazing.

Rather you believe in God, a higher power, atheist, or whatever, it’s crazy to think that everything we've been taught was to simply guide us through our unstable genes. Some say it's divine intervention, or the universe, or even a higher power. Whatever you call it, it's pretty amazing that someone or something could give us guidance with words like bridegroom to help figure ourselves out. #MyFunfact234
