i wonder how common it is for people to build their own spiritual philosophy from scratch.
i read feminist lit here and there, and do a lot of exploration and study into religions, spiritual philosophies, occult practices, etc to pick and choose what works for me, and this year these two things (fem lit and spiritual study) collided in a way that's made me shift into probably building my own spiritual philosophy, because of how bleak spiritual philosophies are for women.
i got into buddhism this past year, then discovered that traditionally, women can't reach enlightenment, or can only reach it if reincarnated as a guy....... i know this has changed, but i always prefer to go to the source of a philosophy and i hate to say it ladies, but this shit is fucking everywhere. we are demonic matter to these philosophies. so now i'm just building my own thing. the inevitable conclusion, tbh. i just didn't wanna face the mammoth task but to be true to myself, i have no choice. i do not want to go down some spiritual rabbit hole of wonder to then be slapped with a 'you are not actually welcome here' in some form. anyway my study thus far is further proof that misogynists are little freaks that still have a 'boys only' sign on their rotting shelter they're so desperately trying to keep together as they also build around it, destroying the land around it as well as, eventually, the shelter itself, and that anyone - even a fucking buddha - is not immune to being a woman hating idiot.
i urge both women and men to always research deeply into these things. can you morally trust a spiritual (and therefore sacred) philosophy if part of its history is exclusionary to a group of people because of how they were born? not very sacred to me.
