Thank you, glad to get your input here. I think you’re right that the procreative (animal) body given at the Fall needs to be ascended in the course of the "mystery."

Gender seems like a puzzle here. A male becomes the focus. But the bride of Christ is a female identity, and Jesus is the "new Adam." I wonder if a key could be a male human shifting into a spiritually female role somehow.

How does the Course in Miracles treat gender?
