consciousness is nonbinary
Ayurveda teaches us that consciousness is nonbinary.
We see sexual fluidity across a range of animals as well as in the plant kingdom, so to deny its role in shaping the gender identities and sexual orientations of human beings is to deny nature itself. ~Yoga Journal
âVasudev Kutumbhakam.â
The world is one family.
Ayurveda affirms everyone. We are all of one nature.
In context, the verse âvasudeva kutumbakamâ from the Hindu text the Maha Upanishad describes the yogi who has reached the highest level on his spiritual journey and no longer has attachments to material things.
The term comes from the ancient Sanskrit vasudeva, which means the Eternal Reality, and kutumbaka, meaning âfamily.â In the alternate spelling, vasudha means the Earth. The overall meaning of the expression is the same â that all of the world, universe or reality is one. The Bhagavata Purana describes vasudeva kutumbakam as the âloftiest Vedantic thought.â It affirms the worth of all life â human, animal and plants â and the value of their interconnectedness on Earth and in the universe, just as the goal of yoga is unity.
