Redefining the masculine in the face of the returning feminine
In terms of consciousness and for a long period of time, Mother Earth, has been dominated by a masculine energy.
This dynamic has permeated modern society creating imbalance to most of life on planet Earth. Most of humanity is disconnected from Mother Earth, destroying nature in order to feed an ever growing need to consume resources. Many indigenous earth based communities have been interfered with for the purpose of control and in order to break their spiritual connection to life.
The Masculine in this imbalanced state is destined to create destruction without the balance of the feminine.
Our world is yearning for balance and to meet this need whether we are aware of it or not humanity is now faced with the return of the feminine. Hooray!
This poses several questions.
How has the Masculine been defined?
How do we redefine the Masculine in the face of the returning Feminine?
How do we as individuals retain the essence of the Masculine in the face of the returning Feminine?
In our Modern society the masculine has put value and merit on competitiveness with a Win/Lose mentality, intellect over intuition, brain over heart. Success is often measured by climbing up the corporate ladder, and accumulation of material assets. Most of these things are external and cannot substitute for the pure essence of who we are.Men and Women are likely to face their own challenges in the face of the rising feminine.
Women may need to reclaim who they are as women rather than compromise their truth to survive in a masculine world.
Men may need to begin to honor how they feel rather than creating an artificial shell that appears to strengthen them in the face of competition and rivalry.
Men are often initiated into Manhood through competitive sports, the military as well gangs and prisons. These initiations are all reflections of a distorted form of masculinity and the need for a return to a pure or sacred form of masculinity that honors both the Masculine and the Feminine.
The way back is to ride the wave of the rising feminine by connecting with the inner nature of who you are as a man, moving the primary orientation from competition to co-operation, from thinking to feeling, and from the brain to the heart.
By reconnecting to the elements of nature experienced both within the body and in the outer world of nature, it is possible to remember the true nature of who you are as a Man or a Woman in the face of the returning feminine.
The 4 elements of nature (Fire, Water, Earth and Air) align with the 4 sacred directions (East, South, West, North) that embody 4 aspects of human consciousness (Spiritual, Emotional, Physical and Mental) and when explored can lead to the truth of your pure essence that resides within your Heart connected to Mother Earth who loves, nurtures and supports life, and Father Sky above who guides directs and gives purpose to all life,
The key to retaining the essence of the Masculine in the face of the returning Feminine is to operate from a place of honoring the beauty, magic and mystery of the Feminine, both within and reflected without. Supporting the return of feminine consciousness without feeling insecure, needing to control, or feeling a loss of power; instead creating an energy that nurtures and helps birth the dreaming of the New Humanity, unified and one.
