Living Unbound

It’s probably no secret that male and female energies are quite different and while there are many variations and combinations, our world seems to be dominated by male energy. However, not the male energy that contains, protects and provides stability but rather the other side of that coin that fights, dominates and controls. These misdirected energies have caused war, violence, greed, distrust and fear.

These extreme aspects of male energy would not be considered “negative” in the proper context. A male may fight and dominate to protect others. These extreme energies deemed positive are seen in super hero movies. Controling and maybe even violent to protect others, however even then, violence even in a virtuous scenario feels off. Why is this?

I think it’s because these “heros” still lack any balance of male and female energies. It is always the agressive unstoppable nature of these characters that conquer the evil doer. Simplistic enough for movie goers, but not really the answer to evolving the species.

The natural energy of the femine lives in nurture, empathy, communication and all the aspects of love and beauty in the world. Femine energy tends to be more spiritual, more wise and contains a depth not typically found in males.

I do realize that these are generalities. There are people who carry with them both aspects of male and female energy, but what is interesting to note is that it is the male energy that bleeds over onto women more frequently than the other way around.

Women have had to absorb some of these more agressive tendancies to advance their careers, protect themselves from agressive men, protect their families and just to maintain their own soverign lives. This is not necessarily how a woman would choose to be, but part of the femine aspect is adaptability. Doing what they need to do.

So what is the root cause of all this distortion? First it is in the fragile ego of the male. Not recognising his own inbalances, self worth, fear and not realizing these things are the cause of his controling nature. I believe it is the male misunderstanding the one thing that they need to grow and encourage growth (and maybe even survival) in the world. That is the return and embodiment of female energy. The energy of love, compassion, understanding, nurturing, charity, kindness and empathy. Adopting these traits would not create weakness in males, but in fact the opposite. The strength and depth in embodying these aspects balances and uplifts. Dominance would be replaced with understanding and open communication. Self doubt would be replaced with a deeper sense of who we are, forgiveness and recognising the individual gifts we have to make a positive effect in this world.

I believe that we are seeing more of this embodiment now than we have ever before. Perhaps because of the disillusion of leaders in government, greedy corporations and media leading us down an ever darkening road of fear.

Whatever the cause, the road to peace is in loving and understanding yourself and the knowledge that you are not seperate from others. Opening yourself up to the divine femine creates a completely different and expanded power. The power of love.
