I am in service to The Feminine. People confuse this with “Women” because there is an overlap but I’ll say that the difference is that I am in service to an energy. I’m not in service to an identity. I am also however in service to the truth of the Female (as in XX chromosome) embodiment.
How did life become so complex, hey?
The reason I am starting this post this way is because it’s important I frame this discussion from the vantage point in which I see it, which many people have never been introduced to.
For a quick and dirty on what I mean when I discuss masculine and feminine for the purposes of this conversation:
Masculine: data, logic, ideas, the mind/ Ego, vision, structure, linear, erect, external, penetration, production, execution - distortions of masculine would include misaligned domination and extraction.
Feminine: unknown, mystery, paradox, complexity, cyclical, the body, emotion, intuition, connection oriented, open, internal, receptive, birthing, creation, death. Distortions of feminine would include incapable and victimized and drunk with unconscious disregulated emotion.
I also want to say that I’m very, very weary of laying out the distortions because they become cherries people like to pick to vilify as opposed to see and feel the subtle nuance (a Feminine Art). But I will demonstrate with examples as we go.
With that out of the way, let me clarify we live in a culture that elevates and values the Masculine energetic aspects, and devalues and demonizes the Feminine energetic aspects.
This is where you need to follow me closely.
Women also devalue and demonize the Feminine energetic aspects. Especially within themselves.
And in the quest for equal rights, which I also support for all people under the law, Feminism has taken on both a distorted Masculine and Feminine energetic. It’s either dominating or drunk. And when I say “drunk” as it relates to the Feminine, what I mean is deeply unconscious weaponized emotion that is out of alignment with connection or reception.
To clarify my own thread of belief here, I believe every human being has the right to be fully expressed as they wish to be expressed in this lifetime.
I believe laws should treat all humans with equal protections.
I don’t believe in special victim status identities.
I believe that spiritually, we came to learn to be fully expressed within the circumstances we were born into - meaning there is no promise of equality of the starting point. ( I recognize this is a whole other teaching and I’ll have to address it in another post for the sake of space and time).
I believe in correcting patterns & behavior that are out of alignment with deepest truth or originate from distorted energetics.
These are “Yes and” beliefs in that they are complex and hold a thread for society and for the spiritual.
These are my beliefs and I don’t believe in forcing them on anyone.
Ok, now let’s get into the meat of this.
