Quote:As a man, my calling in this life is to help rebirth the sacred feminine on this planet and within myself. For some people, especially men, this is confusing. “Why would you do that? Aren’t you giving away your power to women? Are you giving up your masculinity?”
I am asked questions like this all the time.
It is so simple really.
For everyone, man or woman, restoring our relationship with the deep feminine principle, in all her various forms and manifestations is the key to Life itself. The Feminine is the Mother from which all life births. Without her, we have no roots and our world withers. Our planet, our physical health, our psychological and spiritual development, our relationships, our happiness, our pleasure, our lives … everything depends on our connection to the feminine foundation.
Feelings, intuitions, softness, receptivity, sensitivity, love, affection, nurturing, cuddling, relationships, merging, union, partnerships and collaborations, our physical bodies, sexuality, sensuality, beauty, music, dance, art, poetry, dreams, creativity, giving birth, raising children, emotional healing and development, nature, animals, gardens, the ‘commons’, earth … these are some of the many faces of the feminine expression, which are not separate from the masculine, but created in union together.
The Soul of the World is Calling Out to Men
This reality was so interwoven into the psyches and spiritual vision of our aboriginal ancestors that they could not have even imagined it otherwise. Yet today, for those with the eyes to see, what is happening in the world is shocking. Human beings have set themselves apart from the greater web of life. Man has set himself apart from woman. The feminine World Soul, the Anima Mundi, is sick. The roots of the Tree of Life are rapidly withering, and will topple unless something shifts.
Fortunately, some incredible help is arriving. A new wave of feminine consciousness is flooding onto the planet in a wild current that is quickly bringing great change.
It is a revolution through the yin channel, through infinite receptivity and soft power. The omega once again becomes the alpha and a new cycle begins. From this root, the yang consciousness rebirths, but this time in balance.
Masculine Awakening into Union~
The real challenge of this age is to ask ourselves, “Can I fully open to receive this energy?”, and “Can I fully give myself to this awakening?” Those who have the hearts and courage to do so will be given the keys to the Queendom of the feminine dimension, and its beauty will ripple out in powerful rebirthing waves.
As a man, the most important question I can ask myself is not, “What has the feminine path got to do with me?”, but, more urgently, “When and how did our world ever believe I could be separate from that which birthed me?”
This leads us to a pathway back to union, and asks us to envision how to return to the embrace of that feminine consciousness in a way that includes the complimentary gifts of our inner masculine essence.
These are the questions inviting our deepest exploration as men, both personally and collectively.
This is the first of a series of short essays on the feminine awakening from a man’s perspective.
