It’s good to want to explore your fears, worries, distortions, etc. If you identify as a wanderer, I will say that it’s inevitable that we will pick up some distortions from the planetary population. We are in the same boat as everyone else. This is a very distorted planetary population.
Absolutely not! Positivity doesn’t mean complacency. There is definitely room for the masculine on the positive path.
My favorite Sephirah on the Tree of Life is Chesed, Mercy, Jupiter. This is a masculine aspect of Creation. He is the wise beneficent peacetime king sitting on his throne. He protects and guides his people. He is the building up aspect of manifestation. He is the world builder. Opposed him on the Tree is Geburah who is the breaking down aspect of manifestation. Both are spheres of masculine force, which is absolutely vital to Creation.
Men and women simply have different strengths. The man may build, but the woman has inspired him to build. Do you see the equal give and take here? Both need each other. There is no lesser than or greater than.
The masculine can be looked upon as “force” and the feminine as “form”. The force needs to be contained in a form and the form needs a force to contain. Otherwise we have no manifestation. That initial creative impulse from Kether IS, that’s it. In Chokmah it is virile and needs to be “received” otherwise the energy dissipates. Binah receives this creative pulse and gives it a form of expression. This is Chokmah and Binah on the Tree of Life, the All-Father and the Great Mother.
Anyway you are already doing the work of balancing and understanding your distortions and that’s the first step towards healing them. I’m free to talk about anything you want to talk about, my friend!
Quote:For example, I look around and say "Men built all this.... primarily for women" and a piece of me worries that by taking the positive path I may be opting out of the metaphysical equivalent of world building. And the chauvinism might be in the attitude that taking the feminized energy or RECEIVING on the matter could be somehow a thing I would take issue with? I dunno.
