It was just the other day I stood in a circle of men and women. Each of us witnessed our common sense of humanity. We understood…
The essence of the Divine Feminine is the spark of life from which all life emerges. The same energy that grows a plant grows us. The divine feminine is the innate body, heart, gut, and wisdom that all human beings have within them. We can sense, feel and intuit our highest options.
Unfortunately, we have lost touch with this natural ability in western civilization. Religions have exhorted allegiance to what might be called supernatural love, union with the transcendent Logos as the incontrovertible spiritual ideal. For the most part, we are not taught to think or feel for ourselves, but to simply believe what we are told.
Along with the awakening of the divine feminine, we have seen the less-than-divine or un-awakened feminine. We see plenty of movies and television shows filled with catty, sarcastic, insecure, envious, jealous, bitter and resentful women…and men. But how else can we understand the value of bringing forth the divine feminine in ourselves unless we see the opposite?
In the same way, the feminine is waking up to her divine qualities and offering these gifts to the world, so the masculine is awakening to a new (actually old) way of being with the feminine. Anthropologists such as Riane Eisler recognize that partnership societies in which the feminine and masculine were equally honoured were the norm until approximately 3,300 years ago.
Our awakened masculine, understands the importance and value of the feminine. As the divine feminine protects and champions, the awakened masculine is willing to explore emotional availability, compassion, receptivity, erotic innocence and expression. He is in service to the awakening divine feminine.
The awakening masculine supports the feminine aspect in visionary women and men, so they can bring their gifts into the world. He values and cherishes sexual energy, and uses it consciously. He invites sex, and takes both yes and no for an answer rather than uses superior strength and force to dominate.
A cosmic game, it seems, is afoot. The long-dormant energies of the Divine Feminine are awakening.. This sacred feminine consciousness teaches us the more refined arts of sexual love, and reveals the healing and wholeness that await us as we reclaim our passion and inner authority as evolved women and men. Thus, the essential link is remembered as the “God-ness” within. It comes forth and transforms the mundane into the sacred. As we learn to surrender to this energy, we receive the inner guidance we have been looking for, which enables us to awaken to sustainable, everlasting love and passion in our lives.
Equally, the sacred masculine is emerging as a protective force each one of us carries. He stands for what is good and true in the world and without pretence, honours all woman as women do men. We hold each of these forces and it’s our life’s task to nurture and grow each of these forces within our psyches and relationships.
