Well What Is It? This Feminine Thing....

2009-06-07T07:49:00.000-07:00

Welcome!!!

Before we get into the post, what I am being compelled to say right now is....

Partnership. What I am compelled to say is master number 11.

The Dreammoods.com dictionary says of the number 1: individuality, individuality solitude, the ego, leadership, originality, beginnings, and a winner. It also stands for a higher spiritual force.
The Dreammoods.com dictionary says of the number 11: intuition, mastery in a particular domain, spirituality, enlightenment, and capacity to achieve. It is symbolic of creativity and visions. It is represented by two parallel lines, thus could represent two individuals or a partnership.

Continuing with Dreammoods definitions:

A man is symbolic (in a very general sense) of masculine energy (in the broadest sense) which is symbolic of assertive, rational, aggressive, competitive, etc., characteristics.
A woman is symbolic (in a very general sense) of feminine energy (in the broadest sense) which is symbolic of nurturance, passivity, caring nature, love, etc., characteristics.

Why am I saying this?

Life is a dream. We can talk more about why and how this is later.
We are all one entity. Yes, I know, more on this later too.
Everyone and everything is a symbolic representation of aspects, thougths, feelings, etc. that are occurring in the Mind of this entity.
You can equate this rationale to your own dreams that occur while you are sleeping or visualizing something.
An important thing to consider at this time is that we have been and still are way out of balance as it relates to the masculine and the feminine in both ourselves and how this imbalance is then manifested in our world.

Manifesting the Feminine

This blog is about manifesting the feminine. In conjunction with this, it is important to explore the feminine and that is why this blog is entitled, Finding the Feminine. Note that the feminine is within all of us. This is about finding it in yourself and manifesting it within yourself, thus outside yourself.

Examples of the feminine manifest

Do you take the time to care for your body? This is the feminine manifest.
Do you recycle? This is the feminine manifest.
Renewable energy is the feminine manifest.
Listening is the feminine manifest.
Total mental health---is indeed the feminine manifest. (This will be very significant as we continue our discussions).

The difference between the masculine and the feminine
There is doing, which is active masculine.
There is being, which is passive feminine.
To be blissful you must first allow yourself to be blissful.
(Can you imagine enjoying sex without allowing yourself to?)
You can apply this to any state of mind, any state of feeling, and any state of being.

Repression is an active state of "pressing".
Let go.
Now, what are you willing to allow to come into your life?
What are you willing to allow yourself to be?
The feminine holds the key to unlocking your greatest desires.
It allows you to be who you truly are.
Your purpose is in this.

How can you access purpose if you are actively controlling it to the point of altering it beyond your own immediate recognition?

Exercise

Relax in this moment.
No talking (in your head).
Now...
What do you really, really want to do right now. Really, really, really want to do?
The feminine just allowed you access to your heart's desire. You innately know what you really, really, really want. There is nothing to think (active masculine) about.

Some of us immediately came up with reasons why we couldn't do it. "Pressing."
Yes. The way the world is set up is based on very masculine principles with very urgent needs, stringent paths of thought and focused thought processes, linear thinking, appearances, controlling a thing, manipulating the seen and unseen through active principles, etc., etc. I will expound more on this later. Just know that peace of mind, which is indeed the key to world peace, is in manifesting the feminine. (Don't take that statement on just yet. No worries, just relax.)

Exercise
Ask yourself how you have typically defined the feminine.

Why?

Using your reasons why, now see the feminine as a powerful conduit to ultimate self-realization--ultimate Self-actualization. Allow yourself to feel empowered about all the reasons you just gave to feel disempowered (about the feminine). Yeah, it's gonna be painful at first. LOL! You can do it! Relax all your resistance, all the "pressing" and just allow the empowerment to flow through you. Feel the releasing empowering you. Releeeeeeease. See how easy that was. Our illusions of what we think things are, have to be, or must be are holding us hostage. Let go. You are not going to lose yourself. Let me repeat those last statements. Let go. You are not going to lose yourself. Indeed, you will gain everything.

Yes. We do feel that we must protect what is sensitive, fragile, and vulnerable about us. Here's what we are going to be exploring in this blog: There is nothing to be sensitive, fragile, or vulnerable about. What? Do you know what true power is? Well if you did, you wouldn't be taken aback by that statement. Imagine having total confidence in your masculine and feminine aspects. Imagine knowing and feeling perfect, whole, and complete. Because you are. Many of us don't know it and certainly don't believe it, but it is Truth. We will explore all of this more in this blog.

Learning to Release
Start with little things like a misplaced comment from someone. Yeah, in theory, it was insensitive. Why "in theory"? Remember how sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can never hurt you. Imagine the person just made that same comment in a language you didn't understand. Shoulder shrug, because you don't know any better. Only in our original scenario, they don't know any better!

Why? Because the only way someone can "hurt your feelings" is if you agree with what they are saying, which means you don't know yourself. Now, knowing this, is the insensitivity really coming from the other person? No, it's coming from you. Why? Because you have forgotten something. You have forgotten that you are perfect, whole, and complete. There is nothing to be "sensitive" about--only something to consider. What there is to consider is why you became defensive in the first place. You get to explore why you became defensive, get to the bottom of it (this can take as long as you let it) and then--release it. The next insensitive comment someone makes about the same thing won't have an effect on you if you have adequately addressed and released the core issue of why you became defensive in the first place.

(But, but.... for us intellectual analytical types, please read, "Identifying the Problem to Death...if only" , "Kissing Strangers", and especially "New Genesis: The Basis of Choice").

Practicing Allowing Energy to Flow versus Internalizing Negativity and Creating Blockages
Someone cut you off in traffic, let it go. What are you gonna do? Run them off the road? Scream obscenities at them? This derides your peace. So in the beginning, let the disappointed feeling travel through you and release it. Don't keep it pent up inside. Don't internalize it!!! Their behavior is not an attack on you!!! They don't know you. Unless you agree that they do, which means you don't know yourself. (Mmgh! I went there. I did.) Just breathe. Eventually, you'll witness other people's behavior and you'll just think, "Wow, that person could use some release." (Smile) And it is true. That type of behavior is simply an imbalance between the masculine and the feminine at the personal level. If they weren't imbalanced, they would have never been inconsiderate of another person in the first place. If you are imbalanced, you will attack right back. First yourself with a stream of negative internalized emotions and then outward against them, bystanders, and even the family dog.

Folks, the feminine is about nurturing yourself. And if you're relaxed, then you are being relaxed and if you are being relaxed, then you are relaxation manifest. And if you are relaxation manifest others will sense your relaxation and they too will begin to feel a sense of calm. This is important, because all inner states manifest outward. Masculine is the active manifest. If you are expecting peace and tranquility to come from "out there", that's impossible. This is because it comes from "in here" and manifests outward. Please reread this entire post!

This is all pretty easy to conceptualize huh? It is all very, very hard to apply when we are too masculine identified. The feminine within us is so undernourished right now that it is one of our greatest sources of inadequacy. Oh we shall speak of these things!!! Goodie, goodie!!! Until next time:

The Buddha is reported to have said, "It is possible to travel the whole
world in search of one who is more worthy of compassion than oneself. No such
person can be found."

(Dag Buddha, that's deep! And just remember, we are all the same entity. ;-)

I love you unconditionally. You are perfect, whole, and complete. Believe this and your attitude will transform, your actions will transform, the world will transform.

Check out my primary blog BecauseIchoose! Until next time, you are supported in ways that you hope and in ways you can't imagine. Keep going realize Self.

Good Reads! See if you can identify the feminine in what this author is sharing.
