At the risk of really pissing off my feminist friends and Divine feminine Goddesses I know and love, I’m going to say what I think needs to be said.
The Female is not our future. It’s our past, just like the Male isn’t our future either. Both the Patriarchy and The Matriarchy have failed miserably, and it’s time to do the one thing we seem to really struggle with.
Unite.
I was just on a call with a very enlightened man who clearly wanted to be seen as an ally to women, and I commend him. Women have, for a very, very long time, suffered under the Patriarchal, male rule of society and civilizations.
I am not denying that…
We are literally at war and on the brink of an all-out world war because of what primarily white men have done with their absolute power.
We are at the precipice of a civil war because of what primarily white men have done with their absolute power.
Women are still under attack in 2024, no less, because of what primarily white men have done with their absolute power.
The planet is raging and convulsing because of what primarily white men have done with their absolute power.
All of that is accurate and not a complete list of the utter atrocities the Patriarchy has unleashed on humanity. And while handing over the reins to women, for a time, might edge us back a bit from falling over the cliff into total annihilation, it will not solve all our problems.
The current chaotic state of humanity stems not from whether we are led by the masculine or the feminine, The Man or The Woman, but because we have separated the two.
One cannot “lead” without the other. This is why there are two. The Yin and the Yang, if you will.
We have Yin and we have Yang – but we are not yinging and yanging – that’s for sure.
According to the Taoist religion, the concept of Yin and Yang are the two fundamental principles of the universe. Yin and Yang have various associations, such as female and male, dark and light, passive and active, and stillness and motion. The Yin and Yang symbol doesn't represent Western dualism but symbolizes balance. According to this philosophy, two opposite forces can coexist in harmony and transmute into each other.
See that part—transmute each other, live in balance and harmony—not at odds, fighting against each other, but coexisting in community, collaboration, and world-building.
Masculine and feminine aren’t even related to gender! We have made them that way, or they have been taught to us in that way, which has caused a whole lot of unnecessary suffering.
I’m not sure of the exact moment that humans decided to create a war within our own selves, battling our innate masculine and feminine qualities, dividing them up into separate parts, and handing them out individually as if we can only choose one.
And even now, the concept of Masculine and Feminine has been perverted into stereotypes that fit nicely into the Patriarchal mold of Man and woman.
Men must be “Manly and strong and powerful,” and Women must be “feminine and soft and gentle.”
There was a time when women were powerful, and the men revered their leadership. Individuals' strengths were honored, not categorized, labeled, and organized based on body parts.
And, unless we find our way back to our original connection to our masculine and feminine, united, we are destined to crash and burn.
I believe we’ve been in free fall for a very long time, and the ground is fast approaching. While humanity has repeated this cycle of climb and fall for our entire existence, I often wonder if we won’t be able to get back up this time. I mean, how many times can humans blow everything up and rebuild? Is this our actual destiny: to build it, break it, and repeat the process until we figure it out?
Is it really that hard to figure out? If you’re a religious person – the steps are written down; there are only 10, and they are pretty basic; even if you’re not religious, they seem reasonable, right?
Why do we humans make everything so hard for ourselves?
I don’t have the answer to that question. I can only hope that someday soon, we will wake up and say enough of the hate, enough of the divisiveness, enough, enough, enough…
At the risk of sounding cheesy… let’s all get along; wouldn’t that just be better?
