Regardless of
being born into a masculine functioning form, designed and constructed to be
able to perform certain functions and operate in specific ways, are we as
Spirits first and foremost, inherently either male or female – and as Spirits,
when entering this life, born into a boy’s body upon birth, are we only that, a
man in the making?
I don’t think
so. With so many of the traditional gender boundary markers being destroyed,
transformed and redesigned these days, steadily picking up momentum especially since the
advent of the birth control pill way back when, men have been more or less
clueless as to which role we are now to play. Or perhaps perform is more accurate.
We just Love
tasks. It gives us something to do that taps into our whole ‘live with a
purpose’ thing. We often need a direction in mind and a goal in sight that gives us
a sense of endeavoring in our lives. It’s been said, first and foremost, the masculine
Lifeforce is predominantly guided to fulfill our purposeful function in life.
As in ‘doing the do’ – however this happens to look like at the time. We're the more action oriented force of the mix.
As we’ve come
to realize, the masculine/feminine archetypal Lifeforce is certainly not gender
specific. Not at all. As humans, we have a unique combination of both qualities built into
our hard drives, with our individual interpretations adding to the elaborate
and often colorful mix. Just walk down 6th Ave in the village, here
in NYC on any Saturday night and you'll see a full array of humanity openly on display.
The irony in
the gender struggles, with both sexes in an accelerated free fall into unknown
territory, is both sexes ultimately win. The swing of the evolutionary arch is now inviting anyone who chooses to look between the extremes or apparent
opposites to find the common resting place within us all. And it's in our
Hearts, don’t you know? Only here can we truly come together, unifying in
commonality without definition or distinction. It's in our Heartspace the
myriad differences are no longer readily evident and only here can we meet together
in the Sacred within our common Self. Yes after all boys and girls, Home is in the Heart.
A friend and
once teacher of mine (thank you David Cates) shared the notion that men
actually have wombs as well, energetically speaking. That contained within our male matrix is
the template of this feminine core, creatrix force. While working and training together, he would guide me into this energy field, accessing the feminine
current inherently contained in my lower belly. I came to call this tapping
into my ‘belly wisdom.’
As an
empathic shape-shifter, this was fairly easy for me to do. It allowed me to get in touch with a
very different consciousness flow of ‘Keith’ - one that had very different
qualities, perspectives and characteristics than I was used to. It was subtle
sensing at first though quickly turned into an ongoing meet-and-greet, like an
intimate networking event all contained inside me. 'Hello and how are you?
This is my male me. It’s so nice to finally meet you, my inner feminine nature
…'
Over the
years, I’ve come to disinvest in what this all possibly means needing less
and less reasons why to satisfy my curiosity and understanding. In time, I’ve
become very comfortable interacting with these complimentary parts of Keith. The ongoing discovery
has certainly been rich enough. The way my mind functions has become less
linear, more cyclical if not holographic in perception and as a result, my internal viewfinder has expanded to include a much larger field of vision
My intuition has greatly developed
and my ability to feel deeply has also increased. I believe this is a direct
result of opening up to my innate, feminine consciousness and inviting this
aspect of me to express itself more and more. I have been well fed with all she provides.
However, accessing this feminine element has also proven challenging as well. Never having had
much of a hint as to how to ‘act like a man’ and being very resistant and
reluctant to follow in the prestepped footprints of my father and other male
role models of my youth, it’s been yet another paradigm dispelled before
my very eyes …And yet, when it comes right down to it - no matter what, we all
have to define ourselves for ourselves anyway. As always, this can get complicated but hey, it's the times in which we live.
Out of
confusion comes either chaos – or breakthrough. Often it seems to require the
chaos part to push us forward, forcing our hands to embrace a whole new way of
seeing ourselves and living our lives. These times, called The Turning Of The
Ages, surely speak to this phenomena where the signpost markers are all
betwixed and between – where up is over, in is below and most don’t have any
frickin’ idea as to how to act and what to do. This goes for women and men alike.
In keeping
with the saying – Learn to fly when
you’re falling, I’ve found the only way to navigate safely through my Yoniverse
is by being persistently present in the sanctuary of my Heartspace. This has become my only safe haven in the storm. What
does this mean for us men you ask - and how possibly will the majority of us guys
evolve to not only recognize the complimentary aspects of our selves, but come
to Love, embrace and actualize what this can look like in a man?
Who knows!? We're all figuring it out as we go.
It’s a wacky world out here, with such a inter- dimensional Felliniesque quality to life these
daze. It’s not that just the strong will survive; rather the most Heart conscious of
all will keep rising to the surface and flowing along with the currents moving
through the planet now. In order for humanity to survive let alone evolve, the masculine and
feminine dynamic within us all will have to progress and develop and become completely interdependent… and you
ladies thought you had it all rigged just because you have a yoni of
your own.
