The dance of the
masculine
and
feminine is about the tension between complements that is
essential to the
generation of energy in the
creative/creation process. From a
creativity perspective is its also about the
maturation of the masculine and feminine creative aspects of
creation.
The dance of the
masculine
and
feminine is the result of the seeming paradox in the roles they
play in the
creation process. From a
creativity perspective, the
masculine cannot fulfill its role unless it is sufficient nurtured
by a mature
feminine nurturing energy. Similarly, the feminine
cannot mature and freely and properly nurture a creation unless a
safe and secure space is maintained by a creatively mature
masculine. Hence a
seeming Catch 22 exists. Both the masculine and
feminine need a mature opposite to achieve maturation when that
mature opposite rarely exists. Why a creatively mature masculine and
creative mature feminine rarely exist is a result of the
loss of our
ability to freely and spontaneously enter creative play.
In Physical Creation we see physical life reaching maturity without
the need of anything other than the essential nutrients for its
growth. The same is true for the
masculine
and
feminine aspects of being. They too can reach maturity if they
are supplied the properly nutrients in sufficient quantity.
The issue with
masculine
and
feminine as it applies to our
creative
power and creative ability is that consciousness is what matures. To
mature consciousness, it needs to be free to spontaneous play and
experience itself in
creative play, especially within its own
creative imagination. However, most are unaware that
consciousness can mature and even less know what it takes for a
consciousness to mature. Gaining knowledge and developing the
mind do not mature consciousness. In fact, the accumulation of
knowledge can block the maturation of consciousness for
mind becomes too full to be open to experience. Similarly,
thinking
based on what it knows can become an addiction to not allow consciousness to feel what it needs to
feel.
Mind is only a property and one aspect of consciousness. A mature
consciousness is an aware and an awake consciousness but it also is
a conscious creator and takes responsibility for what it
experiences. It does not seek to make another responsible for what
it has responsibility for creating. Think of the development of any
life form. When it reaches maturity it is able to function on its
own and reproduce its species. For consciousness to mature, it can
function on its own,
whole and complete unto itself,
and can take responsibility for what it experiences to consciously
create what it desires on its own.
The answer to the
seeming catch 22
and the unavailability of the
mature masculine or
feminine lies in a dance. It is a dance where the creative
masculine and creative feminine alternatively leads and surrenders
to the other
as needed by a shared creation. When properly done each catalyzes the other to grow, unfold
and reach maturity.
The dance of the
masculine
and
feminine is about learning the dance of the
masculine thrust and then
surrendering to the needs of the feminine to flow with the
feminine nurturing energy. It is for the feminine to surrender to
nurture the masculines so it can thrust and then lead to nurture the
creation created by the masculine thrust. It is for one to learn to
surrender to the other internally and externally as required by the
creation.
Creation is the result of the
masculine.
But, a creation cannot manifest and be sustained without the
feminine. To create, consciousness must choose to become
masculine by stepping into
mind and choose to
thrust into
creation/Creation by pursuing its
desire. Yet, no creation can occur unless, in some way, it is
nurtured by a feminine presence providing a nurturing creative
energy within a
safe and secure space. In this regard, to nurture a
creation, it is essential for conscious to choose to act as the
masculine to create a safe and secure space for the feminine. Then
choose to surrender to her needs in a way that safe and secure space
is maintained for as long as needed.
But, as stated above, the creative
masculine
cannot properly thrust to create and/or create a
safe and secure space unless it is properly nurtured by the
feminine nurturing energy. Similarly, the
feminine cannot properly nurture any creation unless she is in a
sufficiently safe and secure space that allows her to give as
required to the creation, including to nurture the masculine so It
can
thrust into
creation/Creation.
The
feminine must initially surrender to the
masculine
to nurture the
masculine thrust only to take the lead to nurture the
creation as the creation requires. Then, return to nurture the
masculine. The dance is for each to learn to surrender to the lead
of the other both internally and externally based on the
requirements of the creation and “pull” each other up and into
maturity.
This dance is a dance that occurs internally and externally. It
occur internally within our being between our own
masculine
and
inner feminine and occurs externally as a dance we each need to
do outside of our being with others. We each must begin to see the
role of the
masculine
and
feminine and learn how to have our
inner masculine aspect of our
being create that safe space for our inner feminine aspect to birth
and nurture the life that we wish to have and/or experience
manifested externally.
We each need to see and learn to intuitively understand how the
inner masculine and
inner feminine creative powers operate within our own being to
create what we desire. Then as we create within, we will bring that
creative power outward. More important, conscious creation cannot
occur unless the inner feminine is understood and honored in the way
she needs to be honored. Society tends to
castrate the inner
masculine, such that we never learn our individual truth and
properly nourish our inner feminine. We cannot get externally what
must come from within. Most seek to be nurtured externally when the
nurturing must come from within. Unless the inner masculine is
strong enough to speak and defend it truth internally
against the
programming received by the mind, it cannot adequately create the space for the inner
feminine such that the necessary inner nurturing occurs.
Our problem is that we each have an
inner masculine and an
inner feminine that is reflected externally. In this regard, we
seen our need existing outside ourselves rather than something found
within. We each must learn to effectively do the inner dance and
bring our inner masculine and inner feminine to maturity. This inner
maturation should occur before we become physically mature. However,
because most of us lose our ability to spontaneous and freely
creatively play, we lose the ability to effectively move between the
inner masculine and inner feminine in the way they need to be
nourished. As a result, we end up look externally for what we lack
within. But another cannot give what we must give ourselves.
For example, whatever, we seek externally reflects the
masculine
aspect of our being and in some way represents
what mind seeks. Our
mind looks for and desires beauty, gentleness, pleasure and the
like. Whatever it is that we see externally is what we think we
want. It is what we desire that will cause our masculine to be
aroused to desire and to thrust out to create a new life. Although
it appears we seek nurturing externally which can be interpreted as
the
feminine because the masculine aspect of our being is aroused to
thrust out, what ever we perceive externally to us reflects the lack
of our
inner masculine aspect of our being.
What we seek externally is some form of nurturing, to one degree or
another, from another. That which nurtures, in whatever form it
takes, is the
feminine. It is the feminine who will create the space to bring
forth the life within our being and that
our mind desires. Yet, what
we seek externally is rarely safe to nourish in the way we need to
be nourished. Unless she is in a safe and protected by some
masculine
presence of the feminine cannot give what we need. If, however, we
can learn the masculine and feminine dance within and bring both our
inner masculine and
inner feminine to maturity, we can, on our own, create the space
for ourselves. In knowing how to create the space for ourselves we
can create it for another. We can become a
rainmaker. However it is
much easier to create such a space for another with a
perfectly
matched masculine and feminine pair. The
presence of another is
always valuable to address the unexpected.
There are two ways to perceive realty. One is a very
masculine
and thrusting way characteristic of
mind which the preferred way for
most and socially encouraged. The other way is a very
feminine, nurturing and support characteristic of what is
traditionally ascribed to the heart. It is the feminine power that
comes from within our own being which gives a true source of
happiness and fulfillment for it is what nurtures our being. It is
that we truly "feel" and which allows us to manifest what is within
our hearts. It is an intuitive ability to know beyond what mind
knows and believes and transcends time and space. We develop it by
nurturing our
inner masculine and learning to speak and live our
truth
The
feminine aspect is what nurtures and sustains and which is
within each of us. Feminine power seems to be more characteristic
and inherent to women than men. The reason for this is the way most
women can seemingly give and nurture her child even when her
mind
says she does not want to do so. However, each of us have within our
being a
masculine
aspect and a feminine aspect independent of whether we are male or
female. The function and roles of the masculine aspect and feminine
aspect are related to the biological functions of the male and
female but they are actually independent and separate from our male
and females roles society.
It needs to be noted, to choose to
surrender to the flow of energy
and allow our feelings to lead is still part of the
masculine thrust
for in its surrender it is still thrusting to create what it desires
but it does so in the way the creation requires. If the
masculine
does not surrender the creation is not nourished or is not properly
nourished. In this case the creation will never meet its full
potential. When the masculine surrender is does not adequately occur
the experience of consciousness is as though the consciousness is
unable to create what it desires. In this case someone or something
keeps robbing it of it creative power. In reality, consciousness is
only robbing itself for it continually interferes with its own
creation.
Ultimately the dance requires that the
masculine
must transforms itself into the
feminine. It must learn to relinquish control and surrender and
hold the space and provide the nourishment for the feminine aspect
of its being, or the energy aspect of one’s being, to manifest the
freedom to flow into the form it desires. Similarly, the feminine
must transform into the masculine to seek her truth and effectively
nurture the
inner masculine and what it is creating in line with her
truth.
This dance is independent of the sex of the individual. It depends
on what aspect of the individuals’s being that needs to be
transformed and not whether that
masculine
aspect is in a male physical body or a female physical body. Yet
this dance does not end. It will continue to occur and be required
for as long as Creation exists.
