Male and Female Energies

In Part 1, I discussed how the recent challenging of the roles males and females play is part of our evolutionary growth,but that it has caused what have been our traditional roles to become somewhat blurred, causing further confusion in how to we should think, be, and act towards each other and in the world. I also explained that part of the reason for much of the confusion and conflicts between males and females has been, and still is, the misunderstanding of our male and female energies, the understanding of their interrelationship, and how to use them as they were intended. This Imbalance Is a Left-over from Our Past The world we have grown up in has focused on, been built upon, and promoted males – men who held the alpha, doer, protection-oriented energy. It denounced males with a dominant female energy and females with a dominant male energy. This created pushes-and-pulls between the sexes. Conflicts and inequalities arose. Imbalances followed.  And this all perpetuated itself. In reality, we are all gods and goddesses. And when we access the fullness of our true natures we express our godliness out into the world – with confidence and integrity. When part of our true nature is suppressed, our dominant energy can become corrupted and negatively affect our attitudes and behaviors. As those with the dominant male alpha energy suppressed the female energy within them, the power it held often morphed into aggression, control, and cruelty. They became power-hungry. Those with the dominant female energy not only had to suppress the male energy within themselves, they were often the target of the controllers and aggressors. Their passive nurturing qualities often transformed into neediness, deviousness, passive-aggressiveness, and victim mentalities. They lost their sense of empowerment. Many of both genders suppressed the parts of themselves that did not line up with societal norms. Some overrode their dominant energy and embraced the traditional male and female roles in an effort to protect themselves. Others ignored the supportive energy and fell prey to the negative aspects of the dominant energy. They weren’t embracing the fullness of their true natures. (This article/blog post is based on concepts in my books, Your Journey to Peace ... and my upcoming  Relationships in an Evolving World.

As power and control became the mainstay of society, little importance was placed on the subtler aspects of living. The feminine energy was ignored in those who held it as a supportive energy and muffled in those who held it as a dominant energy. We became hardened. Life became hard and harsh. (Below is a link to a YouTube video to help us embrace our feminine energies). This has been our history and we hold remnants of the reasons we choose to suppress within our cellular memory. This is why power, control, greed, [...]

How we view and what the male and female energies mean is changing. Over the past century the lines between how males and females behave have been challenged. This is part of our evolutionary growth, but it has caused what have been our traditional roles to become somewhat blurred. Part of the reason for much of the confusion and many of the conflicts between males and females has been, and still is, the misunderstanding of our male and female energies, the understanding of their interrelationship, and how to use them as they were intended. The male and female energies are the epitome of the duality that underlies all aspects of the Universe. The concept of Yin/Yang in the Chinese philosophy suggests that this duality is made up of opposing forces - which at the same time are complementary, and that these contradictory forces need to be in balance, otherwise chaos ensues. We all hold both male (doer, builder, protector*) and female (passive, nurturer, communicator*) energies within our beings, however, this has nothing to do with being in a male or female body. They are energetic vibrations – and neither is more important than the other. (*These are not perfect examples, but are generalities and simple guidelines). And even though we all do hold both of these energies within us, we usually have an overriding male or female energetic slant. The degree to which the standard male and female qualities manifest within us is influenced by our individual personalities, as well as by our sexual orientation – no matter which body we are in. Many in male bodies hold the dominant male energy, while others hold the dominant female energy. Similarly, many in female bodies hold the dominant female energy, while others hold the dominant male energy. Within both sexes, those who have held the opposite dominant energy to what society has deemed appropriate have been shunned, or worse - especially when they expressed their sexuality as true to themselves. Our dominant energy is intended to be our main way of being in the world, with the secondary one – the less prevalent energy, supporting it. (This article/blog post is based on concepts in my books, Your Journey to Peace ... and my upcoming  Relationships In an Evolving World. About Journey ... Here    About Relationships ... Here ) When we are emotionally balanced and being true to our self the positive features of the overriding energy lead the way, with the secondary one influencing it. It keeps it in check. Although diametrically opposed, these male and female energies both hold the same value. They are intended to complement and support each other. Those holding the dominant male energy are intended to boldly create, while still maintaining a compassionate approach. Those with the gentler female energy are to bring nurturing to the world, while remaining empowered. Taking into account the strength of the overriding energy, both of these energies are required to maintain somewhat of a balance between doing and being. Properly allowed, the [...]
