What? What the hell is my Divine Feminine? I felt a little apprehensive and even defensive about looking at my feminine beingness. Is this some kind of Goddess BS that everyone goes on about on facebook and other social media sites?
I was confused. The thought of being soft and vulnerable rubbed me the wrong way.
I remember the day vividly. I was having a chat with one of my very favourite people, Tom, a 50-something-year-old entrepreneur I had met at a spiritual weekend some years back.
Once again, I was telling him my man worries. "He did this and he was like that". That’s when Tom said: "All a man wants is to be loved and accepted the way they are".
For years I felt like I needed to live predominantly through my masculinity. For me it was a safety net; a glass wall I could see through, but no-one could touch me. I guess that was my way of protecting myself and making sure that no man could ever hurt me, like they had done when I was a child.
I had lived through my defensive, offensive and protective masculinity, and as a result, any relationship I had entered with a man ended sooner or later because the imbalance of the masculine-feminine energy.
I felt it was time to just let it go. I Could I be softer? Could I be more allowing, more feminine? And would that expose me to tragedies in life or would it allow me to grow to the full love and unconditional understanding I wanted to experience?
Maybe qualities that I used to see as weaknesses I could now see as strengths.
What would the world look like if I saw it through the eyes of the strength of the Divine Feminine?
See you soon!
"All a man wants is to be loved and accepted the way they are".
ReplyDeleteYour friend is right in this respect. There's is just one little detail, that has to be paid attention too:
Some people change. Sometimes silently, over a longer timeframe... In my case, it was my husband who changed, and after years of trying to love him also as the person he has become, I have to admit, that I cannot adapt and make my own self 'disappear' any more.
It is very sad to realize this 'little detail'.
On the other hand, it's very empowering. Nothing is as certain as change and evolution.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to adapt. People change and have a right to it. People evolve and have a right to it. People set boundaries and have a right to it.
It is what it is and then you take it from there. Much love and strength for your explorations, tphstables! xx
... You are right, I didn't have to adapt! But - he expected me too, and didn't accept the fact that I have some personal needs and rights too!
