The essential feminine creative
aspect of the
creative/creation process was described in the topic, “The
masculine and feminine aspect of creation” and is provided here.
Additional comments and thoughts on the feminine follow.
It is the joining with the feminine that the energy which fueled the
separation releases and flows back into wholeness. The essential
masculine act is to establish the connection with the feminine for
the energy of creation to dissipate or dissolve the form to flow out
of separation and back into wholeness. The energy flows back into
wholeness according to the path of least resistance in the
environment in which it finds itself. The masculine must hold that
connection with the feminine to keep the energy flowing until the
creation is finished otherwise the energy will be directed into a
separation. The creation/Creation we experience is the flow back
into wholeness.
The feminine is the flow of energy in accordance to the situation
created by the masculine act. The energy flows to provide the
desired experience of creation as it dissipates and returns to the
source. The process is
analogous to the form of a river being lost as it flows and
dissipates in the sea. If we cannot freely dissipate the energy in
the experience we bind and rob ourselves of our own creative power
because the energy is not freed for the next creation.
The feminine aspect of the creative process is seen as the nurturing
and sustaining aspect of consciousness. She holds the form of the
new creation in such a way that the new creation is allowed to grow
and unfold according to its own nature within the environment it
finds itself. The feminine aspect is the return portion of the
outward masculine thrust.
The energy for creation must comes from somewhere. The energy aspect
of energy consciousness supplies the energy for creation when it
flows in response to the desires of consciousness. The energy aspect
of energy consciousness mold itself in response to consciousness. It
is the feminine which supplies the energy according to the mold or
blueprint supplied by the masculine. The feminine aspect of being is
what nurtures and sustains a creation.
The feminine becomes one with the Creation/creation in some way if
not totally reform itself to be the creation. This is a difficult
aspect for many humans to understand since we live in separate
bodies and our physical offspring become separate individuals. Yet,
the fetus in the womb feeds of the mother until it is born into the
world. She and the fetus are one until it is born into the world.
The feminine will always be seen and experienced as giving more than
the masculine.
The masculine act is the choice to hold a thought and allow it to be
the focus of one’s conscious or subconscious attention and awareness
or it is the choice to act on a thought. The feminine is the flow of
energy in accordance to that created by the masculine act. Although
the masculine may need to keep a focused attention and awareness,
its efforts are relatively small relative to the feminine. In any
creative act the masculine action that causes the creation to occur
happens relatively quickly. The essential masculine act is to create
the blueprint and establish the connection with the feminine for the
energy of creation to flow and to hold that connection to keep the
energy flowing until the creation is finished. The feminine will
nourish only in response to what the masculine has created to the
best of who and what it is.
The feminine aspect of the creative process is the nurturing and
sustaining aspect of consciousness to hold the form of the new
creation in such a way that the new creation is allowed to grow and
unfold according to its own nature. When we surrender and are in the
flow with our creative life energy, we are in the feminine aspect of
our being. To do so one must step out of mind and all the opinions,
judgments, and biases that one has been enculturated to carry or
have gained through personal preferences.
Since the feminine act corresponds to the flow of energy, the
feminine is represented by the heart and what one feels. Being in
the heart and energy aspect of Creation is the feminine aspect of
being. It is to nurture and sustains the Creation as it is.
Experienced as a human being energy the feminine creative aspect is
experienced through the heart and what is
symbolized in the heart. In the heart one becomes one with the
flow of energy. To live in the heart one surrenders to the flow of
energy as it is. Here one is so absorbed with the flow and what they
feel that they are out if mind and what mind thinks.
The feminine tends to focus on feelings and willingly surrenders to
the creative process. It is open to the subtle feelings and
sensations without the interference of mind. The feminine effort is
characterized by dancing, nourishing and surrendering to being
present to what is and allowing it to happen. The feminine is not
controlling.
To be in the feelings of the flow and the feminine is to be in the
body. The body sensations are neither of the past or of the future.
They are of the here and now. Surrendering to the feminine aspect of
one’s being allows one to be in the present giving what is needed in
the moment with no though of the past or the future.
A part of the feminine aspect of being actually becomes the
creation. In this way the feminine always gives more than the
masculine. She gives of herself to the creation. The feminine
becomes the creation. The masculine gives to the creation but does
not become a part of the creation. Analogous it is much like having
ham and eggs. The chick makes a contribution of eggs to the meal.
The pig from which the we get the ham becomes the meal. Similarly,
the masculine makes a contribution to the creation but part of the
feminine becomes the creation. Exactly how this occur and how much
of the feminine becomes the creation depends on what is created.
As a minimum the feminine hold the space for a creation to grown and
unfold. To hold the space for another’s free expression and growth
is extremely demanding and draining. The feminine will do that for
her offspring often at the expense of her own life. The feminine
gives so much of itself to the creation process it looks to be
protected and kept in a safe and secure space by the masculine as it
nourishes the creation. This aspect of the
creative/creation process is reflected in nature and gives rise
to such things as secondary sex characteristics. This is discussed
in the topic, “Natures
way of dealing with the issue of the feminine giving more”
An important note needs to be made here when consciousness enters
the picture and the feminine becomes aware of what she feels. If the
feminine does not feel its truth and/or its offspring is being
nourished freely be in the world, she will withdraw her energy. The
feminine seeks a safe place to nurture the creation. The importance
of the role of the
nurturing feminine creative energy in the creative process to
create a safe space for unfoldment cannot be understated. It is
essential.
The
nurturing feminine creative energy is not just the energy the
feminine gives to a creation. It is about the feminine shifting her
shape to give in the way that meets the needs of the creation. The
nurturing feminine creative energy is reflected in the state of “no
mind” where the feminine does what the creation requires and not
what she wants to do.
The feminine is ultimate the one who provides the safe and secure
space for a creation to freely grow and unfold true to itself
analogous to the womb. Analogous to the way a woman’s shape shifts
to adjust to the growing fetus within, the feminine shifts it shape
for the creation she nurtures. The masculine may find the suitable
space for the creation to occur in which to place the blueprint for
the creation but it is the feminine who creates the space, sustains
it and provides the nurturing space. The feminine nourishes and
energizes the life that is unfolding but never looks to make itself
known. She only reveals herself when she is needed to come forth and
to manifest a new creation
What needs to be understood about the feminine is that if the
feminine is not allowed to be true to its nature, it cannot hold the
space to nurture and allow the new creation to unfold according to
its nature. The feminine cannot give what it does not have. If she
does not feel a safe space she cannot give safety to her offspring.
If the feminine is not free to live true to its nature but lives in
denial, it will give denial to whatever it nourishes.
The feminine is energized or catalyzed into action when it loved,
accepted and embraced for who and what it is, and feels safe,
secure, protected and taken care of by the masculine aspect of
being. Only when she feel such love and acceptance can the
nurturing feminine creative energy can flow and properly nourish
her creation. The feminine needs a great deal of trust to function
properly. If it does not feel safe, it cannot and will not allow the
new creation to unfold according to its nature. If trust is lost she
will withdrawal from the creative effort. Additionally, since there
feminine aspect of being appears to give more in any creative
process, the feminine fears being used.
What needs to be noted is that the energy the feminine gives to a
creation can be used by others. In the same way a horse, ox or human
can be harness to direct their life energy into a task, the energy
supplied by the feminine can be similar harness by another. When the
feminine is eaten and consumed in such a manner for another’s
creation it creates separation as opposed to communion. In
separation the predatory aspect of the masculine - feminine
relationship are quite strong and the fear of being used and abuses
is enhanced.
Trust in the creative process is an essential element especially
around the feminine aspect of creativity when consciousness is aware
and able to response to a situation. Since we are talking out human
creativity, we are really talking about wether or not an individual
is able to trust the situation as it unfolds. There are several
issues that arise to challenge our trust and they can become
significant obstacles in a creative endeavor as one moves from the
masculine role of the
creative/creation process to the feminine role. Lost of trust is
probably the single greatest cause in us not being able to create
what we desire Often it tends to center around the size of the
sacrifice the feminine needs to make and what is required of us and
what it means for our lives.
The feminine is in both males and females and we each will need to
step into the feminine aspect of the
creative/creation process to one degree or another for any
creative endeavor. The question is whether or not we are freely able
to surrender to the feminine for the entire process. It is this
single point that is the most challenging in our creative endeavors.
In actually, very few can totally surrender for the entire process.
Those who do surrender to the process tend to do so subconsciously
rather than in conscious awareness. Part of this difficult is by
design and how consciousness sustains its illusion of Creation. It
is the lack of understanding about the feminine creative aspect and
educating individuals about this point that gave rise to the
Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity application entitled “Feminine
Power.”
To totally follow and embrace the feminine aspect of the
creative/creation process consciously for an entire creation
requires more than most are aware and capable of consciously giving.
For the female, it requires stepping into a role that goes well
beyond gestating, birthing and rearing a child. For many females,
because they are fully aware of the burden and demands of nurturing
a physical child, there is the fear that they will be stuck with an
unwanted offspring to nurture that binds their life. For a male, it
requires them to essentially become energetically pregnant and to
gestate, birth and nurture an offspring to consciously learn what is
really required energetically.
For either a female or male to do this, they have to be able to
stand firmly in their own truth and thrust out in the truth of their
own being following their internal guidance. This requires a
mature inner masculine and cannot be done from an
ego space and/or an
enculturated mind. This mature masculine is required to make it
safe for the feminine to freely nurture her offspring. If the male
or female has not learned to nurture their own truth first, they
will become consumed by the
creative/creation process and may become trapped in an sexuality
that may arise as discussed in the topic “Inner
Masculine and Inner Feminine.”
The
feminine is the doorway to the source/Source of
creation/Creation (Top)
Energy is energy and all the
energy of Creation ultimately flows from the same source material of
Creation. The
nurturing feminine creative aspect aspect is about the flow of
energy that sustains us. It is a flow of energy that flows from the
source/Source of
creation/Creation. The energy that sustains us flows directly
from the source/Source of our being and of Creation. Alignment with
this flow of energy which opens us up to the Source of Creation
itself. Hence aligning with feminine aspect of our being puts us at
a door way. Which way we go is our choice.
If we focus our conscious awareness on the truth within this flow of
energy and nurture the expression and free unfoldment of that truth
we access a profound wisdom and knowledge. We access our internal
nurturing feminine creative energy that has the power to give
and sustain life both in ourselves and in another. This energy, in
turn excites and awakens the internal masculine creative energy with
us. It excites the internal masculine to thrust out in the truth of
its own being into the world in passion with the truth of our being.
It is what allows us to live true to ourselves in the world.
However, what we normally is we don’t stay in the feminine to flow
in to the Source and with the Source. To do so requires surrender.
Rather, we jump into mind for a variety of reasons and being to
direct the energy as soon as we see it becoming available. How to
use the feminine to return to the source/Source of Creation is
discussed in the topic, “Returning
to the source/Source through the feminine.”
