Understanding the masculine and feminine aspect
Within the
creative/creation process there is a
masculine
and a
feminine
aspect. They arise as a reflection and interpretation of the roles
and function played by consciousness and energy in the
creative/creation process and permeate every aspect of
creation.
In overview, to follow what
mind thinks is to use the
masculine aspect
of creation. The masculine way of manifesting a thought is to act on
the thought by inserting that though into reality by our actions. It
is to act based on what mind knows. Using the
feminine
aspect of creation is to put that thought into the fertile field
of our being and grow that thought into a form in the way we would
plant and seed in a fertile field. The feminine way to create is to
act based on our
intuitive guidance
and what intuitively arises from the unseen
For most of our creative efforts, the issue of understanding the
masculine
and
feminine
aspects of the creative process will never arise. They will arise
only when we choose a creative endeavor where what we desire to
create causes us to totally change our life and the identity form
which we have been experiencing life. If the masculine and feminine
aspect do arise in a creative effort probably the issue of sexuality
will also arise in one form or another. Using sexuality in creative
endeavors is addressed in the topic, “Creative
Sexuality.”
The clutter
around the masculine and feminine aspects of creation
(Top)
There is what can best be
described as a clutter and messiness around the understanding of the
masculine and
feminine aspects of the creation. It is not a
confusion because the basic understanding is present but the
understanding is inaccurate for two primary reasons.
The first reason is that
mind characterizes what it experiences
based on the experiences it has had. We each are part of a
creative/creation process. We are the ongoing unfolding product
of that creative/creation process. Being within the process we can
not fully see the process for what it is. Our mind as we know it,
came into existence as a result of the process. Remaining in the
mind, that is in what we think and believe, does not allow us to
stand outside the process to see it for what it is. Yet we use the
process that created us and sustains us to create life and propagate
life without any really understanding of the process. What mind does
is use its experiences to characterize, explain or understand what
it experiences. It looks to what it knows about the male and female
to understanding the creative roles of the
masculine and
feminine.
This then leads to the second issue.
The second reason is that we come to understand the function and
roles of the
masculine and
feminine as a result of the social
customs of our society and personal experiences with the male,
female and sexuality as a human being. Social customs and our
personal experiences do not accurately portray their role and
function.
To understand the
masculine and
feminine creative aspects of the
creative/creation process several things are necessary. One is
to look at the creative/creation process energetically much the way
one would look how a battery as an energy source is examined. The
second thing is to realized consciousness experience
creative/creation process from within the process. Such a
perspective cannot give and accurate picture of the entire process.
The third is that it is necessary to review our own individual view
of what the masculine and feminine mean. It is then necessary to
compare our understanding of the masculine and feminine with their
creative function and the meaning we carry as these meanings relate
to the role and function of a male and female in our society. The
two meanings are related, but different.
The
masculine and feminine aspects
of the creation process (Top)
The most basic
creative/creation process is and
ebb and flow. It is separation followed by recombination back
into a wholeness. There is a localization of energy into what is
perceived by consciousness as a form - a form as small as a thought
or feeling, as expansive as a universe. Then there is the dissipate
of that form back into a
non localized energy.
The process is never ending and on going. What causes the energy to
localize in any given form is the environment in which it finds
itself and the awareness or unawareness of consciousness associated
with the process.
The
masculine aspect of the creative process is any thrusting by
consciousness to create, to mold reality into a new form. The
masculine act is to cause energy to localized into a given form. As
perceived from the human perspective, the masculine thrust into
separation occurs is experienced in an orgasmic fashion, explosive
or, at least rather quickly.
The
thrusting by the masculine to create what it desires creates a
separation from what is. The
desire that is held creates a tension. The separation creates a
tension between the
masculine and
feminine that fuels or energizes
the creation. It is a tension for that energy which has been thrust
out to return to the wholeness. That separation is then followed by
a feminine flow of energy back into wholeness.
What gives rise to the
masculine thrusting out actually occurs
behind the seen in the unseen is a process unto itself. All we see
is the birth and separation. We see the creation in form. The energy
flowing back into wholeness is what animates the creation we
experience. As such we only consciously experience one half of the
creation process.
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.
To
thrust with the masculine is to create separation. To flow with
the
feminine is to create wholeness and remove separation. Without
the
masculine to connecting with the feminine separation continues.
The separation is experienced as some type of a longing. It is
expressed as the longing for something external to itself to
complete itself. It is this longing which causes the desire to
create to arise. It causes a desire to seek that which will satisfy
the longing. The longing creates a tension. The greater the tension
the greater the energy and passion to create that can be generates.
It is the passion or energy for creation which ultimate arises from
the longing that is made available in the joining of, or a coupling
of, the
masculine and
feminine creative aspect. For any creative
endeavor we undertake the energy and passion we feel is what allows
us to create what we desire. The energy is allowed to flow to
dissipation only as the result of a joining of the masculine and
feminine. Ultimate, all our creative energy and passion ultimately
arises in the longing to join the inner masculine and inner feminine
and then have the passion expressed externally.
Energy consciousness and the masculine and feminine
(Top)
Energy consciousness is neither
masculine or
feminine. It
assumes a masculine characteristic when it becomes aware and awake
and chooses to act. The consciousness that becomes aware and aware
does not need to become aware that it exists apart or separate from
the rest of Creation as an
individuated consciousness. As long as it chooses for or against
something the masculine aspect arise as separate from the energy
giving rise to the choice. If consciousness awakes and even becomes
aware of its existence as separate from Creation it will not step
into the masculine - feminine separation until it choose for or
against something. The masculine and feminine aspects of
creation/Creation arise as a result of choice as oppose to
remaining totally with what is as it is.
The
masculine is the choice to hold a thought, and allow that choice
of thought to be the focus of one conscious or subconscious
attention and awareness, or the choice to act on a thought. The
masculine is responsible for Creation. The masculine is the cause of
creation/Creation.
The experience of
creation/Creation is the
feminine. The feminine is to surrender
to what is as it is. It is to flow with creation/Creation unfolding.
When we step into what we feel and allow what we feel rather than
controlling with the
mind, we are in the feminine.
Understanding the masculine and feminine aspect
(Top)
Each of us have a
masculine and
feminine aspect within our being. To truly understand and access the
creative powers of the universe we will have to experience both
these roles and their function. Directly experiencing the masculine
and feminine is quite different than intellectually understanding
them. In doing so, most will be very surprised as to what they will
be asked to experience in one way or another.
For most, an experience of the
feminine can be terrifying to their
enculturated mind and it will step in with it judgements and
preference early in the process to regain control. Creation requires
one to step into the unknown. To stay in the alignment with the
feminine for the duration of a creation process takes great trust.
Most cannot say with the process and trust. The seek the known. Most
look for external assurances they will remain safe and in doing so
step out of the creation process as it needs to unfold.
To understand the
masculine and
feminine creative aspects, you will
find it necessary to give up or suspend what you think and believe
about what it means to be male and female both from a biologically
perspective and a social and cultural perspective. It will cause you
to give up what you think about what it means to be masculine or
feminine including your ideas about sexuality. To the best of your
ability, you will need to purge yourself of what you have
experienced relative to both the masculine and feminine and how you
came to think and believe what you do about these subjects. You will
need to face these topics as completely new as possible.
In experiencing the
masculine and
feminine creative aspect, you will
find parts will be much like the past and what you have experience.
But, most often, with a new twist. Much will also be different and
the implications quite profound. Your exploration will take you to
understand why
mind is considered masculine and the heart and what
is
symbolized in the heart, as feminine. It will shed some light on
why many of the concepts of God are masculine and the earth and our
bodies are seen as feminine.
