Female collective
and the pained female archetype
The original and occasion for the pain female archetype
The pained female archetype in words
The impacts of and working with the pain
Restoring the feminine, not female, leadership role
In working with individuals to access and release their
creative
power to create what they desire, it has been observe that those who
wish to explore the depth and breadth of their creativity power and
creative
ability are faced with having to transit the
human
collective in some way. That, is we each need to face what it means
to be human to be able to step pass thinking of ourselves as being
human to be able to become the conscious creator of our experiences
and the reality of those experiences.
What we experience in facing the
human
collective is unique to each
of us. It is biased by the society in which we incarnated, our genes
and our body, and the spiritual tradition that we were given, if
any, and a myriad of similar issues. In addition, we each have a
unique
intention for our life and that has a strong influences on
how strongly or weakly we are tied to the human collective. Some
seem to be outsiders all their lives and find it a simply matter to
transcend the human collective. Others of us are deeply bonded what
it means to be human and, as such, we have much greater difficult
escaping the pull of the collective.
What has been observed is that although we each face the collective
in our own way unique to what we incarnated to do, males and females
appear to face a different collective. There are facets of what it
means to be a human female that few male really understand and there
are facets of being a male that few females understand. However,
since we each have a
masculine and
feminine
aspect within us, we
will experience both the masculine and feminine collective in some
way to one degree or another. Again exactly what the human male
collective looks like and what the human female collective looks
like is different for each to us but there are been some common
attributes that have surface in women working to transcend the
collective to access the depth and breadth of their creative power.
Because these common attributes have surfaced in such a powerful way
for many, they are discussed here.
Although all women do not seem to face it, it appears many
experience what can be described as a pained female archetype. For
many years what was observed was considered more of an aberration
until it began to show up in several different ways. The “Seven
Chakra Conceptual Areas” and the “Seven Chakra Questionnaire for
Rituals” both talk about and use the
Seven Chakra System as a way to
look at how we connect ourselves into Physical Creation. Females
working with the approach presented in these discussion faced the
issue of what can be called the pained female archetype. It had
surfaced as the individual began to work through the areas between
the third and seventh chakras. What has been observed can best be
described as the need to face the pained female archetype which
causes the individual to expresses herself in pain, anger and the
like. She face it simply for being born a female, not being
understood and not being allowed to be female true to herself.
Exactly what this pain female archetype looks like is described
below.
The original and occasion for the pain female archetype
(Top)
A rare insight in to the effects of the pained female archetype
occurred little over a year into the
journey to find an alterative
way and about a year after the author’s experience of the
Ultimate
Accident. However, what was experienced was not fully understood
because that
minimum set of experience had not yet been gained
relative to the female collective. The burden of this
pain female
archetype carried by the female is oppressive beyond believe and
difficult for both males and females to understand when experienced
consciously.
Several years prior to this experience the author has a rare
opportunity to observe the
creative spirit of an individual being
set free and freely unfolding. The experiences is describe in the
topic entitled “The Unfolding Flower - a Perspective on Health and
Healing.” It centered on the experience of sharing an office with a
28 year old lady face a life threatening battle with cancer. He was
able to observe the transformation an individual goes through when
their creative spirit is bound and then set free. Her whole
personality was transformed and she become one of the most warm and
open individuals the author ever experienced as she over came her
cancer. In the process, the author was allowed to watch the flower
of true human beauty grow from a seed to full blossom. The contrast
between the before and after was truly stunning and even the wold
“indescribable” is insufficient to attempt to describe the dramatic
and profound change in this individual. Ever since that experience,
the author has been able to at a person and their life, spend a few
minutes with them and just know where they are on their life path
between being that spectrum of a dormant or just sprouting seed to a
fully blossoming into their inherent beauty. He was given an
extremely rare gift in experiencing this lady.
About a year after the experience of the Ultimate Accident the
author found himself surrounded by several females in deep
pain. In
knowing where they stood on their path relative to the blossoming of
their heart and knowing that it was possible to
carry the karmic
burden for another giving them time to heal, he
asked the universe to carry their burden and set the conscious
intention to do so. Having not done that before, he realized he may
not know what he was getting into. Being a safety conscious
experimentalist, he also asked the universe to let him remember what
he was doing if he ran into any difficult so that he could terminate
the effort if necessary. It was essence he knew he was the creator
of the experience he was experiencing and he set the intention so as
to not to forget he was the creator of the experience nor forget how he created it.
As the effort proceeded there was a slowly adding of the weight. As
time proceeded the burden got larger and larger to the point of
being overly oppressive and literally psychically crushing. He was
literally being rendered immobile, and as one would suspect, he
forgot his intention since things did not happen immediately. He, as
we all do, was looking for that quick fix. But creation does not
work that way.
Being oppressed and having worked with psychics at the start of his
journey to find an alternative way to life, he called a psychic
friend and asked him what he saw was happening. The author could not
believe the feeling of oppression that he was feeling. The burden
had come upon him gradually and he was not aware of it happening. In
many ways was very representative of the way many female slowly
becomes burdened and crushed by this pained female archetype as
their experiences of life awaken this archetype within female’s
being. The author told his psychic friend he was being oppressed and
the psychic wanted to know what he was doing. However, the author
forgotten the intention he set and told his psychic friend he did
not know what was happening. At the time of the conversation with
his psychic friend, the psychic had no answer for him.
In talking one of the females, who was the focus of his attention,
he suddenly realize that he had set the intention to carry her
burden and in that instant everything vanished. Literally in the
twinkling of an eye, the oppression he was feeling vanished. He had
the instant recognition that he understood her burden and her load.
The author called back to his psychic friend to see if the psychic
saw the change. The psychic did and the psychic said rather
bluntly,“What the hell are you doing?” The author told the psychic
and in telling the psychic, the psychic chided the author for doing
such things “without the proper training.” But the experiment was
vital, the author came to understand the burden a female carries. He
saw no reference for it anywhere and did not seen any material as to
help ease that burden for females. Over the next nine months the
came to see the depth of the female anger contained in the
collective unconsciousness, because he now understood what to look
for.
The second insight about the pained female collective occurred as a
result of coming to understand the meaning of three separate but
very similar experiences, in which what the author would call a deep
angry female archetype made its presence know before him and
revealed herself to him. In may ways she was the angry aspect of
Pele or Kali. She revealed herself in three different individuals as
they transited that space between the third and seventh chakra. What
he saw could probably be best described as the Goddess manifesting
forth in her wrath and the
pain she had felt.
The anger that came out was not so much directed at him personally
but directed through and beyond the author. He would see and feel
the depth of the
pain but he no longer could be harmed. It was as if
the pained Goddess was trying to communicate with the author her
pain. Her energy was not directed to harm as much as to understand
and feel. It was about coming to know the depth of the her pain.
The author knows that he has seen this
pain from two different
perspectives. The first perspective was as described above as that
overall oppressive and crushing psychic feeling of the
mind and the
creative spirit. The second was deep feeling of pain. In being a
feeling, it cannot be described in words but only alluded to through
words. The words below are the best description of the origins of
the pain carried by the pain female archetype that the author
experienced. When you read the world, it is recommended you allow
yourself to feel the pain that goes with those words. Then multiple
it a few million times. That may give you some idea of the pain
carried in the pained female collective archetype.
Three times this archetype had exposed her
pain to the author and it
was only the third time that he understood what he was being shown.
Much of author’s journey and exploration into creativity after that
experience was directed toward understand how to free the
feminine
aspects of our
creative spirit for that is what is keeping our
creative power and creative ability bound.
The pained female
archetype in words
(Top)
The following is what has come into the author’s possession. He as
no idea as to who created it or where it originated. It just came to
him from one whom vented her anger and essentially said, “These are
the things that make me angry.” The author does not know if they are
her world of that of another. But there they are. They are the best
words to date to described what the author felt and the the best
expression he has to date that can be given to describe what is
felt. But again these words do not do justice to the depth of the
pain and feelings. Again, he does not know who the original author
is of this description, but it does represent the level of pain that
he has personally experienced and felt in females and have seen
females experience. You may not accept what the author says about
the pained female archetype, but he knows what he has felt and seen,
it is real.

The impacts
of and working with the pain
(Top)
The author knows without a shadow of doubt that males do not
understand the emotional burden that females carry because they have
denied that feminine part of themselves. Similarly males do not feel
the
pain because of the denied the this
feminine
aspect within. The
Goddess is not absent in the male, it is just that she is not listen
to and denied. The feminine aspect of Creation lies in our
creative spirit and what is
symbolized in our the heart. Until we speak our
truth, naked and fully exposed before our God, we, both males and
females, continually denied that Goddess within each our being, our
inner feminine, and add to her pain. In not speaking our truth we
also deny the
inner masculine within our being. As such we never
create that marriage of the inner masculine and inner feminine as
that
mature inner masculine and
mature inner feminine to reveal our
charisma to the world
The author has seen and felt the
pain of the Goddess spiritually,
mentally, emotionally and physically. It is deep and it is real and
she wants to be healed. To heal this Goddess and create the space
for our
inner feminine to mature, both male and female need to begin
to live and speak their the truth. Only speaking our truth and
maturing our
inner masculine can this pain be released. It is the
dance discussed in “Marriage of the Inner Masculine and Inner
Feminine.”
As we speak our truth and live from what is
symbolized in our heart,
for a while, we will see and feels much more
pain. In living and
speaking the truth of our heart, which is more
feminine than
masculine, the feminine suffering is both symbolically, literally
and physically released. After this pain and this release we can
then live from that space beyond male and female and be happy with
what is. When we live from the
mature inner masculine and
mature inner feminine we understand how to be happy with what is and live
beyond the duality of judgement. We live as creator, neither male or
female, masculine or feminine and we can see the
cause effect chain
behind the events that we or other individuals experiences. Here we
learn the true meaning of compassion and can be compassionate with
that which is.
In learning to see the
pain and anger in both male and female as a
result of this pained female archetype, it is here using
portaging
to carry another's
karma and the guide can be the most useful and/or
the use of someone who can function as
rainmaker for the intention
for our life. As said above, it is possible to carry someone’s
burden. However, we cannot learn the lessons the burden provides for
the individual, only the individual can learn the lesson. All that
we can really do is carry the burden long enough for the person to
heal and rest, then the burden must be given back to them. The best
model for how this is done is based on the portage model discussed
under the topic of “Portaging.”
Restoring the feminine, not female, leadership role
(Top)
Before leaving this topic of the pained female collective archetype,
it is appropriate to look at the feminine, as opposed to the female,
leadership role. Each individual has a
masculine and
feminine
aspect
to their psyche. In general, the masculine principle is to actively
insert, thrust an idea or act in a situation - it is dominate and
active and tends to give, push or take. It tends to come from the
mind, what we mentally know and our past experiences. The feminine
principle is to be passively receptive - it tends to hold or receive
and nurture.
It should be noted that these principles are not “males do this” and
“females do that.” The
masculine principle can be performed by a man
or a woman and similarly, the
feminine
principle can be performed by
a man or a woman. Each individual needs to be balanced in both their
masculinity and femininity. Each must be masculine enough to be able
to thrust out and insert their truth into a situation. Each must be
feminine enough to nourish the needs of the creation. Each must be
able to hold and receive that which is given and that which needs to
be nurtured.
When we talk of the Goddess archetype above, we are talking about
the
pain of the
feminine
aspects of our nature that have suffered
because it has been denied in both male and females. It is just lies
closer to the surface in the female because they perform that
feminine role biologically in the procreation of children. Although
there is a male
collective consciousness representing what it is to
be male and a female collective consciousness representing what it
is to be female, from the position above duality, from the position
of a
detached witness, this separation vanishes. There are only
creative spirits having a physical experience on the physical plane
within a vehicle of their own creation. From this space of the
detached witness, we can be completely in touch with both our
masculine and feminine and the collective masculine and collective
feminine aspects whether we are male or female. It is from within
this understanding one sees that it is essential that both males and
females live from what is
symbolized in their heart and allow their
feminine to hold and receive that which the universe gives. It is
important for our heart, the feminine aspect of our being to intend
our life and the
mind, the masculine aspect, to attend to the
details to make it happen. That is, for our mind to create the space
and way for what is in our heart to happen. It is for mind to attend
to the details of life to unfold what lies within our heart and
creative spirit.
In order to become more in touch with the feminine, it is
appropriate to honor that feminine in ritual and symbolic fashion
that we may be united in both
masculine and feminine in one. It is
not clear what this would look like in all situations, but there
needs to be a female leadership role symbolic of the feminine role
within nature. Males, unless they have transition to living in and
of what is
symbolized in their heart, do not currently understand
that the proper balance of the feminine. Females, although there has
been much enculturation away from their true feminine roles and
being the
nurturing creative energy to holding and receive
appropriate to the unfolding creation, need to some how to reinsert
their feminine way. Not the enculturated understanding and meaning
to be female. Rather, the natural feminine role of knowing how to
hold a space for creation to occur.
Within this understanding, there needs, or should be, a set of
rituals for both males and females that honor the feminine. To
transition the awakening and coming out of the feminine within each
of us. To integrate the feminine with the
masculine in balance to
restore balance. It is for both our
inner masculine and
inner feminine to be allowed to mature to create
our charisma. We can go
as far to say that females should plan something exclusively of, and
for, the feminine. Not female per say, but rather the females
directs, orchestrate and participates in and with the males in order
that the feminine is restored and brought into balance as a co-equal
with the
masculine.
Given the pedigree of the
masculine dominated world - that thrusting
out and acting as opposed to holding and being receptive, there
appears to be a both a symbolic and literal role where the male must
carry and sit with the
pain for having so long denied speaking their
feminine truth. But this is not exclusive of males, for females have
denied their truth as much as the male. They too have their pain of
not speaking their truth. For it was and is the masculine, not the
feminine, portion of ourselves in both male and female that does not
speak but denies our truth. It is interesting in the Genesis story
of Creation in the Garden of Eden, it was Adam, the masculine who
first denied truth.
Although there may be the need for an exclusive female ritual for
the
feminine, but neither female exclusivity or male exclusivity
allows us to ultimately restore the balance between the
masculine
and the feminine. Females have been greatly wounded by males and the
males dominated societies. It appears the female has, in general,
suffered and carries an underlying feeling of anger toward males. It
needs to be noted that this anger is not necessarily directed
towards a particular male, but a particular male maybe its focus.
This anger is an anger stemming from the intense
pain of denial of
the feminine archetype discussed above for having denied our truth
for so long. The female, being the embodiment of this feminine
archetype, knows best how to release and channel this pain as long
as it is not denied. They are the best ones to develop rituals
around this process.
Observation and experience with the pained female archetype is that
the female can hold much more emotional
pain and stress than that
male. In this regard, the female can proportionally channel a much
greater creative emotional energy than the male when she is freed of
the emotional blocks and obstructions. It is that ability to channel
great creative emotional energy that has made the male afraid of the
woman whether they wish to admit it or not. Considering the total
composite sum of physical, emotional, spiritual and mental abilities
and strength, males and females are equal.
Remember, as
creative spirits, and as a flow of energy, all are
equal. Males and females start from the same non dualistic flow of
energy. Strengths in one area are balance out in weakness in other.
What females may not have in physical strength is compensate for in
a mental, spiritual or emotional ability. If one looks carefully,
males and females seem to be about equal in what they are capable of
doing mentally and spiritually when give equal opportunities. Again
there are difference like is spacial orientation for the male brain,
but in generally males and females seem roughly equal in mental and
spiritual ability. It is then in the emotional realm where females
make up for the lack of physical strength as compared to males. When
individuals become older and the male declines in strength, this
emotional strength in the female only seems to grow stronger.
Additionally, when the female body shuts down its biological
reproductive function, the energy flowing to sustain the biological
reproductive function goes somewhere. Unless the ability to feel
have been shut down early in life it goes into the females psychic
and emotional ability. This of course make it advantageous to males
to cause females to shut down their ability to be open to feeling
early in life. This is so that as the female goes through menopause
the energy now made available does not go into emotional and psychic
abilities. One can then see how this
pained female archetype has
keep females from achieving their full potential as a female later
in life.
As physical incarnations, all are equal, but the way the physical,
emotional and mental abilities are proportioned in the incarnation
is where the difference lie. It is only when a part is emphasized
over the whole do you get our inequalities. In considering the sum
of mental and emotional intelligence, subtracting the physical
strength and abilities, the female, in general, is much too capable
and smart for the males. If she steps into her power she can
figuratively and literally “eat them alive”. It is why the male
dominated society only emphasizes the physical and mental because
the emotional would restore the balance between the sexes.
It is not by chance that the Goddess energy has been suppressed for
a long time. It is an extremely strong and powerful energy. The
masculine is a thrusting out and focusing of energy. It is
represented on the physical plane by a physically stronger body
which can bring greater concentrations of physical energy. The
female energy is a very strong nurturing and holding energy It is
what sustains and nurtures Creation/creation. It manifests a
stronger emotional body and appears as a physically weaker body. In
reality, each is strong enough to contain the other, they only need
balanced within each other.
The
masculine principle of the universe operates when an individual
(male or female) is running on a strong internal desire and the
inserts themselves into the situation. In the
feminine principle
(which can be acted out by a male or female) the individual actively
and passionately gives themselves over to becoming a nurturing
presence. They are consumed and eaten by an others needs at one or
more levels. Normally one would expect the masculine (the God)
within to consumes and take. However, to restore balance, it must
become passive and willingly sacrifice itself for the love of
another. The masculine must now nurture the feminine (the Goddess)
within themselves by becoming the food and nourishment of another.
The
feminine within must transform to actively, passionately
willingly eats the one (the
masculine) who gives themselves over for
sacrifice. In doing so, the feminine accept the sacrifice and claim
its Goddessness within by actively consuming the fruits of the earth
which is that passion one has for life. To accept our Godhood
within, we must be willing to eat the passion of another, to eat the
fruits of another. This is not unlike Pele, The Volcano Goddess of
Hawaii, taking and eating the sacrifice of the earth plane when her
lava takes back what she wants. It is why Eve took and ate of the
tree of knowledge for the Goddess it to take, and consume the fruits
of the earth to transform and manifest that fruit into the offspring
which only she, the feminine, is capable of bearing and bringing
life into the world. The feminine must become masculine enough to
take and eat of another in her own truth, true to who she is..
This is what the concept of communion is all about. To actively
gives oneself over to be consumed but one also must be willing to
eat the one being consumed. One must play both roles and be both
roles from time to time to balance the God/Goddess. Both role are
need. Both male and female need to be consumed and to consume so
that each in their own ways, unique to their nature, eat the fruits
of life to transform those fruits into new life forms to sustain the
creative process.
To translate to more of a concrete example, it is for a man to be
empowered and become that God within, he must be willing to
sacrifice himself to be consumed by the needs of another The man who
normally lives in a
masculine psyche, needs to takes their
masculinity and allow it to be in the service to nurture the
feminine transforming the expression of the masculinity into
femininity. The one who normally lives in the feminine psyche, needs
to willingly consume and eat the sacrifice offered therefore
becoming the aggressive masculine. One normally living in a female
psyche, then takes the nurturing female and become the consuming
masculine. In this fashion one transforms the femininity into
masculinity. Balance is then achieved and Godhood and Godesshood is
possible because we can transform at will between either role.
Until we can transform at will, in complete freedom, to either role
we will not be able to truly become the All That Is within. What we
are talking about here is an obviously spiritual, emotional, and
intellectual transformation and it is reflected in serving the needs
of individuals at all levels such that nothing can be denied. The
more one can eat and be eaten by another the more often we become
one with them in time we will become one with all things. In
allowing ourselves to willingly serve another and be served by
another to consume and be consumed, we claim your ability to
transform all things at will. In doing so, we become the creator and
transcend the collective for we stand outside of it and all duality.
