It is said in topics “Inner
masculine and the mature inner masculine” and “Inner
feminine and the mature inner feminine”: What is suppose to
happen is that there is a marriage between our mature inner
masculine and our mature inner feminine. That marriage creates an
inner satisfaction that never runs dry no matter what is happening
in our lives. Since it is internally generated, we have fulfillment
in life from within. That does not mean we do not cherish external
relationships. Rather, we do not need the other individual for our
inner fulfillment. We desire to share creation with them. We desire
to share from our abundance and our inner fulfillment. As such we do
not seek to own them or in any way hold that other individual. We do
not seek to have them provided what must come from within our own
being. We can literally give them the space of freedom to be free to
who they are.
For
our creative spirit within our being to truly express itself
creatively there must be a marriage at the deepest levels of our
being. A marriage between the
inner masculine and the
inner feminine. The goal of the inner marriage is to create a
new life and a new world within one’s being that becomes manifested
externally. It is about an understanding within ourselves where the
inner masculine is able to thrust out in its own truth and the inner
feminine is allowed to nurture its
offspring in the world. That in
turn brings forth the gifts we carry that have been called our
charisma. In learning to become mindful and aware of our
thoughts we
can see which arise from the truth of our being. That awareness in
turn allows us to nurture our truth and create this marriage.
In the discussion of the
creative/creation process that if we compare the steps of the
creative/creation process with our lives as our lives as an
unfolding creation we will find
our lives
are a superposition of at
least two such processes. One process is the creation of
physical human life. It is a shorter duration than the life that is
created. It runs the span of the desire to procreation through
procreation, maturity of the offspring and its desire for the
offspring to procreate. It is a creation process about the
continuation of human life. The second process is about
our incarnation and the experience our awareness has of physical
Creation. This process overlays the first. It spans the desire which
causes us to incarnate and goes through the death of the body and
the creation of a new desire.
The discussion on
our incarnation talks about the desires of Physical Creation for
our life and the desires our awareness has for a physical experience or
the experience of Physical Creation. The marriage of the
inner masculine and inner feminine is what allows these desires
to be fulfilled. Without that marriage we will be unable to fully
accomplish what we incarnated to do.
The
inner feminine must nurture the truth within ourselves so that
the
inner masculine can thrust out into the world to express that
truth true to ourselves. That marriage results in an
offspring which will take on a life of its own. The marriage of
the mature inner masculine and the mature inner feminine results in
an offspring what has been called the
charisma
- wonderful gifts, talents and wisdom, and a
passion to express those talents that arise from the depth of the
individual not normally experienced unless one’s truth is accessed
and expressed. In learning to become mindful and aware of our
thoughts we can see which arise from the truth of our being. That
awareness in turn allows us to nurture our truth and create this
marriage.
How the
inner marriage works (Top)
The masculine thrusts out into the
world to create. It seeks to
join with the feminine to create a flow of energy that will
nurture and sustain the creation. The
feminine seeks a safe and
secure space in which to nourish her creation according to its
needs.
We each are a creation unfolding. There is a masculine aspect to our
being which is reflective of the desire of a consciousness. [You are
free to choose who you think that consciousness is that desired you
to come into existence] That desire is the
intention for our life. It resulted in our life and the
consciousness that created us seeks to fulfill that desire with our
life. The desire, which thrusts us into life, is to fulfill the
intention for our life and is reflected in our mature
inner masculine. As discussed in the topic “Our
Incarnation,” it is the experience of the author the
desire of the consciousness that created our life is a combination
of the desires of our unique awareness and the desires of
the consciousness which created physical Creation. That
is, we are a
creation within a creation fulfilling desires at several levels.
The desire of consciousness to create our life resulted in a flow of
energy that created and sustains us. It is the energy that animates
our life. That flow of energy is the
inner feminine.
If the
inner masculine is mature and secure in its identity, it will
act to fulfill the
intention for our life. If the
inner masculine is weak, it will be overpowered by the
enculturated mind we develop in life as a result of the
experiences we have in life. That enculturated mind then takes over
control of our actions and what we create.
If the
inner feminine is mature, it is free to flow unencumbered and
will inspire and excite the
inner masculine to action in a
creative passion to fulfill the
intention for our life. If the inner feminine is not free to
flow it will not flow in a way that inspires and excites the inner
masculine. Rather she responds to creating what the
enculturated mind directs. If the encultured mind is responding
to the external world, the external world essentially controls the
energy of the inner feminine and uses it for its purposes. Most
enculturation and social actions tend to
creatively castrate the inner masculine.
The mature masculine is needed to protect the
inner feminine from the
enculturated mind. It protects the nurturing energy of the inner
feminine from being used and abused. It prevents it from being sent
to create something that does not serve the inner being. The mature
masculine is what protects the space the inner feminine creates to
nurture her creation. We can feel the struggle between the
inner masculine and our mind when they are not aligned and are
often lead to numb what we feel. That in turn, leads to addictions
and addictive behaviors.
When the
inner feminine is not forced by the
enculturated mind to do its bidding, she is free to call forth,
excite,
and nourish the
inner masculine. As the inner masculine begins to mature it
learns to protect the inner feminine in the way she needs to be
protected. That in turn, allow the inner feminine to further nurture
the inner masculine and a “boot strapping” starts were the inner
masculine and inner feminine pull each the other toward maturity and
the marriage they were meant to have. This is something that cannot
be done for us. It is something we must learn to do following our
inner guidance and the
fulness of our being.
The
desire for the beloved/Beloved is for our inner masculine (Top)
Whether one is male or female, it is here in the relationship of the
inner masculine and
inner feminine we find the origins of the
beloved/Beloved. Whether one sees the beloved as male/masculine
entity or a female/feminine entity, what they really seek in the
beloved/Beloved is a soft nurturing feminine. It is a nurturing
feminine presence that allows them to be free to grow and unfold
true to ourselves.
The actual journey for the
beloved/Beloved one undertakes can be experienced one of two
ways if not both. Each way is a journey to find someone or something
who will nurture them in the way they need to be nurtured. If the
feeling and longing for the beloved/Beloved is seen as being
supplied by a physical being, a male or female, the journey will be
one of looking for that “perfect” soul mate. If the feeling and
longing for the beloved/Beloved is seen as being something spiritual
or unseen, the journey will be a journey to find God or one’s
understanding of God. Those who seek the beloved as that strong
presence that will guide their life are actually seeking their own
inner feminine. It looks as thought they are seeking the masculine
to tell them what to do or to guide their life but they really seek
the inner feminine.
All we seek in the
beloved/Beloved is only a way to have our own
inner feminine free to nurture our being in the way it needs to
be nurtured. Yet for our own inner feminine to be free to nurture
our being in the way it needs to be nurtures we need our
inner masculine. In reality in seeking the beloved/Beloved, what
we seek is our own mature inner masculine. It is the inner masculine
which provided the safe and secure space for the inner feminine to
be free to nurture the creation and allow her nurturing energy to
freely flow as needed.
What this means is that the individual needs to find their own truth
and be able to thrust out into the world in that truth. That then
creates the space for their own
inner feminine to nurture their own being in the way it needs to
be nurtured. To thrust out with the
inner masculine is to break free of the encultured mind and the
external world to freely live the truth of one’s being. That is what
creates the safe space for the inner feminine to become who she
needs to become. Hence we all seek the inner masculine when we look
outward for the soft feminine nurturing energy.
What needs to be understood is that for the
inner masculine to become mature to thrust out in its own truth
to guide us in life it needs to be properly nurtured by the
inner feminine. Those who seek the beloved/Beloved need to learn
to love themselves and give to themselves in the way they need to be
nourished and nurtured. Then in that nourishing and nurturing, the
inner feminine can give to the inner masculine what it needs to
become excited and thrust out into the world in its own truth. This
journey is typically reflective of both males and females who have
not accessed their own internal creative power.
Our
internal creative power arises from alignment with the flow of
our
creative life energy, the feminine aspect of our being.
External
creative power is accessed through the experiences of mind and our
understanding of how external creation appears to work. Ultimately,
we can
access creative power through our internal creative power. It is
done through
surrender to the flow of energy that sustains us and flows
from the
source/Source
of Creation and follows what we feel. Honoring the intuitive
guidance we access this creative power. Or, we can access creative power by our
enculturated mind which has been trained to do our bidding in
the external world and harness our inner feminine to supply the
energy to do that bidding. In the end, our creative power ultimately
comes from accessing the inner feminine and learning how to use the
feminine power and feminine aspect of the
creative/creation process
to support our actions in the world.
Marriage of the inner masculine and inner feminine
(Top)
As we focus on the truth within
our creative spirit, the wisdom within the flow of energy that
sustains us, and nurture the expression and free unfoldment of that
truth, we access our internal
feminine nurturing creative energy. This energy, in turn excites
and awakens the internal masculine creative energy to create life.
It excites the
inner masculine to thrust out into the world in
passion with the
truth of our being. It is what allows us to live true to ourselves
in the world.
In essence what happens is a marriage occurs which results in an
offspring. The
inner feminine which nurtures the unfoldment of our truth unites
with the
inner masculine. The inner feminine excites and catalyzes the
inner masculine such that a new life comes forth from within the
individual which desire to thrust out into the world. It is a life
different than which we are enculturated to live or that we live
simply as a mammal surviving in creation. Usually, it is very much
different if not extremely different than what our mind would think
and/or choose. The actions of this offspring from the mature inner
masculine and mature inner feminine in the external world is what
allows our charisma to manifest in the world.
All that is needed for the offspring of the inner marriage to
succeed is for someone or something, to call it forth to create life
and give it the space to do so. Here the concept of the
muse is most appropriate for it is real phenomenon. The muse is that
external focus that stimulates us and excites us and keeps us
motivated to push into the world. Although the inner marriage allows
us to operate and find a source of energy that never runs dry to
move into the world from within our own being, we need an external
focus. The muse is that coupling point or
grounding point were the
offspring of the inner marriage is more or less exactly matched
with a point in the external world. The phenomenon of the muse to
call forth our creative spirit and
creative passion is what lies behind using mantras, objects of
focus, individuals of focus, and the like in meditation.
The
passion that arises from our inner marriage of the mature inner
masculine and mature inner feminine is like a rocket with no way to
control once it is ignited. When ignited, it will take off and go in
a very pointed predetermined direction based on the
intention for our life. The direction in which it travels is not
necessarily seen by many as going in a direction that will serve
anyone. Often the main goal of the external authority is to get the
passion and offspring from this inner marriage harnessed to do its
bidding. However, without the proper focus when ignited, it can be
extremely difficult to
harness. More often than not, rather than creating the space for
the inner marriage of the mature inner masculine and mature inner
feminine and allowing our gift to freely unfold, a space is created
by authorities to essentially
castrate the inner masculine so the inner feminine can be
harness in the manner desired.
Many see the
inner masculine and
inner feminine becoming tied to the
intention for our life as
losing freedom in life. How freedom is provided to the creative
spirit in nurturing an offspring is that the offspring allows the
feminine nurturing aspect of the creative spirit to be fulfilled and
fully expressed in its role. The masculine aspect of the creative
spirit is achieved in thrusting out into the world true to itself
fulfilling its role. The feminine aspect is fulfilled when it is
allowed to nurture its desired creation, not the creation of another
or others. That is, the creation that comes from the marriage of the
inner masculine aspect thrusting true to itself and the inner
feminine aspects being true to itself to nurture the offspring of
the inner masculine and inner feminine. That offspring then becomes
our gift to the world. This offspring is the embodiment of the
dream of the heart and is one, if not, the reason for
our incarnation and purpose for being here. Fulfillment of that
intention provides an
inner satisfaction, a fulness of being and creates
a life worth living. As with any birth, often a midwife or its
equivalent is necessary and someone like a nanny to help and protect
that offspring until it is strong enough to stand on its own feet in
the world. The role of the midwife and nanny is reflected in the
dream midwife and dream nanny.
The
masculine and
feminineboth desire to give to their child.
However the masculine perceives its child slightly different than
the feminine. The masculine is about thrusting. It sustains itself
in thrusting. It will see its offspring as the vehicle it creates
which allows it to thrust its truth into the world. The feminine is nurturing.
The child of the feminine is something which comes from the feminine’s own body. The feminine in some way becomes the creation.
She is tied differently to the creation than the masculine. Her
energy becomes the creation and she sustains her offspring until it
become an entity unto itself. The masculine does not see its energy
becoming and sustaining the creation for it desires to thrust. It
will use the energy of the feminine to sustain its creation and
enslave what it can to support its creation. This happens internally
and externally. Unless the feminine feels the creation is hers she
cannot support what the masculine wants without in some way being
harmed or drained. The masculine only needs to
feel it is thrusting according to its truth to be satisfied.
The “trick” is the
masculine must feel it is thrusting its truth. The
feminine must feel she is nourishing her creation. When the
masculine truth is in alignment with our inner truth, the inner
marriage has occurred.
Problems
in creating the marriage
(Top)
Our problem is we don’t create
that inner marriage but look externally for someone to do it for us.
Rather than being taught how to create that inner marriage, we are
told what to do and what not to do. Although external guidance and
authority can be of great assistance, we ultimately have to give
ourselves permission to explore and live our truth no matter what
the cost. We must create that protective space to allow our
inner feminine to nurture our truth so that the
inner masculine and
offspring can
become excited to thrust outward into the world true to ourselves.
If we thrust out in programming, we will not have the
feminine
support of our being unless that programming is somehow, in some way
supportive of our truth. The greater the programming aligns with our
truth, the greater the energy with which there is to create. The
more our truth is not supported by the programming the less energy
is available. Here lies the trap. When the programming is not in
full alignment with our truth, we look outward to another to fulfil
that mismatch. We look to some presence to meet that part that we
are not meeting inside. When we do not meet our truth inside, we
feel separate and talk about the need to become whole. When we
thrust out in the world in alignment with our truth, we feel
wholeness. We perceive no separation.
Without realize it, most males and females help keep their creative
power bound and then they wonder why they can’t create what will
truly make them happy. There is a dance each of us must learn. It is
a dance between our own
inner masculine and
inner feminine that must be mirrored externally. Rather than
creating the space within ourselves to allow both our masculine and
feminine aspects to grow to maturity, we keep them bound like little
children because of the hurt and pains we suffered as a child in the
loss of creative play. We
become hesitant and reluctant to step out in our own truth and
suffer as we did when we innocently and spontaneously stepped out as
that young child. Yet to be in the source of one’s creative power
and simultaneously at the Source of Creation is to be in a state of
spontaneous and innocent childlike play of discovery and exploration
of oneself and one’s world simultaneously at each and every level of
their being. It is to play as a child before mind steps in. We we do
that naturally, if we allow ourselves. As an adult, it is extremely
difficult to do.
An issue of sexuality (Top)
It is to be noted here that it is
said a marriage needs to occur between the
inner masculine and
inner feminine to allow our creative spirit to freely express
itself and our charisma. It is also said that free expression
includes the
passion to express our truth in the world. Since we are
talking about the joining
masculine and
feminine creative aspects
and what gives and sustains life, many will interpret the feelings
that go with this process sexually and the desire to express oneself
sexually in the world. Hence it naturally spills over into sexuality
for sexuality is how we create life whether internally or
externally.
That is a man will look for a external nurturing
feminine presence
to do what the
inner feminine must do. Similarly the female will look for a
external
masculine presence to do what the inner masculine must do.
Since there is an energy flowing outward to express the truth of our
being, many will interpret the expression of this
passion something
to be met sexually. That is, they feel the energy released in the
inner joining and they desire to experience it externally. Hence
they seek a sexuality union. Yet seeking the external pleasure risks
compromising the external expression of the
offspring of the inner
marriage.
In this regard, sexuality can be very enlightening as to the truth
of our being. Sexuality has the ability to open us to our feelings.
The opening of feelings coupled with the ability to be mindful and
aware how we are pushed to express ourselves externally through
sexuality will tell us something about what needs to be occurring
internally with our
inner masculine and
inner feminine and what inner needs are not being met.
In many ways you can look what is within the body as a seed.
Sexuality is the shell that keeps it confined. The shell must be
penetrated and broken for what is inside to come out. In many ways
it is why sexuality becomes an issue in adolescence. As the
individual starts to become mature, sexuality raises it head as an
issue to create a life for the individuals charisma to be born and
go out into the world to create the life the individual incarnated
to live. However, the conditions to create the charisma have never
been established. Rather than understanding the relationship of
sexuality with our creative spirit and it supplying the energy to
create the life for the charisma to unfold, it is seen as more as a
biological function. Individuals are not taught how to access the
inner
nurturing feminine creative energy and to create the
conditions for truth of our being to be conceived, gestated and
birth into the world. When our the
inner masculine creative energy thrusts out into the world,
rather than trusting from our own truth, we thrust out based on our
enculturation. That causes us to look outward for that opposite or
even same sex to fulfill what needed to be filled within.
Both males and females, who have not learned to nurture their truth
look for that
feminine energy to nurture what they cannot do
themselves. This by the way is the conditions for most of us, even
most of the females. Those who have not learn to nurture their truth
and thrust into the world in their own truth look to an external
authority figure to give them truth and tell them what to do. They
look to God, a teacher, an social author, a parent, whatever, to
tell us how to thrust and how to be in the world. Creatively,
most of us are like castrated bulls for we our
inner masculine has never been allowed to grow and mature so we
are lead by those whom seems to know better than us. When one learns
to access their
nurturing feminine creative energy to nurture their
own truth and thrust out with the inner masculine in their truth,
they become a light unto themselves. Many of us will need to
recreate ourselves later in life to correct this condition if we
every desire to find the truth of our being and release our
charisma.
The life that is created then seeks to create with another or others
a life in the external world that sustains, feeds and gives life for
the growth and unfoldment of one’s truth. Before an individual seeks
to engages another to create a life with another, the individual
should become aware of what gives them life and makes them feel
alive with a fulness of being within the external world. In that
awareness we can engage with another sexually and know if that
relations is giving life or taking it away and whether or not it
serves us.
The dances
of creation/Creation (Top)
There are several dances that one
must step through that involve the
masculine and
feminine aspects of
creation the are key to becoming and conscious creator and the
creator of our experiences.
The first step is to realize there is a dance and
to
dance we must learn to go into and out of balance. The first
dance is the dance between what is
symbolized in the heart and the mind. It is the
dance of heart and mind. It is to learn the
view of the mind and the
view of the heart and spend a little time exploring each. It is
for mind to learn what lies in the heart and
surrender to the heart.
In doing so, one begins to move into the
dance between the inner masculine and inner feminine. That dance
gives rise to the marriage of the
inner masculine and
inner feminine and an
offspring. That offspring is a new life
and a new world within one’s being. As we move to act from the
energy that lies within this marriage and the offspring we being to
move into the world and act in the world according to this
offspring. That creates the second dance,
the outer dance, where the offspring of the marriage of the
inner masculine and inner feminine learns how to survive in the
world in which it finds itself. This dance is where we begin to
access the true depth and breadth of our creative power. The
survival of that offspring will change the world we inhabits. It is
here we learn a
third dance as to how to both be the creator of the experiences
we have and the reality of those experiences. It is here we moves
to, and act form, the
source/Source of our being and the source/Source of
creation/Creation. It is here the creator/Creator and the
creation/Creation are one/One. It is were we experience
consciousness/Consciousness at play with itself/Itself.
