The paradox of creating the space
is that it is a
masculine act to choose to act to create the space but it can’t
be done properly without a
feminine nurturing energy. Creation is the result of the
masculine. The
masculine must choose to thrust. Yet, no creation can occur
unless it is nurtured by the
feminine. Once the seed for creation is created, it must be
placed somewhere to grow and unfold. Similarly, once the
seed condition is established, it must be maintained until
conditions are correct for the seed to be conceived and germinate.
The feminine is essential for both these steps.
The energy provided by the
feminine, the feminine creative energy, creates the womb
where the creation will grow and unfold. The mature
feminine nurturing energy is willing to give of herself and
become whatever she needs to be come to nurture the creation in the
way it needs to be nurtured grow including her own life but not at
the expense of her life. Without the mature feminine nurturing
energy, the creation can only unfold true to itself to the extent
the feminine nurturing energy has matured. Alternatively said, one
cannot give what they do not have. A space cannot provide for the
full maturity of the creation within the space unless the space
itself has reached full maturity. The feminine cannot create a
mature space to nurture a creation unless it has reached maturity.
The paradox of creating the space is that the space for creation has
both a
masculine and
feminine aspect. Both the masculine and feminine are needed to
create a safe and secure space for creation internally and
externally and each has an ongoing role in maintaining that space.
The
feminine aspect of being is what nurtures and sustains a
creation. The actual space that is created is part of the feminine
aspect. The feminine must give a part of herself to hold this space
to nurture her offspring. The way a female carries a child within
her womb is a good example of this. Relative to the feminine aspect,
the space for creation can be considered the womb of creation. In
this regard, there will be a birth and the new creation will have to
leave the womb which nurtured and sustained it.
The
masculine aspect of being is what protects the space of creation
being held by the
feminine. In the same way a man is expected to defend and
protect his family, the masculine must defend and protect both the
feminine and the space she creates to nurture her offspring. The
feminine aspect of being can only nourish the creation to the extent
her needs are met which includes the safe and secure space to be
free to nurture her creation.
Here lies the paradox. The
masculine needs a mature
feminine to mature. But the feminine needs a mature masculine to
mature.. So there seems to be
the proverbial Catch 22. To resolve the paradox one needs to
dance. But it not about the masculine and feminine alternating the
lead in the dance. Rather it is about the masculine choosing to,
and becoming, more feminine than the feminine to sufficient nurture
the feminine so she is able to mature to be able to provide the
mature nurturing feminine energy to nourish the desired creation.
It is then the feminine can become sufficient secure to nourish both
her creation and then, in turn, nurture the masculine for the
masculine to thrust into the world creating the space for the
offspring to grow and unfold to it full potential.
Since the
masculine is the aspect of creation that thrusts and is
responsible for creation occurring, it must choose to surrender to
the needs of the
feminine to nurture the feminine if it desire its creation to
manifest. The paradox is that ultimately, the masculine must
choose to become feminine to create what it desires and surrender to
the needs of the feminine. Then when the feminine is strong
enough, the masculine can then be supported to thrust out.
