At the beginning of every major turning point in human history, a new energy washes over our planet to bring about change. We are now leaving the age of Pisces, which has lasted some 2,160 years. The New Age of Aquarius will take its place for the same period of time.
The spiritual power and wisdom of women are needed in our world today more than ever before. We need to come together to reclaim, honor, and celebrate what is sacred to us, and to explore how our wisdom can influence the way we all live, work, and care for each other, for our communities, and for the Earth.
Over the past 50 years or so there has been an unmistakable resurgence of the feminine energy on this planet. It is all around us to wonder about, behold, appreciate, and bring into our way of being. It has been suppressed in women and men for thousands of years. The days of suppression are over.
I encourage both women and men to get in touch with their feminine energies, to honor the power of the feminine and to trust themselves and the ways of knowing, including the wisdom of the intuition and the unconscious.
The old reality has been ruled by the masculine energies for many ages. The time of the new reality is the time of the feminine. A time for healing, for reclaiming the old wisdom, a time for evolving as a whole on every level!
We live in a physical universe that consists of many opposites. This polarity can be found in all things including our emotions and feelings. For example, we know that for sadness there is joy, for love there is fear, for hatred there is compassion, for anger there is forgiveness, and so on.
The opposites reflect the dual nature of our creator, Father/Mother God. Eastern mystical teachings tell us that the male/female principle of polarity was and still is the driving force of creation that ordered and arranged our physical universe and all that it contains, including you.
On a much smaller scale, these two polarities of energy are an integral part of our soul and our nature. Prior to the Fall of humanity on planet Earth, our natural spirit-form was an androgynous Being of Light. Our one, whole, etheric body contained a masculine and feminine consciousness. Its one mind can be likened to a magnet with two, distinct poles of energy and influence. This one complete being was a divinely balanced blend of two twin consciousnesses within the same soul.
We came to Earth millions of years ago in order to experience and feel what is was like to exist at the 3-dimensional level and to bring a sense of Godliness to this plane of existence. We then lost our way as we became more and more attached to the physical pleasures Earth life had to offer. Eventually we lost our God-centeredness and became ego-driven or self-centered. At some point, our androgynous body separated into two halves as physical man and physical woman.
In order to help us remember who we really are, the reincarnational cycle and the law of karma that goes with it pulled us into its grip. We have been on that wheel of life-death-life for ages trying to recall our divine origins so that we can reclaim our God-centeredness and reunite with our twin soul, as we were prior to the Fall.
When twin souls separated from one another, one was assigned a masculine root gender, the other was feminine. When that happened, the male twin half retained a vestige of his twin's feminine energy. The opposite occurred for his other half.
Over many lifetimes each male and female counterpart has been trying to bring his or her masculine and feminine energies in balance. This doesn't mean that a woman has to be half feminine and half masculine. It means that she needs to fully develop her feminine characteristics, while at the same time allowing her masculine side to grow and mature as well. The opposite holds true for a man.
When the two twin halves have balanced their masculine and feminine sides and have reached a strong sense of self and spiritually maturity, they are ready for lasting reunion.
Through the ages, the masculine and feminine energies have gotten way out of balance. Thousands of years ago the female energy was the dominant form on this planet; just the reverse of what it is today. And men came to fear women because of it.
Approximately 2000 years ago it reversed and man's innate fear of woman caused the female energy to be suppressed. But that is changing dramatically these days. The feminine energy is rising once again. And its influence is driving the spiritual transformation of our planet and all its inhabitants.
What are some of the masculine and feminine energies that need balancing? Below are a few...
Masculine Energy
doing
aggression
analytical
concrete
impatient
striving
rushing
assertive
left brain
thrusting
organizing
logical
busy
hard
controlling
Many souls have incarnated on planet Earth at this time to bear witness to and assist in the changes that are taking place. There is a massive shift in consciousness taking place in our world today. The material ways of life are of less importance to many, while the spiritual becomes more and more vital and fulfilling.
As we go through this profound shift, many individuals are experiencing a deep, inner change as well. As this change intensifies, each of us must learn to bring into harmony the masculine/feminine energies that make up our nature.
Men must be less controlling and more allowing. Women must be more assertive without sacrificing their warmth and softness. Men must not be afraid to cry and show their feelings. Women need to express themselves more. Men must rely more on their intuition, while women should develop their logical thinking. Men need to stop doing and striving so much and learn how to "be." Women need to become more independent and aggressive. As always the key is balance.
Be free this season my friends!
Letter From the Editor
"Your whole era,
your whole Earth
is geared to that at this moment
and that is one of the changes
of this New Age.
It is called the arising
of the Goddess.
It is not just in woman,
it is also in man."
