There is very little more lovely, fantastic, and electrifying than being around ladies that have something awaken deep inside them - a journey, a calling, an escapade. I have been pretty supremely lucky to spend a lot of time with powerful women - even raised by two great ones who I would do anything for - women who have their own dreams regardless of all of the things they are fed psychologically by our society, bloom anyhow. They are unique in a world that's trying it's best to coaching them to be like everyone else. How amazing is that? Above all else, women act as moment by moment integrity checkers for men, oracles even, and if you can surround yourself with a grouping of powerful women, you'll grow incredibly, have your head lovingly cut off when you aren't being the best man you could be, and you will experience life itself and its massive selection of experiences. Like the sea they change and shift by the second, emotions and thoughts swarm...let that help you to find your solidity. They'll test you with their darkest moods and feelings - only to have them feel you are immovable, the mountain, always going to be there no matter what and firm in your purpose. These are gifts, not hinderances. These guiding relationships create you, but if you weaken and deflate - they'll destroy you. Seek them out - don't be intimidated, women can move mountains. They are to be cherished.
The dynamics of my life in moving with true feminine energy has changed just about 180 degrees for lots of reasons. But oh how I have shifted inside. In the course of my life, I highly identified with female energy because I had 2 very strong and dynamic women in my life - my sister and my mum - who are incredibly driven and accomplished in what they do. I even had a female dog who was my best friend when I was small and really tended to get along with ladies better than I did with men. I took the best from my father too, similarly as driven, loving artistic and persistent and became a product of my environment and nurturing.
As I went through the turmoil of my younger years, I was "all that changes and shifts. " My moods, my angles, my feelings, and thoughts...I have described it many times...were like a tornado inside me that refused to give up. Even when it did stop momentarily, back up it would storm again. Mix that with lacking deep purpose after my baseball career stopped and a big mess was made. So I crashed like the sea for a while...and eventually found my way to writing.
But recently this dynamic shifted religiously as the bubbling up of my purpose came to me and I started to read, understand, and practice what true masculine energy really was. This has not just only opened up my world, but has opened up the worlds of the great men who live around me. There's an idea that has entered into my mind that has stuck with me for months now, and it's the inspiring concept of the mountain. That solidity - identifying with what does not change in this world. The undoubtable stableness of being totally grounded in your position, a mirror to life itself, empty and prepared to express your deepest passions and purpose - which is the expression of love itself.
When a man finally begins to understand this concept, I can tell you...mountains don't just move in front of him...he becomes the mountain. Whatever happens around him swirls and yet he is completely calm, planted, and is still embedded in his deepest wish. To find your purpose is a great deal more than just what you do for work - it should be a direct leader in your life and will deepen your relations, your friendships, your family dynamics, and how you show up on the planet. It sure did for me. As soon as this hit - bloom - unfold - open - closing the chasm - joy - honesty - integrity - perseverance through anything.
Women are the same as the sea. They shift, change, and adjust by the second. In a moment, a peaceful sea can change into a series of rogue waves. As a man, you are there in your small rowboat wondering how the heck you're going to climb up that wave before it crests. Women are life itself. They offer, literally, what it means to be alive. Why do you think they call it Mother Nature? Everything that shifts around you is moving energy, a type of power that is uniquely female and can be accessed. But those waves for men that do not and won't understand what it truly means to be the captain of their ship can be rocked straight out of their little boat - I can't tell you how frequently I have been tossed out of my ship or bailed before the wave hit. But give a open man a purpose, and that wave begins to look like fun. Additionally, that wave can induce your most important purpose.
This is the part that truly has changed my life utterly.
Every single day I sit right down and write, I am absolutely driven by a type of energy that's certainely very different from anything that I have experienced before. I sit in my small chair outside on my porch...close my eyes, and breathe as deep deep down into my stomach as I can. I find that density - that solidity - that love - that emptiness. There's this kind of energy that if you focus on it deep enough, it's almost a low frequency lull...that is exceptionally deep and potent. A wavelength that has existed far before everybody and one that will undoubtedly be here forever after. I will feel it circulate through me sometimes when I am sitting on the mat. Then, I open and observe the things that are going on around me or take the time to run through the days events - using all of the things that unpredictably changed - and get galvanized by all of that energy. That energy runs straight through my writing - and yet, all at the very same time, I really am here, absolutely grounded in my place - living as if I was already dead.
Fear, in my heart, disappears.
There I am grounded, in my deepest purpose, totally and utterly inspired by the women around me and that feminine energy...creating, loving intensely and open to all uncertainty. It's this dynamic, the one between the male and the female - and my tapping into both - that has taught me more than anything else. This has opened me up, deeply changed my relations, and helped me continue to discover parts of myself that I did not know existed. Floods of people have showed up in my life and I can see the whole thing morphing, only to know that it'll all change and pass...and that is wonderfully O.K.
