Feminine Rising Part 2

This world and its inhabitants have been starving for the touch of the essence of mother. They have been longing for the soft and clear tones of her voice, and the comfort of her soft embrace. We have all felt her touch at times. (I am not talking specifically about our own mothers, although many of them carried a taste of the “mother”) I am speaking of that deeply satisfying nurturing energy of HOME. Of being held and cared for. This has been a realm of hustle, bustle, performance, pressure, and guilt. Even well-meaning mothers have embodied this energy and have passed it on to their posterity, because it was the way of living. It was what was required for survival.

Today, the feminine is stirring, and like the title says, it is RISING. She is taking her place in leadership alongside the masculine. It is not a competition, it is a complementation. It is the feminine that will heal this world. The feminine holds vision and intuition, and those are some of the things that are being called on right now. We will not be able to grow into more unity and wholeness without giving the feminine a place in the equation. As this rising happens, we will encounter much pain, within us and outside of us. I believe this has been happening for quite a while already. The feminine has been feeling this call, this stirring, and at first she has been confused. She first felt it as pain, anger, frustration, resentment, rage. The part of her that has been held in suppression first started to rise, and the strong emotion was necessary to push her up and out of her dark slumber. When she started to first open her eyes and see what all had actually been done to keep her pushed down and out of the way, her first reaction was horror and a great sense of unfairness. Please keep in mind, the masculine has been suppressed as well, and we will probably speak about that too later on.

So where are we now, and what is happening? The feminine is becoming whole as we speak. The wounds of suppression and silence are healing, and there is a great hushed beauty of feminine grace beginning to seep into and out of everything. This is deeply nourishing. It is coming from music, nature, animals, smiles, words, prayers, touch, in the air, earth, and water. This is when the lion lies down beside the lamb. The pious drop the judgment. The down-trodden look up and see a star. The black hand reaches for the white hand, and the white hand reaches for the black. This is when the beauty, the love, the true divine essence in each being is seen and felt and heard by other beings. Where words are unuttered but yet heard, and deeply understood.

The mother is taking these flimsy systems we felt as safety and she is turning them inside out and dissolving the fear and judgment. Then she is gathering us all up - displaced and confused - and holding us close and letting us feel her heartbeat and that really nothing else matters.

I feel like I’m talking in riddles here, because there is no other way to describe the great shifts that are happening in the spiritual realm right now. Maybe you can feel it. It’s not seen, but so obvious. It’s silent, but heard so loudly. It’s still, but is moving mountains.

As for the feminine rising. Many years ago it was known and felt that masculine and feminine were divine counterparts. They each held equal codes to the life force that flowed from the Creator. Over time society embraced the patriarchal leadership dynamic. (Did you know that Jesus had feminine disciples as well as masculine?) So many belief systems are tied up in that, and it will be very difficult to shake loose. Both the masculine and feminine have felt safe that way. Ego has been all wrapped up in that for both of them.

I am not saying that now we will all at once have a huge surge of female leaders in positions of power. That couldn’t be further from the truth. We are leaving the positions of power. How many of them ruled and lorded over others with fear and control? Those are the very things that will dissolve as the feminine starts to rise. In a balanced world there is not room for classes and levels of importance. A truly divine mother looks beneath the facial features, whether the clothing is kosher or the performance is perfect. A truly divine mother looks and really SEES. And she offers love. Not gushy empty words or fluffy displays of affections, but substance. Something to back up against, to lean on, to take home with you.

THIS is how the feminine is rising, and it is so beautiful. It will mean breaking out of old boxes where you felt safe. It will mean putting your beautiful heart out there where you feel like it could be taken, but standing in your power and light so brightly that it remains yours alone. It will mean caring where no one has cared before. It will mean saying no to ever giving yourself completely away again, because you will know that if you do that, you really have nothing of substance to offer. It will mean learning now how to love and honor yourself and then discovering how from that place you truly and authentically love the world around you. It will mean being scoffed at and told how wrong you are because you’re daring to break illusions. It will mean feeling every sharp edge of the pain of the judgment upon you and still staying soft. Dear one, you will not get it right all the time. It will feel like a struggle, and sometimes you want to quit.

Once more I remind you, this is not a writing of hate and unhappiness to the masculine. No. This is about the wounds of the feminine carried in you, no matter your gender. None is above or below the other. Each is a piece of the ONE, a piece and fractal of GOD.

Written in sincere love
