Wholeness--completing the cycle

I have been thinking a lot lately about the last bits of personal balancing that we are all being stimulated to act upon. Earth is being showered with heavy doses of divine feminine energies--the universe's way of helping the planet balance the masculine energies, so overwhelmingly present in the last millennium. We cannot help but bathe in the cosmic shower ourselves. I have seen in my own sphere of influence the playing out of this balancing act. Many men are fighting the energies of receptivity, softness, nurturing--the fear of their internal feminine tendencies, sadly so inbred in our society. 

But what has surprised me most is that I and many of my women friends are having a similar struggle. Society's emphasis and value placed on the work ethic--doing it all--being it all--for women especially--has spawned an internal toughness making our psyches leathery. We are having a hard time receiving---love, help, and ultimately the gifts of our higher natures. The message I got recently during a meditation was this: You don't have to do it all yourself. Indeed!


The ideal feminine model has been, over the course of many thousands of years, downgraded, from the wise, matriarchal, nurturing, earth-connected being, to a second class object prized only for exterior beauty. As a skewed counter to objectification, we have witnessed and participated in the "manning-up" of the woman. Of course, we who have lived during these times, could not help but assimilate and adjust to the ongoing warp-age of the societal norm. Now, we are being prompted to look at it all--our own beliefs about ourselves, our genders, and those prejudices that have snuck in and made a home in our cells. "We must find a way to heal the wounded feminine in our own hearts and souls." Margaret Starbird

 Wholeness. The whole of our 3rd dimensional world is deeply binary. Male/female, dark/light, expansion/contraction, positive/negative, life/death. In order to move beyond this dimension, we seek to find the balance point--the middle of our personal path. This requires work--hard work--subtle work--relentless introspection. We must see all of our dark sticking points, but recognize them from the greater perspective of our infinite being. If one is able to connect to and hold that sense of oneself as infinite/divine, coming to terms with all of your personal detritus/gunk/shadows will be a transforming experience. You will feel lighter in every way. On the other side of that process, lies the tipping point.

 What beckons us as we approach our energetic wholeness is a whole new world--a physical life in a dimension that is ultimately not a binary one. Unity reigns here. Balance is required. This is our next step as humans towards our most perfected form. As we approach the end of the year and the beginning of our new world--Nova Terra--we are being called to give and receive with discernment, to let go of the weights that tip our scales. I picture us floating in our biological bubbles on the great cosmic river that flows ever forward--on to the next adventure. How cool that this ride, ultimately, never ends.
