A bit of a spicy opinion piece
{ a bit of a spicy opinion piece... }
It seems to be a trend lately to proclaim how "over it" people are about the Feminine and Masculine teachings. People saying, "like, why are we still even talking about this?" ...and your favorite, resident Mystic / Manifestor / Feminine Mysteries guide has things to say.
For me, saying that we're "over" the Feminine and Masculine Archetypes, is like saying we're "over" Magnetism and Confidence.
Or, better yet, that we're "over" Rhythm and Melody.
I don't mean to say that you "have to" care about the Archetypes.
They are a Model for us to understand Creation, the entirety of existence and the Universe as a life force, and understanding OUR part in them.
But I absolutely don't feel like everyone is required to immerse themselves in these teachings. I don't believe everyone has to explore the Archetypal Realms. And I don't think there's anything wrong with not feeling called to be in conversation around them. Annnnnnd I DO believe that it’s important to understand that the Feminine and Masculine are the governing Energies and the Quantum building blocks that make up the Harmonics of your Reality, all the same.
Here's why...
We are Instruments
of Harmony.
Or we are Instruments
of Discord.
And rejecting the contemplation and the practice of Sacred Energetics through our core, foundational Archetypes as "non-important" is akin to rejecting the study and practice of a musical instrument when we wish to create beautiful music.
The entire Universe and our existence is made up of Energy waves. Or, sound.
Everything we Desire is a form of creating music.
And rejecting the most Primordial Energy Patterns found in nature is like pretending that we come out of the womb already knowing how to play a musical instrument, how to tune it, how to play in the subtleties of tone and volume and texture and silence, how to find and sustain a beautiful harmony with dozens of other musicians to create a symphony, let alone how to compose the musical, Harmonic Masterpiece we've always dreamed of creating, or hearing — or living into (in the case of this Work)...
Now, one of the things I AM "over" is the argument about which one of these Archetypes is better than the other, and who should be embodying which Archetypes — because neither of those Either / Or conversations have ever been real.
They each must Dance together or neither is powerful.
And all of us are BOTH of them. But to pretend this means they don't matter, or that they're not important, or that they're not a real part of our lives — whether we want to look at them or not, is to pretend the food we buy at the grocery store just grows there:
We will never have an understanding of our impact on the Reality around us, or how to Create or change the Reality that exists, nor will we understand where our Bounty and Abundance and Thriving actually come from.
.
Does it matter if we call them Feminine and Masculine? Like, why do we have to use those terms? You don't have to. You could refer to these Energies as "Blue and Orange" if you want to instead.
But here's what I find to be true about this rejection and resistance to these terms: The only reason we feel resistant to the terms Feminine and Masculine in the first place IS actually a symptom of our Patriarchal conditioning: We wouldn't feel so resistant or triggered by the terms if we were taught that they are in ALL of us, that they don't mean "male or female," and that one is not 'lesser' than the other.
If we understood that it's like "Blood and Bones" and within each of us, or "Rhythm and Melody," and both needed to Create and experience Harmony, or if we simply understood that both of them exist inside of LIFE as we wish to experience it, we wouldn't feel the need to push those terms away.
In other words, I find there's healing in even our being Willing to play with and study these Energies in this personified terminology.
Totally okay to disagree with me.
