For
too many centuries and up to the present moment, women have been like
footnotes in history books that no one bothered to read. Confined to a
secondary role, they have been cast aside to serve the needs of society
and men. In the present era circumstances have changed as there seems to
be a gradual movement towards equality; but we are not there yet. We
are still far from reaching the necessary level which would guarantee
the balance beneficial to all in ways the human mind cannot yet
conceive.
Men
still occupy the majority of senior positions in all public
administrations, private business and corporations. Even when a woman
holds a professional position equal to a male colleague, the inequality
still reflects in lower salaries, for reasons beyond comprehension and
which clearly points out at a covert discrimination fuelled by the
historical inertia propelled by the archaic beliefs and rules of a
patriarchal society that no longer provides for the real needs of
humanity.
These
beliefs created by and for the convenience of patriarchal society
continue deeply ingrained in the collective psyche and affects everyone.
The most blatant representation of this effect is the gratuitous
violence against women and the rape culture that is suppressing the
wonderful qualities of women generation after generation after
generation. It is not the case that more rapes are committed in present
time, but that women and an increasing part of society had enough of
this systematic and endemic form of oppression. There are more cases
reported due to a simple fact; women have a stronger voice and they're
no longer alone. There is a increasing number of men that will no longer
stand for it either. I happen to be one of them. The role of the
administration in this social plague is shameful and deceitful. No
government or administration has established a viable plan which even
begins to touch the surface of the problem. Worse than that, there are
no signs that they have any intention either. The role of the media does
not fall short of shame, as it only serves as a distracting tool
broadcasting the tragedies that the same neglectful administrations are
causing throughout the world. For as long as men have control of the
administration from their Ivory Towers, this problem will continue to be
a shame to men and society as a whole. The fact is: the current state
of the world is not working neither for men, nor women.
But
not everything is doom and gloom. There is hope. One way to change the
world is to tackle the problems that we have here and now. Instead of
doing this, we are creating more. What we do today can change the world
forever. It is our actions what will transform the world into a place in
which we can all live together and not against each other.
As
a woman there are two factors that you need to consider in order to
transform and project your true self to the world, as these are the most
significant and have more influence that you would imagine in who you
are today. First, there is an obstacle which is going to prove difficult
to overcome, but not impossible. The fact is that the treatment that
women have received for centuries has left a legacy in energetic terms.
Every action that has been taken in the past to coerce freedom is still
here. This energy works as an invisible chain which stops you from
expanding. It is an energy emerged from limiting actions and it
continues to be restrictive today and now.
Unknowingly
you are holding prisoner a wild woman within that when found and
liberated will show you who you really are. The wild woman is not one
that destroys, even though she is a powerful warrior and she would not
tolerate such imposed barriers. She is a
warrior of love.
Love is all that is needed to bring down traditions that go against
humanity. There is a wonderful scope to expand in front of you. Remember
this and believe in it. This world is going to change and women are
going to play and already playing an essential role in this
transformation. In case you didn't know; you are woman, Muse, Thinking
Muse and
Goddess.
Do you still wonder why unconscious men fear you? You are incredibly
powerful and when you begin to show your true self to the world with
love, fear will subside.
The
second factor plays in your favor and it is your greatest ally. Having
played a secondary role throughout history has also given you centuries
of empowering energy which is raised from love. Love is the most
powerful source there is and can heal all. From the beginning, the
participation of women in society has been crucial in order to
perpetuate the continuance of human life. This is obvious information we
all know, although one which significance I believe escapes the
awareness of the collective. Giving birth to a child is something no man
will ever understand, as it is physically impossible to experience.
What we experience we don't know, and what we don't know we fear.
A woman is a
Goddess of Life,
a creator. In essence women are more caring, loving and nurturing. It
has been centuries of nurturing not only humanity, but the soul. Women
are much more in touch with the soul because from the beginning of
existence you have been in touch with your feelings and emotions
absorbing the pain and suffering of humanity in silence. And it is
through feeling that we heal. Do continue feeling and continue crying.
Do not allow anyone, especially men, to make you believe that you are
hysterical or mad when you do. You are a woman and you feel in ways most
men cannot understand. Feelings and tears are healing. If the whole of
humanity began to cry at the same time today so as to feel the
collective pain and suffering, the world would heal from all its misery.
There
is magic to the invisibility in the actions of women; those actions
that are taken for granted and which provide day after day for numerous
things which seem to be planted there for the use others. Mothers are
the best example. You nurture, love, care, create and provide. We only
notice when such things are no longer there. The signs that women are
more in touch with the soul are fairly obvious. Women are more
spontaneous, ready to sing and dance in public more often than men. You
are more vibrant and colorful. It shows in women's choice of clothing
and personal items. Anyone who has been observant in public might have
seen this scene. A couple are in a shop looking for items to decorate
their new home. The woman sees an object that speaks to her soul and in
most cases the man's response is: this is too expensive or it's not
practical or I can make that. A woman is looking for the
soul
in all objects, to bring color and rhythm to the house, while a man is
still building a fort or a shed in which everything is practical and
cost-effective. Balance is the key. This world lacks color, as it lacks
soul. And here is where women are crucial, but so are men.
It
is time for women to organize, create groups and cooperatives,
foundations and gather in a collective and creative effort. The soul
allows for a creativity that has not yet exploded in the world. It is
also time for women to begin to support and empower each other in both,
common and personal endeavors. This is a process that takes time and
patience. What it cannot continue is that women prey on other women
because of personal differences due to beliefs. I see multiple examples
of this every day. The question 'To be or not to be' has now changed to
'cleavage or no cleavage', and it is painful to see. If we don't
respect others, we will never have their respect. What we give we
receive. Everyone wants to
love and be loved.
Let's allow it and let's do it together. If you on the other hand are
more the individualistic type and have a project which you believe you
can do alone, do so. There are no rules when it comes to creativity and
how we proceed. What matters is that you use your creativity,
imagination. Be persistent, be flexible and do not be discouraged.
Success takes time and often sacrifices. Begin now. Join a group already
established or create one.
So
far we have two energies which influence you. The one which can
transform the world is the energy that speaks to the soul and from the
soul. It is not a matter of fighting the restrictive energy, but to use
and expand the creativity of your true expression. By giving more
attention to such energy with your actions you will be contributing to
its expansion. The equation is simple, as the creative soul occupies
more of the spectrum of life it causes the other energy to recede until
it disappears. This is a daily task; it is a long journey and even
though it is a collective effort, your actions, no matter how small they
appear to be are important, as this also contributes to your
personal transformation
and your way to freedom. No one is going to do the work for you or for
me. This is work we have to do ourselves. It is possible. Everything is
possible.
I
am sitting while I write at Southsea Coffee co. in Portsmouth. There
are two 'waitresses' dancing, talking to each other as they work. There
are two more members of the staff. It is not clear whether they're
working or not. A third one come and sits at one of the tables after
greeting everyone. There's a smile in all of them which goes deeper than
their faces. To call them waitresses would be an understatement. We are
not job descriptions. To consider the people who regularly come here as
customers would be another understatement too. It is a place in which
souls gather to enjoy the company of others, as if we all had a
prearranged agreement to meet and it is a beautiful synergy to see. In
this case the soul of the owners is expressed through a physical
establishment, making a strong, uncompromising statement to the world.
It is a collective effort. And this is home. Home is not the physical
place in which I was born. Home is the true essence of each individual,
that part of us which we fear to express openly as we somehow believe
someone else will come to harm it. The soul cannot be destroyed and it
is always intact. As an individual we can get completely detached from
the soul, but the soul is always there. This place is a clear reflection
of what we together can do to transform the world. One day at a time.
The
effect that this movement will have in the world is extraordinary. Ask
for help when you can, and when there is no one to help, ask the
universe. It is listening. The shift of energy is already happening.
Know that there is a large group of men supporting you even if they
don't express their voices too loudly. Bring them in to participate, not
to organize or lead, but to support you. You would be surprised the
response of men we asked. If someone is not receptive, let them be.
There is no need to explain yourself. Keep doing what you want to do.
The
energy
that you are going to produce is not only transforming you, but
everyone around and eventually the world. We are our actions. If you are
a man reading this, you may want to read my blog post
'Balancing Energies: Restoring Male Energy and Raising Female Energy'. You will understand why our help is needed.
I
intend to write extensively about this topic as integration and
acceptance of each other is essential. First, for both men and women
separately, to bring both genders together, as it is together we change
things. There is a simple reason why men and society must participate in
this process, and this is because both have an incredible opportunity
to blossom when we allow the energies and creativity that for so long
have been suppressed. I'd like to hear your opinions and any questions
you may have on the subject. Regardless of what gender you fall in,
before you dismiss this idea, ask yourself whether you like the world as
it is or you would like to see it transform. Remember; you can make a
difference.
