There is nothing more lovely, wonderful, and satisfying than being around women who have something awaken inside them - an excursion, a calling, an adventure. I really have been pretty supremely lucky to spend a lot of time with powerful women - even raised by 2 who I would do just about anything for - women who've got their own dreams regardless of all of the things they are fed incessantly by our society, bloom anyhow. They are entirely unique in a world that's training them to be like everybody else. How awesome 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 bunch of strong women, you will grow incredibly, have your head lovingly cut off when you are surely not being the best man you could be, and you will experience life itself and its gigantic selection of experiences. Like the unpredictable ocean they change and shift by the second, feelings and thoughts swarm...let that help you to find your solidity. They will test you with their darkest moods and feelings - only to have them feel that you are immovable, the mountain, always going to be there regardless of what and firm in your purpose. These are gifts, not hinderances. These guiding relationships create you, but if you really deflate - they will destroy you. Seek them out - don't be intimidated, women can move mountains. They are to surely be treasured.
The dynamics of my life in moving with feminine energy has changed almost 180 degrees for many reasons. But oh how I have shifted inside. In the course of my life, I highly identified with feminine energy because I had two very strong and dynamic women in my life - my sister and my mom - 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 tended to hit it off with ladies better than I did with men. I took the best from my dad too, equally as driven, considerate, inventive and motivated and became a product of my environment and nurturing.
As I went through the deep chaos 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 within me that declined 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 ended and a massive mess was made. So I crashed like the sea for a while...and at last found my way to writing.
But very recently this dynamic shifted in a big way as the bubbling up of my purpose came to me and I started to read, understand, and practice what powerful masculine energy essentially was. This has not just only opened up my world, but has opened up the worlds of the guys who live around me. There's an idea that has entered into my mind which certainly has stuck with me for months now, and it's the idea of the mountain. That solidity - identifying with what doesn't change in this world. The undoubtable stableness of being totally grounded in your position, a mirror to life itself, empty and ready to express your deepest passions and purpose - which is the expression of love itself.
When a man ultimately begins to understand this way of looking at things I am able to tell you...mountains don't just move in front of him...he becomes the mountain. Whatever might happen around him swirls and yet he is completely calm, planted, and remains rooted in his deepest want. To find your purpose is far more than just what you do for work - it's going to be a direct leader in your life and will influence your relationships, your friendships, your family dynamics, and how you show up on the planet. It absolutely did for me. As fast as this hit - bloom - unfold - open - closing the chasm - joy - inner wisdom - integrity - perseverance through anything.
Women are like the sea. They shift, change, and adjust by the second. In just a moment, a peaceful ocean can become a series of rogue waves. As a man, you are there in your tiny ship wondering how the hell you are going to climb up that wave before it crests. Women are life itself. They offer, literally, what it suggests to be alive. Why do you really think they call it Mother Nature? Everything that shifts around you is moving energy, a type of energy that is uniquely female and can be accessed. But those waves for guys who do not understand what it actually means to be the captain of their ship can be rocked straight out of their boat - I can't tell you how frequently I have been tossed out of my ship or perhaps even bailed before the wave hit. But give a man a purpose, and that wave begins to appear like fun. Moreover, that wave can induce your most important purpose.
This is the part that's changed my life utterly.
Every single day I sit comfortable down and write, I am totally driven by a variety of energy that is very different from anything that I have experienced before. I sit in my little 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 sort of energy that if you focus upon it deep enough, it's almost a low frequency lull...that is incredibly deep and potent. A wavelength which has existed far before everyone and one that willbe here forever after. I can feel it circulate through me infrequently when I'm on the mat. Then, I open and observe the things that are going on around me or start to run through the days events - tapping into all of the things that adjusted - and get impressed by all of that energy. That energy runs straight through my writing - and yet, all at the same time, I'm here, fully 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 definitely impressed by the women around me and that feminine energy...creating, loving seriously and open to all uncertainty. It's this dynamic, the one between the male and the female - and my utilizing both - which has taught me more than anything else. This has opened me up, deeply changed my relationships, and helped me continue to discover parts of myself that I never knew existed. Floods of great people have showed up in my life and I can see the entire thing morphing, only to grasp that it will undeniably all change and pass...and that's superbly OK.
