The War Within; Masculine / Feminine Energy.
It was said
in the Tao Te Ching that he who reacts, puts up the first act of war. Neural
science has found that humans burn, up to 80% of their energy in fight or
flight reactionary, defensive life patterns of ‘stimulus’….. to which we
automatically respond.
We are wired
through Subconscious memory mind to respond to ‘outside’ stimulus, then react! Up to half a second before we are Consciously
aware of what we are reacting to. It all happens in a heartbeat on
auto-pilot. Free will? You have to be joking!
We are our
programmed thoughts, this all happened long before we were mentally developed
to know any difference.
Consciousness
shapes our reality. An artist always holds the original of any work of art
within their unique Consciousness.
A musician
will go into a zone of Consciousness while the music flows through them, often
they look amazed at their own mystic.
Combining
Consciousness with active imagination as a focused discipline….. then it ‘appears’ out there in the world of senses.
And we have
inner tools to achieve the unending stream of possibilities that make up our
lives as we proceed through it.
From an
early age we are taught to think rationally and tangibly. This is a very left
brain method of education and it has more harmful effects than it’s given
credit for. An extremely left brain way to think, but a perfect model for
controlling others, male dominance, but basically a suppression of the feminine
energy.
The brain is made up of
two hemispheres;
The right
brain, which is fundamentally creative, and the left brain which is
fundamentally logic. The right brain is referred to as our female energy and
the left brain is referred to as male. Every person has masculine and feminine
qualities. This has nothing to do with male
/ female physiology. In fact we all begin our journey in the womb, ‘female’ and
after a few days a ‘male’ begins their unique physical transformation. Male
breaks away!
This is the
second fatal flaw in our past programming and training that by the time we are
adults, it’s almost unworkable and we
cyclically travel through life win / lose; lose / win, like a game of ping
pong. The game of backwards and forwards, two things always make up our world
of duality! We become divided.
But
synergising left and right brain, male and female energy we come home to true
relationship within ourselves, then in the outside world of people, places and
events we begin to notice harmony taking place of disruption. Peace replacing
torment. Love (for self, and others) replacing like. Joy replacing fun.
The left and
right brain represent duality yin / yang, light / dark, good / bad and every
other form of duality, until enlightenment!
