Womankind to the Rescue!
Why are women the overwhelming majority of people
who are pursuing various self-help therapies?
I’ll never forget that day because the uncomfortable weather
outside mirrored the emotionally charged counseling session I
was experiencing inside. Just as I completed a session with a
client who had a Ph.D. in mental health, she exploded: “You
don’t know a damn thing about women’s feelings!” Her emotional
outburst angered me for deep within I realized she was right!
The intense frustration that caused my client to cry for help
sparked an inspirational (“in spirit”) moment that has changed
my life forever. My Spirit was telling me to learn all that I
could about women’s feelings, as well as about my own. As a
counselor my mission is to overcome all emotional blocks; so I
began an intense study about feelings, focusing on the
experience of being female in what is still a male-dominated
society.
Little did I realize that my research would open Pandora’s Box.
During the course of my in-depth readings of works authored by
women, I learned about the enslavement, manipulation and abuse
of women, which went far beyond what I was taught in school from
textbooks (written mostly by men).
My research was intellectual as well as experiential: In
addition to reading books I participated in many “How to feel
your feelings” intensives, which unearthed deep emotional
material pertaining to women’s oppression. After many years of
research, I have come to this powerful conclusion: The
Self-empowerment of women is the single most important mission
today that can help save humanity!
My experiences have shown me that the majority of men are
disconnected from, and are resistant to, reconnecting to their
Yin or feminine energy. Yin energy is the nurturing, communal,
cooperative feminine essence that all humans possess. Experience
has also shown me that the majority of women are disconnected,
but are very willing to reconnect to their Yang or masculine
energy. Yang energy is the assertive, logical, protective
masculine energy that all humans possess. I believe that this
energy imbalance is a root cause of many problems our society
grapples with today.
Patriarchal societies have prevailed since around 3000 B.C. As a
result of an imbalanced, competitive and “macho” value system,
these patriarchies have now brought humanity to the brink of
extinction. Men, as the stewards of the planet, have escalated
wars to the brink of complete nuclear annihilation. Meanwhile,
rain forests are being cut to the ground, while the earth’s
protective ozone layer is dissipating.
Our political leaders seem to be blind to the interconnectedness
of all things—the Gaia or Mother Earth Consciousness. Their
ignorance to this cosmic wholeness perpetuates the senseless
destruction of our life-supporting ecosystem.
I reacted with fear upon first discovering that the fate of our
ecology was dependent upon a few powerful male-dominated
families who control most of the world’s resources. These
resources include utilities, press, television, military and
most of the world’s transportation and communication systems. In
my opinion, these power groups downplay the critical nature of
our ecological crisis because they fear losing their power!
Fortunately, womankind does not need to overthrow the
power-hungry with violence; rather, the feminine approach
involves restoring balance by connecting within to one’s
intuitive nature. In this way womankind can help rescue mankind!
Women, in general, are more naturally inclined to approach the
world as a “whole”. This is as a result of having natural
communal abilities as well as because women are raised with a
greater emphasis on emotions than men. These natural feminine or
Yin abilities are urgently needed in order to save humanity.
Prior to 3000 B.C., most cultures had a matriarchal structure
and believed in deities, primarily feminine Goddesses. The
Goddess deity was revered as a wise creator and the one source
of universal order and balance. In When God Was a Woman,
Merlin Stone writes: “When our society worshiped gods who were
women, a women’s role differed markedly from those in our
patriarchal Judeo-Christian culture. Women bought and sold
property, traded in the marketplace, and the inheritance laws of
title and property were passed from mother to daughter, not
father to son!”
Merlin Stone theorizes that an ancient conspiracy was started by
men to suppress women and their matriarchal rights, which she
considers “One of cultures greatest shams…The misinterpretation
of the legend of Adam and Eve.” Stone elaborates: “This bible
story was used by unscrupulous, greedy men as a way to change
the inheritance laws, so that they could gain control of
property and title. To accomplish this they needed to suppress
religions that made females gods because, by association, it
gave women power. The Adam and Eve story was used to manipulate
the masses into believing that women have an evil nature, they
are the temptresses who are responsible for all the evils of
mankind.”
In Circle of Stones: Woman’s Journey to Herself, which is
considered a classic in women’s literature, the author Judith
Duerk writes, “How might your life have been different… if there
had been a place for you to go to be with women, to be with your
mother, grandmothers, sisters, aunts and female friends? A place
for women to be, to return to, to be educated about and to
celebrate womanhood as a woman?” Ms. Duerk has helped me to
reawaken my feminine side from its slumber and as a result I
have become a more capable and loving counselor, father and
husband.
The historical shift from matriarchal to predominantly
patriarchal societies has drastically diminished the rights and
roles of women. This is evidenced by the fact that it has taken
5000 years for women to once again vote, own property, hold
political office, play sports, and even make decisions involving
their own bodies!
Indeed, women experience the world differently from men. In
Women and Their Emotions, the author Miriam Neff states,
“There’s something to be gained from a women’s perspective on
feelings. Women’s feelings are typically more intense than a
man’s.” Dr. Elaine Aron supports Neff’s viewpoint about women’s
heightened emotional intensity in her book The Highly
Sensitive Person. Dr. Elaine notes that 20% of the
population possesses highly sensitive nervous systems, which
translates into increased subtlety of perception of not only the
environment, but of one’s internal states as well. Dr. Elaine
notes that 90% of these highly sensitive persons are women! This
sensitivity is a great advantage in many professions such as
bodywork and counseling because a highly sensitive person can
more easily attune to a client’s emotional and physical
subtleties. I see this acute sensitivity as a dormant psychic
ability which, if consciously applied, could serve mankind as a
Self-empowerment tool to help save the humans.
In Feelings Buried Alive Never Die, the author, Ms.
Truman, states, “Our greatest challenge as human beings is to
effectively communicate with other people what we truly feel.” I
couldn’t agree more. However, according to clinical
psychological studies, the average American adult is an
emotional 14-year old. Most of us were raised by emotionally
immature role models who never learned how to communicate their
feelings effectively. Learning how to identify, experience and
communicate our feelings is crucially important if we are to
live our lives as emotionally mature, consciously awakened
adults.
WHY ARE WOMEN THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF
PEOPLE
WHO ARE PURSUING VARIOUS SELF-HELP THERAPIES?
As highly sensitive females raised in an oppressive,
male-dominated world, many women are screaming out for emotional
freedom. These women have literally no choice but to seek help
in order to surface their feelings and reawaken their buried
intuitions. Men, on the other hand, have been raised in a
society that rewards the use of logic over intuition. As a
result, men “think” that they have little incentive or
motivation to seek help in order to feel their feelings because
they don’t associate feelings with success!
How can womankind, with the cooperation and support of
spiritually attuned men, help to save humanity in a world
obsessed with greed, power and materialism…in a world where
technology has evolved faster than our spiritual consciousness?
STEP ONE: HEAL ONE SOUL AT A TIME, STARTING
WITH MINE
You can only help the world to the degree that you have
helped yourself. You must first be in harmony with yourself
before you can be in harmony with the universe. The word uni-verse
literally translates “one song”.
STEP TWO: ACTUALIZE YOUR SELF-EMPOWERMENT
BY GETTING IN TOUCH WITH YOUR OWN INTUITIVE FEELINGS
Learn how to use the powerful gifts of your heart, love and
feelings. As you learn to let your intuition guide you, it will
speak to you and tell you how you can, in your own unique way,
help to save the humans. You will come to the realization that
everyone is interconnected, in the same way that every cell in
our body is interconnected. Every cell in the body must function
harmoniously for the organism to survive, and the same principle
applies to mankind.
PLEASE REMEMBER: YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Millions upon millions of women and men have already begun
awakening spiritually, and with every person who embarks on the
journey, humanity takes one step closer to achieving the
critical mass of spiritual transformation. Start with your own
spiritual transformation, and help womankind to save the humans.
Namaste my soul friends,
Hu
