There were two movements that started to gain momentum in the nineteen sixties. One was the ‘peace movement’ and the other was the ‘Feminist movement’. More and more people are becoming aware that there is a major consciousness shift that is either in progress or is about to happen. The debate about what form this will take is both a controversial and a ‘hot ‘topic. However; everybody can see that the world is currently going through major changes and the people who are the most challenged by this building momentum are the ones in power and control. The people who stand to benefit most from the changes are the ones who have been suppressed and oppressed. We are also moving out of a world dominated by the masculine energy into a world that will be heavily influenced by the feminine energy. Hopefully; the eventual outcome will be a world in which the masculine and feminine energies are balanced.
We know that to find a balance in any energy, one polarity has to be counteracted with equal force by its opposite polarity to create the balance. If the stronger of the two forces becomes less, the less of the opposite energy is needed to balance it. The best harmony is found when there is almost no difference between the opposing forces. True spiritual balance and Inner peace are found when there is no variation in the associated energies. There are no highs and lows – only an experience of calm and feeling centred. If anybody is living the highest truth in any part of their life then they know what this feels like.
In the western world; the feminist movement started out with very powerful women at its helm. These women were often labelled as extreme feminists. They had to be powerful and extreme to be able to counteract the strong masculine dominance. They were the warriors that paved the way for others to follow. Equality for women is slowly but surely progressing in the western world and therefore the feminists do not have to be as extreme. Now days; more and more women are being placed into positions of power. They are slowly bringing in the energy needed to create the masculine /feminine balance which is essential to create the harmony. It is not possible to have harmony without balance because harmony is the result of balanced energy.
Many males feel very threatened by the new dynamics created in relationships by this rising energy. They do not understand it and would rather stay in the chauvinistic world of male domination. They do not realise that this new balance will happen regardless of their resistance because it is the destined result of our spiritual evolution. This new paradigm of equality is an essential ingredient of the current consciousness shift. This also means that it is just as much about the balance of the masculine / feminine within each person as it is between man and woman.
Males and females need to understand the different, but complimentary rolls of the masculine / feminine energies within and what they mean to achieving that inner peace and harmony. As was stated; it is not possible to have total inner peace without the balance of these two energies. If the human race is to evolve to the next stage of its evolution; it has to embrace and celebrate the rise of the feminine energy to help create balance in the new paradigm.
