Looking for the Divine Masculine
To be male includes being a loving human being. Historically, males are the protectors, the warriors, the bread winners and implanters of the seed of life. Women were thought of as the carriers of the vessel of love or the caretakers of the heart, the receivers of the seed of life.
As a male in this society, I was raised by a strong woman who felt there were no sex assigned jobs. There were just jobs that needed to be done. I learned to change diapers, wash and iron clothes and cook. My sisters learned to mow lawns, work on cars and manage decision making, and the budgets of the household. Unity and balance creates a higher sense of wholeness.

Should women man the protection of the planet?
We are here on this planet to engage in life, be loving in life, to address our weaknesses and turn them into strengths. We are the echo of life.
I was also raised by a strong woman, whom after, leaving my father – needed my help to raise her back up when she fell down. My perceptions of the world were given by my mother. The sky above, should by all means work with the earth below – however, the gender war is still in action and there are many women, who as warrior like they have now become, do not like the man, becoming more in touch, with himself – at fear of sexual divide – it is more prevalent, and when – she might need to be… Read more »
