There's little more attractive, wonderful, and electrifying than being around women who have something awaken inside them - a journey, a calling, an expedition. I've been pretty supremely lucky to spend a lot of time with robust women - even raised by 2 who I would do anything for - women who have got their own dreams notwithstanding all of the crazy things they are fed mentally by our society, bloom anyways. They are entirely unique in a world that's coaching them to be like everything and everybody else. How incredible 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 group of strong ladies, you'll grow incredibly, have your head lovingly cut off when you are surely not being the best man you could be, and you'll experience life itself and its vast variety of experiences. Like the ocean they change and shift by the second, intense feelings and thoughts swarm...let that help you to find your solidity. They'll test you with their darkest moods and feelings - only to have them feel you are immovable, the mountain, inevitably going to be there irrespective of what and firm in your purpose. These are gifts, not hinderances. These guiding relationships create you, but if you weaken and deflate - they'll destroy you. Seek them out - don't be at all intimidated women can move mountains. They are to be respected.
The dynamics of my life in moving with female energy has changed nearly 180 degrees for lots of reasons. But oh how I have shifted deep inside. Across the course of my life, I highly identified with feminine energy because I had 2 very strong and powerful women in my life - my sister and my mother - who are very driven and accomplished in what they do. I even had a female dog who was my best friend when I was very little and inclined to get along with women better than I did with men. I took the best from my dad also, equally as driven, loving artistic and persistent and changed into a product of my environment and nurturing.
As I went through the turmoil 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 inside of me that declined to quit. Even if it did stop briefly, back up it would storm again. Mix that with lacking deep purpose after my baseball career stopped and an enormous mess was made. So I crashed like the ocean for a while...and eventually found my way to writing.
But 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 strong masculine energy actually was. This has not only opened up my world, but has opened up the worlds of the great men who live around me. There's an idea that has entered into my mind that has stuck with me for months now, and it's the idea of the mountain. That solidity - identifying with what does not change in this world. The undoubtable stability of being absolutely 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 finally begins to understand this idea, I will tell you...mountains don't just move in front of him...he becomes the mountain. Whatever happens around him swirls and yet he is absolutely calm, planted, and remains rooted in his deepest wish. To find your purpose is far more than just what you do for work - it should be a direct leader in your life and will color your relations, your friendships, your family dynamics, and how you show up in this fantastic world. It did for me. As quickly as this hit - bloom - unfold - open - closing the chasm - joy - truth - integrity - tenacity through anything.
Women are similar to the flowing ocean. They shift, change, and adjust by the second. In just a second, a tranquil ocean can turn into a sequence of rogue waves. As a man, you are there in your tiny boat wondering how the heck you're going to climb up that wave before it crests. Women are life itself. They offer, literally, what it implies to be alive. Why do you actually think they call it Mother Nature? Everything that shifts around you is moving energy, a type of power that's uniquely feminine energy and can be accessed. But those waves for men who do not understand what it actually means to be the captain of their ship can be rocked out of the their boat - I cannot tell you how often I have been tossed out of my boat or even bailed before the wave hit. But give a person a purpose, and that wave starts to look like fun. Moreover, that wave can induce your most significant purpose.
This is the part that has changed my life completely.
Every single day I sit right down and write, I am absolutely driven by a kind of energy that's very different from anything that I have experienced before. I sit in my tiny chair outside on my porch...close my eyes, and breathe as deep 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, you will find a low frequency lull...that is exceptionally deep and dynamic. A wavelength that really has has existed far before everyone and one that willbe here forever after. I'll feel it circulate through me infrequently when I am sitting on the mat. Then, I open and observe the things that are going on around me or begin to run through the days events - utilizing all the things that unpredictably changed - and get galvanized by all of that energy. That energy runs straight through my writing - and yet, all at the same time, I'm here, absolutely grounded in my place - living as if I was already dead.
Fear, in my heart, disappears.
There I solidly am grounded, in my deepest purpose, absolutely and totally electrified by the women around me and that amazing feminine energy...creating, loving seriously and open to all uncertainty. It's this dynamic, the one between the male and the female - and my using both - that really has taught me more than anything else. This has opened me up, modified my relations, and helped me continue to discover parts of myself that I never knew existed. Floods of amazing people have showed up in my life and I can see the whole thing morphing, only to grasp that it will all change and pass...and that really is wonderfully O.K.
