Masculine Needs Feminine + Feminine Needs Masculine

I heard someone with millions of followers say that women need men but men don't need women, that the masculine is 'step one.'

This represents a fundamental error and misunderstanding of polarity.

Yang is rooted in Yin, and Yin rooted in Yang.

Masculine needs feminine, and feminine needs masculine.

This wisdom is illustrated in the yin-yang symbol.

To say that masculine does not need feminine is ignorant to the Mother Principle: the feminine births the human race.

The seed comes from the father, but the seed springs forth in reaction to the feminine heart/love/womb.

Is the feminine dependent and the masculine independent? Surface level understanding says yes. Deeper wisdom says not at all.

You can keep going back and forth with the question of 'which came first?' (i.e. Source).

I say, this is the Eternal Mystery, the seeming paradox of the interplay between yin and yang.

Source is the All, the One, neither yin nor yang. Neither and both at the same time.

Figuring out 'who' came first and then worshipping that thing with the other being subservient is a major error in human consciousness, and yet we are starting to wake up to the Truth now.

Polarity integration and true understanding is the way back to Source (the path of soul evolution to enlightenment).

Unfortunately, this is another example of someone with an incredibly large platform that is charismatic and weaving just enough truth in. But the error embedded in her belief system is not a small one - and represents a major distortion in the popular teachings on masculine/feminine.

Someone asked me the other day why I care so much. That's a question I could talk about for hours and hours (and already have...)

This goes WAY beyond an intellectual debate for me. Why? Because the damage is evident in the people I see who are being led onto an inverted path. And I have firsthand experience with this as well, as do most of the men and women in my family line.

When I can feel into how these misunderstandings are causing pain and suffering for humanity at large, and when I have a very different understanding of the way forward, you'd better believe I'm going to talk about it - constantly.

Passion fuels my work and if it didn’t, it would be dry and lifeless, rooted in something other than a soul mission.

The part of the Masculine principle seems to be that of directing a certain inherent energy toward the Feminine principle, and thus starting into activity the creative processes. But the Feminine principle is the one always doing the active creative work-and this is so on all planes. And yet, each principle is incapable of operative energy without the assistance of the other.

Electricity and magnetism, penetrative and receptive - within us all, we have both.

Holding the truth of working with polarity on the external, while simultaneously working with the polarity on the internal, is proving to be a complex, seeming paradox that humanity has not yet grasped.

Only until we develop a true understanding of this - every one of us - will we heal the relationship between men + women. I bet my life on it.

Here's a bit more about yang rooted in yin, and yin rooted in yang.

We know that the shadow of avoidant attachment is anxiousness (fear of abandonment), and the shadow of anxious attachment is avoidance (fear of intimacy).

It's amazing, and shadow integration is part of what leads to secure attachment, in those of us who didn't develop secure attachment from our childhood (which is rare, despite what the 'experts' say. It will become the norm once we begin to heal collectively and pass our wisdom on generationally.)

Once you understand the fundamental truth of polarity integration, you can apply it to everything, all across the board.

Literally nothing is as it seems - and this is a good thing, because it requires us to go deeper, to understand 'paradox,' thereby increasing the level of consciousness within humanity.

To go deeper requires unhooking from short, quick dopamine hits of information and surface level, 'pop' teachings of any kind. True depth requires deep contemplation, integration, application, and practice through the vehicle of your own life, ideally working with people that can support you along the way who are a few steps ahead of you.

I see many people say they are 'doing the work' and this basically entails following some of the big name people preaching consensus reality garbage and reposting some reels that illustrate 'they get it.'

The wheat is now being separated from the chaff.

Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.

- The Kybalion

In effect, here on the 3D earth plane, the relationship between the man and woman is a metaphor. The inner union and outer union happen simultaneously. The yin and yang interplay for eternity.

Relationships are here for our spiritual evolution and the mirror of the 'other' leads us home to the truth of who we are.

The love between humans is very real. I am not trying to diminish this into a spiritual truth. But as above, so below. And love becomes Love, and we understand Truth.
