In these difficult times it is imperative that we Men become more masculine in the true sense of the word. Mostly, we know that masculinity can have two directions and we also know that the opposite polarity, the feminine can also have two directions.
It might be taught to men to be aggressive, destructive, violent and ambitious but these qualities are actually a very primitive version of the need to survive. The problem and the challenge is that when move towards one extreme of ambition, aggression, competition and the rest of it the women also feel the need to do the same. This way everything is out of kilter.
However the positive side of masculinity is that it is initiative, creative, adventurous and really just the same qualities tipped on their head and moving on a somewhat different plane.
In our daily lives, we men need to remind ourselves and remember in what way we are expressing our masculine energy. Is it aggressive without initiative and creativity or is it moving towards this end and purpose?
A man, to be really masculine, has to be adventurous, has to be creative, has to be able to take as many initiatives in life as he can possibly take and to go where others dare not go. He needs courage to do what he fears and the wisdom to try even if the odds are stacked against him. These qualities are the qualities of a positive male.
Man, on his own cannot go so far therefore he will need the counterpart energy of the woman to support him; both the energy of the woman and the man to-gether are a force more than double the sum of its parts; together they are complementaries.
If Man can move in this direction from that of his feverish race towards accumulation, all in the name of his family and security or success and women can move towards receptivity, then as an organic whole they can accomplish much that alone is impossible.
If we do not move in this direction then the misery in the world will continue as most couples seem to be connected in a negative way. There is always hope I feel.
We just need to want happiness badly enough.
Sincerely
SAM
