When my wife approached me about earthships, living off grid and the legal system years ago, I had my serious doubts. Most people are surprised when I tell them that all the work I do now and write about profusely, all started from ideas that my wife brought to the table. I went through six months of frustration, anger and resistance before I managed to work past my own ego and actually 'see' what she was talking about.
Here is where life gets interesting. I decided to pursue these ideas and I also took the risks in order to protect her and the boys while we tested the viability of it all. I would never have done that if we had not reconciled our relationship and built a level of trust that transcends space and time. I saw it as my duty to sacrifice myself in order to protect my family. What I've come to learn from the experience is that the divine feminine has a sight, insight and intuition on matters of peace and prosperity that I did not have. Whether it comes from spirit or her own experiences of being a mother, the desire for peace is strong as most women feel fear throughout their lives.
Our squash exploded and is taking over the garden! Four feet high and 12-15 feet wide.
If I had over ruled her and used my superior strength and privileged authority to push forward my agenda, I would most likely not be with her today. But I did something that most guys think is crazy. I surrendered to the divine feminine and I allow her to guide and direct where we go in our lives. My job is to ensure that the risks we take don't end up putting our lives in jeopardy. That required me to do some serious work to evaluate risk and make contingency plans to ensure her safety.
Fifteen years later, we both sit on the other side, amazed at what we accomplished. Who would have thought that we could completely change our lives, walk away from everything we knew and live among the birds and the trees. My wife had a vision I don't have, but now see. I trust that vision and I work hard to not suppress it in any way.
The vision is pushing us for more change as we are working to go mobile. That may take a year or two, but it sounds like another wonderful adventure with more learning and experiences. It will require that we UNGRIP even more than we have, to push that envelope and explore just how deep this relationship with Creator actually goes.
Guys, most of us may not realize this, but women are scared ... a LOT. They don't show it often, but it is there. What will it take for us to realize how our own behaviours impact the feminine energy in our lives? What do you think will happen if we govern ourselves with honour and integrity so that the feminine energy could come out of her shell and express herself as Creator intended? What kind of changes will we see in our world if the divine masculine and feminine found balance with one another and learned how to work and play with one another? Do you think that it would make a difference?
Potato patch doing very well!
Can you say 'CHANGE THE WORLD'?
As a guy, my ego had to take a serious shit kicking in order for me to start listening. The challenge is that a lot of ladies embraced the masculine in order to survive and end up suppressing the feminine within. That is how scared they are and it is deeply troubling and very sad to witness. I had a friend feel safe enough around me to release her grip on the masculine and allowed herself to fully embrace the feminine. It was the most beautiful and amazing experience for her and for me. Imagine somebody feeling safe and secure enough to be completely free! When she talks, I listen! She is a very powerful feminine energy and frankly, that scares a lot of men. Most guys will try to suppress that energy. For me, I love being around that energy. I find great satisfaction and honour when the feminine feels safe and secure around me, especially when they surrender to it and let go! They soar like eagles among the stars.
I want to provide a safe container to allow that energy to be free. It is the biggest expression of love that I can find. When ever I have worked on projects that were driven by this energy, they have been amazing and life altering. The vision to change the world rests with the divine feminine being allowed to speak her peace and the masculine getting to work to make it happen.
In order for that to happen, we need to embrace non-violence in all forms. It is astounding just how violent society is, down to the words we use and even our body language. Is it any wonder that violence is the standard to modern institutions? They will do anything to prevent the divine feminine from feeling safe and expressing itself.
I've personally experienced the magic and amazing transformations that can result when we chose peace and provide a safe space for the feminine. Whether that is the feminine within each of us, or those who express the feminine outwards for others to experience. Peace, freedom, prosperity, joy and love are the planters for the divine feminine to not only sprout and grow, but to flower and make this world beautiful beyond measure.
Time to get to work to build those flower boxes guys! Life on this planet depends on this work getting done! Institutions will crumble!
