There is nothing more attractive, wonderful, and inspiring than being around women who have something awaken inside them - a journey, a calling, an escapade. I really have been pretty lucky to have spent a lot of time with strong women - even raised by 2 who I would do absolutely anything for - women who have got their own dreams notwithstanding all the things they are fed mentally by our society, bloom anyways. They are unique in a world that's training them to be like everyone else. How awesome is that? Above all, women act as moment by moment integrity checkers for men, oracles even, and if you can surround yourself with a group of powerful girls, you may grow beyond belief, have your head lovingly cut off when you aren't being the best man you might be, and you may experience life itself and its gigantic variety of experiences. Like the unpredictable ocean they change and shift by the second, emotions and thoughts swarm...let that help you in finding your solidity. They are going to 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 deflate - they'll destroy you. Seek them out - don't be threatened, women can move mountains. They are to surely be cherished.
The dynamics of my life in moving with female energy has changed just about 180 degrees for lots of reasons. But oh how I have shifted within. Across the course of my life, I highly identified with female energy because I had two amazing and extremely strong and dynamic women in my life - my sister and my mom - who are deeply driven and proficient in what they do. I even had a female dog who was my best friend when I was little and inclined to hit it off with women better than I did with men. I took the best from my dad also, similarly as driven, considerate, inventive and incentivized and turned into a product of my environment and nurturing.
As I went through the deep chaos of my younger years, I was "all that changes and shifts. " My moods, my angles, my emotions, and thoughts...I have described it many times...were like a tornado inside of me that refused to give up. Even when it did stop temporarily, back up it would storm again. Blend that with lacking deep purpose after my baseball career finished and a big mess was made. So I crashed like the sea for a while...and at last found my way to writing.
But recently this dynamic shifted supremely as the bubbling up of my purpose came to me and I started to read, understand, and practice what powerful masculine energy really was. This has not just 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 which 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 steadiness 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 eventually begins to understand this concept, I can tell you...mountains don't just move in front of him...he becomes the mountain. Whatever might happen around him swirls and yet he is absolutely calm, snug, and remains embedded in his deepest desire. 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 existing relationships your friendships, your family dynamics, and how you show up in this fantastic world. It sure did for me. As quickly as this hit - bloom - unfold - open - closing the chasm - joy - honesty - integrity - tenacity through anything.
Women are similar to the ocean. They shift, change, and adjust by the second. In a moment, a peaceful beautiful ocean can change into a collection of rogue waves. As a man, you are there in your small rowboat wondering how the hell you are going to climb up that wave before it crests. Women are life itself. They offer, literally, what it suggests to be alive. Why do you think they call it Mother Nature? Everything that shifts around you is moving energy, a type of power that's uniquely female and can be accessed. But those waves for men who do not and won't understand what it really means to be the captain of their ship can be rocked directly out of the their little boat - I can't tell you how frequently I have been tossed out of my ship or perhaps even bailed before the wave hit. But give a person a purpose, and that wave starts to seem like fun. Moreover, that wave can evoke your most important purpose.
This is the part that truly has changed my life fully.
Every single day I sit down and write, I am completely driven by a variety of energy that is very different from anything that I have experienced before. I sit in my small chair outside on my porch...close my eyes, and breathe as deep down into my stomach as I can. I find that density - that solidity - that love - that emptiness. There's this type of energy that if you focus intently upon it deep enough, it is almost a low frequency lull...that is surprisingly deep and potent. A wavelength which has existed far before everybody and one that will undoubtedly be here forever after. I'll feel it circulate through me often when I am sitting on the mat. Then, I open and observe the things that are going on around me or start to run through the days events - tapping into all of the things that adjusted - and get impressed by all of that energy. That energy runs straight through my writing - and yet, all at the exact same time, I really am here, completely grounded in my place - living as if I was already dead.
Fear, in my heart, disappears.
There I am, grounded, in my deepest purpose, completely and totally inspired by the women around me and that feminine energy...creating, loving seriously and open to all uncertainty. It's this dynamic, the one between the male and the female - and my utilizing both - which has taught me more than anything else. This has opened me up, deeply changed my friendships and helped me continue to discover parts of myself that I didn't know existed. Floods of amazing people have showed up in my life and I can really see the entire thing morphing, only to understand that it will all change and pass...and that is wonderfully OK.
