Balancing the Divine Feminine and Masculine - A Sacred Marriage

I used to live this Utopian life where each day was a day to discover myself and the beauty and wonder of life and living. My obligations were loving and co-creating with my children, with nature, with ideas and words, with luscious food, with clients and friends ... on my time table. The gentleman whom I was seeing at the time (and still am-check out what he has to say at my website) used to appreciatively call me a "luxurious darling". He was right; I felt like the lusciously vital subject of a famous 19^th century painter, luxuriously reclined back on a divan with the sense of awe curling my tongue.

I had retreated from an active modernist life in pursuit of a longing within me. I found that longing in the divine feminine. I got to know the fullness and glory of her-only to learn that fulfillment, or in my case authentic power, meant I had a job to do. This job was a soul's calling for this lifehood-which pushed me off the divan and out into the world.

This push did not come from my soul or the divine feminine. In the years I spent getting to know my divine feminine, I also got to know my soul. I learned my soul's role was to challenge me; challenge me to choose light. Yet, it did not have an attachment to whether I did that or not. Yes of course, it wanted me to choose light. But if I did not choose light-it simply accepted I was not ready, and then waited for another ripe opening in my consciousness to challenge again.

No, the push for me to succeed (by heaven's definition) came from an entirely different source. It came from the divine feminine's counterpart, the divine masculine.

The divine masculine is the man inside me I also got to know in this intense period of cosmic understanding. I learned he is there to support and protect the life giving beauty and Good of the divine feminine. And the support and protection of her Goodness also means: he is in support and protection of her success. That success is my success. It is also my soul or this lifehood's mission; which for me is to bring the power of heaven to earth through the attributes of the divine feminine and divine masculine.

As a man, the divine masculine has the sensibilities of earth. Completely aware of the laws of physical, he knew for me to complete this lifehood's calling meant I couldn't frolic in the woods all day with my divine feminine. Though all that play was necessary to get to know my divine feminine, and learn how she deserved honor, I knew from the divine masculine: in order for her to live powerfully on earth, I needed to live her powerfully. Which meant: I needed to introduce the truth of her divine erotic and life giving nature without fear or apology. And this was when he gave me a loving firm nudge and I stepped out into the world.

It is ironic, this relationship I have with my divine masculine. He is the one that pushed me out, and now he is the one saying "You're working too hard. Working harder will not make it get done any faster. Relax. It's only time." And in his confidence I say, "You're right" as I sigh out all my compulsive needs to get this and that done right now.

It is the divine masculine's knowing of physical that has encouraged me to set laws for myself. My laws aren't centered on getting things done. Rather, my laws are about creating the time and space to lavish in the divine feminine. My laws are to consciously replenish my spiritual and physical body with her beauty and radiance. Without these laws that are very specific, I tend to get pulled into life's pandemonium and forget the truth of who I am.

I have swung from the divine feminine that danced and sang all day as if there was no beginning or end, to the unhealthy feminine who wants to work her fingers to the bone to get the house clean, the laundry done, the food prepared before she goes to bed. It's nice to have that man inside me that says, "Hey, I'm watching and taking care of you."

Ultimately, the divine feminine and masculine is about balance. While one might say, "Let's play." The other will say, "We've played all week. We need to work (or co-create in their case) in order to survive, in order to be powerful." Or they may reverse roles depending upon what is out of balance.

When you consider your life, where is it asking to be balanced? Is it the divine masculine that is saying to you, "Slow down" or "Intention is more than just dreaming. Intention needs you to co-create with it in physical. It means; you've got to plan and show up for your own party." Or, is the divine feminine saying, "Look at you. Look how magnificent you are. Let's sit down and enjoy you" as love and tenderness overwhelms you in your feelings about yourself.

In asking yourself this question, I strongly encourage you not to query the answer. Query creates doubt and doubt severs the connection between you and truth, meaning Goddess/God source-your higher Self, your soul, your divine feminine, your divine masculine, your ... all that gives and creates life. You have all the correct answers inside you waiting to be known.

That you are consciously engaged means your intention is aligned. Trust your answer. It takes time to know who is speaking, but in time, this too will be recognized.

So ask yourself: where can I create balance? Trust what you hear; and create it.
