A Wounded Polarised World

Flora perched herself on the floor, the soft music by Chantress Seba playing in the background, guiding her fingertips as she lost herself in the typing. She felt a compulsion bigger than herself to share a message:

“It’s unfortunate that many women forget about their innate power. Our power of creativity. We are creators at our core. Fluid. Unpredictable. Flowing. Passionate. Abundant. Messy. Delicate. Resilient. Emotional. Curious. Magical. Just like the moon.. she shines bright, taking up space, then retreats, occasionally showing glimpses of herself.. omnipresent, but never over-imposing.”

Pausing.. Flora surveilled her environment. She smiled as the fun, geometric portraiture art work by Deborah Segun smiled back at her. She intently observed the beautiful flower the portraiture inhales. As though in synch, Flora also inhales. And deeply, slowly, she exhales.

The beauty in the small things.

“The capitalist system drains us of our magic. Not only does it drain us, it was designed to claim and suppress us of our innate magic. The world is wounded, and its inhabitants as a result, are also wounded.

Inhale. Exhale

“The only way to reclaim back our Power. The only way for the Divine Feminine to be reclaimed, is to re-balance. The Feminine cannot be re-balanced without a healthy Masculine foundation. The sobering truth is that we are operating on a wounded masculine compass – contemporary society.

The wounded masculine capitalist compass is aggressive, cold, distant, constantly active, fuelling competition, withdrawn, bullying, unable to communicate, a dictator, reactive, self-absorbed, afraid of failure and ignores the intricacies of human emotions.

How then, can the feminine flourish, when her polarising counterpart, the foundation she trusts to balance herself on, is wounded?

To Core Divine Feminine; It is not your job to fix the wounded masculine society that you find yourself in.

Your job is to shield yourself from its effects by embodying your full essence: Hone your intuitiveness – be fluid, heart-centered, stay creative, surrender, create, be compassionate, rest, stay sensual, feel your emotions, connect to nature, be authentic to your true self and most importantly, stay trusting.

Believe… because hope and trust is our superpower. Representation matters.

Many of our sisters have been infected by this wounded system. Having had no choice but to adapt their core essence to maintain their survival.

In the same way that genes adapt, in the same way that nature adapts, our Feminine essence also adapts.. it adapts when it has been infected by an unfamiliar foundation. The wounded feminine is amongst us, and its important to recognise it, and to not judge; but with empathy.. recognising that our society has made her to personify with wounded symptoms of irrationality; desperation; neediness; manipulativeness; insecurity/needing external validation; inauthenticity; obsessiveness; a perpetual victim; hyper-critical; projecting her emotions unto others; lacking boundaries; constantly anxious; fearing of loss and seeking of external safety.

Indeed, many have found themselves victims of contemporary society’s wounded masculine foundation and as a result, its inhabitants have succumbed to its wounded structure. Those Core Masculines, brave enough to not fully have succumbed to the soul sucking trap of capitalism – will be recognisable in their embodying of the following traits:

For Core Feminines, not only will your whole being naturally be attracted to his essence, his assured and gentle leadership.. but his healthy magnetism will shine forth in such a blinding manner, that even with the perceived protection of your stylish sunglasses; it will simply be impossible to ignore. His rays of sunlight far too bright and imposing.. authoritatively penetrating through; because polarity is the essence of life.

In the turbulent and wounded times that we are in, only a select few Core Masculines are enlightened enough to embody these healthy traits – and with their overpowering sun-rays, rising above the grandiose, yet empty pit of the capitalist structure – only a few can provide safety; witness without judgement; be present without a goal; with integrity and awareness; guiding; committed to the truth, listening deeply, supportive and encouraging, facing their fears with a deep awareness of death, with humility, seeking of mentorship, reflective; peaceful and grounded, observing beyond what is seen and responding without reacting…

…only a few are emotionally intelligent and assured enough to combat and fully embody these healthy masculine qualities. Boldly standing against the divisive and oppressive cultural, economic and increasingly globalised structure that we find ourselves in.

Divine Feminine and Divine Masculines.. Like attracts like.

Only few remain that truly personify each of these qualities, and that is not something to be celebrated – it is a cause for concern.

Creating, is the Divine Feminines way of spreading awareness.- Art, Music, Writing, whatever form that may take shape- the message is to be spread:

One love, to our wounded world.

Trusting in Healing.

Stay fluid – Never Static and Never Lose Your Light.

Love Always, because Love always wins.”

Flora smiled, took a deep sigh and with an overwhelming sense of joy and fulfilment, closed her laptop. Her job was done.
