This blog title probably has captured a lot of attention and raised eyebrows.
The post is going to cover a wide range of topics all relating back to what I'm going to refer to as "The feminine".
...As of late I've been doing a lot of growing and maturing. Credit for which I cannot and will not totally accept. It's the people I've met and interacted with, the teachings and ideas planted in my mind and soul young coming to fruition, it's my aging, searching, learning and natural growth, and finally and most importantly it's my embracing and humbling myself before one who is greater than myself and all I know. Without this last element in my life, without this humility and conscious casting aside of EGO, ARROGANCE, PRIDE, and INTELLECT I will have been living the same empty existence, growing physically and mentally but not spiritually that I've been living for some almost 4 years now. One of the things I've decided to give voice and attention to is "The Feminine."
To jump right into it, this concept refers to all that is feminine in nature. The feminine aspects of human beings (MALE and female), the MOTHERLY aspects of Nature and the Earth, SUSTAINING aspect of the MOST HIGH and exalted being that many refer to as God and its MANY MANY other names. In today's backward and confused society you have misplaced focus. Misplaced in that it's properly placed by those who aim to confuse and impede development. Misplaced in that we, those that make up society focus on the these distractions and allow them to hold us back, to deny ourselves total fulfillment and to engage in acts and ideas that serve to fill this void but can't.
I want to reference the eastern philosophic concepts of yin and yang, positive and negative, masculine and FEMININE. These concepts are often translated to Good and Evil here in the western world. A translation that is incorrect and off target. With the concepts of Good and Evil you have two opposing sides that fight at what seems a constant stalemate. In this fight exists limited options...here or there, this side or that side, right or wrong, black or white. I find, if my understanding of these concepts are correct, Yin and Yang aren't at battle or a stalemate at all. That Yin and Yang are at an understanding. That there exists no compulsion or force, no here or there, right or wrong, etc. That with Yin and Yang there exists harmony, balance, peace, and UNDERSTANDING. That to every situation that arises there is a positive or negative approach to dealing with it however it's not a right or wrong, good or bad, this or that.
Back to the feminine...it's the aspect in life most men (especially westerners)and some women neglect. It's the aspect in our nature that would prevent war, encourage peace, and connect us to the world in such a way that is unimaginable. The soul exists in the feminine, the ability to give life, to carry life, to NURTURE life. The ability for compassion, for understanding and love, to exhibit WISDOM all exist in the feminine. The appreciation of art, music, poetry, the ability to create and so much more... With pride and ego flooding our existence and the over intellectualization of thoughts, feelings, scenarios, technology, politics and everything the mentioned interacts with, it's easy to see why we exist in the state we do...why we destroy our women and our children instead of building them up and raising them, why we destroy our earth...why we deny our God...why we cannot FEEL the living force flowing through our bodies (sorry to get cliche with you all but it's TRUE!)
The feminine exists in all things of FAITH and WILL...the manifestation of anything in this world comes first through INSPIRATION. Embracing the feminine isn't pledging yourself to a world of domination by women, or changing your belief in a God to that of a Goddess... It's not emasculating yourself so that you appear as a female...It's accepting what already exists in you...it's understanding what exists in your woman...your mother, your sister, your aunt...it's understanding the power of your God. In today's society most men are afraid of "catching the gays" ... accepting the feminine has nothing to do with homosexuality or even "metro" sexuality. Embracing the feminine is about maturity...growth...acceptance...SECURITY. I invite you all...men and women alike...explore and accept it and transform into a being of light!

This a very interesting read. Good work as usual, Rahkim. i also think embracing the feminine aspect, leaves us open to accepting new ideas. And better ways to get from point a to point B.
