Woman's happy psyche

Lovely writing, Del; all of these and infinitely more she is—the womb of creation. xox

A truly lovely way to start the morning, I’m up very early for a Sunday, it is peaceful….just me and the new day.
I can feel a hip swinging day coming; I’ve a huge smile on my face so that is a great way to start the day.
This poem is fantastic, so affirming my darling. There are changes in my winds, I’m nervous but I’m really feeling ok and know I shall move forward into the unknown future with the same smile I’m wearing now.

This is beautiful. Love the way you wove it into a melodic dance about what a woman is. Love this one. Iris

yay! good for you girl! dance in those self-made shoes and let your courage grow wild and unpruned in the garden you have planted. beautiful write del – strong!

wonderful tribute to an ineffable essence…..

beautiful write…

I love this, it commands respect. You seem to here communicate that being a woman is both universal ie same for all women yet at the same time individual ie each woman has to “re-set” her own instincts, perhaps taking and caring for that raw stuff and allowing it to blossom in ones own way. That is my take anyway.

I once heard a tantric/shiva-shakti thing that suggested that all penises were the same Penis yet all Yoni’s were different, one-offs. I found it a bemusing thing to meditate on, and dont fully understand it, but can definitely see that while we often attribte things like individuation and diversity to the masculine sometimes they more appropriately sit in the feminine realm.

I could feel the confidence in the marvelous write

You make some excellent points, and most certainly people such as me and you can get a picture of the “design” that is how male and female are cosmic processes and very much follow a pattern of some kind even as there are myriad ways for wach to manifest.

It is of course not merely an ideal, as many would label us dreamers for insisiting on the reality of this principle even as life/earth experience deviates from the Tao either intentionally or accidentally. For instance I find myself agreeing very much with what you said of mother-son dynamics yet my find my own experience vastly different and having no father in my formative years I have had to adopt my own masculine in a sick and horrific state in order to find out what I must do to salvage this part of my inner life.

So it seems what we term “hard reality” conflicts with the universal design of male-female. And this is what we are encouraged to accept as “part of life” as in grow up, get on with it sunshine. None of this posturing however makes any difference to the fact that the Divine Principle is unchanging as the stars. If we fall from out connection to Source, we will one day sooner or later have to make our way back, it is as natural as day and night.

Yet while we continue insisting on ignoring natural and universal law in the rather popular “oh I am so full of character now because I have all these bruises and my spirit is mashed to pulp but I am so hip and wise to everything even though my organism is not even pulsing much anymore”... so long as there is this kind of denial which scorns “Idealism”, we will never truly heal. For as a knife is designed to cut, so too is the human organism designed to accumulate life force rather than leak it away in projections, postures and habits.

It may seem a tall order to wanna follow such a Tao, when just surviving seems to occupy so much of our time and energy, but if we do not pay attention to this design I don’t see any other possibility but devolution for the human race. For those who have an opportunity now, I feel they must give it all they’ve got.

I am not sure if you’ve read The Continuum Concept by Jean Liedloff, Id be surprised if someone such as yourself hadn’t come across it, though if you havent I would really recommend the read. This woman, sucessful model and urban civilised girl, went to live in the Venezuelan Jungle with the Yequana Indian, a stone age tribe. These were the happiest people she had ever come across and she spent two years living there finding out why that was. She discovered that these people were raised in such a way that they were never removed from perfection, there is a billion years old evolutionary continuum that they made sure their children were always connected to. This continued their whole life from birth to death.

We have developed a rather strange notion that removing one from Grace somehow is a necessary part of “growing up”, rather like saying an immersion in Hell makes one more mature or something. As such, the straying from perfection is seen as normal and necessary to such an extent that being miserable, sick, neurotic and obsessed with survival is seen as a measure of a good or normal “citizen”. Most people are so happy to avoid disease, poverty, war etc that they see happiness as some fortunate happening and not as an innate birthright, that is; a part of the Design.

Thank you for your most significant response Jim.
Innate birthright is indeed what we ought to be emanating from; if each of us
were to feel that emancipation from birth
[ and a perfect example is the Yequian Indian, no I haven’t read the book but will ]
we would not feel compelled to be motivated by all the things that can eventually
break us down [dire consequence] and/or destruct worthwhile living, natural
creative flowing response.
I’m one to affirm the importance of male role model figuring in the informative years.
There can be solutions to the absence of father figure, such as a lot of contact with
a male relative; I also believe boys need a balance of male/female teachers
in their early schooling. A mother can do her best to be mother and father, but it’s not
enough; one problem being the load responsibilty can work against the mother;
inevitably she will cop the blame for her ’ inadequacies ’. Boys need the roughntumble,
the male voice, and even the male ‘scent’ of father.
Another bad side to the current one parent society is when several ‘mother’s boyfriends’
ie ‘substitute fathers’ are in and out of a kid’s life through those years.
Not altogether mother’s fault in her wanting male company, but the importance
of the early stability in a child’s life should be paramount, and too often the male
presence is for his own advantage,no care no responsibility.
Not that it’s easy for some kids can be resentful; and parenting becomes harder work.

Like you I believe we learn to live when we live with Grace; for as you say Jim,
it’s not all the bruises that build our layers of character; if that were true why are so
many people hurting, many living on antidepressants, or drowning sorrows with
alcohol and drugs; self destructing and of those close to them.
Grace transforms. I believe not just by law, but by faith,
for we can be prisoners by law; deeds for own gain, power, possession.
By faith we can in grace be free. Faith produces action not just a belief; and
actions not in self righteousness but useful deeds.
