The Value of the Feminine
You have a huge capacity within you that has access to vast amounts of information.You can access information about what is happening right now about you; you can access what is going on with other people; you can perceive what is needed for a group of people; you can find out what is behind your behavior; you can help someone else connect to their information; you can create agreement; you can get help; you can receive guidance; you can perceive love; you can access deep storehouses of love within you; you can project the future; you can communicate without saying a word; you can hear what others are really saying behind their words…the capacities are huge.These capacities all derive from the feminine capacity within all of us. They are particularly present in women people.Much of Inquiry Method is based on our ability to connect with the qualities of the feminine. My capacity to work with people is a combination of my ability to use my masculine energy but even more critically, to connect with my feminine capacity.It is critical for our future that we learn to value and use this energy, this perspective.Women, we need you to learn to connect deeply with your feminine capacity. We need you to inform us of what is needed, what is wanted, what is missing, to heal our families, our communities, our businesses, and our culture. We need you to speak up and speak from this knowing. You don’t need to solve it (that is the masculine capacity) just bring the lack or need to our attention.Men we need, not only be able to access our own feminine, but to learn to cherish and listen to the women around us for guidance, even when it doesn’t seem to make sense to us. We need the feminine to let us know when we are off track, when we have stopped serving what is wanted, what is best for all of us.Men, we need to protect women, help them feel safe, so they can give us their love in the form of guidance and awareness. They will point the way, and then we can focus on doing, building, fixing, and solving the problems, but we should always be informed by the feminine.We must all together find the balance and synergy of the ideal blend of masculine and feminine that will serve to resolve the problems at every level of human interaction and achievement. We cannot survive by emphasizing one over the other, these two voices must amplify each other; it is possible and beautiful if we're able to learn the knack of it.
