The Beauty of the Feminine Aspect of Creation

A tropical rain forest, a bubbling mountain spring, the wind in the trees, and the moon shining full on a cloudless night—each gives us a picture of the beauty of the feminine aspect of creation. A plentiful harvest, a mother and child, poetry, music, art, and dance—all glimpses into the beauty of the feminine in All That Is. Pillaged forests, global warming, draught, and diminishing natural resources—all give us a picture of the wounded feminine. Rape, child abuse, exploitation, and budget cuts in the arts—all glimpses of the wounded feminine in All That Is. The essence of true beauty in the feminine aspect is found in an environment that allows for the receptive, conceptive abilities to nurture and create.

The Golden Hour

You’ve heard about the “golden hour”? It’s that magical amount of time that exists to respond to a medical emergency in order to achieve the optimum chance of recovery—for instance, in a stroke.

Don’t think you can afford to spend one hour a day pursuing spiritual interests? Do you think that’s an expensive number considering how many other commitments you have in your life? Just stop for a moment and consider the alternatives. The automobiles we drive require a ce

The Wounded Masculine

The term masculine I am referring to is the male/sun qualities within each gender. In using it I am not making reference to gender. The masculine qualities are the acting/doing qualities in both men and women. The masculine quality is the seed or idea that is planted in the soil/womb of the feminine. Our masculine quality is our acting out or manifesting ideas in the world that have been created in the feminine. In Jungian psychology, the masculine aspect of the psyche is the animus. The wounded masculine aspect in our culture and world is evidenced in an abuse of power. It is the male aspect that feels it is not strong enough and so it overcompensates by being aggressive, filled with bravado, and disrespectful of the viewpoint and boundaries of others (think Clinton/Lewinsky). This wounding is evident in both genders. It is the reason that abused women stay in abusive relationships, or that they escape from one abusive relationship just to enter another one. For example, a wom
