NOV 12, 2024
Why have we started a political war that divides people based on the amount that they can, or choose to, respect women? Also, why do we continue to refuse to respect each other as human beings?
In no way is this a bash on women or femininity, no way is it a trash of the female body or anything of the sort; in fact, I think that women are divine creatures. We are, or certainly can be, beautifully intuitive, emotionally sovereign beings, full of light and love and magic and even in the darkness of our shadows are we still as strong and as blinding as ever. However, this has been taken away from us. This knowledge that we are sacred and divine and beautifully human. This universal truth that we are sovereign and do not need any body of government or political alignment to stand true and be true to our authentic natures. We have been stripped of our natural way of being, and this is obvious in our world and society today. I’m not trying to create enemies nor are my efforts, in any way, a movement towards any kind of political alignment. I simply have grown quite distasteful towards this ignorant denial of truth that I can no longer ignore it.
Women should be allowed to do whatever it is they see best fit for themselves. This includes any career path they might so choose, any way of life they might so choose, any partner, any fashion sense, any taste in art, music, literature, anything that is within the bounds of being a human being, that should be allowed. And I’m certainly not in support of things not being allowed, like stripping away women’s rights and freedoms. I do not think we need to go backwards. However, there are some things that have been bugging me about this post-modern-feminist-anti-men-women-power-extreme-leftist-agenda. Yeah, that’s right. This kind of feminism, it sucks. I’m not even sure that’s what it is, but I’m going to roll with it.
First let’s say that there are reasons why women are the way we are, as there are reasons why men are the way they are. We are genetically built for specific roles in life. Our DNA is our outline for life, and the least we can do is respect it. Obviously, we no longer live in a world where we need to be constantly foraging and thinking about storing food for winter because we have the luxuries of modern technology, but honestly you might find solace in the simple art of foraging, and this is something that is encoded within us, we cannot escape this truth. Just saying, nature is magical. The reflections one might find in nature can be so much more powerful than any kind of political trend. Yes, the internet has ruined us, but we can still be strong!
In no way am I homophobic, or transphobic, or hateful towards any demographic, I wish I could support all these wild and fanatical political movements, but just because I am a woman does not mean I should or have to. Even though these political agendas make me feel bad for trying to take a stand on this issue because I don’t want to offend anyone, as hurting someone in a way that disrupts their way of life and being would be a direct denial of my own beliefs on acceptance and wholeness within myself and within what I wish to see in the world. I simply wish to say how I feel and speak freely on the matters I am witness to and have heard from others around me.
I speak for the truth. That is all.
If we are to look at history, like most of us choose to ignore, we might see the signs. The state that America finds itself in is awfully similar to the latter stages of the Roman Empire. Luckily, I find myself in a place that is not seeing the worst of it. I can only assume what larger populated cities look like, especially concerning those along the west coast. . . Symptoms of this include our poor tastes in leadership, politically and beyond, inflation, job crises, uneducated populations and the entire issue with our education system (by that I mean we are no longer teaching people how to think for themselves, we are teaching them what to think. . . yikes!), the wide divide between classes (politically, racially, and financially), gender-related confusion, housing crises, architectural failure, health crises, the inability to accept others as they are. I mean the list just goes on and on. Now you may be thinking that this is the end, that our society is ending and doomed to fail. You might even be thinking that the world is ending, but it’s not! Not yet! Don’t be so pessimistic. I got your back! There’s plenty of things we can do as human beings of the Earth in order to move forward.
It might seem like a stretch, but we still can change and adapt. We can accept each other as we are and move forward in peace and wholeness. I know it’s terrifying, but I don’t think any of us really want to fight anymore. At least I don’t. And I think people who do enjoy violence and want to fight and wreak havoc are no longer human. They are disruptions in our framework of collective consciousness and need help, but that help should not meet violence with violence. We need to learn how to understand each other and love away the hurt and pain and terrible things in this world. That is the only way to get beyond the fear. Only through love will we conquer. And maybe we have already won this war. I know love always wins.
The other day I was told that a news program was lecturing people on staying away from family during this upcoming holiday season if the family’s political beliefs differ from their own. Also yikes! What the fuck? I do not watch the news for many reasons. Personally, I choose to read and be specific about what it is I consume, especially news based media because, like this example, so much of it is toxic! I’d perfecter to go back to newspaper, just saying. . . Also, so much of modern news media is misleading and propagandist and based in fear and seeks out to control people and disorient them to the point of mind numbing braindead-ness. So, I do not entertain any news programs, especially not the larger organizations. I already know there’s evil in the world, I do not seek to know the specifics. This might be a counterintuitive statement, but this does not mean I am ignorant to current affairs, it just means that I am mindful and I know how to read between the lines. I also know that what I am speaking about is a very specific demographic, but it has also given me the grounds to discuss other issues residing in the realm of our society.
As a woman, I personally do not want to do everything myself. I am probably not a feminist at all, but I am not against those who choose and wish to do everything and be a ‘powerful woman’ or do everything that a man can. Personally, I believe there is a certain kind of power that comes with being a woman in general, having the emotional strength to endure life and the spiritual intuitiveness that comes with being in the sacred feminine energy. I honestly want and probably need the support from other people, whether it is from a man or just friends and family, I value others, and I value my loved ones, even if I disagree with them. We are at a place in time where offending others is terrifying and disagreeing with anyone, even for the sake of argument is frowned upon and also terrifying. I mean if you read my essay up until this point, you’d have read that I do not wish to hurt anyone or offend anyone, which is still true. However, I am okay with other people having different opinions and different ways of life and so forth. I honestly don’t care if you choose to hate me for the things I say, for I know that is a direct reflection of your own character, and I am certainly not offended. I think we should be more comfortable with disagreement and different opinions, and we should have respect for such, because we are not all the same, we can never be, it is only human to be different from one another. This is an issue that I think resides mostly in our education system, where people do not know how to think for themselves. So we see these issues acting out in today, women shaving their heads, expelling men and dating and sex and relationships from their lives just because we have elected another head to ‘run’ the country, when really, if we paid attention, we would know that this person has almost nothing to do with actual legislature and that they are merely a puppet acting out a play to entertain us all while the masters make all the moves behind the scenes. If women were stripped of our rights and forced to live in a version of The Handmaid’s Tale, then my golly, but I think this is an irrational fear and too dystopian for actual reality. Despite the fact that is it probability, it is not extremely likely.
Specifically, let’s talk about abortion rights. For the sake of argument I will entertain both sides of this disturbing phenomena. First, if you’ve never had an abortion or have never considered one or know anyone who has or know anything about the medical, emotional and spiritual effects, you quite honestly should not have any reason to speak about the topic. So, this includes women and people of the like who are the piranhas looking for a meaty fight, and also those of political power that think they know something about feminine heath and the female body. So much of this fight has to do with the argument of a woman getting pregnant by a rapist or something and then being forced to have the child, and also that of dangerous pregnancies. First, both of these situations are kind of rare and do not happen every day. Also, the amount of actual rapists and pedophiles or whatever are not actually that many, and most of them are probably receiving their karma or behind bars. This is another effect of the internet that has proven to be extremely distasteful. To the argument that goes for dangerous pregnancies, I’d have to consider that in most cases the mother was not given the proper information about her uterine heath and tried anyway. This, or any kind of unknown tragedy. That is her own risk, but it is not her fault. Usually, trained professionals will do everything and anything they possibly can to save both lives, but this is a sad fate of life, we cannot save everyone. Moreover, a life that grows inside of a mother, although it may seem so and science may will it so, is not a parasite. It is indeed, a potential human life. Please, for the love of god, just have a little respect for the wildness of existence. This is awesome! Why do we have to be so distasteful towards the miracle of life! Just let it be, drop the argument, please, it is such poor taste. But I understand, there are so many lives in this world that need help, and overpopulation is a valid issue, but there are also ways of living and existence that we can agree to that does not disrupt the environment, no matter how many people walk the Earth. Honestly, I think it’s awesome that the sacred mother can contain so many human souls. Maybe all we need is a perspective change?
There have been so many moments in my life where I have wished myself to be a resident of some other country, but America is relatively new compared to the rest of the world, so I figure I should give it a chance, and maybe in time it will mellow out and we can all look back at this point in time, probably after some kind of civil war and just giggle because we managed to survive. I might go so far as to say that some of these extreme leftist women and people of the like might be right, I mean who am I to judge someone else for their political stance and ways of life or thinking. I am merely considering the history of humanity and the science behind our economic, political and environmental issues of today. I merely consider the ancient spiritual pursuits of our ancestors. . . So who am I to judge?
There was a time in American history where the woman-man partnership was valued and I relish in the thought of this happening again. I am inclined to believe in the spiritual attributes of this kind of partnership, for not only the sake of my argument, but also for my beliefs. It is important to have men, not only in the world but also in relationships. I do not want to be forced to be a housewife, but if I had the choice, all I’m saying is, it might be nice to be somewhat of a housewife. Obviously I value my career choices and the choices I make as a free woman, but to be in my own house that I get to decorate, cook meals in, clean to my standards and work on my projects all day long. To have real neighbors and a safe space to live and breathe as I wait for my husband to come home. That sounds nice. I am a sucker for simplicity. And I know this is a cookie cutter 60s housewife kind of example, that’s not really what I’m looking for, but there were some important values there. For example, the feminine role in living, how important it is to have a sacred clean space, how important eating good food, i.e. food made with love and from the soul is, and how important the motherly nurturing role is in parenting. That is not to say that the role of the masculine is not important, it is just as important! The model of strength and endurance for life and living, and the support that the home and mother and children need to survive is crucial for any partnership or relationship. I do not want to feed into the world of modern dating standards and I am saddened that this is something we no longer value. People today get married for all the wrong reasons, where there is no love. I just want to bring back the love. There are, after all, some things from the past that were kind of right, not everything has to be forgotten and left behind. We don’t have to go back to the past, but we can remember the history we have here and remember the sacredness of our ancestors and move forward with this as inspiration. We can be more than the divide we have created amongst each other. Not all men are bad guys! This is the opposite of what we need to be moving towards. We should be moving towards togetherness, unity, wholeness. But if you are going to tap out and decidedly believe yourself to be better, for the sake of your ego and your political stance then I cannot stop you. And I get it, a partnership of any kind is challenging, it is not perfect and it is not meant to be. A marriage, specifically, is not going to be 50/50 100% of the time, it is going to be 90/10 one day and 60/40 the next. It is about mutual support and understanding. A failure to acknowledge that your partner is in fact, human, will get you no where. No one is perfect. No one will check every single box. And maybe that person exists, but I don’t think it’s about finding a very specific soulmate that checks every single box. Besides, we are constantly changing and adapting, so you might feel completely differently in ten years anyway, but that’s the point. I think it’s a choice you have to make. Where relationships should not be transactional, no matter how much it seems that way, that is not a true partnership. A true partnership remembers the sacredness of life and the imperfect balance that is necessary, this is beyond the bounds of transactional what-can-you-do-for-me attitudes, and the chance to find that perfect person. Sometimes, the choice you make is more than a perfect person, it is someone who challenges you to be better, someone who fights for you, someone who genuinely cares and loves you, no matter your differences. Someone who’s there for you from the moment you meet until the day you die. Sometimes it's better with the challenge. It makes you stronger.
I’d like to remember God as the source of life, and the reasons why this country was founded. I’d like to remember the simplicity of life and love and happiness and what it means to be alive, the simplicity of weaving the web of life. I’d also like to remember those who walked this land before us, the natives of the Americas, for their blood should never be forgotten, we walk their land. The land of our sacred Mother Earth. I’d like to remember these truths and I’d like to remind others to remember them too.
Ultimately, this kind of modern movement that seems to be so far against sacred femininity sucks, and I can only hope that we learn to remember how to keep the sacredness alive.
