The Vast Unknown

From the Void we came and to the Void we will return. So why is it that so many people try to avoid the Void? It is because it is the unkown. In fact, it is the unknowable. We have all sorts of human theories about what lies ahead once we leave this realm, and what it was that brought us here to begin with. Truth be known, it is all unknown. Personally, I find that to be quite comforting. I like the comfort of adventure. I have never been one who has enjoyed the rules in life, nor have I found much comfort in them. I am more of a Free Radical. That is exactly the sort of person that the rules were designed to control and manipulate. That way the dreary masses can have a sense of security. They don't have to deal with unusual things or unusual people.

Really, it has been the unusual ones among us that have dragged the world, kicking and screaming, into the 21st Century! It is the unusual ones who have brought to the world the realization that the entire Universe does not revolve around us, but that we are a part of the Universal flow and as such revolve around something greater than ourselves. An interesting concept that got some folks imprisoned and even executed, but it was, nonetheless, truth.

It is the unusual ones among us that bring to the public attention that there is more to this world than just what is physically apparent. There is an essential energy that is flowing in between all the neutrons and electrons and that flows within, through and around us constantly. This, too, has led to many being imprisoned, tortured and executed over the centuries. All this oppression is only because the awareness that has been communicated is something that challenges the authorities that be.

I have always been one of those unusual people. One would think that, living in this wonderful country and in the 21st Century, one would be safe to disclose information such as this. But when I was a teenager, and a young one at that, local people who did not like the fact that I viewed things in a non-fundamentalist fashion, took it upon themselves to try to burn our family farm down every year for 3 years running. They were scared. And they were a mob. So instead of allowing things to escalate beyond control I chose to move away from my family and finish my schooling elsewhere.

I always knew that I was meant to do things to help humanity shake off the cloudy illusions that they held so near to their hearts. I continue to do this. Every day this is a part of what I do. I create a safe environment in which someone can explore some of the "unknown" and be okay with that and know that they are not crazy for thinking outside the box. This helps humanity, one person at a time, to increase consciousness. I write this blog because I have a mass of readers who need to be inspired and know that they are also okay for thinking and feeling the way that they do. For me, this is a service to humanity, to the world, and thus to the Universe. I, like many others among us, have been brought here for that purpose. I invite all my readers to boldly step into their power and into their expanded consciousness and, one person at a time, share what they know and what they have learned. It is not all just up to me. We are all in this together. Bring humanity back into the Heart consciousness. Help humanity to embrace the Divine Feminine into their consciousness, not as a replacement for the Divine Masculine, but as a partner to the Divine Masculine. Both are needed, not just one or the other. That is what the entire shift is all about. It does not need to be a pendulum that swings from one extreme to the next. It can rest in the centre, in perfect harmony, in perfect love, as expressed through each and every one of us.

Blessed Be

The Masculine Revolution

Seems to me we need a Masculine Revolution. The only trouble with that is that men as a group don't tend to get organized and network as well as do women when it comes to revolutions. If the revolution has something to do with war and kicking serious butt, then yes, men are all over that. But when it comes to an actual revolution of consciousness, then men tend to preoccupy themselves with the football game and such. I'm a man. I know these things. I have been there and done that, and quite frankly, it got very boring very quickly.

So what the heck do I mean by a Masculine Revolution? Well, we are finding as men that our roles in society are changing radically and rapidly. Our roles as fathers are now not just "providers" and emotionally absent "kings of the castle", but are nurturers and caregivers. We now do things like clean bathrooms. We do these things because they need to be done, not because our wives and live in partners have nagged us to do them. We are becoming more conscious of how bloody hard our mothers worked themselves into the ground while our fathers ignored it and preoccupied themselves with the football game. Don't get me wrong, I love football. But there is a time and a place for everything. So now we no longer "help out" around the house and "babysit" our own kids. I hate it when I am with my children and someone says to me,"So you are babysitting today?" ARRRRGH!!!! I am caring for my children! I am their FATHER! That is what fathers do now days, so get on the same page and know that there is nothing (NOTHING) more important to me than my children. If I were a babysitter, I would get paid to do this stuff. Instead, I am investing my time and energy into being there for my children so that they know what a strong and gentle male is and will hopefully partner up with another strong and gentle male and not just some beer swigging redneck bloke!

In my vision of a Masculine Revolution we change from the inside and thus ripple that change to the outside world. We don't have to take up arms to perform this revolution. We do need to take up a new awareness of what it is to be male. We won't have anything to "prove" about being male. We will grow confidence and self-trust from within. We will have integrity and not be pushed about by society's expectations that we live up to some stereotype role of a male.

A true warrior is someone who will make 40,000 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for his children over the course of 12 years or until they know how to do it for themselves. For some children this learning curve comes way before 12. For some....well it may be a bit after that, but hopefully not much. A true warrior is present and accountable in his child's life, not absent and aloof. He is there to help his child to learn what it truly is to be a responsible person. That means taking the consequences as well as the praise. Learning how to personally grow is an important part of anyone's life. A true warrior teaches other warriors how to walk through life with love and peace and connection to the world around him. He teaches this to his sons and to his daughters. His sons will learn how to show respect to elders and to their wives and lovers. His daughters will be confident and capable of corporate work, or mothering (the most challenging job she will ever have) or both. There will be open hearts, full hearts, strong hearts and clear hearts involved in every interaction.

I will probably blog more on this, so do stay tuned. Just know that for now, the revolution is happening and it is silent in sound, but thunderous in effect.

Blessed Be
