There is very little more lovely, amazing, and inspiring than being around ladies that have something awaken within them - a journey, a calling, an adventure. I've been pretty supremely lucky to have spent a lot of time with powerful women - even raised by two who I would do absolutely anything for - women who have their own dreams regardless of all of the crazy things they are fed psychologically by our society, bloom anyways. They are unique in a world that's coaching them to be like everything and everybody else. How incredible is that? Above all, women act as moment by moment integrity checkers for men, oracles even, and if you can surround yourself with a grouping of strong ladies, you will grow unbelievably, have your head lovingly cut off when you aren't being the best man you could be, and you will experience life itself and its gigantic selection of experiences. Like the sea they change and shift by the second, emotions and thoughts swarm...let that help you in finding your solidity. They are going to test you with their darkest moods and feelings - only to have them feel that you are immovable, the mountain, inevitably going to be there no matter what and firm in your purpose. These are gifts, not hinderances. These relationships create you, but if you deflate - they'll destroy you. Seek them out - don't be threatened, women can move mountains. They are to be treasured.
The dynamics of my life in moving with female energy has changed almost 180 degrees for lots of reasons. But oh how I have shifted within. Throughout the course of my life, I highly identified with feminine energy because I had 2 extremely strong and potent women in my life - my sister and my mother - who are very driven and talented in what they do. I even had a female dog who was my best friend when I was little and tended to gel with ladies better than I did with men. I took the best from my dad also, almost equally as driven, thoughtful, inventive and persistent and became a product of my environment and nurturing.
As I went through the deep chaos of my younger years, I was "all that changes and shifts. " My moods, my perspectives, my emotions, and thoughts...I have described it many times...were like a tornado inside me that refused to cease. Even when it did stop briefly, back up it would storm again. Mix that with lacking deep purpose after my baseball career ended and a massive mess was made. So I crashed like the ocean for a while...and eventually found my way to writing.
But very recently this dynamic shifted in a big way as the bubbling up of my purpose came to me and I started to read, understand, and practice what true masculine energy actually was. This has not only opened up my world, but has opened up the worlds of the men who live around me. There's an idea that has entered into my mind which certainly has stuck with me for months now, and it's the inspiring concept of the mountain. That solidity - identifying with what does not and will never change in this world. The undoubtable steadiness of being totally grounded in your position, a mirror to life itself, empty and truly ready to express your deepest passions and purpose - which is the expression of love itself.
When a man ultimately begins to understand this concept, I will tell you...mountains don't just move in front of him...he becomes the mountain. Whatever happens around him swirls and yet he is completely calm, planted, and is still deep set in his deepest desire. To find your purpose is way more than just what you do for work - it must be a direct leader in your life and will color your existing relationships your friendships, your family dynamics, and how you show up in the world. It sure did for me. As fast as this hit - bloom - unfold - open - closing the chasm - joy - inner wisdom - integrity - determination through anything.
Women are like the ocean. They shift, change, and adjust by the second. In just a moment, a calm beautiful ocean can change into a sequence of rogue waves. As a man, you are there in your miniscule ship wondering how the hell you are going to climb up that wave before it crests. Women are life itself. They offer, literally, what it means to be alive. Why do you actually think they call it Mother Nature? Everything that shifts around you is moving energy, a type of power that is uniquely feminine and can be accessed. But those waves for men who do not and won't understand what it truly means to be the captain of their ship can be rocked straight out of their boat - I cannot tell you how many times I have been tossed out of my ship or perhaps even bailed before the wave hit. But give a person a purpose, and that wave starts to seem like fun. Also, that wave can induce your most important purpose.
This is the part that's changed my life utterly.
Each day I sit right down and write, I am absolutely driven by a variety of energy that's very different from anything that I have experienced before. I sit in my tiny chair outside on my porch...close my eyes, and breathe as deep deep down into my stomach as I can. I find that density - that solidity - that love - that emptiness. There's this kind of energy that if you focus upon it deep enough, it is almost a low frequency lull...that is surprisingly deep and powerful. A wavelength that has existed far before everyone and one that will absolutelybe here forever after. I will feel it circulate through me often when I'm on the mat. Then, I open and observe the things that are going on around me or start to run through the days events - tapping into all the things that adjusted - and get impressed by all of that energy. That energy runs straight through my writing - and yet, all at the exact same time, I really am here, completely grounded in my place - living as if I was dead.
Fear, in my heart, disappears.
There I am grounded, in my deepest purpose, completely and totally electrified by the women around me and that feminine energy...creating, loving seriously and open to all uncertainty. It's this dynamic, the one between the male and the female - and my using both - that really has taught me more than anything else. This has opened me up, modified my relationships, and helped me continue to discover parts of myself that I did not know existed. Floods of great people have showed up in my life and I can see all of it morphing, only to know that it'll all change and pass...and that's superbly OK.
