Codependency Recovery: Wounded Souls Dancing in the Light

Book 2:  A Dysfunctional Relationship with Life

Chapter 15:  Masculine and Feminine

"All human beings are the creation of the perfect interaction of the Masculine and Feminine Principles - and all individuals have both masculine and feminine energy as part of their make up as human beings.  Our perspective of masculine and feminine has been very twisted and distorted due to the planetary conditions that caused the dysfunction in the human experience.

Our traditional cultural concepts of what a man is, of what a woman is, are twisted, distorted, almost comically bloated stereotypes of what masculine and feminine really are. A vital part of this healing process is finding some balance in our relationship with the masculine and feminine energy within us, and achieving some balance in our relationships with the masculine and feminine energy all around us. We cannot do that if we have twisted, distorted beliefs about the nature of masculine and feminine.

The terms male and female refer to the genders that are representations of masculine and feminine energy - and reflections of the Masculine and Feminine Principles.  Many of the characteristic attributes and behaviors that society identifies as male and female are in fact bloated, distorted, polarized magnifications of masculine and feminine qualities."

"I have stated several places in this work, how human internal dynamics - emotions, emotional process, and internal interaction between the mind, emotions, and spirit - are the same for all human beings.  This includes men and women.  There are some differences in the ways men and women relate to / process their inner dynamic - but the basic dynamics are the same.  Men and women are much more alike than they are different.  The differences are fascinating and intriguing - they do not make us from different planets.  The more balanced and healthy any man or woman becomes, the more we clear up our relationship with the masculine and feminine energies within us, the easier it becomes to start learning how to relate to each other in a healthier, more balanced way - instead of seeing each other as some kind of alien creatures."

Book 2:  A Dysfunctional Relationship with Life

Chapter 15 Masculine and Feminine

By Robert Burney

Masculine ~ Feminine / masculine ~ feminine / male ~ female

. . . . . . In this chapter I am going to try to clarify my understanding of masculine and feminine as I talk about the masculine feminine imbalance that has so affected the history of our planet - and has so distorted the relationship of human beings to gender and sexuality. 

Masculine and Feminine capitalized will refer to the Masculine and Feminine Principles / Energy of Creation - a transcendent vertical (up and down through the vibrational frequency ranges of The Illusion) Energy / Force. 

One level is, of course, as symbols of the Masculine and Feminine Energy of Creation.  The marriage of the Princess and the Prince can on this level be seen to represent the Feminine and Masculine Principles of the Universe and their union of perfect balance and harmony - the eternal balance of yin and yang. 

While masculine and feminine (lower case) will refer to the horizontal human experience - to masculine and feminine energy as it relates to human beings, and to the environment human beings experience on the planet Earth.  In other words, to characteristics, traits, qualities, attributes, features, elements that are thought of as masculine or feminine.  I will also be making a distinction between masculine and feminine energy in a metaphysical sense, and masculine and feminine characteristics in terms of observable attributes or behaviors.

All human beings are the creation of the perfect interaction of the Masculine and Feminine Principles - and all individuals have both masculine and feminine energy as part of their make up as human beings.  Our perspective of masculine and feminine has been very twisted and distorted due to the planetary conditions that caused the dysfunction in the human experience. 

Our traditional cultural concepts of what a man is, of what a woman is, are twisted, distorted, almost comically bloated stereotypes of what masculine and feminine really are. A vital part of this healing process is finding some balance in our relationship with the masculine and feminine energy within us, and achieving some balance in our relationships with the masculine and feminine energy all around us. We cannot do that if we have twisted, distorted beliefs about the nature of masculine and feminine.

The terms male and female refer to the genders that are representations of masculine and feminine energy - and reflections of the Masculine and Feminine Principles.  Many of the characteristic attributes and behaviors that society identifies as male and female are in fact bloated, distorted, polarized magnifications of masculine and feminine qualities.
