Divine Masculine

With the necessary emphasis placed upon the Divine Feminine, it is also vital to include the Divine Masculine. One of the most important things for us to always be aware of is that we are truly in balance with each divine archetype.

Transcript

Hello,

Welcome to the Divine Balance.

My name is Patrick and I'll be your host.

One of my biggest calls to people today is balance.

One of those parts of balance has to do with the Divine Masculine.

The first thing I want to do is apologize for all the pain,

Confusion,

And chaos that has been passed down quite possibly to you.

I'm sorry I've had to deal with the toxic version of what true masculinity is.

Being masculine is not about the ridiculous notion of an alpha male,

Which I refer to as a wounded masculine.

Even in modern times,

We've been inundated with the shadow or the dark side of masculine.

Whether it's wars,

Fundamentalist religions and cults,

Spousal abuse,

They're all crimes against humanity by an immature masculine energy.

That's why thoughts of the Divine Masculine have been ignored mostly.

They're rarely positive role models.

In this podcast,

I'll be using the pronouns he and she to describe the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine.

However,

Let's be clear.

This is not a biological being.

It's not about gender.

This is simply about inner spirit,

Which has no sex role.

Every female has Divine Masculine,

Just as every male has Divine Feminine.

The Divine Masculine as your inner warrior is not to dominate,

Kill,

Anything like that.

Your inner warrior is there to support and protect you.

He is there to defend peacefully,

Yet assertively.

Truth,

Courage and inner strength,

Those are his highest values.

He defines your boundaries and makes them known.

And again,

It cannot be stated clearly enough,

The inner warrior is a protector.

While it's extremely important to honor the Divine Feminine,

We must not forget that the Divine Masculine is alive in each and every one of us.

The only way to true balance in a full spiritual awakening is to integrate both sides of our nature and not one above the other.

The Divine Masculine is what allows us to do,

To take decisive action,

But not aggressive or angry action,

Despite what we might assume.

Instead,

It's based on open,

Loving and positive action.

The Divine Masculine listens to the Divine Feminine knowledge,

Receives her intuitive wisdom with openness,

And then acts on that knowledge with confidence.

This action is based in knowing that we are part of something much larger than ourselves.

It is masculine energy that unites the world in love and personal authority.

It is he who looks out for,

Protects and provides for his community.

His family and those in need.

The Wounded Masculine perverts this by creating conflict when fear has overtaken faith in himself and he feels the need to prove a sense of worth to the feeling unworthy of inclusion or love.

The Divine Feminine is what allows us to be.

It is powerful,

Loving and caring and allows for faith,

Trusting deep inner knowledge and higher intuition.

It allows us to take our time with observations.

She discovers her way from the inside by feeling wisdom,

Love and freedom from within.

She is magnetic and attracts everything she wants simply by knowing that it is already hers.

This allows for the manifestation of her dreams.

The Wounded Feminine,

On the other hand,

The feminine energy,

When it's not in its full power or has been subjected to trauma,

Demonstrates desperation and neediness.

One of the first ways I began to get in touch with the Divine Masculine in myself was during a trying time in my married life.

I had been a pilot flying private jets around the world for over a decade.

I had grown distant from not only my marriage but my entire family,

Literally due to being away for so long.

When I decided I just couldn't do it anymore,

I quit my job.

I had no idea what I was going to do,

But I knew instinctively I had to do something.

Unfortunately,

I didn't talk to my wife about it.

I didn't talk about how I felt.

In my resignation,

I blindsided her.

It was bad.

My first weeks and months at home bordered on insanity at times.

My wife and I would fight,

And about six months after I quit my job,

We almost got divorced.

It was bad.

I mean,

Really bad.

And one night,

While I was listening to my wife,

I would get defensive.

That's the time when I came to a sudden realization.

I was letting my ego get in the way of our fights.

I was letting my ego tell me what she was actually saying,

Instead of simply listening to what she was actually saying.

And it was then,

In that moment,

That I decided to drop that ego.

To put it away during one of our discussions.

That's when something wonderful happened.

I understood her.

I understood and empathized with everything that she was saying.

Instead of cutting her off mid-sentence with a counterpoint,

I simply sat there and listened.

And she felt that.

I was beginning to listen honestly.

That was in 2012.

Now,

Over ten years later,

We have a great and wonderful relationship.

While we might still have a disagreement,

We've both learned how to listen first,

And not allow our ego to get in the way.

I was able to secure my wounded masculine,

And she was able to secure her wounded feminine.

We then began to balance each other out.

Our empathy with each other grew exponentially,

And it's still growing.

Bringing the divine masculine into balance isn't easy.

There are a lot of repairs that might need to be done,

And those repairs are deeply personal.

I can't answer them for you,

No more than you could have answered them for me.

I can only tell you that if you are willing to accept the divine masculine in yourself,

That the balance you create will change your outlook on so much.

From driving in the crazy traffic around town,

To your daily meditation,

The impact can truly be life-changing.

Each of us needs to sit honestly in ourselves.

We need to go deep into ourselves and explore the programming.

Remember,

Our egos are developed before the age of seven,

So some of this stuff is going to be very old and buried really deep in your subconscious,

And that isn't going to be a snap of the finger fix.

Like,

I mean,

It's going to take a lot of effort and a lot of willpower.

Now,

There's nothing inherently wrong with the ego.

It just sometimes happens to get in our way.

So I'll be honest with you,

Not everyone can do this on their own,

And I'm sure,

Speaking for myself and speaking for my history,

It might have been easier if I had someone to help.

So quite often a life coach is a necessity,

Or a Reiki healer,

Or even a well-practiced shaman who can help by using your spirit guides.

You do whatever you need to do in order to begin to heal that inner self.

This is about self-discovery and the journey.

Be patient with yourself.

Notice when we start something new,

And especially something that's not just unknown,

But scoffed at by others,

It usually creates an internal resistance that we might not even recognize.

If you notice that internal resistance,

You need to cut it.

Cut it right out.

Get rid of it.

Refuse to listen to the doubt.

Power is truly all yours to take,

And put it where you need it.

Once you're on a path of true inner healing,

Then you can begin the work on balance.

As I said before,

The divine masculine is the doer,

The protector,

The provider,

And once we begin to release that fake version of masculinity and see it's pretty much just a weak facade,

Then we can honor not only our divine masculine,

But also our divine feminine with actual strength and protection.

That wounded masculine is no longer allowed to control us by acting out.

We see the light of divine masculine in its soft strength,

And our divine feminine will feel taken care of properly.

For me,

I like using affirmations.

They're powerful tools,

Especially when used properly,

And will not only shift your mindset,

But it will activate things within you.

When you use affirmations,

It's important and vital to use present tense sentences.

You're talking about the now.

Now what you want,

Not what you want to be.

What you are now,

Even if you're not there yet.

Here are a few of the affirmations I use daily to make sure I'm in the right mindset.

Number one,

I am a warrior.

I am a master of self-discipline.

I see things clearly and objectively.

I am confident.

I know when to take action.

So again,

It's vital that you speak in the present tense,

Because these are things you believe you are now.

Every time you use affirmations,

You need to do that.

The subconscious doesn't know the difference between a thought and reality.

You are programming or reprogramming yourself,

So it's also important to start where you are.

Don't be shy of that,

But don't let it stop you,

And certainly don't let it get in your way.

This is a lifetime achievement we're working on,

Not some kind of day trading payoff.

The idea here is to awaken that divine masculine inside of yourself,

So that you can balance that with your divine feminine,

A sacred spiritual marriage in yourself.

The last part I want to talk about in this podcast is deconstructing our conditioning.

Pro tip,

There is no man card.

Never was.

Anyone needs this man card to prove he's a man?

I can only ask,

Is he?

How many times have we heard,

Men must have successful careers?

Men must be interested in sports.

Men must look strong and have muscles.

Men must dominate women physically,

Sexually,

And career-wise.

Men must be stoic and not express their emotions.

I'm here to tell you,

Get rid of that shit.

I am not a sports fan.

I mean,

I enjoy watching sports sometimes on TV,

But I don't really follow any teams or know any players.

I last followed my beloved Detroit Red Wings when they won their last Stanley Cup in 2002,

And that was pretty much the end of my heyday in sports.

Being successful in one's career is not just a masculine thing,

But what if someone just wants to have a simple job?

Does that make that person any less masculine?

Showing emotion and being empathetic is probably one of the most masculine things I can think of.

Why?

Because it shows that person is so whole within themselves that they're willing to be vulnerable and express that vulnerability.

That takes a strong person.

That takes someone who's in touch with their divine masculine and their divine feminine.

Again,

The things I just listed,

Literally bullshit.

Get rid of that junk.

Deconstruct that conditioning.

Being able to redefine what masculinity means to you is the goal here.

That is what will allow you to develop a healthy relationship with your divine masculine.

So to circle back and give this a proper ending,

Don't forget to meditate,

Drop your ego,

And listen honestly,

Patient with yourself as you explore yourself.

Use affirmations and get rid of that ridiculous conditioning that society has placed on masculinity.

For The Divine Balance,

I'm Patrick.

Go in harmony.
