Romney's Equal Pay Answer: Two Solid Minutes of FAIL

[FirstLight]

68. I am totally right there with you on this

I agree that the roles of both sacred masculine AND sacred feminine are shifting once again as well...
I actually belong to a circle group and work with the woman who runs it. we have been family/friends/colleagues for a decade or more and I've mentored her in lots of ways, she is also a LCSW and has counseled me and my kids through these years as well.
When I first started hanging out in drumming circles, doing journeys, meditations, etc. back in the 90s - there were virtually NO men involved. Some of the women had to drag their spouse kicking and screaming to a solstice barbeque... they were SO out of touch with divine in themselves, much less willing to acknowledge their mate's spirituality...
Now, there are more and more folks in general 'waking up'... My mentor actually holds a few circle groups during the week - one is expressly for Men and one is co-ed... I actually attend a women's only circle... but the information we all get is the same, and we are all working similar spiritual paths. I assist by sending out the emails for us all with upcoming ideas, meditations, etc...and I love the fact that a growing number of males are open to the learning.
(and yes, my previous rant is directed at the less open and awake crowd of males in my generation...and I haven't met anyone in a bar for many years! lol ) I have several friends whom I would say their partners 'get-it'... One male friend who is actually really into yoga, meditation and extracirricular spiritwork, really surprised me when he balked at a "men's group" being led by a woman. Though I personally think this is part of the change of consciousness we are seeking is the return of understanding the feminine, and finding BALANCE within both.

I agree Males need male bonding though too...and there are hoards of males who have no examples to look up to.(even bad ones, like you said) I have 2 sons, one is 20 and will just have to figger it out himself, there's not much more I can do in that respect, he's still in the angry know it all stage. The other is just entering Puberty...and he is about 180 from that. With a mom and sister to share the house with, he appointed himself 'man of the house' to help me, and says he will be a "great man" when he grows up cuz he will understand women so well, his wife will LOVE him (yes, he said this!) so far so good
