The Goddess's Natural Place II


I am a woman and I know my makeup. I knew my composition from the day I gained consciousness in this world. I am life and I manifest life. However as time passes it seems that my essence is being used only when it is convenient! It appears that somehow my existence is there to always SUPPORT the human way of existence. It seems there are big decisions being made and I am only here reinforcing those decisions, automatically placed in the equation of implementation as a utility rather than what I truly am; a major component of the equation of the decision; what is really going on, everywhere today. This is why there is so much aggression, competition, racing, haste, animosity and lack of regard for what really matters; lack of balance in everything.

We would not know what darkness is without having experienced light. Men would not know manhood without experienced a woman’s touch. New human life could not be conceived without the woman accepting her womanhood. Without compassion there would be no cure for hate. So on and on...

Why is it that I am always placed somewhere in the background? And in most circumstances expected to exceed the expectations, shine, excel, impress, leap over the line to be considered for a stance in the forefront with the rest of the deciders? The forefront exists only because I help it to exist. I am the other half / makeup of the entire population of male and female.

If I were to pull out of the universe altogether perhaps then the world would see how different everything would be. My energy’s make up is compassion, support, apathy, cultivation, nourishment, care, gentleness, intuition, emotion, patience and love of all things. Although this energy is still visible, it is only visible circumstantially. Most of the time my energy is used only as part of the consequence of an act / decision. My energy is being used to heal the wounded, put together the broken, bring back the separated and the energy is sometimes even kept out of the picture so that things would remain irreparable or irreplaceable or destructed.

If my energy was factored into the equation of any decisions made (be it on a local, national or global level) there would be balanced results rather than extremes such as those that need me to only be there as the carer or the net to catch the fallen. I am so drained right now that I don’t have enough energy left to shine as bright as I am capable of.

So now, I want to take matters into my own hands and awaken every woman to take ownership of the female energy within, so we can all rise to be in the forefront, be the other half of the equation and be the co-decision maker / the Yin in the Yang / the Shakti alongside the Shiva of anything that impacts my life today onwards.

The female energy is so powerful that if it were not there the world would be barren’ed of its right to give birth to Love. So it is too important that we acted now, realising the worth of our extremely powerful being and bring consciousness back to the balance lost.

The Goddess's Natural Place


Today's woman is strong, sexy, open, calm, directed, strutting, confident, progressive, independent, ambitious, courageous and grounded. These are all attributes that she demonstrates as a version of her level of belief in the power vibing within her. The other day there was a survey done on male vs female bosses and majority of those surveyed voted they liked working for a male boss than a female because women are moodier than men. Another topic lurking the society of late is whether Julia Gillard is a suitable candidate running for PM and the question is raised especially because she is female. One last one that I noticed before exploring this thought was a topic discussed on the radio, paper and online on the chances of a relationship surviving the damages suffered by women once the man cheats on her - women being assumed to be the victim of an affair.

So the trend I noticed in all 3 areas of today's woman's life, be it in the corporate, political or domestic realm seems she is misrepresented. The trend in misrepresentation seemed to lie with today's worldview being the woman is "special" but she doesn't yet deserve the instant position that she already owns.


Why is this the case? I think its because after the industrial age, women have evolved to become more multi-faceted beings than just the homemakers we knew our grandmothers or mothers to be and this is freaking the world out. Even some women that aren't yet aware of their own energy give power to the sector of the world that is freaking out. So there is a big percentage of females that are out and about doing their best to shine their light but due to the lack of ownership and support by a vast majority of females we are losing stead.


From a bigger picture perspective its time to own our power, be okay with being superior (for the love of all things) by acting in line with the divinity / higher self which does not judge the self - Lets cultivate this practice among ourselves so the rest follow and help in any which way to pave our path further right now!


No this does not mean we will be harsh and start making noise. No, it is time to shine out love and beauty that we are made of everywhere we are especially to women that have lost their ability to connect to their goddess and strengthen this movement. We are female - we are the light of the world - we are Goddesses.


The Goddess is strong, sexy, open, calm, directed, strutting, confident, progressive, independent, ambitious, courageous and grounded - lets now be this way everyday and cultivate love for this Goddess to gain her natural place on earth.

Mirrors

There is a mirror everywhere we are and we have many reflections. On a surface level life experiences embed various reflections into our minds while growing older. For example we wake up and see the reflection of our face and body, then we get dressed and our style is a reflection of a social, cultural or commercial group we engage and identify with. The group we associate ourselves with is also a reflection of our situated self. Then we walk out of the house and bump into someone we know – what voice or tone do we put on? What exactly do we speak about? What part of our personality do we reflect back to that person? Are we selective about our conversation or behaviours? We do the same when we get to work or any other place – reflecting to the other person what we perceive they want us to be or say.

So all these personal reflections that work for us automatically (on auto-play) get us by everyday - do we ever question ourselves – why do my perceptions change from person to person, place to place and situation to situation? If I were to be in a room with 2 different people who would I be, if I were talking to both of them? Now I know most of us aren’t so majorly deca-polar (my new word) in nature, however what I’m trying to say is that we spend most of our lives on auto-play pleasing others for just one thing and that is some version of Love in return. We love pleasing other people however in doing so our whole identity can become a big programmed directory of "please others" files and even when we do something for ourselves to please ourselves we end up doing something aligned to what the others would approve of.

This programme of identities and emotions is called the Ego – it attaches itself to all our experiences. Remember, experiences are all external to ourselves. Then those experiences start to produce emotions inside of us, making it an internal matter. Eg: As soon as we buy something nice to wear – what do we think of when we wear it out? Most of us naturally start comparing outfits with another’s and so on because our "please others" ego probably influenced our choice of dress to start with, so we had to make sure that others liked our outfits too. But what I'm saying is had we chosen something we ourselves were truly happy with then we wouldn’t really care what another person was wearing or said about our outfit and just feel great about ourselves for doing something to please ourselves. In summary any act driven by Ego is like blowing into the balloon of our ego which grows bigger and bigger until one day if we allow it - it bursts to reveal itself as a meltdown / pain / heartache.

If I am making sense still, reflections are everywhere. The person in front of you is reflecting back to you exactly what you are projecting to them about yourself. So for example if I am smiling at you, you would smile back exactly the same way with the same vibe and all. You are more than welcome to try this on your own. Moving on, given that everything outside of us is a reflection of ourselves and is therefore an accurate indication of how we are going internally, this HOWEVER does not mean that we are to imitate others to return their reflection of them. The point is to be REAL, be one with our own chi / energy that is always honest, strong of our own truth, speaks to us only with love and glow and is always compassionate enough to enable us to see OURSELVES in that person or the reflection in front of us.

If we believe ourselves we believe in others. If we love ourselves we love others. If we are able to see the reflection of love and light in ourselves we will see it being reflected to us in everything that we consciously see.

As a woman I know that most of us are reflecting what we "think" we should be reflecting instead of just reflecting what we truly "FEEL" within ourselves. The goddess is found within not out.

Reflect the NOW

I am happy right now. I am quite clear about what makes me happy, then suddenly I am faced with a woman that still lives in the past, telling me what happiness means to her is what happiness should mean for everyone else. She pays high regard to only those that achieved what she didn't and to her that world is what is the best for me and everyone else that is from my time NOW. Her expectation of happiness for me is what she didn't acquire and what the others in her world of ideals have. In her world of ideals, a woman's defining moment has been known to be the day she walked down the aisle and took the vows of till death do us apart with the man that was to take care of her for her lifetime on earth. Then the most immediate definition of her life after marriage is when she brought new life into the world. She is the vessel of life and her man is the bearer of that seed of life. This woman's world of ideals came with a history of neccessities and conditions on the way of being and as a result there are several tangiable definitions to happiness at the conclusion of all necessities. What happened to those that weren't able to give birth!?

Well I'm not from the same era and my ideal world is the one that I am living in now, not the past. My definition of happiness is the state of my mind and body, my days, hours and minutes. I have several defining moments on any single day. They can vary from just a smile I am able to to put on a worried friend's dial by listening well, doing something I love every day, spending time alone experiencing peace in my heart and mind or the energetic expansion I feel after an exhausting yoga class. Happiness is in every moment and in the things that allow me to feel the life within me.

I feel women play a key role in reflecting an era. Women are good at being an adequate reflection of their era because they are the "DO RIGHT" type of beings, if not try their best to get the furthest to being the perfect reflection of the mould made by (hu)man. This era- can we reflect the power we really have for the things that really matter right NOW? Can we move forward from the past filled with concepts that have less importance in this era like marriage / status / societal criticisms and scrutiny?? We have the privilege of freedom now to move out of our bubble of past impositions.

I want to define myself by shifting the energy of the woman needing to see her true reflection today and to know that I AM her true reflection it would be a shame to let another person from the past / pride/ judgement / geographic distance / prejudice / conditionings / whatever else there is from the past to come in between us.

So the woman living by the ideals of her past sees a reflection of herself in me that she cannot accept, because it means she would need to live by the ideals of NOW / the present day, like I am....  Reflect out the light of NOW because thats the only way we will move forward from what keeps happening, which in most cases are repretitions of the past disallowing our progress right NOW.

Purpose

I was asked the question – What do we do in this group?

Nelson Mandela says: “And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same”

There is no doubt that you are here enquiring the cause because you BELIEVE. You believe in your femininity, your essence, your core energy source – this is the LIGHT that you project whether you know it or not. All you need to do is REMEMBER – that is all you need to do.

When we remember something, it is in our conscience before we think, feel and act. Our perception changes for what is truly working for us. We don’t need to do anything but remember the light we project because it has an impact on everyone and everything.

This site intends to be the REMINDER to all women, to shine their light.

Praise the Goddess within

Is it adequate to reduce the grattitude you have for being YOU to what the world tells you, about you? Better yet, if you were to not care at all about the world's opinion of you, how would you recognise the goodness in you and help it grow?

Today, we have all the media at our disposal to tell us how we can earn our place for being a female in our society / environments / universally. But are we ever reminded about just having grattitude for being present as a female? Why aren't we cultivating daily practice of acknowledging just exactly how much energy we expend and throw away to each and every situation we are in? Perhaps it is a little hard to even think of a trying time for us here in our own shoes because we ARE very fortunate to have the space in our hearts to call ourselves Goddesses. In other words we are strong! But let us think of the women in less fortunate situations to us, how much do you think their state could be elevated if they too believed in this power within themselves?

See, this super feminine energy made of intuition, sensitivity and compassion (these being only a few elements of the woman's essence) need to be realised by ALL women and not just some. So let us send out vibes of our group's light to guide women in less fortunate circumstances to feel the power we have acknowledged within us, to the one within them as well. They too have the right to know that they can be one with it wherever they are situated in life and feel empowered as we do.

Acknowledge the Yin and praise it.

The Goddess Revolution

The female human is unique to a male and all other things in the universe.

There is a power or energy within a woman, unique to everything else that exists in the universe and we call this power Shakti / Yin / Kundalini / Durga / KALI / GOD and it is time to initiate the revolution of realisation in every female in the world.

Having searched high and low, near and far, in books and websites, self experimentation, continued dissection of all kinds of experiences, it finally dawned on me that I am a woman, there is no changing my way of being. I am a being that is not just human and I am a being that cannot just be categorised as a gender, or a role I play in my family, workplace, college, school, socially, sexually, physically, publicly, privately or personally because that is not something being a female can be reduced to. Besides my ability to procreate with man, this belief within me that I am present in all facets of my life / universe it is proof that without me, these facets of the universe would not be complete. For example my household would not be the same way without my being and feminine energy, my workplace would not be the same without my presence in the environment, my family and friends would not feel complete without the love I give in the relationship they have with me. What I am saying is that besides being all that we are on earth, be it socially, professionally and personally there is an unearthly being that resides in us that enables us to be the link that completes all things in existence.

It is hard to explain in words the energy I am referring to as there have been many names and forms given by those that have experienced it and spoken of it throughout time. But I can describe it via my observation of times when this energy is commonly accessed. The 1 trend I have noticed or probably in all women this very 1 specific moment of vulnerability induces her ability to access this energy coiled within her. Going by my own life experiences it has always been at a time of dire need for my 6th sense. Dire being the word I use to describe the availability of help I needed or lack thereof. And then it's like an energy wave that can only come from within, which all of a sudden consumes you and makes you unstoppable / indestructible / LIGHT / INTELLIGENT / ULTIMATE / DEFINITE / BELIEVABLE/ REAL / SURE / ENLIGHTENED / PERFECT / DIVINELY TIMED / Couldn't be any better than this! = What is that power? Ever wondered where it came from? it was all within! Yes! It was all you and me! And it is time we started to realise the goddess within us every day so we could be of service even more to our life / facets / universe!

Let us become aware, realise that power and light within that exists beyond our earthly being-ness and feel it pulse within your heart everyday. Even if for 2 minutes! Love it. Don't fear it, befriend it. See it, smile and honour it. Share your thoughts about it to your Goddess friends. Help the awareness expand. Slowly and with time and regular realisations and your nurturing practice you will be the Goddess that you have within you.

This is the time to realise the Goddess within and start to be the ultimate being that we truly are. Female energy is the light where the male energy is known to be the darkness. Can you imagine what the world would be like if all its light was shining? Can you imagine the energy field we would be experiencing around us if we were to all awaken and be one with our unique but universal female energy? There would be no imbalance, inequality, insecurity, there would be no war, less poverty, less hatred and more love and unity.... Well, that is a day I hope to live to witness.

This is NOT about superiority over anything else in the universe. This is about revolutionising the FEMALE's role today as a human, owning the female energy, the true self, being the higher self, and believing in what is inside all women; the Goddess energy; harmonises existence.

Love & Goddess Light
