Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Hey Jacques, where you been hiding out? You and Eric should have something to talk about. He's a diver also. (continued from my previous email.) ............around our seventh year we start wanting more Papa energy. How to take it into the world. How to get from Point A to B without uncertainty and with focus. How to do what needs to be done whether you like or not. We learn "Grit" from our fathers. If our fathers are in touch with their feminine aspect than our experience of "Grit" is refined, subtle and doesn't feel disconnected and out of balanced. There is joy in activity and getting the job done. We can take on a new activity and not be overly affected by "subjectivity' and our Mechanism is able to reset. As I write this, I am remembering once having to drop the engine from my '67 VW Microbus while enroute from Seward, Alaska to Anchorage in a late October blizzard back in '81. I did this on the side of the road with what tools I had on hand. It was a little bit like Mcguyver. It took twelve hours but I was able to get back on the road, and we made it to Anchorage, limping in on 3 cylinders instead of four. Something in this experience about keeping up when I most wanted to bail out. About keeping my head and remaining "calm", as there were lots of opportunity for freaking out. It was all on me to do. Being the "Authority" is generally associated with Father energy (if the woman lets him). Many of us grew up without fathers and so the mother had to carry some aspects of what the men have traditionally done. In my neighborhood, there were so few families with men in the household, that we used to joking say "when I grow up, I want to be a real man..... like my mother". We need more clean Male models. It's even said that (Robert Bly in "Iron John") that culturally if we can't relate to the King energy, than we may very well have trouble relating to God as a complete and whole entity. So without both Mother and Father energy we are incomplete and prone to crippling insecurity. So, can you change a flat tire? Sat Nam, Dharam Singh P.S.
