THE CHANGES ARE UPON US
As I watched the women march for respect, equality and justice,
I am struck with the most powerful thought: this is not in protest of the new
president--that was incidental. It is in celebration of the incoming female
energy that has been bubbling beneath the surface for ages. By losing the
election, even though she received almost three million more votes than the
incumbent, Hillary Clinton became the catalyst for the uprising and swelling of
the feminine energy. Women, young children and men have come together like
never before. The event propelled nearly four million women and men to march
for respect, equality and justice for all.
In Washington, DC, the seat of government, there were more than a
million marchers. In almost every nook and cranny of the country people were
showing their support. It was not women alone who were marching, there were
children with their parents, men were there supporting and expressing their
feminine energy as well. They stood shoulder-to-shoulder with their friends and
families. Not in our lifetime has this
country bear witness to such a powerful demonstration—even during suffrage. The
energy was palpable and we marched as one united in a just cause. Welcome my
sisters and brothers.
The feminine energy is on the rise not only in America. At
the last count I heard on the television, there were over 22 countries
participating and over four million marchers world-wide in this energetic
surge.
This energy has to be nurtured like a baby and not be
subject to abuse. Power can be a heady thing so the ego must be set aside for
the greater good. The time is now when wrongs must be righted. Truth must be told and injustices must be
uncovered. We must be vigilant when we see injustice being metered out--whether
because of the color of one’s skins, ethnicity, LGBT community, or religious
persecution, injustice to one is injustice to all. We must not only become our brothers/sisters
keepers, but see ourselves as our brothers and sisters.
The rise of the feminine energy, means we are ushering in a gentler,
nurturing, loving and compassionate nation.
We, however, must do our part to accomplish this evolutionary change
that has been a long-time coming. The rise of the feminine, however, does not
mean we discard our masculine side. It does mean that we get to embrace both and
to show up in the world as our full selves. Men and women can be strong, yet
loving and compassionate.
Former President Obama showed us how possible it is for a
male leader to embrace that balance. Hillary Clinton also showed us how
possible it is for a woman leader to embrace both sides of her divine. We know
that the ego finds it easier to attach to the masculine energy. And we know
that it is fighting for the illusion of survival. America, one of the world’s
largest superpower in the western hemisphere, will be last bastion of the
exclusive club of male heads of state. The rise of women leaders in countries
typically ruled by men have shown us that there is no turning back to the “good
old days and the old boy clubs.” Let us free our collective minds and
embrace the endless possibilities of the highest and best good for everyone.
The time is now ripe for changes to be processed and
implemented--always reaching for the highest light, love and compassion.
Equality and justice for all must be the centerpiece of this beloved nation,
which are the essence of the divine feminine.
Without that, we will only perpetuate the old system of “ME” and not “US.”
