the key is to see all humans as special and unique including ourselves.... so everyone is extraordinary imo

Relationship to our bodies reflecting back our relationship to the earth really hit. I'd love to hear more about that revelation because I really connected to that

[@TheDiamondNet]

I experienced in a medicine ceremony that I participated in back in March. In the ceremony, I realized that I was Mother Earth herself and I realized that my difficult relationship with my body as Emerald and humanity’s relationship with Mother Earth was one and the same. I have tended to look at my body since I was three years old as something that needs to be a very specific way in order to be worthy of love. I was very romantically precocious as a kid (having crushes since age 3) and I wanted someone to love me. And I saw looks as a way to get that. But in elementary school, I thought I was ugly and was ashamed of how I looked. So, my relationship to my body has been like a toxic parent/child relationship like you see in some beauty pageant parents. I have tended to treat my body for most of my life, like I’m a toxic pageant mother who expects her daughter to look a very specific way… thin and pretty. And being very harsh and judgmental when those standards aren’t met. And there is a sense of my mind always trying to exploit my own body to fulfill some fantasy of being a beloved. And it’s my mind’s exploitation of my body that mirrors humanity’s exploitation of the Earth. I have seen my body only from the perspective of being a vehicle to try to get love… as opposed to the deeply wise and multifaceted life form that it is. And humanity sees the Earth as being a vehicle to get its wants and needs… but doesn’t respect it as a multifaceted life form with a deeper consciousness.

[@ПетърСтойков-р8т]

Wow! It turns out I've suppressed a bunch of feminine qualities, especially the first few you mentioned. And I thought I had integrated the Feminine pretty well.

[@TheDiamondNet]

Without an extensive knowledge of the Masculine and Feminine principle, it can be easy to be in resistance to one or the other without realizing it. I had a huge resistance to the Feminine before I had my awakening experiences when I was 20. And I had no idea because I regarded ideas of Femininity and Masculinity as pure social construct. But with the direct experience, it became very evident that my values were all Masculine Principled values… and that I at least ignored the Feminine Principle and at most despised it.

[@ПетърСтойков-р8т]

I was surprised because for me it was kind of the opposite: I had conscious trouble with what I saw as masculine. But as you point out, the knowledge aspect is crucial. Maybe the Masculine has been steering me from the shadow. And of course, my ideas of the Masculine and the Feminine were imprecise and/or incomplete. So, I get what you're saying. For a long time I, too, saw them as pure social construct. But I didn't ignore the Feminine Principle; some of those archetypal values were my values, I think. One might say I had conscious resistance to some (perceived, but also real) masculine values, but unconscious resistance to some feminine values.@@TheDiamondNet

I found this channel recently while looking for deeper explanations for Jungian concepts..I found them and much more! Thanks a lot for this great job!

[@TheDiamondNet]

You’re welcome! I’m glad you’ve gotten value from my videos. 🙂

[@95TurboSol]

"Will you be my gelatinous blob?" is definitely going into my future wedding vowels

[@TheDiamondNet]

Best wedding vows ever!

[@vidheyaprem]

You're awesome Emerald 💚💚💚

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you!

[@brah04X]

What an amazing video ,thank you so much! I've struggled for years trying to work on my rejected side but I've honestly been clueless about what to do besides mimicking feminity in symbolic ways lol. It sucks to see that I'm not really strong at all in almost any of these aspects you mention, but it's really cool to finally have goals to work toward. Thanks again, much love

[@Professor_Greenleaf]

I deeply appreciate you and your explanations of these ideas. They’re very helpful to me in my personal growth and work.

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you! I’m glad they’re helpful to you!

[@introvertedfeeler2215]

Thank you so much for this series. This has highlighted an intuition I've had for a long time -- I've integrated more feminine than masculine qualities, though it's very mix-and-match. I resonate deeply with infinity, light -- though I have such deep reverence for Divine Darkness, Light and Dark are nondual -- and boundlessness; I resonate much more with spontaneity than machination, and I have struggled with the concept of Doing since an awakening that shattered the illusion of the separate self. I cannot pretend to believe the organism is separated from the environment, and yet this created also a sort of deep masculine wound where I felt incapable of action because I didn't understand the concept of free will. Now it feels like these impersonal forces are creating the personal expression I call myself, and ultimately Masculine and Feminine are One.

[@sarahpersonalexcellenceguide]

Yes! It’s value judgement that’s the problem! We unconsciously value the masculine over the feminine without realizing we need both in order for the other to exist! I love your videos!

[@Lil_Lumi]

Brilliant as always, thanks Emerald. I love your explanation of vulnerability as being like a gelatinous blob :) For deep connection - you need two gelatinous blobs!

[@TheDiamondNet]

Yes! It takes two gelatinous blobs to tango.

[@ofthe8263]

I'm noticing as I listen that some of the points you're mentioning in this video are catching my attention.. and I'm noticing that it feels easy for me to allow myself to just notice my attention being drawn without explaining further. Realizing some things: - Your words are guiding me in exactly the right places that encourage me to step away from my masculine habits for a moment. Thank you. - Letting go of my masculine habits for a moment allows my feminine traits to present themselves to me. And as it turns out, as my feminine traits come to light, my masculinity still exists quite actively as what draws my attention toward words that encourage my femininity to shine. - When I acknowledge my femininity, it simply exists as 'in light'. - Maybe my masculinity doesn't abandon me when I let go of my masculine habits like I perhaps have feared. Instead, it seems to operate more mysteriously in the dark as the force that draws my attention and activity toward... Balance? Integration? Wonderful video. Thanks again:)

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you! There is a common pattern I’ve noticed from the outside looking in, that there is a fear among many men and boys that integrating the Feminine diminishes the Masculine. It’s my hope in this video to skirt around the cultural fears around gender norms to help people tap into the deeper energetic Masculine and Feminine.

[@theravenmagick]

Now I’m a certified psycho-shamanic shadow worker…but I really could’ve used this 5 years ago! As the CRASH from the masculinity into the feminine body was HELL lol 😂 great info as always Emerald!

[@NightsideOfParadise]

I started doing shadow work a year ago and it was kick started with an absolutely disturbing yet immensely meaningful dream. That said I had no idea I would end up trying to integrate my feminine side as part of the process. Lmao. Edit. I am a man.

[@idontknowyetwhoiam]

Wdym could you elaborate more about coming into the feminine?

[@TheDiamondNet]

I was really polarized into the Masculine without knowing it from age 10 to age 20. And I developed a lot of my Masculine Principled qualities. But because I am a most Feminine energy being, this creates a lot of problems… especially regarding my relationship with my body So, I can definitely relate to that.

[@TheDiamondNet]

@WoundedEgo10 What was your dream? I repressed the Feminine from age 10 to age 20. And directly before my initiation onto the path at age 20, at 19 I had a dream that I was seduced by a tall beautiful seductress who was wearing a tight bright red business dress. I was in a stupor. I was sitting down and she hovered over the back of my chair as I gazed up at her in a daze. She asked quietly if I was ready. I desperately said yes… and she breathed out for a moment. And everything was silent. Then she sharply, suddenly, and loudly began to inhale. And she instantaneously transformed into an ancient hag with gray paper-thin skin you could see the skeleton under, no eyes in the eye sockets, sparse wiry gray hair, and a dark gaping hole for a mouth. And her mouth grew wider and wider and wider until it became the space all around me. And I was floating in a void for an indeterminate amount of time. I was eventually deposited in my childhood kitchen when my mom had everything decorated with cows.and I began to search underneath the cabinets.

[@NightsideOfParadise]

@TheDiamondNet Sounds freaky. Like a proper acid trip. Must have taken some time to fully unlock it. I repressed my feminine side since I was a small kid. Men on both sides of my family are traditional northeast European men. Uber masculine and there's nothing wrong with that. But there was no space for femininity if you were man. It was passively suppressed. We also have examples of psychopathy on both sides of family. Legit psychopathology. In my dream I found myself in my childhood bedroom except it was 3 of my childhood homes molded into one. My mother was doing her makeup on the floor in front of the window as she use to do. The room was very beautiful and I stopped to appreciate how well everything was arranged. It was all so beautiful. Traditional skandinavian style with a lot of attention paid to details. She put down the mirror and I glanced at it. I did not see myself. Then I saw a terrible looking face appear. A snow white face of a baby with mime make up and clothes looked back at me. It's face was weirdly old and angry. I turned around and I saw it was in fact a grown man sitting on a bookshelf. It carried itself like an adult and it was one despite having a small body and huge head like a baby does. It was the most terrifying thing I have seen and yet it looked familiar. It was me. It was a genius looking caricature of me. The little shit jumped down and was ready to fight me. (You have no idea how scary a baby with man's body going full mixed martial arts looks like Lmao.) I woke up and walked around in my apartment for two hours trying to analyze what I had seen. How the babyman manifested immediately after I started to pay attention to more "feminine things". How it had a mime make up on. How my masculine self is partly implied fake creation and a lot of other things. That's how my journey of self discovery really started.

[@jano8087]

Thank you for your work ❤️🙏. I find a little counterintuitive that limits are considered femenine while the mind is considered masculine, because structured thinking (the mind) is based on language, concepts and therefore limits. For example under the Kabbala’s “tree of life” the mind (biná) is considered femenine while intuition (jojmá) is considered masculine. Under this discipline or current of thought the femenine is what recieves and masculine what gives, so in this sense the mind recieves all the information and translate into structured thought. In the other hand, While analyzing my unbalance/balance in all this traits I realized I use too integrate better my feminine side, until I started working in my current job 🤔😅, probably because corporate/capitalist/postmodern world incentives those traits. Again thank you a lot for your work, very interesting and usefull. I appreciate it a lot, please keep on posting videos 🙌❤️🙏.

[@TheDiamondNet]

When it comes to each of these qualities, there are angles to consider them from where you will see the opposite polarity. Truly, all dichotomies are false dichotomies. The Yin always contain the Yang. And the Yang always contains the Yin. But in the broad strokes sense, limitation is associated with the Feminine because the material world of Mother Nature is a world of limits. While the ideal, imaginative, and spiritual are limitless… which fall into the Masculine Principle. Now, when it comes to the insights we get from the intuition, those are in a Masculine format because they arise in the mind. But we must tap into the body to tune into the raw intuition, so that is related to the Feminine.

[@nagakusaladharmacharin9543]

Wow! An excellent video! As far as I understand my own anima material, this seems to be a really good summary of what to look out for in terms of craving, aversion and resistance in relation to these "underlying principles". I see myself craving, and manufacturing, vulnerability in my life for example, and in some way resistant to "imposed" limitations (where I would be better served developing depth "where I am"). Thank you!

[@bmae3055]

You have a wonderful way of explaining these concepts. Thank you so much for your work, you have helped me immensely!! I started watching your videos a few years ago and began doing shadow work. I also began doing a lot of meditating, journaling, and group therapy. At the peak of my inner work I encountered a great mother archetype while meditating. While in her presence I felt completely accepted and she opened me up to feminine aspects within myself. After watching this video, I realized that I was over identifying with the masculine in an attempt to prove my worth to my father and to meet certain societal expectations. I have grown so much through this work and I feel like a lot of it is related to shadow integration and balancing my masculine and feminine energies. Again thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!! I couldn't have begun this journey without your videos. Thank you! ♥️

[@gulruerdem97]

how eloquent you are❤ can't help but lose myself in your style

[@krobbins8395]

Thanks I found that helpful. Over the last few years I shifted in expressions. I like the reference to building and expansion I have so many ideas a day about building and creating but back down to earth it goes to face limitations lol.

[@TheDiamondNet]

The contraction and limitation element of the Feminine is a struggle for many people. It’s often hard to see how limitations are a helper (not a hinderer) of creative work.

[@alexwholeness]

Thank you for the video and you light me up about - Anyag- Anya Hungarian words - . Im Hungarian and I never thought about that. 😊 It makes sense. Now i know why i watch your videos! Hungarian connection, there it is. Blessings

[@amy-lyne]

Love your insight. It's so nuanced and adds a level dimension I have not heard from other KZbinrs on this topic. I have been needing clarity on the dichotomy of Ordinary vs. Extraordinary in the masculine/feminine sense and this video hits the spot. Thank you for your work! Brilliant!

[@helga13human]

Gerat, you explain these principles very well, Thank you!

[@l3eatalphal3eatalpha]

Another amazing presentation Emerald. Love from the UK.

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thanks! I appreciate you watching.

This is DEEP

[@TheDiamondNet]

The well of the the Masculine and Feminine goes much deeper than is commonly recognized.

[@barbarajennings1410]

Thank you, Emerald, so much for sharing. You truly inspire me. So much of what you say resonates for me. Your video today is just packed with aha moments! Thank you! ❤

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you! I’m glad that you had some aha moments!

Thank you!

[@TheSonicfrog]

BTW, Pink was considered a boy's color in the past. In the 19th century, baby boys often wore white and pink. Pink was seen as a masculine color, while girls often wore white and blue. In fact, an article titled “Pink or Blue,” published in the trade journal The Infants’ Department in 1918, said that the generally accepted rule is pink for boys and blue for girls. “The reason is that pink being a decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy,” it said.

[@TheDiamondNet]

Yes, I had heard that. A lot of things that are considered culturally Masculine or Feminine are either arbitrary… or are even the inverse of the archetypal Masculine and Feminine. Sometimes the cultural Masculine and Feminine will match the archetypal Masculine and Feminine though.

[@lechatleblanc]

wow... this is awesome... proves that such superficial means of femininity and masculinity is never true, enduring, real.... and although i generally am not a liberal, i have to say its absolutely wrong for people to freak out over external superficial colors of clothing and hair as being a problem and a perversion of nature...

[@lechatleblanc]

theres no way of dressing or styling your hair which will make u more feminine or masculine

[@phoebetaptiklis5122]

Awesome Emerald. Thanks for all these really great reminders😄

[@dustygrimeslqrs8915]

so good much luv

[@myalipps8535]

Great video thank you emerald

[@joshuadiliberto1103]

I like everything you said, I just don't like the label of masculine and feminine. I would rather a term that is more neutral. It seems like masculine and feminine are interchangeable in most of what you're talking about.

[@IAMGEORGE415]

No one cares what u like sorry

[@vanessaadade7706]

This is so eye-opening and insightful, thanks so much for sharing❤ Did you take a course to learn all this or are you self thought?

[@ceililea7759]

Thank you so much for this video Emerald🤍 will you be creating one on the masculine principle as well? Keep up your awesome work🌸

[@TheDiamondNet]

Yes! Next week’s video is about the Masculine.

[@ceemore57]

Does this correspond to the jungian concept of the anima?

[@michaelhason5310]

For me, your approach was new and extremely well stated. Thank you.

What about the role of mother in culture and full identification with it? It's toxic in so many ways..

[@aphilzitrone]

I like your videos but there are no visuals that makes it kind of hard to follow these concepts

[@TheDiamondNet]

I’ll consider adding some in the future as I free up more time in my schedule

[@franciscoramirezespanagarc7974]

Is intuition a feminine quality?

[@TheDiamondNet]

Archetypally speaking, yes.
