Divine Feminine Integration | How to Make the World Whole Again (and Ourselves Too)

[@hab0272]

I think this video is very significant in this day and age. I can particularly appreciate the wider definition of femininity and masculinity as well illustrating them as these greater, abstract forces that are going on. This goes far deeper than most of the gender discussions (although I consider those as a necessary phase in the evolutionary process of mankind).

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you! :) Understanding these things has really helped me personally with being able to stay grounded a lot better during low times because it give me a deeper context for the issues that happen within society. So, when something happens that's negative, I try to explore it until I see where it connects to all this and how it might be an outgrowth human evolution, even if it's uncomfortable or downright sickening. And surprisingly, sometimes its the nastiest dirt that grows the most beautiful flowers. So, it's been my hope with this video, to give people that deeper context to ground themselves in.

[@hab0272]

I can relate to that. Finding these deeper layers of meaning provided me a lot of comfort because it helped me making more sense of reality the way it presented itself to me, including all the ugly stuff and misery. In a way we're like plants. If we cannot find comfort on a superficial level, the roots have to go deeper in order to find water and nutrients. In this process the plant also gains more solid grounding. I think reality has infinite depth to it, so there's always additional layers to tap into (including those we may not comprehend yet). To use another plant-metaphor, I think your channel is a benevolent force that spreads the seeds for deeper contextual understanding into the soil of the viewer's minds.

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you! I really hope that my channel can help in that way.

[@sheidavz]

I think it's so wonderful to have these wider definitions because then everyone can find both aspects in themselves as they really are. So I can actually accept and let my feminine traits be without a fake adherence to stereotypes about what it means to be a woman. And vice versa for the masculine qualities, I can embrace and develop them without feeling as though I'm going against "nature". I also thought it was great to think about how we value the masculine and not the feminine and start to realize that there is no reason for that. There is nothing better about one or the other and we should appreciate all the qualities for what they bring to the world. For me, I know that there are qualities of introspection, non-linearity, sensitivity, the mystical, darkness, chaos/wildness, and surrendering to the flow of reality, that without thinking I judge as bad and undesirable but I can see that these things need to exist in my life at the moment. I strive to be the opposite but now I realize there is just as much value in these things as any other quality that is there to be expressed.

[@hab0272]

I still remember how I felt compelled to move away from the feminine as I had this very narrowed-down stereotypical definition of it and saw it as my gender-specific duty to do so. Now that I have a broader, more nuanced view on it I can appreciate it a lot better and help some of my positive traits to grow that I would initially ignore or dismiss. I still do not like masculine/feminine stereotypes but perhaps they do serve a function as they show us which seemingly contradicting traits we should actually combine and integrate within ourselves and our societies.

[@TheDiamondNet]

Hi all! Sorry that I missed yesterday's posting. I decided on Thursday afternoon that the recording I had made didn't really do this topic justice. And I consider this one to be a very important topic. So, I totally re-wrote it and re-filmed it which took me all day yesterday. So, by the time I was finished editing, converting, and uploading it... well it was right now. :) That said, you can anticipate Saturday releases from here on out... unless a weird situation occurs.

Also, I'll be out of town today and tomorrow. So, I may not be able to get to my comments for a while. But I'd love to hear from you and will get back to them ASAP!

[@JonathanLevinTKY]

I think you are romanticising the past to fit your world view and this against systems thinking. 1) For most of eternity men AND women have been cooperating to battle nature, hunger and diseases. The oppression narrative was only formed in 1963. (here is a discussion from a professor of ethics and her take on how feminism views history - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3iUm4KQnpKZjaMm11s ) 2) In your talk of cycles, you are ignoring technological advances like contraception that allowed women to take more control of their lives and their relationships. As well as post-industrial house hold items like laundry machines which allowed people to spend less time working at home and more time working outside the home. 3) We are making technological advances now that are reducing our impact on nature. Clean energy, vegan meat alternatives, ocean waste gathering tubes and desalination machines to name a few.

[@TheDiamondNet]

Understand that patriarchy is ultimately the thing that allows us to safely integrate the Divine Feminine. So, that is also an outgrowth of the natural cycles within our human system. In fact, if we tried that in a pre-patriarchal or early patriarchal society, it would be untenable. It is only when polar patriarchy has run its course that the Feminine can even have full expression within a strong human society. So, in a weird way, it is actually a really the way of the masculine in the form of technological progress working to set the stage for the integration of the Divine Feminine that we're currently in the midst of. That's why chivalry is a micro-level reflection of the archetypal relationship between the Masculine and the Feminine, where the Masculine works in the favor of the Feminine. So, if we hadn't invented all the household inventions, women would still have to do those jobs which would have eaten up all their time. And they wouldn't have really been able to leave the domestic sphere enough to have direct influence on their societies in a way that isn't subtle and difficult to notice. And if we hadn't invented contraceptives, women wouldn't have a choice how many children they had. So, instead of having one or two, we might still be having 10 or 11 kids which would also monopolize all our time and energy. And yes, it is ultimately our technological and ideological advancements (which are both masculine) that will enable us to save our planet (feminine). This is the nature of the integration that I spoke of in the video, where there is no need to suppress the masculine principle. We just need to integrate the masculine principle with the feminine principle to bring our human system into harmony with nature. But yes, in many respects, despite the fact that women were deeply oppressed in our past polarly patriarchal systems, survival has necessitated cooperation. So, women's domestic roles were ultimately needed for humanity to survive and flourish at the time. Unfortunately, many of women's natural tendencies and potentials were unnecessary or even dangerous to earlier social orders. So, women had to take one for the team for many thousands of years just to survive and help set the stage for later advancements in human evolution. But the inevitable cooperation in past societies doesn't mean that women weren't oppressed. Women in those societies had far less power than men, and as a result of that imbalance in power they were in an inherently more vulnerable position. So, bad things happened to them often and there was no recourse for them. And often, social norms and laws within earlier societies were very anti-woman. So, to say women as a group were not ever oppressed is just historically inaccurate.

[@markcampbell9227]

@@TheDiamondNet Would you say that the viewpoint which says that women have been oppressed and deprived of contributing to the advance of humanity is based on a masculine valuation system? That is to say that measures such as relative power in society, material compensation and relative participation in scientific endeavor seem to me to be more masculine valuations. A more feminine perspective might be much closer to what you pointed out before. It seems to me that the collective feminine as part of the Divine feminine has been working to select more brutal men and useful men in order to lead humanity towards greater individuation through fortifying the ego. This process has also helped ensure that more babies would survive as you pointed out before. On the other hand women collectively have somehow managed to maintain control of households no matter how brutal the men selected. It almost feels like the feminist movement was a way that the collective feminine is redirecting the process of individuation now that the ego is strong enough and the scientific method has run its useful course. The problem with viewing women as oppressed is not only does it take away their agency, it saddles them with the viewpoint that they are victims which as you know tends to mire anyone in their own nightmarish flavour of neurosis. In my viewpoint, the Divine Feminine has always been in control and women need to be reminded of this so that they can see themselves as rulers who have been largely responsible for this flow of individuation all along. It seems to me that this will help rid them of any lingering neuroses and help prepare them to again assume a leadership role as humanity prepares to meld with the subconscious and the collective unconscious. Since Jung describes this as a feminine move, it makes sense that women take a leadership role using feminine valuations. You have already assumed such a role and many men like me are happy to follow your lead because a lot of what you say resonates with a deep collective knowing. I do suggest however that we are well past the time where masculine valuations will have any useful place at the top of the hierarchy of values.

[@tcdiamond70]

Are you familiar with all of the teachings is Mary Magdalene in the Gnostic gospels … this is a hot topic for me in relation to the divine feminine as well as Shiva / Shakti

[@markcampbell9227]

In the Origins and History of Consciousness Jung via Erich Neumann talks about the limiting aspect of the masculine and the scientific method (vs complexity and the feminine) on knowledge, intuition and personal growth itself. I take this to mean that science and reason itself will benefit from the Divine Feminine. The problem with viewing this as a technology vs nature debate is that it does not show the benefits to our technology as a whole by adopting the Divine Feminine. Everything else you have said will also come about as a benefit but it is a much more complete case to add that our limits on understanding things like quantum computing or space time may largely be due to us cutting ourselves off from the Divine Feminine and therefore intuition and insight. I agree that it is a dire situation. That is main reason that I think that we need to make a more complete case for integrating the Divine Feminine.

[@michealwillis]

You’re excellent in this field. Please never give it up or this channel. Thank you!

[@spsp948]

absolutely well planned presentation of an integral aspect of human evolution, it's called Shakti in Hindu philosophy and people like Sadh Guru are focusing on this very same subject to balance the male-monothiestic- patrachical system that is formed thoughout known history.

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you! :) I'm glad to hear that Sadhguru is facilitating this integration as well. It's so important for where we are.

Our mystics house group meets tonight. We are currently on the subject of the Divine Feminine. We will be watching this video and discussing!

[@TheDiamondNet]

That's really awesome! How did it go?

[@vaishnavigupta9111]

Emerald, this is an excellent video, precisely because you talk about something which should be so obvious but is overlooked anyway. I really appreciate you talking about this topic, something that a lot of spiritual and self help teachers completely overlook. I like how you're bringing spirituality and personal development to its most basic and fundamental level. Also, great wisdom packed in the comments. Really appreciate your efforts.

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you! I'm glad that you liked it. I agree that this topic is often overlooked. I'm hoping that this topic becomes more and more mainstream so that more people are aware.

[@lesaspravka1173]

This felt so helpful to me. You seem to neutralize ideas of both masculine and feminine and at the same time exalt their correct placement in our existence.

Emerald...this has been so cool reading all your responses as it's really helping me grasp understanding that is just really different than what I've understood before.

[@TheDiamondNet]

I'm glad that my comments have given more context to the video. I try really hard to get all the ideas out in the video, but I'm much more thorough and clear when I write because I'm better at writing than speaking. So, I was hoping that my comments could pick up any loose threads that I left in the video. :)

[@TheIsaacShin]

It's interesting how we don't think twice about using feminine and masculine words in language, but with personal expression all of the sudden we are self-conscious of being too "masculine or feminine". Also thank you for your video breakdowns!

[@barabara1051]

you are so clear when you explain things! thanks

[@RB-il9xx]

now more than ever it does seem evident, that we need to be exploring and integrating and nurturing the feminine. its almost painfully clear. on the individual level, at least in my personal experience, its always been that the most powerful, whimsical , strong people in my life have been people, regardless of gender that expressed an even blend of both sets of traits. really enjoying your wealth of work at the moment

[@jade3866]

This is the best video on divine feminine I’ve seen. Absolutely fantastic 💗✨

[@Chrome166]

Thanks for this video, I agree that this is a very important concept. I do believe we're headed in the right direction, even if the unavoidable pendulum swing of backlash is constantly slowing things down. I think it's worth noting that there has been a crazy acceleration of Yang energy during the Enlightenment, and a lot of the damage came directly from that. The point could be made that that was the natural progression of where we were headed for all of civilization, though. Also, it's funny how you talk about "what if we suppressed the Yang and looked down on thinking," it makes me think about 1984 and how if we divorced ourselves from the Yang as well as the Yin it'd truly be a complete dystopia. I guess that would be one way of the Yang destroying itself.

[@TheDiamondNet]

I definitely agree with everything you've said. The backlash sucks, but it's ultimately just a natural outgrowth of the system. In fact, if there weren't backlash, it would probably mean we weren't actually making as much progress. But if there are Jimmies being rustled, that means something's happening. :D But yes, in all of human history there has never been an existential mistake with anything we've gone through. It's all been a natural outgrowth of human evolution, destruction and mayhem included. And it's also very important for us not to fall over on the other side of the horse and repress Yang. The issue isn't the fact that there's too much Yang. The issue is that too little of Yin is coming to the table. But repressing Yang won't enable more Yin. It's not like a scale or anything. And it's not like sharing the pieces of a pie. So, there is no relationship between repressing Yang and allowing more Yin.

[@abdulmalikjahar-al-buhairi9754]

Being less affected by biases is my favorite feminine trait. Even highly intelligent men often have an agenda (ideology) or illusions that keeps them from seeing reality as it is. They come close but than get caught up in very very rigid dogmas that narrows their scope of consciousness. Mckenna, jordan peterson and sam harris immediatly came to my mind watching this. They have a priori expectations and just look at the matter from that one perspective (THATS what bugged me about them). The women I know tend to be far less affected by this.

[@scottkraft1062]

Feelings over facts

[@deliciamurugan2626]

i had the exact same thoughts which were actually feelings .. in each of their theories and systems there is something missing … its intuitive and hard to explain to people which immediately negate intuition- almost degrade it. it must always have a know immediate function- even the comment above is polarised “feels vs thought” but actually its about tapping into both and recognizing both are needed. as a person who operates heavily on the masculine its hard to access feminine but its there in deep… niggling at you -whispering. im starting to embrace it more - integrate it more: slowly but also thats ok. we are antagonistic towards it .. its sad but also sadness allows you to be more empathetic and have vulnerability. Peterson and harris are so masculine , understand the feminine but dont embody or embrace it- accept it and allow it to come to the surface.

[@Weincraft]

I think because of today's political climate people look to explorations of ideas like these and Jordan Peterson's explorations too rigidly in terms of the masculine and feminine. Tying them too much to gender. Which is understandable. But I think they're more useful I'm taken in a broader sense. You did a very thorough job of making that point which I love. Ty

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you! I think it's important to make the distinction between gender and these polarities, otherwise we can start to think the polarities are relational to human-beings only. But of course, they are in everything. It's just that human beings naturally relate them back to ideas about human gender because that's the reflection of them that we're most aware of. And this creates extra distortions because we are relating them mostly to social constructs. I'm glad that you liked it! :)

[@ariaassociazione6814]

Great videos! Your wisdom is way beyond your years. On history, culture and the phases of Yin and Yang, I was wondering if you had considered the fact that the first half of life is usually ego construction and ego centered. Do you think that might be a considerable reason why the yang prevails in society, not just in the past but even more now? Maybe it isn’t only an historical/evolutionary question, but one of ego misidentification, whether male or female. Society usually displays what the youth and those in the prime of life desire, make and sell. While women have a definite advantage over men, being more naturally inclined to display yin characteristics, our modern, progressive culture has not made things easier for them. If anything it is the female gender who’s now displaying increasing yang characteristics, at least in western society. It is perhaps a needed correction of a bad course set in the past, but could it be also that the evolutionary model is not the most suitable to interpret the balance of yin and yang in history? Could their role be more fitly described as cyclical, rather than evolutionary? I am thinking especially of how the yin, though less conspicuous during youth and even middle age, is actually never absent and, in some ways, is the real power and final winner. Think for example of how we come from it, through our mothers, how we are an extension of her for our first years, then we enter that ego development phase. Whether male or female that’s very yangish, because the ego naturally attracts yang qualities and rejects yin one. Then comes the time, with age, in which we begin to transcend ego, and that’s when we begin to return to ying, who is both, our door to this world as well as our door out. Could the balance, the Tao, be then always there and not depend on an evolutionary process or progress? Maybe, by imposing an imperfect grid on the past, that of our present cultural mindsets, we are not seeing it right and, what’s worse, we are presuming a future that isn’t at all what that balance will require. In any case, as C.G.Jung taught about “enantiodromia”, when things get to their extreme, they turn into their opposite. It seems like the balance is unbreakable after all. So maybe it isn’t really within our power to fix it or manage it?

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you! :) The reason why society skews more Yang and has since the beginning of humanity up until recently is because polar Yang orientation was needed to withstand the superior force of Yin (Mother Nature)... up until the past century or so. To be polarly Yang as a human species in our earlier days, was needed for survival simply to balance out the strong Yin energy that we were not insulated from until recently in the first world. So, societies that skewed more Yang/Masculine were less likely to be consumed and devoured by the powerful force of Yin/Feminine nature. So, as society has had to be anti-Feminine from the start, women and all things Yin naturally were repressed and oppressed in culture... especially once agrarian living sprung about. There was simply not much room for the feminine or Yin. So, it has been in the collective shadow of humanity. Now, in the past century or so, the tables have turned. Humanity has gotten so good at manipulating nature and adept at Yang, with its social structures and technology that things have flipped. And that flip has opened up more room for the feminine to be reintegrated. And that flip is inevitable in our species as polar Yang orientation naturally gives way to greater human survival and comforts. But that flip also puts us in grave danger of destroying ourselves and much of the biodiversity of the planet. We've become so good at Yang it is now starting to encroach upon Yin. So, it is the very development of polar Yang that both allows Yin and encroaches upon Yin the most. And the more Yang encroaches upon Yin, the more we have to allow Yin to be integrated... and the more Yin comes to the surface. And if we don't integrate Yin, our species will become completely dis-integrated from nature and she will purge us with the natural disasters that come with climate change just like our bodies heat up and our noses start to run to get rid of a fever. And there will be a complete return to Yin... as all things begin and end with Yin. Nature will swallow us up like a mother eats her babies when food is scarce. So, yes, there will eventually be a complete return to the feminine as existence itself is the feminine Shakti that does its dance upon masculine Shiva's lap. So, since this reality is feminine, all things begin with the mother and we return to the mother. The alternative is what I see is trying to happen, which is that the Yang elements of our society need to yield to make room for the repressed Yin elements. The feminine is about being and cannot make room for itself. So, the masculine is needed to carve out that space for the feminine. And this is why Feminism and all those other movements are still very Yang oriented. The breaking down of social structures required the masculine energy. But the purpose is to integrate the feminine if the movements are truly in alignment with the evolution of humanity. And the newfound social awareness of our time are a good litmus test for this. We need to integrate Yin and Yang in order for our system not to break. And this means that we need both poles of our species coming to the table in equal measure: both masculine and feminine. We need to get to a point where we wake up to our feminine sides more, as this will allow us to come into alignment with nature and to marry Yang technological inventions and social structures with Yin nature and the honoring of existence as itself.

[@ariaassociazione6814]

@@TheDiamondNet Thank you for your prompt response. You understood me perfectly and your answer is exhaustive. I would agree with you fully, if it wasn’t for a doubt still nagging me. It concerns the historical assumptions that you adopt, which lead to the conclusion and sense of urgency you described. What if time, as a perception, wasn’t linear and working as we suppose? Apart from that, I grew up a leftist, saw history in evolutionary terms and believed that my ideology was the latest in evolutionary progress. As such it needed to prevail in order to save the world and create heaven on earth. Thankfully history was my passion and by studying it I discovered that the Nazis believed the same, like Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and many others. When studying the history of various empires I discovered that they also felt the same way, minus Darwin. Some of the worse things to befall this world were actually carried out under the absolute conviction of being the good guys and at the forefront of social, scientific, cultural and evolutionary progress. There was always a superimposition of an historical narrative over reality, to give people the impression of causes and effect, and of imminent danger unless they would act to ensure survival. That’s how power and politics have worked in the human psyche. Historical interpretations (there are only interpretations) have always been used as political tools for both, left and right. The problem is that they play on our most obvious ego manifestations, its tension and reactions. Then I realize how you have answered this and how my doubt also expresses ego tension and reaction. Again I am reminded of some words by Alan Watts: “A problem of evil arises as soon as there is a problem of good, that is, as soon as there is any thought of what may be done to make the present situation ‘better’, under whatever nomenclature the idea may be concealed. ...If the positive and the negative, the good and the evil, are indeed correlative, no course of action can be recommended, including even the course of inaction. Nothing will make anything better which will not also make it worse. But this is exactly the predicament of the human ego as Taoist philosophy sees it. It is always wanting to control its situation so as to improve it, but neither action nor, with the motive of improvement, inaction will succeed. Recognizing the trap in which it finds itself, the mind has no alternative but to surrender that ‘ straining after the good ’ which constitutes the ego. It does not surrender cunningly, with the thought that this will make things better. It surrenders unconditionally-not because it is good to do nothing, but because nothing can be done. … the balancing process comes into full effect not by intention on the part of the subject, but only as it is seen that the feeling of being the subject, the ego, is itself part of the stream of experience and does not stand outside it in a controlling position.” But this you already know and have covered elsewhere, so do not take this as any short of disagreement or criticism. You are giving a wonderful service here. It doesn't need to be perfect or exhaustive. Keep it up. Your perspective and delivery are a breath of fresh air and very needed.

[@janayrose874]

Thanks for all your videos! I love the water cycle system. Rain creek estuary ocean sun clouds. Each step has pro and cons. Keeping balance is goal. Rain and creek are more singular, self reflection. If I've been there too long it can turn into self loathing. Clouds are dreams but may turn to illusion. Ocean is the all. Best spot where home is. However the ego is hard to get rid of so the cycle keeps moving. This isn't a new concept but helped me detach from humans and learn about mybmoods through nature. Had a breakdown in my early 20s where I noticed the split in my personality that came from sexual abuse. I appreciate your bRain so much♡ are you a virgo?

[@christophmahler]

The video is a bit older, but probably still reflects Your stance. What if the divine feminine is _to be_ surpressed, to constantly yield into the subconscious in order to supplement and nurture the 'solar' forces ? One can still note that this aspect of creation and cosmos is neglected in a culture, but the _normative_ zeal toward 'utopian progress' ceases. One cannot force mankind 'on a tip of the sword' to recognize a living, Threefold God - but _one can trust_ that 'the dark night of the soul' will come to all, eventually - whether by personal, fateful catastrophe or a global state war, ultimately nothing is to be spared when 'the firmament is wrapped like a finished scroll' - and that does not have to reflect merely a sentiment of vengeful, 'confessionalist' resentment, but *a realization of divine love* - that such a numinous moment is granted, despite a lifelong lack in courage to confront it. That is the long perseverance of the divine feminine that inspires a trembling awe in man.

Hey Emerald. I am glad you are making more videos lately. I think you are cute! I like your hair. It seems like where I live ppl demonize masculinity and call it toxic and put femininity on a massive pedestal but I live in Seattle where people are brainwashed. I feel like I have a great balance of divine feminine and masculine. I say that bc I am obviously very masculine, tough, and strong but i have a TON of the qualities you listed concerning the feminine EXCEPT I am NOT attracted to men at all. In fact many of my feminine energy attributes tend to be some of my favorite aspects of myself. I would like to see our society integrate more of the feminine. It would be good for everyone. I have also witnessed ppl demonizing the feminine to but in a different way, I see them demonizing beautiful women and encouraging ugliness.

[@Raphael4722]

If you're complimenting Emerald on her looks then you clearly didn't get the point of this video.

[@liberaazzurra]

I think femininity is not generally valued, actually women who act masculine are valued, because we still think that masculine traits are superior, more useful and honorable.

[@lesaspravka1173]

I was wondering about the comments about looks too. And I was concerned about the comment about Seattle being brainwashed. Quite a subjective generalization expressed as objective.

[@youngatnaruto]

I think comments about looks are what ever but I do agree with him that in the west it seems like masculinity in of it's self is being demonized. You can even see it in schools with how they allow boys to play with each other, not too sound like a mra member but I wonder how much does the family structure that is crumbling and the lack of fathers that a lot of young boys are missing out on they are only being showed one xample and that is the feminine through the mother there is nothing wrong with that but it seems like not only the image of masculinity has been attacked but the importance of fathers and the role they play, (just look how well treated bookish, meek kids are and how teachers bully hyperactive hands-on kids), there are also hormone mimicking environmental contaminants there have been studies on endoctrine disruptors found in house hold supplies on frogs like complete feminization and chemical castration not saying this is a secret plot by the government but it does seem like in the modern world everything from our attitudes to our food has a negative effect on our masculinity if we are males . We shouldn't favor one over the other they both balance and compliment each other, kids should be encouraged to be themselves and that means boy should not feel shameful about expressing their qualities as well

[@TheDiamondNet]

The Divine Masculine is the opposite of toxic. But when the Divine Feminine is repressed, Shadow Masculinity rises to the surface in its steed. So, this is why masculinity has a bad rap in many progressive circles. Some, may lack nuance and demonize masculinity as the root cause of problems, when it is really the result of the emergence of the Shadow Masculine. But this demonization of masculinity comes up as a reaction to the deeper imbalance of Yang over Yin and the resulting dis-integration of the Divine Feminine. So, ironically, the instances of Divine Masculine repression that happen, also stem from the root cause of Divine Feminine repression.

[@liberaazzurra]

Do you think that submissiveness is a feminine trait that is positive and useful or negative and caused by fear and indoctrination?

[@TheDiamondNet]

I think the idea that submissiveness being a feminine trait comes more as an outgrowth of the repression of the Divine Feminine than the nature of the Divine Feminine itself. Having had a direct experience of the Divine Feminine, I can tell you it's anything but submissive. So, relating the feminine to submissiveness is kind of like relating Femininity to weakness because we see it relationally to the strength of men. So, the dominant/submissive relationship that's understood between masculinity and femininity is very much an outgrowth of living in a Feminine suppressed system. That said, the Feminine IS naturally more subtle than the masculine. And it is about stillness, receptivity, passivity, and sensitivity. So, these traits could be mistakenly seen as submissive traits, especially by people raised within a Feminine suppressed system. But the power of these subtle traits make them equal opposites to the power of the more noticeable/overt masculine principle traits. This is why the Yin and Yang sign has two equal parts. One part is not naturally submissive to the other. But the subtle Feminine strengths like receptivity, stillness, sensitivity, allowing, surrender, etc. are very important to the future of humanity. It will be difficult to express these though, because humanity doesn't value them a lot yet and sees them as inherently inferior to the Masculine strengths.

The Diamond Net interesting, thanks!

[@liberaazzurra]

Michael Anthony I was talking about the personality trait of submissiveness, the willingness to comply and obey without asking questions, it was the norm in almost every culture in the past and some women still do that. For exaple christian women are often expected by the community to always obey to their husbands. I think submissiveness and dominance in the bedroom are another topic.

[@TheDiamondNet]

+Libera Azzurra - I think the fact that women tend to be more compliant than men on average comes from a mix of genuine feminine traits and social conditionings. I think that social cohesion, flexibility, and open-ness are really important traits within the Feminine principle. That said, there tend to be negative social consequences (in the form of judgment and being labeled bitchy) for women who step out of these norms. So, this makes many women (including myself when I was younger) to second-guess themselves and be too flexible with things that they should be firm about. So, these factors can make it to where women have a harder time setting boundaries and self-advocating than men. So, it currently takes a lot of nuanced thinking to tow the line between culturally conditioned submission and genuine feminine traits (which are great strengths in many contexts).

[@TheDiamondNet]

+Michael Anthony - With your first comment, I'm don't see how societal pressures toward women always acting compliant no matter what and actual surrender are the same thing. In my experience they have been diametric opposites. In order for someone to truly surrender and experience those subtler feelings, they have to feel safe enough to relax and accept their emotions and preferences for what they are. But if there is fear of judgment or being seen as lesser, then it's quite difficult for someone to relax into themselves to the degree that they'd be able to let those emotions flow freely. But I am aware of how those two polarities are a key component in attraction. I've known that since I was twenty and I had those experiences, which were the first time I had ever been in touch with my feminine side since early childhood. But in the context of attraction, the more Yin person will be the person who generally resonates more with the submissive role. The person who craves that in intimate situations is driven by the desire to feel vulnerable, open, relaxed, and cared for. And for them, it is less about the overt physical pleasure than it is about being bathed in a soup of erotic emotions and the other subtle happenings that communicate so much. This is very normal for a Yin-oriented person. But again, this is very much the diametric opposite of societal pressures toward women's submission in general. In fact, many women tend to feel at afraid to admit to preferring the submissive role in intimate situations because there is always someone using this general trend to shove women back into the prisons of yesteryear. And because of that there's also a ton of women who are afraid of being put back in those boxes, there tends to be a bit of a taboo about enjoying that role in older schools of thought in Feminism which still tends to trickle into many societal norms. I would guess from the way that I behave that I am more Yang-heavy because that's always what I end up getting comfortable with. But I somewhat suspect that much of my feminine side is still deeply repressed. When I had those experiences, one thing that came to the surface was a deep feeling of Femininity and it was in me and all around me. So, it was the Divine Feminine and it was also the everyday feminine that I had repressed. And I was able to experience it then because I wasn't afraid of it in that state and what its implications were for my own potential inferiority under my own negative judgments toward the feminine and girls/women in general. This negative attitude toward the feminine is something that I'm still working on mending. I still very much prefer the masculine and I am set in very masculine ways of being, to the point where I don't really know how else to be. And I relate this feminine resistance both to the events in my own life relative to my negative experiences with girls/women as well as societal repression of The Divine Feminine. So, basically, the patterns that I mentioned at the end where women tend to go one way or the other with the feminine. They either hyper-identify with traditional femininity and traditional femininity ONLY, thus painting themselves into a very small box. Or they do what I did. They completely extricate themselves from their dominant energy to avoid the box of traditional femininity and identify themselves with the Masculine Principle which is so much more open and free at present. And there are a LOT of boons to doing this in comparison to the other option. For one, you're not in a box and you can learn to function in the masculine really well. And there's a ton of interesting stuff there. Stuff that's a lot more compelling and fulfilling than the things going on in the box of traditional femininity. Also, if you present as a more Yang woman society doesn't judge you in the wound-salting way that it judges women who are seen as more feminine. It judges you in a different way that doesn't get as much salt in the more sensitive wounds. And you can live an okay life, as long as you don't know you're repressed. But the problem is, so many girls/women are not able to recognize how their dominant energy is so much deeper than societal ideas about the feminine. So, because this resistance is learned early in development, it becomes incredibly difficult for women to truly embody Divine Feminine. But I've always liked dressing up and looking feminine. That's something that's never left me. As far as attractions, I tend to find myself attracted to mature and calm men who are reserved, warm-hearted, emotionally aware, and deep thinking, who also have a good humored/playful nature. Like, I'm not attracted to Rupert Spira per say. But men that I'm attracted to tend to have a similar vibe. But I hardly ever get attracted to polarly masculine men. And men of all levels of masculinity who have an extreme resistance to their feminine side tend to grate on my nerves a bit. But I also wouldn't say that I'm attracted to very androgynous men either. If a guy has a metero vibe, I don't really find that attractive. I suppose the way I would put it is that men that I like tend to be masculine in a subtle and reserved way. But I honestly don't know where I'd peg myself on that scale because of my repression. I'd say that I present as more masculine than I am because of my repression and negative feelings toward the feminine and fears of seeming that way. I still have a long way to go to fully integrate. So, at present, I'd say I present as 75% Yin and 25% Yang. But deep down, I think that I'm a bit more polar than that. It's just that the feminine part of the polarity is repressed quite a bit.

I really like your videos even though I kinda feel this is a bit "advanced" for me atm but whatever, I enjoy it and learn something everytime. Is femininity and masculinity something that is pure nature or is it something we humans have "created" so to speak? I hope you understood my question!

[@TheDiamondNet]

Humanity creates social constructs based around the feminine and masculine. And these are the cultural lenses I was talking about in the video. They aren't the light itself. But they are one of the many things that allows the feminine and masculine to come to fruition. That said, many of our cultural lenses are distorted and limited. So, it's important to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff.

[@AtheistVitalist]

So politically the Left is largely Yin, and the Right yang?

[@Chrome166]

Personally I think it tends to lean that way a little bit, but in reality both sides of polarized politics are very Yang in the way that they choose to prioritize one group's interests over another. The Yin approach would be to listen to both sides and try to compromise and coexist with all groups of people and their needs. I tend to think the left is a little more Yin because it's it's trying to integrate missing things into society rather than trying to conserve the imbalanced things that are already there, even if the political approach in general is inextricably Yang-oriented.

[@TheDiamondNet]

+liberalatheist - Well, neither one is really Yin. They're both an outgrowth of a Yin-repressed society and all ideologies of all kinds are inherently a Yang expression. So, they're both quite Yang. But Yang can either work against Yin or work in the favor of Yin. So, there's Yang that's resistant to integration with Yin, and there's Yang that's receptive to integration with Yin. So, I think that the Right tends to do the former the majority of the time, and the Left tends to do a mixed bag of things that both work against and in favor of Yin integration. Now, keep in mind that I was talking about the average person, with no vested interests, on the Right and the Left. I wasn't talking about politicians and the status quo of the government. Both the Left and Right in politics tend to work in favor of the status quo, and a huge change like Divine Feminine Integration would be dangerous to their wallets and their status. Most politicians aren't principled in the face of money and the boon of power. So, politically, it's very important to know about the things that I talked about in the video and exercise discernment with which policies we support and what their effects will be on society. So, even though the average person on the Left tends to resist the Divine Feminine somewhat less than the average person on the Right, it doesn't mean that this will be reflected very well in mainstream politics with some liberal politician who's deep in the pockets of big business and its vested interest toward maintaining the status quo.

Hello :)

[@TheDiamondNet]

Hello :)

[@GamaAnderson]

All societies have ever been masculine. At what point that stop being a bug and start being a feature?

[@TheDiamondNet]

Patriarchy is a natural feature of the system of humanity at earlier phases in development. But once we become powerful enough as a species to truly dominate and harm nature, another natural feature springs forth from the system. This natural feature is the reintegration of the Divine Feminine into the human system and all the social patterns that aide in the process of integration. So, when times were polarly patriarchal that was natural outgrowth of human evolution as a system. But now that it's changing, this is also a natural outgrowth of human evolution as a system. So, we've never done anything as a species that was truly a problem or a mistake. It's all just been expressions of our natural evolutionary cycle.

[@TheDiamondNet]

+John Yin - Men didn't create the Masculine Principle oriented system, nature did. So, to point out the fact that the issues within society stem from the dis-integration of the Feminine Principle, isn't blaming men. It's all been a completely invisible hand issue, and didn't have any clear culprits. The system is essentially the thing responsible for creating its own behavior. That's one of the core principles of systems thinking. Now, the individual human players within the system can have influence on the system. So, a person can either are complicit in the continued repression of the Divine Feminine or one can be of service to its integration. That's the choice that we have. But ultimately, most issues that spring from a particular system weren't any particular person's fault. It just came up as a latent behavior within the system. Also, the fact that businesses where you live are geared toward women, isn't a good example of the Feminine Principle. Business is an aspect of the Masculine Principle no matter which gender is its target audience or who has created the business. That's why I said that thinking of these issues in terms of human gender can blindside you to the deeper nuances and applications of this topic. Just because something is appreciated by women, doesn't mean it has to do with the Feminine Principle. But you can think of business in two ways: 'Businesses that work at the expense of the Feminine Principle' and 'Businesses that work in harmony with the Feminine Principle.' The former is a dis-integrated business and the latter is an integrated business.

[@TheDiamondNet]

+Michael Anthony - I say that business is commonly an expression of Yang because it is centered around doing, producing, taking raw material and forming it into something (often), technology, and other similar Yang-like traits. So, human inventions of all kinds tend to be more of an expression of Yang than Yin. Plus, if someone says the word business, I get lots of Yang-related images popping into my mind. But, of course, there is no such thing as Yang without some Yin. So, there would inevitably be some Yin elements within all business models.

[@TheDiamondNet]

+Michael Anthony - There are an infinite amount of nuances to these topics. So, what you're saying is true. There is Yin and Yang in all systems, so saying something like business is a Yang system isn't ultimately false, when all is said and done. That said, taking that nuanced perspective on this topic makes it difficult to talk about in a way that effectively illustrates the issues at hand. It makes people get lost in the weeds of the details and nuances, without realizing the general pattern. Basically, missing the forest for the trees. So, what I'm doing is being general and saying that business are basically Yang, because they are actually more Yang in general. But there is Yin there if you look closely because there can be no system without both Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are never separate.

[@TheDiamondNet]

+Michael Anthony - It's definitely a trap relative to seeking enlightenment. But because this video is more about reintegration on the individual and societal levels, it helps for people to have a general idea of which traits are more Yin and which traits are more Yang. That way, the imbalance and disintegration can be recognized for what it is, and remedied.

You trying to explain masculinity is like me trying to explain feminity it doesn't work.

[@JonathanLevinTKY]

Don't appreciate the patriarchal oppression narrative. Even by your points for masculinity, those traits help to survive and we have been trying to survive pretty much till the 1950s. These are traits that are still helpful to succeed today. Admiring them, does not mean that society is oppressing another gender. Even with traits, men appreciate women's traits to care for their family. You have tainted your lesson with an ideology and a psuedo-philosophy. Take your systems thinking for example, can you say that 'patriarchy' is a system? it isn't - its an emergent behaviour.

[@liberaazzurra]

She didn t say that those ttaits where not useful, but that we need to integrate more femininity within society and within each one of us, to create completion.

[@liberaazzurra]

Patriarchy was a survival behaviour that we needed for a lot of time, but it is possible that now we need to drop it to not destoy the Earth.

[@liberaazzurra]

And why would' n t we admire feminine traits as well? They' re just as useful and needed and honorable.

[@JonathanLevinTKY]

If more masculine traits were needed for survival, then no oppression happened. We chose to go them to be able to continue our species. It is only in recent decades that we have the safety net or relative comfort from nature to explore and integrate more traits.

[@liberaazzurra]

Jonathan Ⓥ Babies cannot survive without they' re caretakers being warm, emotionally attuned and intuitively understanding of they' re needs. Through the study of psycology we know that only feeding and cleening them is not enoug. It has been proven that babies and children who were raised in orphanages, who were fed and whose basic survival need where properly taken care off, but were denied emotional relationship and tender physical connection to adult caretakers died at extremely high rates if compared to infants whose emotional needs where taken care off. Similar studies on chimps demonstrated that if babies where just feed and kept alive, without the closeness to their mothers, they either died, or developed nervous issues and when it was their turn to become parents they either abused and killed they' re offspring, or neglected it until it died, google it if you want. So, obviously without feminine traits the human species would have not survived, it' s actually weird that someome would think that this could have been possible. Also consider not only the fights between the populations, but also the cohesion and attuned cooperativity that has always kept single cultures and human groups toghether. According to neurobiology we developed our mirror neurons - aka empathy- and therefore the willingness to care about the needs of others in our groups. This togheter with, social structure, science, technology and defense, permitted us to survive to theese days.
