#21 – Feminine & Masculine

Phew… the last for months for me have been completely nuts! As I decompress and try to pick up the pieces of my shattered existence, with up ended belief systems and insane spiritual attacks.

Through the haze of the chaos there have been though various key enlightening revelations. One being the balance of my masculine and feminine energies. So in this podcast, I decided to explore these energies from within and without.

Podcast transcript

The following text is a A.I created transcript of the podcast, so it may not be a completely accurate representation of my spoken words.

Hello. Welcome. This is the Reconsider Simon podcast, where we delve into the weird and wonderful aspects of our reality. This is podcast number 21, and I’m going to be, yeah. I think I’m feeling quite saucy and dangerous today.

I’m gonna be talking about feminine and masculine in terms of the energies, also about, potentially, about gender as well, which is a big hot potato at the moment. So, yeah, let’s do it. You may or may not be aware, but the whole idea of, like, masculine and feminine energies and genders is really in the public arena at the moment being debated quite hard. I think some of the the various aspects that have been discussed are relatively valid in some instances. But there is an aspect in my humble opinion where I think some of the true aspects of feminine and masculine are maybe under attack and there’s various inversions going on.

And my reason behind it, I think, you know, maybe to control humanity, but also just to cause division as well and set people against each other, and it’s a huge distraction. And I think I mean, I’m this is my own opinion here, but they particularly within the West, I think the debate really is over very quite small, tiny subsection of society. Now the media like to blow things up massively. But I think there’s another aspect to this where I think this is the collective shadow that is emerging as well, healing various archetypes. And I think it’s not just happening on the macro.

It’s in it’s happening in the micro. Like, I’m struggling with my own feminine and masculine energies, and I’ve been wrangling with that recently. So that’s really come up for me. But I think that’s coming up on a wider point as well externally to the whole population. So that’s kind of a brief brief, synopsis, I think, what’s going on at the moment.

So just a quick, very indulgent personal update, which, yeah, as I’ve mentioned, the reason why I’m doing this podcast, so the whole kind of masculine and feminine energies within myself and unhealed aspects of myself has really come to the surface. So that’s hence why we’re talking about that today. But, yeah, I don’t really like to make this as a big pity party, but these last few months for me have been really, really horrendous. It’s It’s kind of what one of the reasons why I haven’t really been producing that much content. And a lot of it is surrounding my health, which has been very, very painful and elaborate.

And I’ve had very, very, I don’t know why I’m laughing, but I guess it’s just because of the the craziness of what’s been going on. I’ve had these very, very strange, very intense spiritual attacks, and it’s just been this never ending interference. Thankfully, I’m sort of coming out of all of that now, and I’m still really decompressing actually what happened. And I know on previous podcast, I sort of mentioned about twin flame energies coming into the mix as well in my life again for the second time. And so I’ve sort of had a very strange situation with that as well.

So I’ve just been it feels like I’ve been hit on all sides. And the twin flame energies, again, I’m decompressing on that, what that sort of meant, and it has felt amazing at points. But it’s been very much draining my energy and has been a factor in making my health worse, unfortunately. So, yeah, it’s just been wild. Just been hit on all sides.

It’s been a very intense few months for me, and I think it has for a few other people as well. But, you know, generally watching other people in the YouTube space and, and other videos, online videos, and health is a big thing at the moment. And thankfully, you know, the sun is now shining outside, and I’m feeling a lot better. I’m still not perfect. But, yeah, the kind of the the hot weather is kind of being quite welcome, and I’m just feeling a lot more balanced now in myself as well, which is it’s really, really good.

And I feel well enough really to sort of do this podcast, but I have really been knocked off my perch. And what’s been going on has been like so wild. I, but in my whole life, I can imagine what’s been going on. And at some point, I’m going to sort of probably talk about it. But it’s just it’s really just completely shattered me and has had me questioning literally all of my spiritual beliefs that I’ve accrued, I guess, since probably about 02/2016, ‘2 thousand ’14.

That’s just, like, will be when I vaguely got to start getting spiritual and sort of found conspiracies. But it’s just literally hit me to the core. The whole foundation has been smashed, and I’ve gone back to square one in terms of, like, okay, what do I believe? What’s going on in this reality? Who am I?

Just all of these, like, huge questions. And I’ve had to really question my own intuition because that was infiltrated, which is crazy. And I know I’ve done quite a lot of loads, but I did a few videos to do with a heightened level of awareness, particularly in terms of, like, feeling energy. And I’ve, you know, collected a lot of data and started speaking about that sort of stuff. And, you know, being honest, it brings all of that into question.

So I’m not completely writing it off, and I’m still sort of decompressing trying to figure out what the hell has gone on. But, yeah, at some point, I will kind of own up to that and try and sort of figure out exactly how to navigate, you know, what I’d released before in terms of videos and where I stand on certain things now. Overall, I have to give myself a lot of distance over this entire situation. I’m generally starting to get a little bit more clarity every day as I progress, but I’ve had to give myself time to heal and just to get myself back on my own two feet. And again, maybe I’ll talk about what’s been going on because it is quite extraordinary.

But, yeah, I still need a bit of time to kind of really decompress and kind of figure out what the hell has been going on. And I guess there’s a strange aspect to these aspects of growth. You know, it has generally pushed me off my path, like, from what I was on, and I’m now going in a completely different direction. And it has caused utter chaos. And there is this general pattern that seems to be in my life when these spiritual awakenings occur.

They have been quite painful. And, again, bringing up the idea when I first started getting into this in the background, you know, it was I was having quite a painful, like, unhappy time. And the first time I got into spiritualist stuff, I was found meditation, but I just come out of a long term relationship. Again, my health wasn’t that great. There was just general dissatisfaction of me living in London at the time, and I didn’t know what I was doing.

So it just seems this pattern of, like, spiritual growth when, you know, something huge happens and more revelation sort of come into view for me. It’s always in a background of, like, quite painful things, like, floating around me and experiencing quite painful experiences. And it’s never spiritual growth for me is never like a love and light amazing experience. It’s always been very varying degrees of pain, unfortunately. As you can hear, I’ve become quite blackpilled by everything.

I’m going through very much a nihilistic period, not really trusting my own intuition, unfortunately, and anything around me and any information that I’ve been, you know, latched onto over these last few years. It just feels everything’s really just like an illusion. I’ve just been experiencing these really hyper illusions around me. So it’s been quite hard to know what to trust, and I’m just coming out of that period of just like, okay, what’s truth? I don’t know.

Start again. So part of this healing period really has is really brought in the idea of, like, feminine and masculine energies, like, into view for me. And really, I hadn’t really kind of considered this, but these are really, like, fundamental energies, you know, not only to ourselves, but to our planet. And it kind of inhabits so many aspects of our reality, this idea of, like, feminine and masculine energies. And they’re so, so important.

And it’s it’s kind of strange that I’ve never really delved into it that much in terms of myself. I realize now how important it is. And, again, these opposites and contrasting energies really just flow through everything, more than just people. There are just various spiritual concepts like such as earth energies we’ve spoken about, I think, from this channel. It’s to do with masculine and feminine ley lines, water as well.

There are different feminine and masculine aspects of water, celestial bodies. So, obviously, the planets, the sun, the moon, obviously, have various kind of gender expressions as well. And even just the basics like language as well, not maybe in English so much, but definitely more like Spanish and French. These are kind of fundamental, like, rules to the language. It has a feminine and masculine kind of expression to it.

So in this episode, I’m really gonna be exploring not just the feminine and masculine energies within myself, but just the whole of reality. You know, what do these energies how they interweave through these various concepts that we interact with on a sort of daily basis. So that’s going to be the the remit for this podcast. And going back to my more personal experiences, which, again, I’m still packing, and I had these really severe spiritual attacks. And I’m trying to look at it as, like, okay, this is this because it’s derailing me off my my path from what I was doing, or is it realigning me on a different path?

And is it showing me unhealed aspects? I’m just trying to see the positive in this rather than it just being completely like a black pill. Oh my god. I’m being attacked. You know?

Why? Why? Why? You know, trying to see the silver lining to sort of see if there’s some kind of positive that kinda comes out of this. And within myself, I’ve always considered maybe that I’m more in my feminine energy.

I’ve never really considered myself like a really masculine blokey guy. And I think some of, like, the archetypes or the characteristics, really, particularly in, like, British society of, like, what makes a man is, oh, you you like football. And there’s always kind of more cultural things that people attach themselves to, which are probably, like, unhelpful. I don’t really like a lot of those kind of cultural things that kinda are supposed to make you a man. So I haven’t really had any kind of, like, association with these types of characteristics.

But what was fascinating to try and gain some clarity and get some some outside help, I had a really helpful session with someone. And she helped me realize, actually, I had unhealed feminine aspects within me, and it was kind of my masculine was sort of there. It was sort of dominant sort of dormant. But it’s the feminine really that has really needed to be looked at. So that was quite a profound moment.

And I do have this tendency to work very, very hard and sometimes find it difficult to relax and maybe nurture myself and give myself unconditional love. And I think that put probably points towards maybe a dominant masculine, just a feminine that’s just not working correctly. And as these unhealed dark feminine energies, which the healer, this is her language and her sort of lexicon called the Medusa gaze, which was quite interesting. You know, that’s, like, Greek mythology of the the woman with the snakes coming out of her heads and sort of turns men to stone. And it was a helpful kind of visual because it kind of related to me and past relationships of peace people I’ve chosen before, and I’m not throwing shade to them, because we’re all on our path.

They’re all unhealed aspects of them and unhealed aspects for me, and we’re just, like, mirroring each other. But it just goes to show, you know, how the unhealed dark feminine energy within me has kind of was basically dictating, like, who I was choosing in these romantic relationships. And, you know, being honest, I haven’t really had an amazing, history with romantic relationships, if I’m being honest. So it’s that idea of, like, finding that true feminine feminine aspect within me. And it’s the same for everyone.

Obviously, you can be a man. It can be a woman, but you’re going to have that polarity of feminine and masculine energies within you. And that’s really important to to recognize. And this idea of just, like, nurturing yourself, nurturing ideas, and it just affects everything if that’s off balance. It affects your friendships, which it definitely has.

To affect. It affects your compassion to yourself, which definitely has as well in terms of nurturing yourself. And a lot of my, you know, healing throughout these years in terms of, like, dealing with traumas, it’s been really focused on, like, the inner child. And I’ve used, like, a range of modalities like I’m sure you have listening at the moment. You’ve probably done a whole load of different types of practice, and there’s so much out there.

It’s quite an amazing time for that to really kind of, you know, self analyze and figure yourself out and heal yourself from, like, patterns and ancestral stuff. But stranger, I’ve never really looked at my own feminine and masculine aspects, and this has really been lost in the process, really. So I guess now it’s time for me to really look at these things. And, again, it’s really intrinsic to the whole human experience. If these things are off, then your experience is gonna be off and balancing and healing these energies.

It’s foundational. And, again, in some weird way, I haven’t really sort of tackled these before, and it’s taken me all these years to kinda get to this point of deep thought and deep introspection. And I guess this is, like, a small silver lining to some of these spiritual attacks and just my life being completely turned upside down. It’s kind of brought me to this point. I mean, the theory is if you’re feminine and masculine is in balance and it creates harmony, it creates harmony within yourself and your life and harmony around you and the relation great relationships around you and the external reality.

But, you know, what is this idea of the perfect divine masculine, the perfect divine feminine energies? What are these? You know, what is the template? Do we really realistically understand what it means? Will we ever I mean, these are big questions I’ve been considering, really.

Because you can do so much research. There’s so many websites out there discussing this online and also, obviously, video streaming platforms. Tons of people talking about these things, but and it has all these various characteristics that people talk about. But, really, going forward in the future. I mean, do we really, really understand these energies?

Do we really understand the core hill template for feminine, the core hill template for masculine? And we don’t have a lack of information because if you, you know, looking within, you know, the the new age communities, like online video stream platforms again, or even just traditional religious methodologies. It could be kinda Christianity. It could be Islam. It could be, like, Buddhism.

They all have their own traditions. They all have their own information on how they treat the masculine and feminine. So there is so much information out there to sort of get your teeth into, which is what I’ve been doing for this podcast, and it’s been incredibly helpful. But there’s this big thing. If you look at the media at the moment, it’s just this cultural thing where you’re creating these two forces, and they’re being set against each other.

And I’m seeing it time and time again. It just keeps coming up, and especially if you look in the algorithm of, like, Facebook’s just, like, constant feminine and masculine. It’s it’s been you know, culture at the moment is creating a battlefield for gender, and it is really, really ridiculous. And it’s like, there has to be a winner and there has to be a loser. It’s all binary.

One is really bad, and the other one’s really, really good. It’s just insane. And I guess, you know, it’s, again, the collective shadow, but I think there are definitely forces within the tech space and within media that are really just throwing, like, water into a chip pan just to kind of blow it up and just to get people at each other and just this real suspicion with each, you know, whether you’re a woman or a man. Yeah. It’s just it’s just crazy at the moment.

So returning back to me because it is my podcast, and my my weak side was my feminine side. And that’s not to say that the feminine is weak. It was just in the this particular case, my feminine side had experienced trauma, so it wasn’t operating correctly. I’d maybe I’d lost connection with the purity of any energy in some way. And then my masculine side was either not present or it would be dominating.

Again, I’m still trying to figure these things out and flesh it all out. But the next question comes from is that where where is this damage come from? Where is this trauma come from? Is this from past lives? Is this epigenetics in terms of, like, family being passed down through generations?

Is it who you’ve, like, acquainted yourself with over your lifetime in terms of, like, friends and the templates and the models of, like, what femininity is and what masculinity is? Is it damaged through, you know, previous relationships? You know, that can happen. So there’s a big question of, like, where has this, like, trauma occurred. And in terms of, like, the wounded feminine, which I’m talking about now, there’s all these, like, archetypes that a lot of people will be aware of because of the very cultural the idea of the evil stepmother you see in fairy tales, you know, who dominates people and is not very nice, or you get a seductress who uses their kind of sexy ways to kind of get what they want.

So there’s all these, like, archetypes that people know about the wounded feminine, sort of the dark feminine. A note of caution. Again, when discussing these traits of the wounded feminine, I’m drawing a lot of information from the Internet and from books and just from my own, you know, intuition and experience in life. And, obviously, going forward, really, we need to explore what are these healed aspects of the feminine? What are these healed aspects of the masculine?

What does that mean? But, you know, in terms of gender, if you’re a man or a woman, these energies are gonna be slightly different in terms of the polarity and the severity will differ depending on your gender. And it’s the idea of the wounded feminine maybe that you’re maybe resisting your femininity. You’re disconnected from yourself from the softer side. It’s all go go go.

You know? You’re just always about producing stuff and action and not nurturing yourself in any sort of way. Or maybe you just see the feminine as part of your weak side. And this is really, I think, prevalent across modern society, you know, most definitely in the most recent history where, you know, these ideas of nurturing and going slow are seen as weaknesses, you know, like laziness in some way. So there’s definitely a huge amount of balance, and it needs to happen across, you know, the whole of society to accept that more softer way of living.

Throughout my adult life, I’ve genuinely been quite guilty of this, but just the idea of just not giving yourself space and just filling your life with things to do all the time and just not nurturing yourself and just maybe just sitting there and doing nothing for a period of time. These last few months, I’ve had a lot of time to do that and reflect, so that’s been very much different to majority of my adult life. And this is the idea that you just have to appear tough to the world, to tough people around you and strong even though inside you’re just completely falling apart. Of course, when you’re born into this world, your mother is the most important model of feminine energy in a way. And if she’s had a bad time from her family, you know, from your grandparents, obviously, these, like, trauma is gonna be passed down to her.

And so that’s gonna affect your relationship with your mother in so many different ways. And, again, it’s not her fault, and it’s not your ancestors fault. It’s just what’s happened. So this all affects your own femininity of the energies within you and, you know, affects your ability to feel safe in a relationship, to feel sensual, to feel love, and not to feel shame and guilt around your sexuality and your body. These can all affect romantic relationships because of that kind of mother mother template.

So it’s really gonna affect you in so many intricate ways, you know, subtle ways you are not even aware of sometimes. And it’s just that idea of just not seeing the beauty in yourself being, you know, just loving yourself. You’re really saccharine at the moment. Just love yourself. But, yeah, I mean, unfortunately, then what’s gonna happen is that you’re gonna experience the wounded masculine.

If you then come into union with someone into a relationship, it’s gonna bring up codependency in their relationship. Unfortunately, it might start to bring up ideas of abuse, maybe verbal abuse, and unfortunately, physical abuse can happen. And that can be e either from a man or a woman in in a relationship, just I don’t think segregated to one particular sex sometimes. And that has definitely been a part of my romance story. I mean, not to the extremes, but there’s definitely been elements within that, and I’m sure I’ve done that to other people as well.

That’s a brief run through some of the traits of the wounded feminine that I’ve come across, I think, you know, from researching and I’ve come across in my own personal experience. And, again, really, what is the hill template? What is that? That’s the big question. But I’m gonna now really focus on the idea of archetypes.

And it’s funny when you contrast the amount of dark feminine archetypes compared to masculine, there are so many more. And it’s fascinating. Like, why would that be? Is that because there’s an overall fear or rejection of the feminine? It’s just that’s part of it, that culturally, we just created so many ideas of what what constitutes a dark feminine character?

Or is it, you know, to be fair to the feminine, is it just because the feminine energy is just, like, more kaleidoscopic? Is it just really, really complex compared to the masculine? Maybe the masculine energy is a bit more simple, and the feminine is just so much more complex. And that is why you have this huge kaleidoscope of different archetypes. I thought maybe because the feminine is that much more spiritual, there’s just more depth to it.

There’s just more complexity. And, again, this is my own reading on the situation, so I’m projecting here. And, again, through the course of researching this, I’ve sort of really readjusted some of my opinion, I guess, on masculine and feminine energies. But is it because the masculine is more of a movement? It’s more of a forward motion, more of a protectorate.

It’s just a simpler thing. I don’t know. Just, you know, discuss. But here’s a following list of some of the archetypes that I found. A lot of them you’ll find in, again, in cultural films, movies, stories.

There’s always an aspect to these archetypes. And, also, I should point this out. These archetypes, these unhealed feminine archetypes, even though I’m saying unhealed feminine, I don’t think in a lot of cases, it doesn’t mean it’s bad or unhealed, because some I think sometimes you can call upon these energies to help you in life. These archetypes can be used to useful, and they’re just illustrative of different aspects of the self. It’s a visual three d way of describing these energies, and the energy is very, very complex.

And as humans, we need we need patterns. We need we need, like, drawings. We need imagery to sort of describe what it is. And these archetypes are really, really helpful for that. So the first archetype is the idea of the witch, the the mystical, powerful woman who’s feared for her knowledge and her magic.

And I think within a culture and religious context, particularly in United Kingdom, Hundreds Of Years ago when, you know, religion and Christianity were so prevalent throughout society, but in a very, very fearful way, fire and brimstone way. That when you had women, maybe, who were living on their own, who were very adept at herbs and healing people and had maybe particular sacred knowledge, They’re very much tarred as being these, like, very evil people, and they were burnt at stake, unmistaken, treated incredibly poorly. And I guess that archetype still kind of exists to that day. And I think there is the idea maybe there are people who are witches that are maybe working on the darker side of life, and but they’re also white witches as well doing incredibly good, nice things. So that is definitely the duality of these archetypes is very, very interesting.

Moving on, then we have the seductress using her learned sexuality, challenging norms of sex. So, yeah, again, this is culturally throughout films and stories and things are not necessarily always a bad thing. You know, sometimes the Duchess can be a positive character. Then there’s the femme fatale who’s very attractive and ensnaring and manipulative and leaves men in ruin. So, yeah, I would I would say that as more of a negative archetype in some particular way.

Then there’s the devouring or the dark mother who is destructive, intensely nurturing, but maybe too intense when they actually end up smothering and consuming their loved ones. So, yeah, I wouldn’t say really that this kind of archetype may be a bit more negative side. There’s less of duality with the positive there. Then moving on, there’s the destroyer, which I never heard heard of before, who brings chaos and death, but also transformation. So maybe I’ve had a bit of that recently.

So maybe lady destroyer has moved into my life, and caused chaos and caused death, not in a literal sense, but just death of a previous self, a previous path in some way and create a transformation. So, again, there’s a duality in that particular archetype. Then there’s more of a balanced archetype. The crone, who’s a wise, old, educated being, again, bringing transformation. So without a doubt, way more positive archetype than the feminine without a doubt.

And the next one, the dark priestess. Keeper of a cult knowledge, channeling supernatural, challenging authority in the patriarchy. So, yeah, I guess, in a way, this is a more of a positive archetype. Archetype. Maybe there’s a bit of darkness in there some way, but she welded in a in a positive way.

So, yeah, again, a bit of duality on that one. The next is the dark maiden who’s innocent in appearance, but whales deep on hidden power and subverting her passivity. So, yeah, that’s a that’s a really interesting one. So it’s from external perspective. A lot of people would mistake her for being passive and just very, very mute.

But actually, underneath is incredibly strong and and wields this incredible hidden strength, which you can base your leash at any point and just surprise everyone. So, yeah, I would say that’s a very, very positive archetype. And, yes, maiden would be pointing towards a younger individual, younger woman, I would I would assume. The mad woman inhabiting chaos, rebellion, untamed freedom, and driven mad by normality. So, yeah, I would say, again, this is very much a positive archetype.

So if you’re wanting to break out of normality, break out of just constant drudgery, the mad woman, inhabit that energy, it’d be very, very helpful. But I guess if you inhabit it for too long, it could be very, very destructive. So assume there, again, a slight duality to that one as well. And then finally, the warrior, which I would say is a very, very positive one. It’s fierce, independent, and unafraid.

So you have without a doubt, wielding those energies would be very, very helpful, but, obviously, in a very particular context. So there you go. That’s the wounded feminine, some of the traits, maybe, that you may encounter with the wounded feminine, and then aspects of archetypes with the feminine. Obviously, not always bad, not always wounded. Some of these energies can be really, really helpful to wield in particular situations.

So and that can be for men or women, so it’s not necessarily segregated to a particular gender. So we continue on to the wounded masculine and the masking archetypes. And in terms of definition of the the wounded masculine, the traits, like I said earlier, it does feel sometimes that the masculine energies may be a bit simpler compared to the feminine. But But this is maybe I’m putting a bias in there because I’m sort of drawing heavily, quite heavily from sort of new age spirituality, and then also Western spirituality as well. And as I will detail later, we get to some of the religious concepts.

Actually, some of the feminine and masculine energies appear slightly different in some of these traditions. But many of the unhealed aspects of the masculine, immediately, most people recognize this is the the idea of aggression, just overreacting and having a really, really quick temper and then needing to dominate. And I think at the moment, that masculine ended that sort of spit was I hate I hate this word, but toxic masculine. This is quite prevalent in the cultural space at the moment in the mainstream that’s been spoken at length at the moment. And, you know, there’s obviously kind of other aspects to the unhealed masculine where it’s just you’re un emotionally unavailable.

You’re sort of struggling to express your emotions, and you’re just generally just shutting down emotionally as well. Other traits is the idea of just being hyper competitive and just that real constantly to win all the time, even expense of your own personal relationships around you. So that’s one aspect. And then another would be the fear of vulnerability, just avoiding being vulnerable in front of people and just actually viewing the idea of being vulnerable as your actual weakness and a lack, you know, in connections. Can also bring about ideas of control issues in people, just wanting to control outcomes, wanting to control people, situations, and just that real fear of uncertainty.

And, you know, some of these traits now affects everyone, you know, men and women without a doubt. And can also bring about this is a universal thing as well, the difficulty in trusting others and just having that protection mechanism, you know, of perceived threats. Just not being trusting of people. This is where it gets slightly interesting where, like, the idea of neglecting self care. Yeah.

You can make maybe the put that in the wounded feminine, but it could also be in the wounded masculine. The idea of like you’re prioritizing other people’s needs around you, your family, your partner, or even society as a whole, which can lead out lead to burnout. So that idea of go, go, go, I’ve got to fix this person or I’ve got to fix this problem in society, masculine go, go, go energy. So that’s kind of unhealed. But at the same time, you’re not nurturing yourself, which is also a feminine aspect.

So sometimes some of these concepts and ideas can sort of span the two energies in a weird sort of way. And, again, obviously, if you’re prioritizing other people or other societal needs outside of yourself, that can lead to eventual resentment because you feel it’s not being reciprocated back at you. Now moving through to the masculine archetypes. Yeah. Again, just wanna reiterate.

This feels a lot simpler these archetypes in comparison when you contrast it with the the feminine. You’ll see what I mean in a moment. So the first one will be the tyrant king. This is the tyrannical individual who abuses his power, and craves power and tends to dominate over people that he’s supposed to be taking care of. On the opposite side of that, you have the weakling king.

It’s an individual who abdicates responsibility and hides from the challenges that he’s supposed to be sorting out. And the next one would be the sadist warrior. And, actually, as opposed to being a positive warrior, archetype is more the individual delights in cruelty and dishing out pain. So very, very different. And another warrior archetype would be the masochist masochist?

The masochist warrior who turns the aggression inwards, so likes causing himself pain, which is a bit fruity. And, yeah, and then another one who’s a bit more well known, would be the magician. This is a detached manipulator who exploits individuals through his knowledge. But, yeah, again, I would say the magician can also be a positive archetype as well in certain circumstances. Then you have the lover.

These are gonna be more sort of duality based ones, I think, going forward. The lover is addicted and consumed by desire and has no boundaries or self control. And, again, I think the lover can be a positive archetype in certain situations. And, obviously, these ones here I’m describing are a bit more toxic. And then another one would be the wild man, similar to the wild woman, I guess.

And, yeah, this is an untamed primal force. It’s aggressive and chaotic. And so, yeah, again, could be quite toxic or negative in certain situations. But if you’re looking for transformation, then the wild man will be a good energy to sort of try and channel. And then you have the green man, which size more with the natural, the wild side of life, but also can be destructive.

You know? Nature is a a beautiful creation, but at the same time, it can be very destructive at the same time. So it just it holds that dualism again. And another one I never really heard of before is called the pan. And this is more of an animalistic energy full of sexual desire, again, causing chaos and disruption, you know, wherever he goes.

But, yeah, again, I think that will maybe be a duality thing because, again, in certain context, that that amnolistic sort of pan energy could be quite useful. So that’s a quick run through some of the masculine archetypes. And, yeah, again, I just reiterate. I just feel a feminine just has more complexity. It’s just more nuanced to those energies.

And, yeah, it’s obviously all this information I’ve just grabbed off the Internet for the purposes of this podcast, and you may have different opinions about how some of these energies operates and how you would describe it. I guess it’s it can be a very, very subjective thing. But these are very, you know, helpful visual aids to, again, just describe energy. That’s what’s that’s how they operate. But, you know, there’s a whole global trend, really, of just repeating the idea of, like, the rise of the feminine and down with the patriarchy.

But you could maybe look at it as a maybe the masculine side is misunderstood and not really fully formed yet or being explored correctly rather than it being sort of cast aside as being dangerous and toxic, which is part of the global conversation at the moment, particularly within the media. I think maybe we need to need to reframe it and actually kind of explore the masculine energies a bit more. These dual energies, these archetypes are playing out twenty four seven, seven days a week, three sixty five days a year, you know, in the arena of human drama and emotions and actions, and we’re all acutely aware of these these energies constant. You can’t get away from them. The beauty of it, the joy of it, the pain, the chaos.

Again, it’s twenty four seven when you’re awake. And then when you’re sleeping, you can’t get away from it because then you’re dreaming about it. So this is like this constant theater that’s always there playing out in so many different ways, and we’re constantly reminded by it. So I’ve just explored the surface level ideas of some of these energies of masculine and feminine within the human lexicon, the human emotions, the human body, the human vessel. But in reality, these energies of feminine and masculine are everywhere in our reality, and particularly prevalent through religion and, obviously, various different spiritual modalities and even beyond that.

So that’s what I’m gonna really explore now. And particularly, looking into the spiritual and religious, some of the some of the kind of religious traditions are not that clued up on. It’s been incredibly helpful, actually, to sort of see how they view these energies. But, again, it’s not just the human vessel that dances with these energies. The division of male and female surrounds and feels like it.

It fills so many aspects of reality, and it’s just fundamental in so many ways. Even on a molecular level, you can sort of poetically read the atom atom with the central womb like a nucleus that could be like a feminine type of archetype, and then the masculine electrons whizzing around with all their action. So, yeah, maybe it just could go that deep. You could sort of poetically sort of decode on a molecular level how some of these energies are operating. Even in the macro actions of your life, you know, what you spend your time doing on a day to day basis, whether it be Monday to Friday, you know, how how are you harnessing these energies?

The feminine side of life, maybe you’re nurturing people via education or healing. You know, these are all feminine aspects. Or maybe your job or, you know, how you spend your time, majority of your life, you could be really, harnessing masculine action energy through things like engineering and construction and manufacturing and the protectorate of policing as well. These are all very masculine actions and led led activities. I think you probably look at all aspects of reality and life and really look at look for these energies, and that they’ll be there in some form or another.

But I I wrote a brief list. You know, you have electricity and magnetism, you know, being perceived as, like, a masculine and a feminine expression. And then again, like I’ve spoken about before, earth energies, ley lines, same. They have masculine and feminine aspects. Water, Taoism, with a whole yin and yang.

You have Hinduism with Shiva and Shakti energies. In alchemy, it’s I don’t really know a huge amount about alchemy, but this thing called soul and luna lunar. In the Kabbalah, the tree of life, yeah, severity and mercy. That’s actually quite an interesting one because it’s like a third strand to that as well. And the same with gnosticism as well.

There’s Sophia and Logos. And then you can go right back to ancient Egypt to Egyptian mysticism. You have Isis and Osiris as well. And then maybe more of a kind of Wicca, western, methodology. You have goddesses and gods.

Christianity, you have Mary and Christ. And if you’re a bit more esoteric of Christianity, maybe you perceive you have Mary, Magdalene, and Yeshua. And and Sufilian Sufism? Sufism. You know, it’s the more mystical side of Islam.

You have Jamal and Jalal. So you can see a lot of these spiritual and religious traditions have their own versions of these masculine and feminine archetypes and these energies and the way they describe it. But anyway, now we’re gonna be talking about electricity and magnetism. I think this is quite interesting because you have electricity, which very much dominates, you know, our technological society. Electricity’s everywhere.

And it mirrors really the current paradigm, the idea of, like, you know, having quite a patriarchy, you know, a society is full of a lot of masculine energy. And electricity is supposed to be like a masculine energy. It’s like a powerful force. It can kill you. It’s that strong.

You know, if you you accidentally touch high voltage lines, you’re done for, you know. But then there’s, like, magnetism, which is supposed to be the sort of opposite of electricity. And it can be considered to be more divine, and you have these very esoteric ideas. I don’t think they’re esoteric. You know, it’s reality, but I think there are a lot of these feminine principles within magnetism that are really being suppressed from society.

The idea of anti gravity and magnetism being sort of fundamental, to that energy, free energy as a whole, You know, electricity, very forceful energy, and requires a lot of kinetic energy to create it. Magnetism there, the base force, could be the the key to free energy. Again, a lot more of a harmonious type of energy. So this future of feminine magnetism energy is is an energy for the future. It’s more nurturing.

It’s less destructive. It’s just very poetic with our idea of the rise of the feminine. You have maybe the rise of magnetism and free energy and anti gravity, and you’re kinda coming out from that very dominant masculine electrical based technologies. I just think it’s a very nice, poetic correlation, really, between the two concepts, really. Now we have the earth energy spoken a lot about on this channel, ley lines.

Everyone knows ley lines, don’t they? Of course they do. And then within those ley lines, you’re supposed to have masculine and feminine principles. I know it’s not widely accepted across all dowsing because I was talking to one dows and he thought I was crazy for saying it was masculine and feminine energies. But that’s the kind of tradition that I learned in.

But, yeah, here in The UK, very famous example everyone knows is the Michael and Mary line, which stretches from the Southwest Tip of Cornwall and goes stretches about around about 360 miles all the way to Norfolk on the Norfolk Coast and the North Sea area. And and then, apparently, esoteric writer, John Michelle, in the nineteen sixties, very much popularized this line. And then you have pioneering dowsers, Hamish Miller, and Paul Broadhurst wrote a very famous book and really, again, popularized those lines even more and explored some of the energies. And they found that, actually, the Michael line was more in line with solar alignments and the Mary was more in line with lunar alignment. So, again, if you’re looking at celestial bodies, the sun being appeared as masculine and the moon is as as feminine, then that tallies very well.

So that’s hence why they they call these energies Michael and Mary. And, again, through some of my own research, particularly when you look at Maria Wheatley, it’s what’s fascinating about some of these masculine and feminine energies, they’re actually going through particular sacred sites that are maybe have more of a masculine expression or a feminine expression. So if you go to the AP Complex, you have Silbury Hill. You see that that Big hill, and then you have West Kennett Longbow, which you can kind of enter into. And it’s very much like a womb like feminine, type of experience.

But then you might get the masculine Michael energy. It goes through very phallic looking megaliths. So Glastonbury Tor, for instance, you know, has the big tower on the top. So it’s a very sort of protruding masculine energy. So I just think it’s fascinating how, you know, the energy that goes through, the landscape sort of defines what type of neglect is there.

So there’s a correlation there between the feminine energy of the ley line and the masculine energy of the ley line, but it also links to churches as well. So the Mary lines are relating to churches called Mary, and then some of the the masculine and Michael relates to churches called Michael. So, again, it makes it it begs the question because a lot of these churches or cathedrals we know around went out around The United Kingdom and then just around Europe, especially, they took over a lot of the sacred sites who were there pre Celtic times as well. So it just begs the question, you know, what type of megalith was there before they built the church or the cathedral? Did it have a particular masculine expression?

Did it have a particular feminine expression? Did that then dictate what they called the church or the cathedral? So that’s the old ley lines. And then you have water, which very much intrinsic to a lot of these megaliths as well, but particularly the AB Complex in my video, or at least I realized actually water is very, very important to some of these spiritual places and works, you know, in tandem with some of these earth energies without a doubt. And then you have this idea again, these a lot of these ideas are from Maria Wheatley, who I’ve looked downsy from dowsing from, and you have yang water, which is very male type of water, which is water that’s fallen from the sky.

And in terms of the energies, it’s not that great. So when you have, like, streams full of rainwater, some of the energies that kind of emitted from that aren’t great on the on the human vessel. But then you get, like, yin feminine water, which is created deep within the womb of the earth. You know? The earth, mother earth being perceived as being a feminine sort of archetype of feminine energy.

You could sort see the earth as being a womb in this water, this very spiritual water being created from the bowels from the womb of the earth. And the energy that comes from yin waters is incredibly healing, and this is why you get, like, sacred springs all around the world and spring waters revered for its healing properties, and people talk about miracles u utilizing some of these waters. So now I’m gonna look into more religious and spiritual, you know, traditions and concepts. And you have the Hindu tradition, which you have Shiva, which apparently is a masculine principle, and Shakti, which is a feminine type of energy. And the energies are harnessed throughout, you know, meditations and yoga.

I know I’ve done a lot of yoga in my life and also done a lot of meditation. And, you know, these energies, are fundamental to some of these practices. And when these, you know, energies are in balance, it brings spiritual harmony and awakening without a doubt. What’s fascinating when you go into some of these very ancient spiritual practices or religious traditions that their definitions and explanation for some of these feminine and masculine energies are very different to my very novice understanding. So it’s been really good, research and an, thought experiment to really delve deep into how these different traditions treat these energies.

And and then just really look at, I guess, like, the Western opinion of, like, masculine and the feminine, particularly from a new age perspective, and just go, hang on. Do we have this wrong? Do we have to really reform our opinions about how these these energies operate, You know, without a doubt, within the Hindu tradition, it kind of treats it slightly differently with the male Shiva energy being pure consciousness and it’s stillness, stillness, stillness, stillness, formless. It’s awareness, but it underpins all existence. So, yeah, in many ways, it feels like more of a new age, like, feminine energy, but this is this is male Shiva energy.

This is what it’s described as. But then it’s the Shakti female. It’s the one with movement, with power, with force that activates and creates and sustains the universe. So, yeah, it’s just a very fascinating, look at how they basically decode these energies. And like all of these seditions, they all say, you know, one without the other just doesn’t work.

So both of them need to be present, they need to be balanced to, you know, gain that spiritual wisdom, gain that spiritual harmony. Without these energies, nothing can be created, so they both always need to be in balance, in harmony. Now we have Taoism. It’s interesting how you sort of Taoism, you know, it’s got a silent t in it. You never say that.

But, anyway, moving on. And you have you’ll be obviously aware of the the yin yang symbol. So Chinese philosophy where you have yin energy, which is female. Again, so very different, perception on this energy. It’s it’s receptive.

It’s dark, it’s passive, and it’s cold, and can be represented by the moon and night. Whereas you have the yang masculine energy, which is light, is active, is assertive, it’s warmth, It’s the sun. It’s day. Again, to be in balance, you have the yin yang symbol. But, yeah, again, it’s just dowsing with a really good example of just showing how these energies need to be present and in harmony.

So the West illustrates these energies really as being enemies and, you know, fighting for for space, fighting for dominance in some way, which is kinda crazy. Now we have alchemy, which I don’t really know a huge amount of. I know the the basic gist of it. I’m not very well versed in the whole subject, but you have soul, which is masculine, and this is related to fire and substances like gold and sulfur and its heat and it’s dryness, and it’s light, and it’s spirit. It’s the ego.

It’s consciousness, and, the visual representation they give is the red king. Then the feminine side of that is called lunar, which is passive. It’s feminine. It’s water. In terms of the substances, it’s silver, can be represented by salt, coldness, moisture, darkness, and symbolizes the unconscious.

But it’s also very, very receptive. And the visualization that is given is the white queen. Alchemy is fascinating because it’s one of those traditions actually where there’s a third aspect that when you, bring these two energies into union, it’s called a chemical wedding. You’re sort of balancing these opposites, and the union, it creates an alchemical child called a mucurious. I hope I’m saying that right, which is an androgynous alchemical child.

It’s a synthesis of these two dualities. Now that’s quite interesting. You know, at the moment, you have a really well, not a big movement, but there’s a certain subsection in society that claim they have no gender. And, and I know particular I mean, no shade on men at all. I mean, you do what you wanna do as an adult.

It’s cool. But it’s obviously, there’s a whole aspect to potentially within, like, elites and secret societies and certain aspects of these occult rituals when yeah. I don’t know. Yeah. They’re quite into the idea of just having an androgynous individual.

I guess this kind of plays into the whole transhumanism debate as well that you’re not neither male or female. You’re you’re transcending the human form. You know, you’re leaving God’s, paradise, I guess, in a way, and you’re creating something different. You know, you’re becoming your own god in this and androgynous sort of individual. So, yeah, it’s fascinating how that kind of alchemical tradition sort of reflects those ideas.

So that’s alchemy. Now you have Kabbalah, which is Jewish mysticism. Again, it’s a tradition I don’t know a huge amount of. There’s a slight fear, I guess, on my part. Maybe that’s misplaced because I don’t understand it.

But, yeah, I mean, it’s used quite a lot just within general, like Wicker and witchy areas and even particular subsections of the new age as well. They sort of revere the idea, the kabbalistic tree of life diagrammatically describes existence. Really, you’ll be if you saw it, you’d be familiar with it. Just like three pillars and these various bubbles everywhere. So it looks like a very sort of stripped down symbolic tree.

And you have these three pillars, which is, again, slightly different to the majority of the interpretations of of some of these traditions where you have a masculine and a feminine, but you have, like, a third wheel in a way. So, yeah, the pillar of mercy, which is on the right hand side, is masculine, and this represents active creative force, expansion, loving, and giving. And then the polar opposite of that, you on the left hand side is the feminine, which is the pillar of severity, which is passive, it’s receptive, it’s restriction, it’s discipline, it’s judgment. But then similar to alchemy, there’s a third aspect where you have a middle pillar, which brings balance of mercy and severity and harmonizes both sides, and it this represents integration and equilibrium. So, yeah, just to briefly recap, you know, Hinduism is Shakti and Shiva, but there’s no way I don’t think there’s any word for, you know, the combining of these forces.

And the same for dowsing, you get yin and yang. But there’s no way for the sort of union of this. But Kabbalah have that. You know? And then alchemy has that.

They’re they’re curious. They’re weird androgynous alchemical child. Anyway so, yeah, just just interesting how you contrast in these different traditions. Gnosticism. In gnosticism, when they’re feminine and masculine, they’re essentially complementary forces.

When they’re both in balance, it creates divine order. For for the feminine side of gnosticism, it’s Sofia, which is divine, it’s wisdom, it’s creativity. Sofia creates the material world, and Sofia is actually representative of the soul’s journey. It’s like falling of of the soul and then redemption, descent, and then actually then going through that journey, that alchemical journey where you’re turning from lead into gold, and you’re going back to the divine in a way. So the is very different to some of the energies you’ve spoken about before in terms of the feminine aspect, in terms of what it does.

And it it’s like connecting feminine aspects for spiritual awakening. So it’s got a very, very specific role and basically creates a bridge or is it acts as a mediator to the masculine energy, which is, seen as transcending. You know, it’s that’s part of the divine. I’m not to say that Sophie isn’t, but it’s like it’s like the action. It’s the journey which allows you to connect yourself to the masculine divine energy.

So, yes, it’s a very, very different interpretation to many other spiritual, dualities that you have masculine or as it’s described as logos, It’s a very loose term, but this represents transcendence. This is the unreachable hidden aspects of the divine. It’s termed as the supreme godhead or Christ. These are the qualities that inhabits and also includes things actions like speech and initiation. So the masculine energy within narcissism is is is very, yeah, I guess it very kind of fits within mainstream Christianity because God’s always perceived as being a very masculine figure.

So this is the energy, the divine. And Sophia acts to help the individual, the human, to bridge that gap and to go through that journey from from through redemption, you know, pulling yourself from the bottom where you’ve just lost yourself in materialism, and you have then having to work your way back to spirituality, work your way back to the divine nature of the godhead. So that’s my very, very brief, look through some of these spiritual traditions and religious traditions. Again, fascinating. I just always thought this exploration, some of these energies would be more standardized, and and there would be, you know, a lot of these additions would be talking about the same thing, but actually there’s quite a lot of difference there.

And so, yeah, I think we can probably draw upon some of these ideas, you know, going forward and like, you know, what you wanna call masculine energy? What do you wanna call feminine energy? Like, what how do these energies operate? And you can probably, from all these different traditions, sort of create something new from it, potentially. But my opinion is very much heavily influenced, I would say, by the new age, and just general culture, Western Christianity.

You know, I’ve been brought up as Church of England, which is the sort of the national church of The United Kingdom. Obviously, prince John or prince Charles, but king Charles is the head of that church, apparently, although I don’t think he’s very Christian in any way, shape, or form. But, yeah, I mean, it’s throughout my schooling from infant school, as we call it, junior school to, like, high school, secondary school. It was very much religious. There was there was prayers morning and sort of the evening, and then there was hymns as well, what we would call assembly.

So it was always there, and I always found incredibly boring. And I remember my mother at a time when I was younger, she went through a very religious phase, which is kind of back into that religious phase now. And I had to go to Sunday school, which I really, really hated. I remember I used to cry my eyes out. So, yeah, me and Christianity have always never gotten that well, but I just think it’s just the way that it’s always been, presented, particularly when you’re at school.

Because some of these hymns are just so boring. You’re like, dink is black. The page is white. It’s just yeah. The songs just aren’t catchy in any way shape or form.

It’s just not fun to sing. I remember when I went it was an evening in Brighton. They have this thing called the Brighton Festival. And, I got so one of my friends actually joined the it was, like, a what do they call it? Gospel choir, quite famous in Brighton.

And people anyone can join. They really know how to sing, but they’ll teach you how to sing sort of gospel songs and stuff. And and you don’t have to be particularly religious, but I remember someone I knew at the time, friend of the time, she was doing this pride and gospel choir, and it was part of the festival. And I went along, and, oh my god, it was so much fun. The singer was just amazing.

It was just genuine, genuine talent. And I kinda got it then. I was like, god, he had that because I just came out elated because at the end of the, you know, event, everyone’s dancing up, singing along, blah, blah, blah. And it’s just so much joy and so much energy. And even back then, I mean, obviously quite spiritual now and I’m sort of quite receptive to a lot of the Christian ideas, some of the Christian ideas.

But back then I was just like, I wasn’t atheist, but I was agnostic, and I didn’t really delve into religion or spirituality at all. But even I, at that point, was like, wow. I can kinda get the idea of church, especially the kind of the black gospel churches because that was so much fun. You just came out with so much energy, and it’s just on a real, real high. And then sort of contrast that to sort of Church of England, which is very, very not conservative, but it’s just not very exciting.

I mean, I may have sort of giving it a bad name because I actually, you know, I haven’t been to a proper church ceremony for a very long time. So maybe I should go along and actually see what I think as an adult. But, yeah, my whole Christian upbringing is very much being influenced by school, and I always find it very, very boring. But it’s fascinating. Now I’m reading a lot of books to do with Jesus.

You know, I’m a new phase of my research, just trying to figure out who this character was because, like I mentioned before, my spiritual beliefs would be completely shattered. I don’t think I’m becoming Christian, but I’m definitely exploring some of those ideas and, you know, just trying to figure out because, you know, like, the Bible was written so long ago and it’s been through so many edits. So I’m just interested to sort of try and get to the key information. And, you know, did these some of these individuals actually exist? Are there historical records?

Are there is there information out there to kind of, you know, garner? So yeah. Why am I talk why am I talking about this? There is a reason. I don’t know.

Anyway. Oh, yes. Feminine and masculine. I was just saying, you know, how much, the way I view these energies is very much been informed by that. You know, the idea of Jesus, the idea of Mary is very much ingrained in my head, I guess, through those years and years of schooling and of going to church, etcetera.

And, yeah, without a doubt, you know, I’ve sort of I wouldn’t call myself new age, but a lot of the ideas you sort of come across the Internet, that sort of YouTube and various websites and conferences I’ve been to. Yeah. I think people who are, like, into kind of new age ideas. A lot of the time would never say they’re into new age ideas. But, yeah, I I do.

Obviously, I’m I’m consuming a lot of new age content. So inform is my opinion. That’s what I’m saying about how I view these energies. And it’s just, I think, it’s a very good exploration to sort of look at some of these other spiritual traditions. I think it’s fascinating.

Ah, I thought I was done. I I there’s more. There’s more. I’m carrying on. There’s more.

I’ve written more notes. I didn’t realize. There’s Egyptian mysticism. I didn’t I didn’t talk about this. There’s Isis and there’s Osiris, and these are both gods in their own right.

So this is fascinating. So they’re not like in Daoism, they’re just abstract energies. But with the Egyptian mysticism, these are individuals that inhabit these energies, these archetypes, these energy principles. And, yeah, apparently, these these gods, Isis and Osiris, for the male, so Osiris, which is the god of fertility, regeneration, also represents the afterlife. He’s the king.

He’s the judge of the dead, and also has powers to resurrect resurrect people as well. It has a very active role. It’s a creative force, but also brings order and structure as well. So that kind of protect your aspect to Osiris. And then, over to Isis, which is the founding principle, and this is the goddess of magic.

And this is healing and motherhood and protection. She’s a powerful source. She’s apparently very receptive energy, very nurturing, intuitive, full of wisdom, and very restorative as well, and heals and protects and helps in creating life. Apart excuse me. A big part of their story, Osiris died and Isis, it threw her mourning, is able to restore and heal him back to life.

And it’s through their union. This is very, very powerful love story. So, again, there’s a kind of a whole poetry between how these energies play out and gain union, how they interplay between each other. Their partner partnership creates necessity for both energies. It creates cosmic balance.

And the apparently, the cosmic order that is created is called MAT, m a, double t, and sorry. M, double a, t. And their partnership is a necessity for these both energies to be in balance. So it brings about spiritual renew renew, and it’s it’s the whole cycle of life and death through the Isis and Osiris energies. Moving on to closer to where we are now, we have Wicca, which is similar to Egyptian mysticism, where you have actually a belief in two deities.

I think Wicca is one of those sort of traditions that’s very open ended with with sort of belief systems. And I think depending on who you’re talking to, they’ll probably have a slightly different take. But this is what I found anyway. So you may agree. You may not agree if you’re into Wicca.

But, yeah, two deities in Wicca is the god and goddess, and they both have equal power. But the feminine pre principle is, again, like, a lot of the things we’ve been exploring, the feminine energy feels way more complex and manifests in three energies in the feminine, which is the triple goddess. You have the maiden, which is representative youth and creation. Then you have the mother archetype, which is fertility and nurture. And then you have the crones.

This is the older woman, and she had lots of wisdom, and she obviously represents sort of endings. So, you know, within that goddess feminine energy, you have these three three kind of very, very important archetypes at the same time. So within the triple goddess female energy, you have it represents the moon. Big, big moon celestial body in the sky, which you can see we can see it at the moment, actually. You know, it’s weird when you it’s kind of broad daylight, and then you see sort of the moon there.

These last few days, it’s been like that. I think it’s like a full moon in Cancer, which is my sign at the moment. So this is hopefully, that’s why I think my life’s turning around for the positive because of the astrological events that are going along at the moment. But the moon is very feminine, and affects women very deeply, particularly, obviously, within menstruation. I know mainstream science never wants to admit that.

They wanted to completely sever, some of the, bodily functions that happen, particularly in women. They did want to sever that connection to the moon. But, yeah, obviously, the moon is perceived as being feminine. And then the Earth, if you have mother nature. So, yeah, feminine principle again.

The sea sea is also seen as feminine within Wicca. But, yeah, that’s quite interesting. We have the the triple goddess of the maiden, and then the mother and the crone. But, yeah, within these, representative, like, the physical objects, you have the moon, the earth, and the sea. You know, it’s another kinda triple aspect to that energy.

I don’t know if that that’s the way I wrote it down or what, but yeah. There you go. But I think, yeah, again, within this system, are many shades in this system. Again, I think it’s a really broad church, and I think depending on the practitioner of this, you know, Wicca, I think, is probably gonna be treated slightly differently depending on who you talk to. But the masculine is represented as the god or the horned god and associated with forests and animals and hunting and nature in general.

And in terms of, like, celestial body bodies, you have the sun seen as being a very masculine, celestial body, and then cycles. And, again, nature is these are all masculine concepts, basically. But within Wicca, like all of them, balance is is seen as fundamental. You can’t have feminine without the masculine. They both have to be there.

Wicca’s an interesting one because I think, like I said, it’s probably a lot of freedom of expression the way you practice it. So, yeah, it’s a lot of flexibility because some of these other traditions, obviously, it’s very set. Not all of them. I guess there’s there’s always gonna be slight variation, but they have very, very defined kind of method methodologies about how they approach things. But it seems like Wicca’s a bit more flexible with the way the way they operate.

Now if I can pronounce it, Sufism. That’s the right, ain’t it? Nailed it. Yeah. This is perceived as being the softer, you know, more magical, mystical version of Islam.

I know Islam at the moment, again, it’s certain sections, political sections, got very there’s a lot of negativity sort of drawn towards Islam, but I think it’s like Christianity. It’s like all these religions. I think there’s kind of, different shades of it, and there’s there’s there are moderate, some of them are very softer people, and there are crazy people. And, unfortunately, sometimes the craziest side of people, they tend to get more airtime, particularly in the news. But I know in certain sections of media and certain sections of society, Islam has been quite sort of not great on the feminine as a whole.

You know, particularly if you’re going to countries like Afghanistan, where it’s like it’s really just quite horrific for for women. And then, weirdly, I think, because a lot of these things, I think it’s called the particular very extreme form of Islam, and it gets this all gets a bit conspiratorial, but the idea that some of these three letter agencies like MI six and the CIA purposely wanted it to spread the more extreme versions of Islam from Saudi Arabia, Congo’s called now. It’s got a particular name. And it sort of really just it was done on purpose, essentially, to sort of create an enemy to create, like, a force that just creates chaos because that’s what they like to do. They like to create chaos, where there are a lot softer versions of Islam out there where women treat her a lot better.

Anyway, back to Sufism. But, yeah, within their, tradition, they have Jamal and Jalal. Hope I’m saying it correctly, but, again, like all of them, they create balance. You need both the energies present to create balance. And in fact, if you don’t have that balance, then you don’t have the connection to God, apparently.

So, yeah, this is, again, fundamental. It’s not explicit, but Jamal is loosely seen as a feminine energy and represents things like beauty and gentleness and grace and compassion. It is definitely seen as the the the the more loving side of god, the more softer side of of their deity. It embodies strong energies of kindness and forgiveness. So it’s kind of looking at the entity of god and sort of seeing the softer side, the feminine side of it, basically.

Then there’s jalal, which is more of the masculine, expression, which represents majesty, awe, power, might, and rigor, and and actually has fearsome aspects of god as well. It’s it represents divine justice and strength and transformation and shattering ego and humility. I got a sense that maybe there’s slightly more of a wrathful aspect to that energy, the masculine, compared to the other traditions, but I could be wrong. I mean, maybe it’s just the source where I got this information from, but, yeah, it’s just something of note, really. So that’s Sufism.

Right. Now moving on. I think this is, gave me a bigger aspect to this journey through the the religious traditions in terms of Christendom and Christianity. Like I mentioned, I’m doing a lot of biblical reading, not specifically like the Bible, but some of the characters particularly like Jesus at the moment, and how this all interlinks. It’s really fascinating, really out there information I’m gonna be talking about at some point, particularly in relation to King Arthur as well, about how some of these stories like interlink.

But, yeah, it’s I’ve just been really trying to understand these characters. I think it’s off the back of, these spiritual attacks because it’s like a lot of the clearing techniques that I was using before are all kind of tied up with certain things, and I just found they were compromised. I thought they were compromised. I don’t know if it is true or not because I’m still in this, like, I don’t know what’s going on sort of phase. But I started to I mean, my mom was praying on me at some point because the attacks are so bad because I was like, I don’t know what else to do.

And it’s something I’d never really, explored before, like, really having people using religious prayer over me. It’s not like I’m against it. It’s just never been part of my, you know, toolbox of spiritual protection modes. But I just I didn’t really have any other choice. I didn’t I didn’t know how to end what was going on.

So, yeah, I think this is why it’s kicked off a slight sort of biblical period of research and understanding. But, yeah, Jesus is a big character. It looms large, you know, particularly in the West. Even if you’re atheist, it’s it really shapes our morality, which I was for might find quite interesting. It’s a lot of the religious, traditions in The United Kingdom and another Western country.

Our morality is very much based on Christianity without a doubt. But I did start to prefer using the word yeshu as opposed to to Jesus, so that’s something I started doing. But Jesus is a really interesting one because it’s a strong archetype. I mean, even in the new age, you know, people don’t really go to church or they don’t, you know, read the Bible, but Jesus looms very large, a very strong force to help with clearing, you know, negative entities, and people use his name all the time. And he’s interesting character because he’s like a divine masculine and feminine all in one, which is very different to the other ones and actually sort of points towards being more of an androgynous character.

This is, like, sort of mainstream Christianity, you know, has masculine traits where, you know, there’s that famous story where there’s a kind of the market traders in the temple, and he’s probably angry casting out, you know, for doing, you know, Babylonian sort of money magic and and all the rest of it. But so he has that very masculine sort of, you know, takes no shit sort of side. But there’s also majority of the stories of Jesus is very nurturing. It’s very sacrificing energy. He’s a spiritual mother.

He gets sacrificed on the cross for people’s sins. So, yeah, it’s a very nurturing energy for the rest of humanity. So he’s a very interesting character, the mainstream aspect of Jesus anyway, because it has the both of the masculine and the feminine in a way. I think it’s because that he is perceived, you know, within Christians as being like a real person. You know, a lot of things like Taoism is not represented by any particular individual, but even like in Hinduism, Shakti and Shiva, they’re gods.

They’re not, like, real people. So maybe that’s why he’s perceived as being real human. So, obviously, the real human is gonna have those two energies. He’s gonna have masculine. He’s gonna have feminine.

So that’s the way he’s he’s represented. But, yeah, this crazy book that I’m reading at the moment, this these are some quite controversial ideas. And he’s the I think he’s named Ralph Ellis, I think his name is. But, yeah, he sort of writes in this book. I haven’t read got to this part in the book, but I was listening to some of the interviews where he’s talking about this particular book that I’m reading.

And so I’ve only heard him speak about this in some of the videos when he’s been interviewed. But, yeah, Jesus, you know, being part of the priest class and actually not coming from that, you know, Bethlehem and that kind of area of Israel, not really coming from there, and he was placing it more in places like Syria and other places. I think there’s, like, repeated Jesus like characters that popped up in historical records and all the rest of it. But, apparently, when you’re spiritual and you’re part of the, the priest class, you castrated yourself. This is seen as being a very, spiritual thing to do.

So, again, that kinda ties into the idea of this androgynous character, you know, because he’s not a man. He’s not a woman because he obviously kinda cut his his his meat and two veg off as as we say in The UK. And there’s that thing called I mean, I don’t know a huge amount about it, but he’s he’s called the wounded king because, obviously, there’s a connotation with crucifixion. He actually, points towards that more to do the fact that he castrated himself. Again, really, really controversial ideas.

Not saying it’s true, but, yeah, it’s just fascinating what this guy sort of dug up because he goes through some of, like, really, really old do you call it, like, scripts, historical scripts, and looks at very, very ancient historians as well. So he he tries to go right back and tries to find I think he even does proper India Indiana Jones stuff and travels to various countries and tries to do his research that way as well. So he does a lot of very in-depth research, and he’s not beholden to any particular tradition. He’s just basically just trying to find the truth. But, yeah, well, another fascinating thing about Christianity is the fact that there’s no romantic relationship involved.

Like, if you go to, like, Egyptian mysticism, you have Isis and Osiris, you know, they’re seen as gods and they have a love affair. And it’s through that love of the union that kind of creates balance. Again, that doesn’t really happen in mainstream Christianity I’m talking about. And, you know, the the sort of masculine principle maybe was seen in Jesus, but the the uber kind of, divine feminine is mother Mary. So they’re not even in a romantic relationship.

It’s a mother and son sort of dynamic. So, again, that’s, you know, these energies, that’s how it’s described within kind of traditional Western Christianity. But mother Mary, as you will be aware, is, like, very much deeply nurturing, merciful, all of these traits, everything you’d expect. So, again, Christianity is very, very unique when you compare to other spiritual traditions where Jesus is the son of God. So there is that connection to the real world with God as through Jesus, and then Mary is then basically, like, the conduit to allow Jesus to exist on this earth.

You know? So it’s an interesting dynamic when you actually look at it at the bare bones of some of the aspects. And it’s, like, very, very different to the all the other spiritual traditions, what they’re talking about. But I guess some of the more esoteric or new age, like decoding of Jesus and his life, I leaned more towards the idea of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. I mean, I don’t know if his character actually really read deeply on this individual.

This is what I’m doing now. I’m trying to understand. But this seems a bit more based in reality for me, where Jesus and Mary Magdalene so Jesus was the, male aspect and then, Mary Magdalene was the female aspect. And they’re actually in a romantic relationship. They were in union.

They were sort of from using new age parlance. They were twin flames in a particular way, I guess. Yeah, I definitely lean more towards that idea just because it makes more sense and it makes sense why, you know, the traditional church called Mary Magdalene, an apostitute, you know, because they really sort of degraded the idea of feminine energy in a way. And it just feels like a more of a balanced approach when you’re giving Jesus a Mary Magdalene, you know, more of a level pegging, more of a level like skin in the game in terms of like what they represent, you know, how they represent God and how they represent God’s love is through their love. And now you can go deeper on this, and I think I have spoken about in a previous podcast, but the idea of actually Mary Magdalene being more important than Jesus.

So, yeah, I mean, because a lot of these additions, not all of them, but some of them, I guess, from a new age perspective, you always, like, link divine energy and God energy may be coming through the feminine more. And, again, I talked about this a lot, but it just seems like particularly within the West, you know, all this yoga and meditation classes and like, all of these things that I’ve been through over the years. It’s just, like, 80% women, and the teachers are majority of them are women. So it’s very much spiritual revival that’s happening on Earth is very much being led by women, in my opinion, in my experience. So, yeah, they just seem to have more intuitive psychic energy for some reason.

Again, in my experience, I could be wrong. You can have a different experience. It’s just what I’m perceiving is what I’m experiencing. So, yeah, for me, it just feels like the feminine energy is more connected to sort of divine. I mean, I don’t even know what God is.

I mean, if I’m being honest, this is another aspect. You know, really, what is God? I don’t know. I know I feel into the word of God. It’s nothing to me, But it kinda makes sense.

Maybe we’re all aspects of God, but what is that? You know? I don’t know. So these are big questions I’m tackling at the moment. I’m getting off topic.

But yes. Anyway, center. Let’s get back on topic. But I think, yeah, the the dynamic of Jesus and Mary Magdalene is probably open to interpretation, but Jesus maybe is seen as like the logos in terms of narcissism. He’s the word.

He’s the divine. He’s reason. He’s active movement. Whereas Mary Magdalene may be linked to more Sophia’s or divine wisdom and ability to create life and create spiritual realities. Yeah.

It’s funny because I because since I’ve been reading these books, I just started to get loads of synchronicities. You know, reality starts to kind of reflect back at you. And for some reason, I started watching, I was, like, looking, you know, scrolling, thinking of a film to watch. And I came across that Dan Brown film. What’s that called?

The Da Vinci Code. I had did say years ago, but I forgot what it’s about. And that was all about the controversial writing. It’s controversial, but the topic of Mary Magdalene and actually Jesus having a family and then so having a lineage. And actually, there might be humans around at the moment that are kind of part of that, Jesus bloodline.

So that’s all what the Da Vinci Code is all about. And I’d forgotten that. And Terry is just quite fascinating. Yeah. I was just I was drawn to watch this film, basically, just kind of worked in harmony what I’ve been reading recently.

And, overall, I mean, a lot of the research I’ve been doing, Mary Madeline has been coming up a lot. And even, like, where my family have a holiday home on the Isle Of Mull that much my dad built when he was a student, he was a hippie. And there’s a church in the village there. I forgot what it’s called, but it’s got, like, an Irish style, like a pencil tower. And in that church, there’s a stained glass window that looks like Jesus is Mary Magdalene.

So there’s a lot of stories, quite esoteric stories to do with Iona because Iona supposedly is where Christianity sort of first came into United Kingdom, and then the iron is kind of linked to the Isle Of Mull. And so I spent, you know, many, many childhood and years after on the Isle Of Mull. So it’s just fascinating that Mary Madeline stories are part of that island as well. So this is I’m just interlinking with Mary Madeline quite a lot at the moment. So, yes, just some of the synchronicities are going on in my life.

So that’s my long rambling talk about Christianity and feminine masculine energies. And again, it’s very, very subjective. But yes. Anyway so now I’m going to go into very dangerous, dangerous waters. Gonna talk about gender.

Yeah. I could get myself canceled. Don’t think I have enough people watching or listening to this podcast that get canceled, but I’m gonna try. Obviously, it’s a big hot topic, and there’s off the back of a recent in The UK, we have a thing called which I think we copied The United States and created a Supreme Court, and they had a recent thing where they actually, by law, legally defined, you know, woman and men. And I think this whole thing is really a big distraction.

All of this stuff is sort of divide and conquer. And there’s some aspects that I have an opinion on, but just the heat and just the noise created around it, it’s just there’s so much bigger things kinda going on, I think. And it’s just all done to sort of create division, in my opinion, my humble opinion. And it’s just all about, you know, heightening physical attributes, whether you’re arguing about race or whether you’re arguing about gender or physical differences. I mean, like, I mean, I I’m very much of the opinion.

We have a soul and probably had loads different lifetimes and probably been a woman or been a man or even been a black person, but maybe even a Chinese person, maybe even a a green man on a different planet or a different dimension. I don’t know. It doesn’t really matter. He’s this kind of obsession with physical differences. It’s just really tiring to listen to sometimes how people identify so hard with it.

You know, for me, like, whether you’re black or whether you’re Indian or whether you’re a woman, this is just these are just like casual physical attributes, but, you know, so many people have got their knickers in a twist at the moment about and they’re just identifying so hard with a physical shell. And the media sort of played into it. It’s conflating the whole thing. And, again, I just think it’s done on purpose. And overall in the mainstream, even just within, so I guess, like, general spiritual communities, there’s always the talk about the rise of the feminine and living in the patriot patriarchal society.

And I guess to a certain degree, that that is correct. But I would argue, actually, I think we need healing on rising of both sides of genuine feminine, genuine masculine. I think when you’ve got this sort of feminine attacking the masculine for being toxic and dangerous, which is what is happening at the moment, I think that doesn’t help because it’s sort of you’re creating another imbalance on the other side in a way. And I just think we should be both nice towards each other. You know, the masculine should be nice to the feminine, and the feminine should be nice to the masculine.

So I think it’s a rising of both of these energies. And but, yeah, without a doubt, we’ve lived in a more patriotic society. And, you know, it’s hard to get away from, isn’t it? Because even just going to work right in offices is very patriarchal structure. You’re earning money is all very, very patriarchal, sort of masculine actions in a way.

So there is definitely a shift that needs to be, you know, more nurturing towards people. So you’re not working eight, nine hours a day. You know, how many hours a week? You know, this obsession with, like, earning money in the materialism, I guess. Yeah.

You could argue they’re all kind of masculine things. So yeah. Yeah. It’s complex. But, yeah, I just think there is a real need to understand understand what really is the divine feminine, what really is the divine masculine, I think, like, within myself and I think, generally, society as a whole, I think we’re figuring it out just gradually.

We’re sort of piecing it together. So if the world is still here in ten years, I have no idea. I’ve got my thoughts maybe. I don’t know. Things are gonna get a bit fruity these next few years, and I don’t know.

Will we still be here next year? I don’t know. I don’t know. Not in a fearful way, but just think sometimes there are some big shifts and there are changes sort of coming. But, yeah, what really does the fully embodied feminine or masculine look like?

What does it feel like? But at the moment, everything is sort of very heavily influenced by culture, and culture is yeah. Some a lot of the culture is not great. And, again, a lot of these feminine masculine archetypes are heavily influenced by our parents and then their parents. And, obviously, the templates were not great.

You know, particularly, I remember growing up, there was a lot of problems in in my family because, you know, everyone’s trying to afford to live on. They’re trying to afford to pay the mortgage and then pay bills. And then among that, you’ve got kids. I mean, it’s a lot to sort of deal with. And again, I would argue that sort of done on purpose and to sort of make life as difficult as possible.

So everyone’s just running around like chickens, just not knowing they don’t have time to nurture themselves and to sort of think about life around them and spiritual matters. And yeah. Yeah. So it’s all kind of done on purpose in a way. But I think we have a unique opportunity where, you know, the consciousness is rising.

We’re aware of all these things. We’re aware that we lived in an unhealed society. We’re aware that our parents didn’t have the proper templates to bring us up and vice versa. Now we’re still struggling with handheld traumas and unhealed aspects that, you know, happen through particular lineages, but also just collectively as well. But we’re all aware of this, and there are techniques out there to sort of hopefully heal these things.

So I think now more than ever, we’re in a really good position to hopefully, you know, make big changes in society. I think it’s true if if people do sort of look to healing themselves, it’s gonna reverberate out even if it’s feels like a really small drop in upon, you know, that ripples is gonna ripple out, and it’s gonna affect everything. So that’s my personal decoding and take on society and, you know, the treating of men and women and feminine masculine. I mean, it’s just a very brief few paragraphs that I’ve spoken about, really. But now I’m going to go to the very controversial bit.

I’m going to get to the trans stuff. It’s funny when people discuss this topic, they even like race or gender. Everyone, it always starts with, like, caveats. So it needs to enable them to be able to be qualified to talk about that, which is what I’m gonna do now. Some of my best friends are trans, which isn’t true.

But, you know, I will say I have a love and respect for everyone and, you know, whatever they want to do with their body, I think, is completely up to them, you know, as an adult, which is another sort of could be controversial aspect to this, which, you know, when it starts to kind of affect children without a doubt, if you’re an adult and you’re definitely dead set on sort of changing your gender through, you know, medicalization, taking particular drugs, or having operations, that is up to you, you know, without a doubt. But in terms of a a personal anecdote, I mean, I was brought up in Chester, which is like the Northwest of The United Kingdom. And back then so I was, you know, born in 1980. So I spent, you know, pretty much, well, all of the nineteen eighties in Chester all the way to 1999, which is when I then left to go to Brighton University. And I was never really in Chester back then.

It’s very white sort of culture. There was never I’d never saw any openly gay people walking around chest. It just does what and it’s a bit different now. The Chester College is expanded. It’s now Chester University.

There’s a lot more students, so it’s a bit more kind of, I don’t know, relax about those sort of things. But I think that’s the case for the whole world now, like, particularly United Kingdom. Things relax a lot. And, like, yeah, I remember at school without a doubt, one of the biggest insults you could give someone was, like, saying they were gay. So, yeah, without a doubt, there’s been a lot of growth and healing that’s kind of cured, I think, society, and that’s definitely been needed.

But, yeah, Brighton University, I didn’t know at the time, but Brighton is I think it’s like they perceived as being the gay capital of Europe. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but definitely is a huge gay community there. It’s very artistic, very creative place to be. So, yeah, people have found sanctuary, I think, from all over the country moved to Brighton to feel that they can be openly gay there. And I always remember when I went down to, like, an open day in, ’99 to, you know, see if I wanted to go to Brighton University.

I think it was like the first time I got the train down there. I remember sort of stood in the station. I always remember this. It was, like, the first time I’d actually seen two men holding hands before. I’d never seen that due to factories don’t get that those kind of communities in Chester.

Or if they you do. Obviously, they’re kind of hidden away in particular pubs and all the rest of it. But it’s one of these sort of things. It’s a curiosity. I’d never really come across.

I wasn’t like I’d hate person doing that. I was just, alright. I just I noticed it because I’d never seen it before. But, yeah, when I was at university, they’re like a large part of my social group were gay or lesbian. I mean, I went clubbing to loads of gay clubs.

I live with, like, quite a few gay people at one particular point. So it was very much part of my whole student sort of life was sort of gay culture in a way. And it was always really annoying because not in a bad way, but, like, gay men always be like to me. And I always remember thinking, guys, so easy with a guy, but, like, I remember really struggling with girls back then. And, yeah, I was just like, why can’t it be as easy with these guys who like me with these girls who I actually like?

You know, I definitely got better with women as the years progressed, as you get more experience as you do. But, you know, when I was university, I was I was terrible. I was really bad. Anyway. Yes.

So where was I? I got lost in the weeds. So, yeah. Yeah. So I was aware of there were sort of various trans people in various friendship groups I was with at that time.

And I could see it was a very even being in Brighton, which is very, very open to that sort of thing, it still wasn’t an easy path to take. So, yeah, it was kudos to them If they wanted to go that route, it’s still I still aware that I’m receiving, you know, verbal and physical abuse and stuff, which isn’t great. So, yeah, there’s a lot of bravery at that point in time taking that path. So I think, you know, looking back, there was definitely some readjustment needed to happen in society to if people wanted to do that, then, okay, that’s that’s to make them happy, fine. Cool.

You you can go go that route. That’s not a problem. But what’s funny, even The United Kingdom, we have this thing called pantomimes, which happened at the theater. They tend to occur over a Christmas period. This is interlinked.

Don’t worry. Just stick with me. This is kind of in contrast to The UK sort of culture, and maybe someone from The United States or Canada might be slightly different. But anyway, these pantomimes, they happen in theater, and they tend to be, you know, family orientated theater and involve stories like Jack and the Beanstalk or Cinderella. But in these pantomimes, you have a dame, which is usually played by sort of very camp gay man, and we have sort of various, like, actors who are well known for who are generally gay.

They’re very well known for playing pantomime dame. So it’s very, like, intrinsic to this, like, comedy theater that even children watch. You know? Like, it’s it’s it’s seen as, like, family entertainment. So it could be could be quite jarring to American ears, maybe.

I don’t know. But it’s not in a sexual way. It’s just seen as a funny thing. It’s like, oh, yeah. Because usually, these sort of, the pantomime dame is like someone’s mother.

You know? So you could have, like, Jack. He would have his mother who’d be like a pantomime dame. And I think even, like, what’s that guy’s name from? Lord of the Rings.

Ian McKellen. He still does pantomime now, and he’s like a a Dame. And, obviously, he’s like a multimillionaire film star. He’s done, like, Lord of the Rings and loads of Marvel stuff. So he’s not short of cash, but he just likes the culture of pantomimes.

I know my parents went to see him. I think it was maybe a year ago, two years ago, is a theater in Salford, which is near Manchester, and he was playing in the pantomime there. So, yeah, it’s quite a big part of culture that in The United Kingdom to have these kind of cross dressing men, essentially. But even I was thinking these are comedian. He’s dead now.

Paul O’Grady sort of became became quite a famous sort of daytime television individual. But before that, he had, like, a drag character called Lily Savage. Again, it wasn’t sexual. Everyone knew it was a man dressed as a woman, but this is like prime time Friday night television or Saturday night television. So it was very much family based, so it wasn’t sexual.

So just what all I’m trying to say is that there’s a big difference, I think, with it even in Western cultures, how, sort of men dressing as women. I mean, again, this is more for entertainment. So, yeah, obviously, when they sort of take off the costume, they’re just they’re they’re they’re wearing the clothes of a man a lot the time. But I’m just sort of looking at some of these archetypes, I guess. And then also, like, entertainment, I’ve been to drag shows.

I mean, I remember I did part of my university degree in Australia, and I was sort of after I finished, I went traveling on the East Coast Australia. I was in Sydney. We went to a drag show there, and it was really good. You know, they were doing songs, and it wasn’t sexualized at all. It’s just really, really talented individuals, like, put on performance.

And, again, relating back to Brighton and Brighton Festival, which happens in May time, which is on right about now, actually, as I record this, is that they’re probably in there now. It’s called the Lady Boys of Bangkok. So it’s a lady boys from Bangkok. And this is, again, I think, yeah, you could say you could take your family there. There’s no, like, nudity in there.

I mean, the women or, yeah, they the men who are like women are very, very convincing. They look like attractive women. I think obviously because sort of Thai individual, they got quite soft skin anyway. So, yeah, they kind of if they do want to look like a woman, it’s it’s a lot more natural for them. And but, yeah, I I remember when my parents are visiting, I saw that we took them to go and see the lady boys of Bangkok.

So yeah. And they loved it. It was it was a great entertaining experience. I think there is another side. I think it’s definitely happened in United States where, they’re sort of specifically was it called drag time story hour?

And I know not all of them are like this, but I’ve definitely seen videos online where it’s quite highly sexualized to the point of being like a striptease thing. And you got kind of kids there, and I’m like, that’s a bit odd. But, again, it’s one of those sort of divide and conquer things because that event sort of happens. You know, you don’t know who’s funding it, and then it’s just blown up on the Internet. And then it’s like one event involving a few people.

And then obviously, video goes all over the world and it’s it creates outrage. And it’s all political left against right. And it’s it’s again quite a small subsection of society, but it just creates all of this division. It creates all of this like anger, blah, blah, blah. And again, I just think it’s done on purpose a lot of the time.

But it’s even like the debate of it as well. Like, you can’t say anything about people blowing up and sort of calling you far right or a Nazi. And, you know, some of these titles now are just so ridiculous that the way people, if there’s a slight variation in the political narrative, then you’re immediately like a complete Nazi or right wing. And I think it’s like a lot of the time it’s the media sort of creating these stereotypes on both sides, you know, for everyone to rage against on each other. I think it’s a whole aspect to, you know obviously, what I’ve been talking about a lot is the stagecraft of entertainment of, like, men dressing as women for entertainment.

It’d be like a Saturday night thing of a fight. They’re not constantly sort of living it, but there’s a whole thing now where it’s the whole process is being very much medicalized. And this is what kind of, you know, makes me wince, particularly when you’re talking about teenagers taking puberty blockers. And a lot of the time, some of the effects just aren’t reversible, and they’re being sold like a lie. You know?

So, oh, you feel depressed because you feel like you’re in the wrong body. You should take these puberty blockers and then basically transition and start having these operations. And that, I think, is really quite dangerous, actually, just because, you know, you’re young. You don’t know who you are. Everyone struggles with, you know, some of the thoughts in their heads.

But if you’re making decisions which are irreversible when you’re so young, I mean, it’s yeah. I mean, I think it’s I mean, it’s being pushed. I mean, this is a lot more of an American thing as well just because the medical system is so crazy out there. And this is another aspect because, obviously, it’s a customer for life because you’re taking puberty blockers, and then you’re maybe taking testosterone or hormone treatments, then you’re taking that for life. And then some of these operations are particularly expensive.

So, yeah, it’s all about getting them through that medical pipeline. And then it’s just it creates the medical energy, creates a lot of money, creates a lot of revenue. So I think there’s another aspect to why it’s being pushed so hard. But, again, that’s probably more of American centric rather than United Kingdom because I know a lot of things have been stopped here. Like, you can’t get PVC blockers for, like, you know, teenagers now.

That’s just not not gonna happen. I think because of my own experience being at Brighton University and people really were experimenting with their sexuality, because it was seemed quite you know, it was quite cool. Like, oh, you know, I remember a friend of mine who was, like, I’m bisexual. You know? It just makes you seem, like, mysterious when he didn’t really ever kiss a guy.

I think there was one time he did, but he was very, very, like, drunk. So there was a sort of kind of strange allure and coolness to it. And I knew there were people there was a guy I live with, and he was, like, by all intents and purposes, like, was living as a gay man, but now he’s married to a woman with kids. And this is what I mean. People change.

You know? They sort of may not grow out of it, but maybe they just, will experiment and realize, no. Actually, I’m more happy this way. And I think if you’re medicalizing people and then also having operations and you’re sort of, you know, let’s be honest, you’re taking bits of their bodies off. That’s very final, and there’s no going back from that.

So that just makes me worry just because of my own experience of people sort of changing their sexuality at university. Now that a lot of them are sort of certain one particular thing, like, you know, and they want, you know, a few girls who are now gay and have very, very happy relationships with their partners and now have have kids and all the rest of it. And yes. I think it’s it’s it’s a tricky one. It’s tricky.

I think these decisions, if you did want to, like, medically transition, need to be made as an adult when you’re fully informed of all the dangers, and there are a lot of dangers. There’s a lot of things that can go wrong. I think all you hear is the positive aspects of it. And, yeah, I think that’s bad because it’s not all positive all the time. It’s not necessarily going to make you feel complete by transitioning to a different sex.

It might not solve your mental health problems. But, I mean, it is a controversial thought, but I think you need to bring in traumas to do with this as well. You know, how much the traumas like family traumas or epigenetic? Sorry. I can’t say epigenetics affect this.

And it is controversial, but I think there is an aspect to this potentially, you know, how it can kind of I mean, there’s that sort of Netflix series. Is it baby reindeer? He’s a comedian there, and he goes through a period of, of being sexually abused by a comedy writer. He sort of feeds him drugs. And, basically, after that experience, he sort of, I’m not saying mess with his sexuality, but he starts to kind of, through trauma, like, just have sex with anyone, not just because before he was exclusively just having sex with women, but he’d have sex with trans people or men.

So I think there is a debate, and it’s very controversial one, about trauma, how that plays into someone’s sexuality. I’m not saying that if you’re gay that you’re unhealed. I’m not, you know, but I think there is potentially an aspect of that with some people. And another quite, like, more spiritual aspect to that whole debate about sort of gender and, like, what you identify with is that I was at a conference last year with Andrea Folkes, and, she’s, like, known for past life regression and sort of inner child healing. And what she started talking about, the gender thing during the talk at this conference, and I thought it was really, really fast fascinating.

Because she was saying there’s a lot of beings coming through at the moment that she’s found because there are people coming to her that we’ve maybe got gender dysphoria with a way to sort of maybe help them integrate better into their body. And she was saying that some of the clients she’s seeing, they’re beings that are coming from, oh, I don’t know, other dimensions or planets or whatever where they don’t really have agenda. So they’re not identifying as male or female, which is why then they struggle when they come into the human form. It’s like, oh, no. I’m a man.

I’m a woman. I’m not used to this, and it sort of creates that dysphoria. So that’s another I mean, that’s never gonna be accepted by mainstream medical people. Is it really? But I think it’s a credible aspect to this whole conversation.

Is it like the reincarnation cycle that maybe you were being last time that you didn’t have a gender, which is why you’re struggling? Or, you know, you could have had a reincarnation as a woman last time you come in into a man’s body, and that’s, again, why you’re struggling, because you’re not you’re not used to being a man because your previous, you know, reincarnation, you’re a woman. And, again, this is another part of the debate as well. So and, again, like, if you have gender dysphoria, I this I think these things should be brought into the mix. You know?

That you should be, you know, be regressed and then figure out what your last reincarnation was, and then you can maybe find out why you’ve got gender dysphoria because you’re you’re not feeling confident in your body because, yeah, of x y zed. So, yeah, bit of a controversial rant. I think I’ve gone along. Yeah. I’ve oh, yeah.

I’ve gone a long time. But, yeah, I just thought it was I thought I wanted to add it to the whole, like, feminine masculine energies because it does really play into sort of gender, and gender is a big topic at the moment. And I wanna approach you with, like, love and respect and stuff. And, you know, I want everyone to be happy. And but, yeah, I do want to be able to freely discuss some of these ideas, and it is on my mind.

It’s quite cathartic for me to speak about it, Mike, as well. But, yeah, it is a big conversation. I think part of it is because it’s been in inflamed on purpose to create division because, you know, the people who think that the top, they think they control us. They don’t really, but they just create chaos through any means necessary and gender being part of that. And, obviously, I think they’ve got very pseudo strange religious spiritual views as well, and that sort of plays into it.

But I think, genuinely, I think, like all of these things where humanity is healing and part of that is trying to understand the feminine, understand the masculine. So coming up naturally as well. And it’s obviously like I’ve spoken about the reason why I’m doing this podcast because it’s really come up in these last few months because it’s like it’s part of the spiritual attacks I’ve had. It’s part of these twin flame stuff. It’s just, yeah, it’s just been a big part of my journey, and so I wanted to talk about it.

It’s a bit of departure from what I usually talk about. Usually, I talk about more concepts to, like, Earth energies or, you know, high strangeness and paranormal. And so I guess it’s a bit more spiritual than usual. But, again, it’s more of a cathartic exercise for me, and I think it’s been part of my shadow, and I think it’s part of the collective shadow as well. So it’s been helpful for me.

So there you go. It’s been part of my healing process. I think I’m gonna end it there. I don’t think I’m gonna conclude much more than that. Food for thought.

Thank you so much for joining me. Hopefully, now I’m gonna be creating a bit more content. Let’s hope fingers crossed. Touch wood. But, yeah, you can obviously catch this podcast in all major podcast platforms if you wanna, listen to it on any video streaming services on YouTube, rumble, bitch, shoot.

I have a website, reconsidersimon.com. So, yeah, I’ll catch you in the next one. I am gonna try and start interviewing at some point. So, but, yeah, I’m gonna try and do more videos out in the field if I can and then interview. I I know I keep saying that, but that is definitely the the business that’s the sort of direction I’m pushing myself in.

Anyway, it has been amazing. This is podcast number 21, feminine and masculine. Yeah. So hope you enjoyed it, and I will yeah. I’ll I will I don’t know what I’m gonna do.

I’m just gonna go now, and I’m gonna say thank you. And, yeah, good night, good morning, good afternoon, wherever you in the world are in the world. Take care. Bye bye.
