Hi Siouyma,

Wow, that is a sobering story. But I'm sure one that happens to many women - handing power over to a strong masculine figure - especially if it's an "alpha male configuration". I'm currently writing about how we can all gain, male and female, from an understanding of the Sigma male archetype.

I could see where I was lost. I was inspired by the strong will power of this masculine character and somehow felt to own it because I haven't seen that in myself completely.

That's the point exactly - we see something outside of ourselves that completes something we haven't yet actualised on the inside. It's fine to get the external reflection (from a strong masculine for example). However, we must always work to seek and embody our own reflection of that resonance within. As you know, that's something we're constantly expressing in the Openhand work - inviting people to see the extrenal reflection, but embody it within themselves.

It's exactly the same dynamic that's necessary regarding the other polarity - the empathic sensitivity of the divine feminine. Because in the "Goddess" configuration, the empathic information that becomes available is so markworthy and outstanding, there's a tendency for a less sensitive male, to simply take the prognoses as "truth", especially if expressed in that manner. Speaking from experience, it actually retards the masculine being from fully opening their own empathic sensitivity.

Dynamics for us all to be vigilant of!
