Hi Jan,

It's a wonderful and powerful sharing. Thanks so much. I can feel my catalyst hackles rising at the thought of it.

I want to be clear aswell though, I'm not ONLY advocating surrender.

When there's complete surrender, there's an opening out. And in that, a deep connection can happen all the way back to the source; and from there, "Right Action will happen". It will flow through you.

To my mind, this guy needed to be confronted about his actions. But I know just how tough that can be - the incredulity at such ignorance can make one freeze with nothing to say. And I believe this has been one of the big challenges for the divine feminine - the incredulity at the oppression is so strong, there's a feeling of "what on earth can I do?"

Of course, in the 'olden days', between ray 1 males, where there was strong disagreement, it would usually have resulted in some 'arm-wrestle-fight'. Fortunately in social circles humanity has advanced beyond that. What often happens now, is a tustle on the plane of the intellect.

But here's an opening for the divine feminine and a strong opportunity.

You can engage on the plane of the intellect (which has been quite owned by the distorted divine masculine), but do so with a question - one which takes the protagonist into 'his' (I'm assuming it's a 'he') feelings.

So it might be... "Put yourself in the place of the tiger for a moment. Imagine you were being hunted and shot. How do think you might feel?"

Of course many would initially laugh it off. But if you get the right question, it will work into their consciousness and begin to cause them to question their own truth. Telling a distorted ray 1 that 'he's' wrong only makes him fight. Asking him a pertinent question about the consequences of his actions at a feeling level however, can make him unravel. In actual fact, I think it's the only positive thing that really can.

It has to be a question that empowers him to make his own choice... "is it right to influence a young woman whose not fully emotionally mature? What effect on her psyche do you think that would have?" (potentially in the Bowie case). By asking the question, you're empowering them to change, not disempowering by judging.

(This approach is actually a major part of the Openhand Facilitator Program.)

So here's the interesting part: to be truly affective, the divine feminine (anyone indeed) must use BOTH qualities to succeed - the feminine and the masculine. The ray 2 takes you into surrender. But the ray 1 will likely then come through (I could feel it in your words Jan) which impels action. What kind of action? Something that feels right - but potentially an empowering question of which I speak (which probably comes in on the ray 4 diplomat quality of the soul).

So there's much more than just surrender. We look for the warrior too, but applied in ways which are likely to bear fruit.

Just a thought!
