How Mother Nature Reflects Back Our Own Wounding

One of the things that the spiritual masters would say,

The ones I studied with,

Would say that there is a connection between what was going on with mother nature and what was going on inside human beings.

I think in a way we know this.

We'd say,

You know,

A writer would say it was a dark and stormy night and this would signal,

You know,

The weather would be used as a metaphor for the dark storminess going on within the people.

But in the West we'd say it was more our behaviors that were causing the trouble with mother nature.

But,

You know,

Where do these behaviors come from?

They might come from what's going on inside us.

So in that way the outer world,

The outer weather even,

Could be reflecting what's going on with us.

Meaning,

You know,

If we were more in touch with the depth of ourselves we might make different choices with how to treat mother nature.

We wouldn't want to pour poison down the drain.

You know,

The more enlightened a person becomes the less they can ever be cruel or hurt anyone.

No spiritual master can be cruel with intention.

It's just not possible.

So if we're looking at the outer circumstances of how mother nature is behaving maybe it needs to dawn on us about the importance of turning inside and seeing what's going on there.

Because,

You see,

I feel there's a real connection between what's going on with mother nature and what's going on inside women.

You know,

I've said this before,

Every woman is an Aboriginal in the sense that she gives birth.

So she bridges to what is beyond this physical life.

And even with her being,

You know,

Emotionally connected to her children so that a mom will often pick up information about her children that is beyond the visible.

She'll just know that,

You know,

If they're having a hard time even if they're grown up she'll just know.

So the feminine part of the human psyche is very expansive that way.

And truly within most little girls,

By the time they're eight,

They're really deep feminine energy.

The deepest connection to truth and mother nature is gone unconscious.

But she'll have felt that she cannot be met,

That there's something wrong with her and that she has to take on the ways of the family which will be conditioned by the society.

So even grown up moms who might feel,

You know,

Complete and intact,

They might be really asleep to their deeper feminine energy.

And so they can't meet their daughters there.

In fact,

Their daughters may disturb them just because they can rattle their defenses,

Rattle the defenses.

Yeah,

So you see it's really something to look at.

You know,

Vivekananda who was a yogi in the 1800s came over to the West and introduced yoga.

And he came before Yogananda who came later in the 20th century.

But Vivekananda said that every woman needs to weep.

And I remember reading this and thinking,

What's this,

You weep,

I don't want to weep,

I want to laugh.

But as the years went by,

I understood what he meant.

And it's if that deep connection to truth and to mother nature is disallowed inside a woman,

She's going to be dissatisfied.

And what will happen is when her feminine nature goes to sleep,

Say before eight,

Her male subconscious will come in to protect her.

Now,

The males are,

You know,

Energetically their duty is to protect.

And so this can make,

When a woman's run by her male energy,

This can make her feel defended,

Defensive.

And she can be argumentative.

And the thing is,

She'll walk around with a deep feeling of dissatisfaction,

She will have no idea how to heal.

You know,

And truly,

In my experience,

The therapist walking around with the same dissatisfaction.

In fact,

You know,

Unless you've had some kind of a spiritual awakening,

I can't see how this aspect would be awakened,

Woven into your personality.

But it's the source of all the meaning and fulfillment for a woman.

Now,

You know,

An awakened male can help.

But you know,

An awakened female can really help sort of remother a woman who's wanting to find her true feminine energy.

That's the best.

Most of us haven't been,

Most women in my experience walk around with kind of a deficit around their feeling of being mothered,

That they don't feel mothered fully,

Properly.

And really,

How could they be if the deeper feminine energy isn't allowed?

And I really do feel this is part of why we're in trouble with Mother Nature,

Because we're out of touch with the Mother Nature inside us.

And so we don't know how to treat her.

You know,

There was a guy,

I can't remember his name now,

Washington,

Something Washington anyway,

Washington Carver.

And he brought peanuts to the south.

The soil was depleted by the cotton.

And so he prayed,

He asked Mother Nature what she needed.

And she said,

You know,

Peanuts would grow.

So he grew peanuts,

And he brought back the economy.

I think this is part of our trouble with even trying to help Mother Nature is we're kind of clueless because we're so out of touch with our deeper understanding,

We don't even know what to do for her.

You know,

Unless we're someone like Washington Carver,

Who listened,

Who's,

You know,

Was really listening on his feminine side.

But the thing is,

You know,

With the boat,

When a woman has her,

Her deeper emotion,

Her deeper connection to her truth,

She,

She will really be fond of men.

You know,

A woman when a woman's wounded,

You know,

The males in her life can be threatening because they're always kind of walking on her garden.

They're always walking on her wounding.

And she doesn't,

You know,

She doesn't know this,

They don't know this.

But it can cause trauma in a family.

You know,

When we really have our true feminine nature,

We're conscious,

And she's woven into our personalities and our relationships can be very fulfilling.

And you know,

Men feel really safe around us because we're,

We're in our feminine and we don't have,

We're not defensive.

We've got nothing to prove.

Mother and father God are madly in love with each other.

You know,

Male and female energy are,

We're meant to cooperate,

To get together,

To unite,

Cooperate.

You know,

If a woman decides that she really wants her true nature,

She can have it.

It's just,

It could be a bit lonely at the beginning.

You because your psyche,

If you,

If you tell the universe that you really want to heal your feminine energy,

Your psyche,

That will set in motion your psyche and your psyche will take you down to the level of wounding where,

Where you got hurt.

And you know,

The memories will come up and you will feel the same way you felt when the initial wounding came up.

But you can ask that it happens gently,

That the highest good way,

And that you have all the support you need.

And then just be brave,

You know,

And recover yourself.

We need women to do this,

You know.

We might as well because who wants to walk around unhappy your whole life?

You know,

I was,

You know,

The wounding was healing,

The wounding was pretty intense,

But I'm really feel happy and fulfilled now.

So it's worth it.

And if I hadn't done it,

Then I'd still be walking around with that kind of big black hole in my heart.

We're sort of up against it,

You know,

We've got this challenge.

I mean,

We were going to have to get through this period.

And I think that one of the requirements is we're going to have to turn inside men and women actually.

And you know,

Maybe just women becoming gentler with yourselves.

And remember that it's your true energy that will attract the man and make him faithful to you.

It's like if you're in your truth,

You'll attract just the right one.

And he will be faithful to you.

Because you've been faithful to yourself.

With the masculine running women,

We get sometimes focused on our outside shell,

You know,

Looking beautiful.

That's not as powerful as one might think.

And then it goes anyway with age.

Anyway,

This is a big advertisement for turning inside and clearing our connection to our true feminine energy.

And then maybe Mother Nature will settle down.

Okay,

Bless your hearts.

What's it?

May you live in interesting times,

The Chinese curse,

May you live in interesting times while we've got them.

Okay,

Bless your hearts.
