The Perfect Example of the Law of Gender

by Sequoia Elisabeth

I found the perfect example of the Law of Gender, San Francisco Bay and Manhattan Island, NY. First of all we need to review the Seventh Universal Law;

The Law of Gender: “Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles”. The last of the seven Universal Laws is evident throughout creation in the so-called opposite sexes found not only in human beings but also in plants, minerals, electrons and magnetic poles to name but a few. Everything and everyone contains both the masculine and feminine elements. Among the outward expressions of Feminine qualities are love, patience, intuition and gentleness and of Masculine qualities are energy, self-reliance, logic and intellect. Know that within every woman lay all the latent qualities of a man and within every man those of a woman. When you know this you will know what it means to be complete.

Nature is a perfect example of the varying energies which surround us. If you look at satellite maps of San Francisco bay you may notice the bay takes on the shape of female anatomy, with a vagina (channel leading into the bay), uterus (bay area around Alcatraz), and fallopian tubes (bay leads both south & north).

The big industries in this area are mostly internet based technologies, creative ventures which embody lots of feminine energy. After all where do babies come from but the female womb? We have seen some big births emerging from this area, the Dot Com boom, Silicon Valley, and the Universities which fuel this growth. But this area is not the only example of gender manifesting in nature. What about New York City?

The island of Manhattan forms the perfect shape of a penis thus embodying masculine energy. What are the big industries here? Finance, commerce, and shipping. There’s plenty of energy, self-reliance, logic, and intellect here! Not to say there is no feminine energy here, but overall the land attracts a dominant energy and complimentary industries are born. And so it is everywhere, just maybe not so obvious.

If you have ever spent time in these places then you will know the energy they embody. Maybe this is why I love travel so much. To feel the energy of a city and get to know the land it is found on. There are no coincidences as to why certain towns are the way they are. Most of the Spiritual centers around the world are located at altitude. Take Tibet for instance or Lake Titicaca both over 12,000 ft. in elevation. Both these locations are Spiritual centers of the Earth. So what is the moral to this tale, simply that there is Power in Place. Wherever you find yourself the place will amplify certain energies. Awareness is the key to enlightenment, the doorway to other realms, and our reason for being!

Redefining Masculine and Feminine Continued

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Let us continue the discussion of Masculine and Feminine, how we define them and use them. As I mentioned before the Universal Laws play a pivotal role as to how we view and use Masculinity and Femininity. All the laws are applicable and important, however we are concerned here and now with the Law of Polarity without which relationships would have no passion.

“The Law of Polarity (Mutable): The fourth of the seven Universal Laws tells us that “Everything is dual, everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree”. It is also the first of the mutable or transcendable Universal Laws. It means that there are two sides to everything. Things that appear as opposites are in fact only two extremes of the same thing. For instance, heat and cold may appear to be opposites at first glance, but in truth they are simply varying degrees of the same thing. The same applies to love and hate, peace and war, positive and negative, good and evil, yes and no, light and darkness, energy and matter, (man and woman). You can transform your thoughts from hate to love, from fear to courage, (from masculine to feminine) by consciously raising your vibrations. This is what in the ancient Hermetic Teachings is called the Art of Polarization.

Rising Above the Law of Polarity: This Principle of Duality may appear to be very real in your life but it operates only in the physical and mental realms, not in the spiritual realm where All is One. As it says in the Bhagavad-Gita, “God is Above the Opposites”. By always placing the all-powerful, all-knowing Great Spirit of which you are a part behind your every thought, statement and action, and by always focusing on the “good”, even when things appear to be going “bad”, then in time you will rise above the Law of Polarity.” (Tania Kotsos 2013)

Remember that all Love is Self Love, because we are One. In reality there is no one else, ony Infinite Intelligence, Prime Creator, Divine Source or God (different names for the One). Individuation is how God experiences Self!

Till such time as you have transcended Polarity, it is useful to understand it better in regards to the relationship between man and woman; male and female. It is also important to realize the distinction between them which most never think of. Since I identify as a male woman (transgender) it has been of utmost importance to me. I think it can also be of great help to you no matter how you identify.

“A man may have a feminine core and a female may have a masculine core, or they could both be more balanced in their masculine and feminine aspects, but as long as one partner is willing to play the masculine polarity while the other plays the feminine polarity, they can enjoy sexual interaction with each other in a satisfying manner.” (Luminessa Enjara, Sep. 14 2011)

“The feminine is pure, boundless and infinite energy moving freely without any particular direction. It is directionless but immense, ever changing, beautiful and destructive. The feminine is the force of life and source of inspiration. The feminine moves in all directions, the masculine moves in one direction. The feminine needs the masculine to give it direction, focus and purpose. The masculine needs the energy of the feminine to give it drive and passion. The masculine and the feminine need each other. The masculine directs while the feminine projects. This is the relationship of yin and yang.” (Blog, Evolution of the Male Part I)

“The secret (to use sexual polarity) is that you don’t actually use it, you just live it. Once you start living deep inside your energy it encourages your partner to live deep inside hers (theirs). When both of you are there the electricity just happens. There is no active working on it, no trying to prove yourself, no performance. You just relax into yourself and let the natural male (or female) inside you live. You trust that your presence and certainty will come out, naturally.” (Graham Phoenix 2013)

Now it is up to you to search deep within and discover your polarity which is some percentage of maleness and femaleness, regardless of your physical sex and gender identity. Think of it as a spectrum with he curve looking like two mountains with most people being in the neighborhood of a 75/25 split one way or the other. (See graphic) I wish you Blessings on your Journey of Love!

Redefining Masculine and Feminine

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Redefining Masculine and Feminine and how they fit into society & culture. As the human race evolves our gender roles and sexual definitions are changing. It is fascinating to look back at things as simple as the bathing suit to see how it has changed over time, just Google the history of the bathing suit/swim suit. Or look at women in the military and the roles they play there. How about men’s fashion? In some cultures the clothes are becoming more androgynous and the boundaries are breaking down. Examples would be Europe, Japan and the more cosmopolitan cities around the world.

The purpose of this blog is to open your mind to the changes that are happening all around you right now. I am sure this depends on the environment in which you live, but it is not restricted to just cities. For hundreds if not thousands of years women would work around the farm performing work most men these days would balk at. So this is not necessarily a new trend, but one which has been building over the past several hundred years. Men are staying at home to raise the children and women are running board rooms and companies. The business look is becoming more androgynous with women wearing pant suits and dark colors to compete with the men.

So what are these trends all about? Why now? Where is all this going? I have done much research on the new Age of Aquarius and feel this is largely responsible for the changes you are presently experiencing. There are also a few Universal Laws to consider as well. Both of which I have blogged about before. Focusing on the Zodiac cycles for now, it is well known that we just passed the 2012 end date for the end of an era. We know there are 12 signs in the zodiac and the total period of the cycle is equal to 25,920 years so this makes each era 2160 years. There is also a cusp period of transition between eras, making the period of change about 200-600 years. From all the data I have reviewed the end of this transition period is between 1860 and 2600. “The Age of Aquarius is an astrological age, which shifts roughly every 2,150 years. It’s defined by the sun’s position at the time of the March, or vernal, equinox. The Age of Aquarius begins when the March equinox point moves out of the constellation Pisces and into the constellation Aquarius. But there’s no definitive answer as to when that will be.” (EarthSky.org) What this means is the influence of Pisces has been waning since about 1860 and the Age of Aquarius has been waxing. When you look closely at the traits of each it is easy to see this phenomenon in action.

“The Age of Aquarius is the Age of Freedom, Technology (especially electricity), and the Water Bearer.” (Weaver, Sandra 2012) While ‘The Age of Pisces has been a very spiritual age. It is a time of gentleness, materialism and artistry, but also it is about impracticality.’ (Weaver, Sandra 2012) War has been the theme of Pisces and Peace is the theme of Aquarius. Duality has ruled the Age of Pisces with the male and female being polar but this is changing as the Age of Aquarius slowly takes over. The Age of Aquarius is denoted by androgyny and bi-sexuality. This makes perfect sense when you take into count the cosmology of each age. Aquarius is all about Oneness and connection, peace, love and sharing. Pisces on the other hand was about separation, duality, materialism, and conflict. The lessons learned from Pisces are profound and offer a divine contrast to the world we are moving into. Understand neither is the “right way” to experience life, but instead are simply a way to experience life. Variety is what makes life interesting and we are moving into very interesting times indeed!

Sex Chakra Explored

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Sex is a complicated subject as well as a multi-dimensional one. Gender is separate so put that out of your mind right now. Our entire life is multi-dimensional when you look at it from the perspective of Chakras. With each of the seven Chakras being one dimension, for the sake of this blog we will only cover the second chakra for brevity. I will also point out there are at least 12 Chakra levels/dimensions which extend from the Root of your being out to the farthest reaches of the Universe. The actual root for us earthlings is our Sun extending to the planets, human beings, the solar system, the galaxy, and the Great Central Sun. The chart below is a view of the metaphysical teachings of the 12 Chakra system. The first seven are most commonly focused on because they directly involve the body.

Now consider the aspect of sex which we all know, the parts between your legs. This is just one level or aspect of sex; Orange, Polarity Chakra. This is the aspect of male/female polarity and in our society the most basic level of sex.

Each being has a system of Chakras which connect them to the whole. The point of connection between us can occur at each level. Sexual intercourse occurs at the level of the orange polarity Chakra. This again is a basic level of sex which serves procreation of our species as well as the transfer of vital energies between partners. It is a sacred act, unless it is not. This means your intention determines the energy shared. Yes, we are conscious beings and we have moved beyond the level of simple procreation. If the intention is to have children then this will occur, however if the only intention is to share energy this is all that will occur, but it must be done on a conscious level; a level of mastery many on our planet are now achieving if they so choose. Unconscious sex, the animal drive is all about procreation, thus the need for birth control. When taken to a higher level of conscious intention and divine love exchange, medical intervention is no longer necessary.

The female shares mental and emotional energies while the male brings physical energy to the sharing. The blend of energies depends on the individuals participating, so if both are female then one will share physical energy and the other will share mental/emotional energies. One of the roles sex plays is it allows us to balance our energies. Having an open and active Orange, Polarity Chakra is important in proper function of this sharing. One of my favorite meditations for this is the singing bowls.

Things get out of balance when sex is forced, faked, or avoided. This of course can happen with any of the Chakras, they become blocked or partially blocked. Meditation is a good tool to keep the Chakras open as well as the other basics such as exercise, good nutrition, and good hygiene. Loving conscious practice is also important in the healthy functioning at all levels. The seven chakra series of singing bowls makes a great way to balance these energies.

One aspect of sex which needs sharing consists of the aspects of masculine and feminine. Think of these as energies, not physical forms. Masculine, the rod, is the energy of a man, such as strong, hard, angular, rough, aggressive, giving and active. The rod is designed to give to the receptacle. It is the energy of penetration and physicality. Feminine, the receptacle, is the energy of a woman such as soft, curvy, voluptuous, receptive, attractive, subtle, gentle and serene. Often this energy is slow moving, emotional, and mental. These are the energies which are shared during sex no matter whether the partners are opposite sex or same sex. Every person has both in a balance depending on their physical sex. Another way to think of this is a spectrum with feminine energy at one end and masculine at the other. Each person falls somewhere in between. The partner attracted will be opposite this balance and the balance is not fixed, so things can change over time; however they do tend to stay close to the same.

So now you have a primer to deepen your exploration of sex and its purpose. The eBook, “Sex and Sexuality – One Woman’s Journey of Discovery” has a whole chapter dedicated to sexual purpose, Ch. 8 Sex as Communication. Blessings on your Journey of Love♥

Balancing Act

by Sequoia Elisabeth

This blog is a reminder about being centered in your body and living consciously. It is a re-post from Feb. ’11. Please let me know what you would like to know more about. In this time of drastic changes, upheavals, and shifts it is more important than ever to stay balanced within. Jesus Christ literally means “I am Centered” or balanced within. Jeshua Ben Joseph reached that state and earned the title Jesus Christ and so can you. The following is a quote from the eBook Sex and Sexuality.

“Both masculine and feminine energy are a part of every person on earth. Because these are energies and not traits per se, they behave like energy. In each moment we are expressing either one of these energies depending on both our situation and the situation surrounding us. Let’s start by getting a better idea about what the rod and receptacle represent.

Feminine, the receptacle, is the energy of a woman such as soft, curvy, voluptuous, receptive, attractive, subtle, gentle and serene. Often this energy is slow moving and emotional. It is equated with the Yin in the Eastern philosophies. This term can be somewhat ambiguous and depends on use, location and nationality of user. It can be referred to as a feeling or an appearance. The word feminine is used to describe energy not the person. It is the behavior of the person which could be innate or could be learned and is most often both. It does not necessarily mean man or woman, although feminine traits are associated with women. Men have feminine energy too and in order to live a happy life they need to balance this feminine energy with their masculine. The receptacle is designed to receive a rod.

Masculine, the rod, is the energy of a man, such as strong, hard, angular, rough, aggressive, giving and active. The rod is designed to give to the receptacle. They work together and cannot be separated. Masculine energy is often fast moving and less emotional than the feminine. It is equated with the Yang in the Eastern philosophies. It can be referred to as a feeling or an appearance. Women also have this energy and it can be an important part of a woman’s life. Being the active energy masculinity is how we get things done. So everyone uses this at some time or another. If you are constantly doing things then your energy is weighted (think of a scale) to the masculine.” (Sex and Sexuality)

Working with this energy takes practice and awareness, which is why I think it is so important. Anything that holds us in awareness is a good thing. Awareness is part of being alive, centered within your body, and living in the now. Take a moment to feel your body. One function of pain is to keep you aware and direct your attention to some aspect of your life. Louise Hay has a wonderful book on this subject, You Can Heal Your Life, which I highly recommend.

Taking this exercise to the next level; be aware of the masculine and feminine energy within your body. Remember the traits above and know that Masculine energy is held in the arms and shoulders, while feminine energy is in the pelvis, hips and legs. As you go about your daily activities, notice where your energy is. The task you are engaged in will often determine the energy brought forth. This is done unconsciously and automatically. I am asking you to be aware of it. Once you notice where it is and how you use this energy you can use this energy consciously to help with your desires and goals. This is especially important in relationships, working, and in playing. Women radiate attractive energy (femininity) when they desire to attract attention for personal or professional reasons. Men use masculinity in the opposite fashion a woman uses her femininity. The man uses giving and action when in a relationship to a woman. So men if you wish to find a woman be active to the point of aggressive and giving. Don’t forget that everyone has both energies and be ready to balance your energy depending on the situation. This same dynamic works for homosexual’s only one individual will be in the opposite and balancing energy. One is feminine, attractive and the other will be masculine, giving and active, this dynamic can shift back and forth as well. Once again a reason to stay aware! Blessings on your Journey of Love ♥

Gender Transition

by Sequoia Elisabeth

What is the purpose of gender transition? A feeling of dysphoria is controlling your life, you feel uncomfortable in your body and out of place in your gender role. You feel compelled to live your life in the opposite gender and to do so fully, gender transition is necessary. There is a question of degree also. Do you feel like the other gender all the time or only occasionally? Will you be happy crossdressing and being in those gender roles part time? Not such an easy question to answer for many.

From my experience it is an evolution that begins early in your life when you first realize that you feel feminine more than masculine and have a male body, or vice versa. Like I said there are degrees and social constructs for you to step into. Will you be happy as a feminine man or masculine woman? What clothing are you most comfortable wearing, men’s or women’s or maybe both or even a mixture? Which gender role feels right?

Gender Identity is an internal function of your brain that is hardwired from birth and your journey here on earth is to discover who you are! Regardless of the physical body you were given at birth, this is about being harmonious in your body as the person you are naturally. Think about this for a minute, “Naturally“. What feels natural to you? What feels like second nature or instinctual for you? Forget that you have a body at all. Close your eyes and feel the Truth.

The gender transition journey involves living in harmony as who you are naturally. The mirror will often betray your self-image, so do not get distracted by what you see. The goal is to feel comfortable and happy with who you are being. If you can love the person in the mirror then you are doing great! As this is the ultimate goal. Transition is not about conforming to society’s expectations. Or what you perceive as society’s expectations. In fact this may be about your misconception of society’s expectations!

What are expectations and where do they come from? Expectations are behavior patterns that you accept as given per the circumstances. They come from your own mind and were passed on by those who raised you. You could say that they are learned, but I think it is more systemic than that. We are each like a cog in a clock, we fit in and do our part in the larger functioning of the clock. It could be argued that certain parts are not necessary, but that is a limited view. I prefer to say that each part is necessary or it would not be here, we just do not know the function or understand its purpose. Transgender often falls in this category.

Divine Feminine Returns

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Divine Feminine is resurging in both our individual lives as well as the collective. If you look around you will see the breaking down of many masculine and male dominated systems. The Dali Lama is quoted as saying that “the western woman will be our saviors”. Why is that and what is going on in the world to warrant a savior?

The last 4000 years for the most part have been an adventure of masculine energy guiding our path and forging most cultures of the world, however the past 300 years or more the pendulum has reversed its swing in the other direction. Divine Feminine is arising to balance the masculine and to bring peace to our planet once again. Many world leaders are seeing this and it has been forecast by the Maya, the Hopi and many other societies of the past. This is the age of Aquarius, the birth of 1000 years of peace!

Embracing Divine Feminine will lead you where you need to be. We as a collective society must let go of the old masculine ways and embrace the healing, nurturing ways of Divine Feminine. The world is on the verge of collapse and many changes are occurring daily as the old regime is crumbling. This is the perfect opportunity to change the world, to rebuild it with Loving and caring femininity. It is time to step into a passive role and allowing posture so that Mother Earth may heal. Let’s take a step back from all the activity and masculine forces, take a deep breath and allow balance to return here on Earth! You are the savior of your life regardless of whether you are male, female both or neither. Consciousness is aware that it is aware and a shift is occuring as you read this. Just as the poles of the earth are shifting from north to south so is the energy shifting from masculine to feminine. It is important in all this change to stay focused on what is important to you, to allow the inner healing of your heart and hold a vision for the life you would like to live. The next few blogs will be focusing on a vision of the future, so stay tuned and please share your ideas.

Union of Souls

by Sequoia Elisabeth

I share with you a message today that sings to my Soul and ignites a fire of passion. My article on Sexuality found HERE, speaks to this very subject of which is one of the reasons we are incarnated here on Earth, to experience this union. Let me point out that this is energy we speak of not strickly male and female. Even in same sex relationships one person will embody the Masculine and the other Feminine, this may change or flip-flop depending on the relationship just let go of stereotypes and feel the JOY.

The Masculine and Feminine Union

I often hear that a fundamental feminine practice is to surrender–to the masculine in your life, and to the divine. I believe this is true. A great relationship is not created by trying to control one’s partner. A joy-filled life does not happen in the midst of clinging on to a false sense of security, or trying to control events and people around you. Your feminine practice is to learn to let go and trust. But, trust is not blind faith. Trust does not mean giving yourself to just anyone. Trust requires you to listen deeply. Who is worthy of your trust? In partnership with the loving masculine presence in your life, are you listening to your heart and his heart? Are you open to the gifts he wants to share with you? Are you tuned in to the “masculine” way he wants to connect with you? If you are single, the same questions apply. Listen to whether his heart is really open and if he is ready to share himself with you.

Surrendering to our partner is not just for women. Men who want to experience a great relationship are called to surrender to the feminine’s awesome power. The magical union that occurs when both the masculine and the feminine surrender to the other is beautifully depicted in this piece of writing by Lakota Sioux, Henry Houston

“When a woman is in her center, she is like wild mare taking flight freely through the open plain, her mane whipping in the wind. The strength of her powerfully sculptured legs merges with the earth, majestically creating its own drumbeat in tribute to Source. She is pure and primal expression of creative power.

What is possible for her becomes totally transformed when her beloved is riding her, the masculine strength who knows and honors her power. It is through his surrender to her that he is able to become one with her. His masterful leadership and understanding of her raw power, her desires and her vision guides and directs the powerful energies in a manner that manifests the greatest good for the unified collaboration. He harnesses the energy into a purposeful end for both.

He does not fear or compete with her magnificent power. Through surrender and union, he experiences his True Nature beyond the world of form and this unleashes his own spiritual power. He is free! She gratefully surrenders to his leadership, for it grounds her, stabilizes her energy, and allows for its manifestation on the physical plane. Both are empowered by the union. Still each of them stands sovereign in his and her own power. Out of the balanced unity is created a third force, a natural flow of synergistic energy between them that combines their individual wholeness into an infinitely expanded wholeness together. All of creation joins in the celebration of this Divine Union .”

I invite you to print this out and read it with the masculine presence in your life. What do they feel when reading this? I’d love to know what arose in your conversation if you want to share.

Blessings for a magical union of masculine and feminine.

Divine Feminine

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Divine Feminine is the path to Great Spirit. We are carried by our emotions to the spirit world. Our journey is constantly guided by our soul through coincidences and messages from nature. An open mind and observant eye will do much to lead us home. Learning to trust our visions and feelings is the first step to mastering our lives, but we must also learn patience, how to sit in silence and humility.

According to Karen Berg’s teachings of the Kabbalah women are already corrected from the debacle in the Garden of Eden and here only to guide their man who still needs correction back to their spiritual home. If a person is meek, quiet, unimposing and demure then they have an understanding of Great Spirit that is reached by letting go of the masculine and immersing oneself in the feminine. The masculine is necessary to balance the feminine and provide strength and action, but once we are where we need to be then it is time to let go of all masculine and flow into the feminine.

The last 4000 years for the most part have been an adventure of masculine energy guiding our path and forging our culture. It is time and has been for the past 300 years or more for the pendulum to swing the other direction. Divine Feminine is arising to balance the masculine and to bring peace to our planet once again. Resist it not, for it is a gift that will set you free.

Embrace the Divine Feminine for the gift that it is and wade into its waters like a warm spring. The waterfall is there as source with its masculine energy filling our little pond with vibrancy, so soak in the waters that fulfill us. Let the banks overflow with soft and gentle waters. Move into the realm of emotion and fear it not. Who you are is who you need to be at that time, there are no limits such as physical form or such. I am woman because I need to be. 🙂 Sequoia Elisabeth
