Gateways to 2012 Part IV
Sexuality, Moving Forward
By Gwynne Mayer MA Psychology and Education
Our sexuality is so much a part of us in every way; it is entangled in our spiritual, mental and physical growth and our approach to this says everything about the way we enter the advancing energies of 2012. We have deliberated how to approach this subject of sexuality for many years; we can hardly advance forward if we are to be caught up in technical discussions revolving around our sexuality and the changes that are moving us toward a more androgynous level of understanding. This is not a technical endeavor we are bringing forth here, and it is not to exclude this matter, so we will leave this up to you and your intimate connections to self to discern where you stand with an intense study of sexuality as we move toward oneness and the affects advancement in consciousness has on one's sexual nature. We are on a spiritual journey and much of our spiritual connection is propelled by our sexuality and its intensity as a true kundalini force in nature. Changes are happening in a intense whirlwind of energies invading our 'here and now' reality even more so the multi dimensional world in which we live. As we move into our androgynous nature, owning the anima and animus within, excluding the struggle toward gender identification, at least in the spiritual connection to our higher source, we have to understand that we are transforming our energies in every sense of the word, and only in becoming more conscious can we really attain the true meaning of our own sexual natures.
Androgyny, as we apply this term here, is a true integration of our femininity/masculinity and is not concerned as to role playing within relationships so please understand that if one is still hung up on who, what and why about their sexual nature, that is okay, but not the focus here. To get to a level of transformation and transcendence, one must come to terms with one's own feminine/masculine body within.
From Wikipedia:
Prof. Sandra Bem's work on androgyny preceded the current widespread use of the term as a gender identity, and uses the term more in terms of character traits than core gender identity. She considers an androgynous balance of traits to be desirable, stating that those who are able to draw on both traditionally masculine and feminine emotions and behaviors are best able to cope with life's challenges in a well-rounded way.
Daniel Jacob writes more about this subject on http://www.reconnections.net/androgyny.htm and we will continue a more in our depth discussion of this on our weekly Gateways to 2012, Blogtalk radio, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gmayer. To move forward in the meta universes and into quantum realities, we have to realize the shamanic importance of advancing our understanding of the androgyne, http://www.reconnections.net/androgyny2.htm
From Wikipedia in regards to human sexuality:
"Human sexuality is not simply imposed by instinct or stereotypical conducts, as it happens in animals, but it is influenced both by superior mental activity and by social, cultural, educational and normative characteristics of those places where the subjects grow up and their personality develops. Consequently, the analysis of sexual sphere must be based on the convergence of several lines of development such as affectivity, emotions and relations".
And now as we have some background of where we might go with this information, let's give ourselves permission to really go into depth into our own sexual nature and clear out the cob webs shall we? Cob webs meaning: value judgments, blocked sexual energies, past psychological factors, relationship baggage. We aren't going there, and maybe you can understand that we need to transform that energy privately and thoroughly on our own time. We all have problems, blocks, negatives, so how about coming out of that space and seeing our future and multidimensional selves as pure sexual beings in a continuous movement toward becoming ONE with self/Self and others, helping to heal the planet and others around us in a way that is lasting and transformative.
We have been discussing the energetic of 2012 and how the planet is speeding up its own energies aligning itself with the galaxies and we are focusing on how this is affecting us as our lives seem to be folding in on themselves. Our dreams are becoming more intensive, our interactions with others are intensified and it seem we are all being bombarded from the personal to the political arena…it is all part of the soup we are in, as Carl Jung use to say. We in the psychological field are definitely skewed in our frame of reference as we see person after person struggle in this area, not to mention those peers of ours in the healing professions try to gain balance and not get tipped over in this topsy turvy world.
There is a general mandate out in the cosmos to take care of our own bodies, minds and spirits as we move toward our transcendent lives on this planet which is also making its transitions; global warming, planetary changes, zero-point realities, ala Gregg Braden and even more so a global economy that is moving the USA away from isolationism and empiricism at the same time.
Last week we discussed the 'shadow' which lives completely in the 'other self' that lies beyond our peripheral vision, sometimes in other realities, however the affects this shadow has on our bodies. The old beliefs, the old lies, the old rigidity reeks havoc on our bodies. By taking inventory on these bodily manifestations, we might be able to build a new and more open body for our soul's infusion into self. We come to this planet through an intense energy of light vibration and as we incarnate and get closer to the earth, the magnetic field gets dense; the thought forms manifest. Lo and behold! we land on this earth in physical form, taking on, within our bodies all the beliefs and grounded interactions that are on this planet; all the paradigms, the belief systems, the families, the personalities, the governmental and cultural structures, the place which houses our bodies...we take all of it into our body and then we begin processing this persona in this life. Our body holds all of what we are and what we are to become, and reveals itself by our own relationship to it.
We are always in a state of learning, feeling, sensing, intuiting, that which our body is telling us. What is your body telling you? In our work with others, therapeutically, we develop dialogues within the body, which, eventually will be exemplified on this site, but until then, let's look at the psychological processes by which we learn more about our shadows as they are reflected in our bodies, the buried periphery in our personal unconscious.
According to our study of bioenergetics combined with the work of Carl Jung, we are going to go over some general meanings regarding body armor and body shadow energy. The SHADOW is that part of you which is reflected in your relationships, projections, high energy involvements, and seems to always slip past your energy boundaries into your body when not processed. The body creates the actual MIRROR of your body as a temple of worship so that you have to pay attention and maintain some vigilant disciplines about the care and nurturing of your own body.
We manifest in our bodies the following symptoms so that we can learn how to deal with this dense planet and get past the process in order to become more aware and conscious, as well as 'response able' to our authenticity.
The head is the part of us that is caught up in logos, thinking, intellect, analyzing and many of us operate totally from our heads trying to make sense of all that comes to us and from us. Even while writing this, my head is using up all its oxygenation, not focusing on breathing into my head to prevent headaches...too much energy focused in one area for any length of time, will create stagnation in that area, due to no oxygen. Headaches and more head injuries create a need to get out of our minds and into our bodies.
The speech mechanisms in the throat and all around the chest area can create such blocks as laryngitis, polyps, our children who have speech defects because we have not learned to communicate our truths. Yes, even our children manifest our 'denial of body'. Sometimes the lessons have to be given with a 2 X 4 over the head in the form of our sons and daughters to reflect back to us our own selves, mainly golden shadows as children will often take the higher road. Thank God!!
Our hearts get blocked, big time, due to our inability to love self, others, without limitation, judgment, and willingness to receive love and nurturance. Our inability to receive touch, care, love….all of this shuts the heart down to a screeching halt. This is reflected in pains on the left side of the body as well as the lack of circulation and mobility at that level, and various other signs along the way.
Our stomachs are loaded with the unexpressed anger. The abandonment of the mother or the unavailability of the mother/nurturance. The lactose intolerance, because we were fed with attachment and with the toxicity of the mother's attachment or abandoning, both creating the same polarity. The over mothering is just as abandoning of the child as the mother who leaves her child on the doorstep of the 'other'.
Our pelvises and sexual chakras are the seat of kundalini, and shock us into action through frustration, through charisma, through magnetic chemistry between us and others. The planet is going through major shifts of sexual energy and how we use it. This energy is pristine and we put thoughts/feelings/emotional dramas on this energy so that we can source our more intense selves. We refuse to own our male/female authentically . We don't want to look in the face of our husbands, wives, and lovers, and say... He/She is ME ..I am having a sexual relationship with myself, so we manifest all kinds of problems in our genitalia.
We have mentioned a few of the areas that hold our shadows, parts of self that we project on others 'to hold' until such time as we can hold the energy as self, consciously and fully, becoming healthy physically so that we can live longer more fulfilled lives. The discussion of sexuality is all intertwined in these physical emotional factors, so you be the judge of your own nature.
Becoming fully conscious of our shadows requires other disciplines that are necessary so that we don't bury ourselves in our own conscious self. And even more to the point we do not contaminate our 'intimate others' with the parts of us that are constantly projected out, especially our sexual connections to self. Jung once warned:
"If you imagine someone who is brave enough to withdraw all his projections, then you get an individual who is conscious of a pretty thick shadow. Such a man has saddled himself with new problems and conflicts. He has become a serious problem to himself, as he is now unable to say that they do this or that, they are wrong, and they must be fought against. He lives in the "House of the Gathering." Such a man knows that whatever is wrong in the world is in himself, and if he only learns to deal with his own shadow he has done something real for the world. He has succeeded in shouldering at least an infinitesimal part of the gigantic, unsolved social problems of our day." Carl Jung, CW11: p. 1
To make sense of our world today, especially the intensity of moving toward 2012 forces us to understand our nature even more than ever and to move into oneness in a way that we see how we affect the world around us, mostly those who are up close and personal. Shall we really try to make a spiritual leap into Oneness without bringing our pristine sexuality with us? It is impossible, even more so it is impossible for that golden energy, that kundalini force of nature to be ignored. So won't you come along with us on this ride?
GATEWAYS TO 2012: SPIRITUALITY AND SEX
by Daniel Jacob at http://www.reconnections.net
Ever since we began hosting Reconnections Weekly Meetings, back in 1992---I have observed a magical intertwining of TWIN TONES......moving in, around, and through each person who entered our doors. Very much akin to the Energies of Animus and Anima, mentioned previously in Gwynne's Introduction---these Twin Tones fairly permeate everything we say or do when we are together. I am speaking here of Spirituality and Sex.
In their 2005 Series of Transmissions on this Grand Intertwining, The Reconnections unfolded a Blueprint for Ascension Power that has proven to be a turning point in the lives of many transforming souls on Planet Earth. That Blueprint was later expanded and focused in a 6-Part Commentary I wrote for Planet Lightworker.com in late 2007.
In truth, it is impossible to move into the realm of "Spirituality" without invoking the power of "Sexuality" as well. A number of religious organizations have tried this, but to no avail. As we discussed during last week's program on "The Shadow," that which we attempt to repress within ourselves always finds a way of breaking through---usually when we least expect it.
In her writings on the subject, author Liz Green once wrote: "The Shadow is both the awful thing that needs redemption and the suffering redeemer who can provide it." Even as Spirituality is traditionally viewed as the Redeemer of Humankind, Sexuality is all-too-often shunned as our Primary Downfall. There is more shame, blame, and disdain generated through Sexuality Experimentation and Activity than any other arena in life.
As Energies rise in Mother Gaia, Human Bio-Energy continues to entrain itself (in Oneness) to that Planetary Surge. Magnetic Fields shift and transform, and a host of memories and hidden desires come racing to the surface of our expanding consciousness. This week's show (as well as others, I'm sure) will be dedicated to unraveling and reframing all manner of negative projections and judgments---replacing them with a child-like innocence, such as we all enjoyed at the beginning of our tenure in physical form. Is it any wonder that those Angelic Forces now guarding the entrance back into Eden are made up primarily of Cherubs?
Indeed.....It is the MAGICAL CHILD within us all who instinctively REMEMBERS how to approach this powerful nexus of energies with playfulness, wide-eyed enthusiasm, and genuine joy. Come share with Gwynne Mayer, The Reconnections, and myself as we re-open Pandora's Box (!!!) in anticipation of that Grand Acceleration of Planetary Glory which lies ahead! Hang onto your Hats, this ride could get a little bumpy!!!
