EARTH is the Feminine Principle
EARTH is the feminine principle – love, creation, liquid movement, pure ecstasy. In all my work with women across the planet, I have come to realize how many women despise being born into a female body.

HEAVEN is the masculine principle in us an in our relationships – consciousness, stillness, bliss. We all have both masculine and feminine principles in us.
Sex in the world we live in is a pretty shallow affair. On the one hand, we get entrained in our culture to believe that there is something inherently bad and dirty about sex.
The Women’s Union is that aspect of women’s psyche during Patriarchy that subconsciously subscribes to the basic tenant of the system: The belief that men—and the outdated model of the masculine that we held in Patriarchy—has all the power. This model includes beliefs such as that only the top dog survives, and that life is all about competition.
In my previous post, I introduced you to the first of three feminine sexual archetypes that need transforming in our time. The first one was the Virgin, and the next archetype is the Whore.The Whore is society’s scapegoat — she is judged by everyone from celibate priests to AIDS-preaching pharmaceutical companies. She is also celebrated, as by the rock star Madonna.
If we travel through the shadow land of the Whore archetype, we will find that at its core, this archetype has a message that our society desperately needs to hear. It is this:
Celebrate your sexuality! It is powerful… and it is divine!
There are three archetypes of feminine sexuality that are called on in the process of sexual awakening. Men, with some creative reading, you’ll see how this applies to your journey.
The sexual archetype I’d like to introduce here is the Virgin. In our collective unconscious, the words “virgin” and “sexual” don’t go together. Patriarchy has turned the virgin into an asexual, disembodied creature who floats ethereally above her body.
Much of the work of Tantra is about uncovering and integrating what has been lying hidden in the unconscious.
This article is an exploration of personal love-attraction as it moves up the chakras. My focus here will be on the healthy impulse of attraction in each chakra.
I invite you to feel yourself
as the black night sky
from which the stars are born
The underlying issue affecting women’s sexuality today is that we have been operating from an outdated male model of sexuality.
With that in mind, I’d like to give you a simple 3-step practice for addressing this problem by having a conversation with YOUR masculine.
