THE WOMAN/MAN OF INNER POWER
The Woman of Inner-Power
‘When sleeping women wake: mountains move.’
-Chinese Proverb.
A woman of inner-power is expansive, understanding and holistic in outlook. She knows her own worth, strong points and talents.
She refuses to be robbed of all those things which are hers by virtue of her gender. She is not taken-in by any stratagem which subtly but firmly seeks to rob her of her confidence, self-esteem and power.
She has an empathy which shows her how all life is connected and how all things are somehow interdependent, even though logic does not allow for this. She avoids dominating others or being dominated; freedom is her basic intrinsic value. She has opened her heart centre.
She is grounded in the esoteric tradition; and expands her positive qualities and cognitive ability through the profound contemplation of Cosmic Truth. There are, of course, some limited exceptions to this rule.
Learning these principles, she becomes aware of how to accumulate positive force and how to project it! She is not phased by domineering or misogynistic men, who hide behind a mask of toughness but who, in reality, fear the feminine qualities that they refuse to acknowledge and engender in their own Being … compassion, sensitivity, tact, humility, simplicity of action, kindness and warmth. They fear the power of the ‘Goddess’.
Her power comes from within, not in how she looks – but from her understanding of life; people and the cultural-myopia that is currently all pervasive. She is a force to be reckoned with.
She has lost all fake, culturally generated fear; she is not taken in by anachronistic traditions, mores and subtle indoctrination designed to dis-empower women and to create a feeling of inferiority. She bows before no fake cultural ideology – she is free from artificial restraint.
She is communicative and nurtures real friendships, rather than being manipulative. She recognizes the dangers of moodiness and negative emotions, which, in themselves, tend to dis-empower her.
She is her own person and will not hesitate to break free from family or friends who try to undermine her. She does not need their permission to be free and understands that everything worthwhile in life has a price.
This individual is a ‘wild-woman’, not needing external validation nor possessing the irrational compulsion to comply with convention. She is always ‘hands on’, willing to help others in a moment of crisis – especially other women, her ‘sisters’, whoever they are and wherever they may be.
She is a champion of Nature and genuinely understands the need for conservation; freedom of expression on the subject; and intelligent action.
The ‘Goddess’ manifests through her in a powerful combination of startling dynamics – she is a model for all other women. No man on the street can match her.
‘Strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable spirit.’
-Mahatma Ghandi.
Some men are apprehensive of her, since she will not tolerate being ‘looked down upon’ nor countenance double standards. Despite her formidable powers, she holds a strong respect for all human beings, including men. She projects her power in a positive manner, always avoiding negativity whenever possible. She has achieved inner-balance and feels no compunction to have a siege-mentality and constantly defend her position.
Obviously, there are varying degrees of the above qualities to be found in a liberated woman, or one might say; in a woman who has developed in herself inner-power, but the general principles outlined here – hold good.
‘It is better to walk alone, than with a crowd going in the wrong direction.’
-Kevin Hart.
The Man of Inner-Power
A man with inner-power has left behind violence, politics, narrow self-interest, avarice, smugness and hatred. His greatest motivation is to discover the real meaning of his life, and thus act in accordance with the principles and wisdom he subsequently acquires. [ Mahatma Ghandi was a good example.]
Such a man will have encountered, or more accurately, sought out the super-noetic wisdom of esotericism; a wisdom which once operated openly on the Earth. He understands the profound importance of that ancient wisdom, having its origins in the ancient peoples of the Earth – with lost civilizations forgotten in the mists of time. Yet, in many ways he will live a very normal life.
He is a man who carries a strong respect for women, and demonstrates this at every opportunity. For him, the Divine Feminine Principle is profound and he has forged its ethos into the fabric of his Being. Now he is a balanced man.
Through great personal effort and the distillation of a new intelligence in himself, he is no longer fooled by shallow societal stratagems, nor is he taken-in by pseudo-cultural pursuits: he has opened his heart centre.
He follows his own path, unimpressed by the myopic opinions of others; he has founded a new centre-of-gravity in himself; outside of the race-consciousness. He understands the need for forgiveness and patience! He is loyal, reliable, courageous; he acts when others are frozen by fear or self-doubt. He never exploits others, nor allows himself to be exploited – he is fair in his dealings with others and never manipulates or blackmails.
This man will carry genuine compassion for others and real empathy too. He is never too busy to stop and help a stranger in distress, because he knows that, beyond social convention he and the stranger are one.
He is not interested in having power over others or controlling people in a self-interested fashion. He does not need to be controlling in order to feel good about himself; his motivations come from a set of internally generated principles and not from culture-bound attitudes and prejudices.
He is capable of speaking his truth and will not shy away from this when the situation demands it. He has the power of adaptive thinking or thinking outside the box. His intelligence comes from a mixture of action and profound contemplation of life – he is no armchair philosopher. Conversely, he conserves his energy, not throwing it away on banal societal pursuits or in the micro-politics of his neighbors disputes – time and energy are easily stolen by such trivia.
Nature in all of its myriad facets is of great significance for him; both in terms of conservation and enjoyment. He is a champion of animals and treats them with the greatest respect.
A man of real inner-power is rounded in his experience and his development; he creates confidence, respect and trust wherever he goes; he understands the need for wisdom, forgiveness, compassion and sensitivity. He will be first and foremost a free spirit and he will help those with whom he comes into contact to be free. He will be a beacon to others who sense and value his spirit of freedom.
None of the above means he is a ‘soft-touch’ for others to take advantage of; despite his kindness and awareness, he is not a person to trifled with – this man often has a ‘sting in his tail’. He will often resort to stratagems which are unusual and clever – taking others by surprise.
Although a man of non-violence; he will defend himself and his kin in difficult situations, better than most men. His greatest weapon is his mind; possessing an awareness and a well-honed experience of the world, his senses and instinctive skills are sharp.
He is often the first to foresee danger in a situation surrounded by ‘hard-men’, where they rush in, he will step-back and patiently observe.
Because such a man usually has great communication skills, he can often resolve a negative situation through focused dialogue or turn a negative scenario into a positive one – through the force of his own presence.
He is understanding and inclusive in his attitude towards others, and so he is often well received by strangers and friends alike. Through his obvious powers of intelligence, he is persuasive and commands respect.
These are just some of the elements, qualities and abilities to be found in a man of inner-power – the more developed spiritually a man is, the more of those powers and qualities he will command. Other men are sometimes apprehensive of him because he fits no known stereotype; he cannot be ‘pigeon-holed’ and that feels uncomfortable. Women are very comfortable with him since he has a well-developed understanding of life and the feminine principle!
