The Shadow in Woman
Man discovered a long time ago that if he can make woman doubt herself, then he can manipulate her to his will. He’s achieved this by making her emotional through his inability to reach her deepest centre in physical love. The female principle that is the virtue behind the physical body of woman is, in most cases, now obscured by a shadow.
A shadow is a dark area which appears when light is blocked from its source. The source of light within the body is the divine spark which illuminates the matter within the form. Whenever we touch this inner radiance it’s always as a direct communion with the beauty and wonder of life. The source of divine light is straight and unwavering, but bends and becomes diffused when it enters the degenerative energy of the emotional body. This mass of past living experience has the effect of casting shadows on the walls of the subconscious which gyrate and twist in the diffused light like shadow puppets. These psychic contortions are mimicked through the jagged, sexually explicit dance performances by some of today’s popular entertainers.
The appalling consequences of sex without the reassuring presence of love arise in a woman as self-doubt and periods of dark depression. In desperation, she has babies to fill the void of an empty existence; or else, joins man in the workplace. As woman’s inclination is to follow the example of her man, she replicates the male behaviour trait of competing with others in the world. She mistakes this action for personal empowerment, without realising the price is the abdication of woman’s divine power as custodian of love on earth. Thus does woman, unknowingly, relinquish her command of love even though she may convince herself that she’s in control – until perhaps, depleted of her virtue, she weeps in despair at what she’s become.
Man, having built the world to his own specifications, copes more readily with the sexually charged environment of his male-induced creation. The stress of being in the world gravitates in a female to the region of the vagina, and can sometimes be registered as a background agitation or inner tension. In extremes, this feeling can intensify and induce a woman to masturbate to relieve the discomfort, or to find some other emotional release to offset the pain. Sex without love contaminates the female subconscious through the formation of emotional clots which become lodged within the passage of the vagina. These clots pulsate when sexually aroused through excitement, which replicates the male phallus becoming erect and predatory at the prospect of an emotional feed. Furthermore, when woman becomes more deeply attached to the intensity of sex without love, her hormones secrete a hybrid form of testosterone that alters her psychic frequency, which then becomes predominately male. It’s this male-induced sexual aberration which often triggers a preference in some women for a lesbian relationship.
The shadow of emotionality in woman attaches her to an impossible dream of personal love. When the shadow is able to influence the selection of a partner, she will draw to herself circumstances in the relationship that bring to the surface the hidden emotional fears and insecurity. In her natural state, woman emanates a power which brings to her a man who represents her formless love within. When in touch with her love she is one with the earth and the cosmos, which will provide her with all that is needed for her pleasure and fulfilment in life. This idealised love cannot be realised universally – only in the individual woman who has suffered enough from the demands of sex without love.
When a woman is true to love and refuses to be available for man’s selfish satisfaction, she will inevitably invoke his wrath. He’ll even accuse her of being frigid if she refuses his sexual demands. And the tragedy is that she often believes him and sinks into depression and self-doubt. Nevertheless, to emerge from the shadow and unite with her true nature, a woman must be prepared to make a stand for love. Never again must she entertain an excitable, impatient man who is unable through his actions to demonstrate that he’s worthy of her love. She has to see that the cause of her discontent and heartache has been her willingness in the past to surrender herself to the sexual force of men instead of the power of love in man.
