The Divine Masculine, The Opposite of Toxic
And Feminine For Contrast
“Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes.” ~The Kybalion
You’ve probably heard of the divine feminine, but what do you know about the divine masculine?
Many people can conceptualize the idea of toxic masculinity as opposed to divine masculinity and most are against its perversions, but understanding how to head towards divine masculinity is a much harder concept to grasp.
To get to grips with the concept let’s start by defining the energy of masculinity and femininity in contrast. The philosophy of the Duality of Polarity assists in revealing mutual oppositional energies of the feminine and masculine. Understanding the primal energies to simplify enabling feminine and masculine concepts to emerge clearly, unhindered by national, traditional, and even sexual constructs. We are made up of feminine and masculine energy formed in contrast of our physical female or male bodies, and via our inner anima and animus natures.
The Geometry of Energy effectively illustrates the divine feminine and the divine masculine energies. The four dimensions of geometry, when applied to measuring energies, can greatly aid our understanding of the internal, spiritual and psychological world. The four dimensions of geometry are points, lines, planes, and solids. Points and lines symbolize linear of masculine energy, whereas planes and solids symbolize the curvature of feminine energy.
The energy of the divine feminine is both receptive and creative.
The energy of the divine masculine is both reflective and projective.
The potential for these each of these energies to be displayed in one or the other, male or female, is clear, but the tendency of the archetypal energies lean in the above manner. There is creativity in masculinity just as there is reflectivity in femininity. The idea of inner feminine in man and inner masculine in woman is commonly understood as the anima and animus; essentially defined as inner nature containing elements of mutually dependent opposites. The Yin Yang illustrates this with the circles in the swirls.
“The Dao is also the way in the following sense – nothing exists except as a relation with other similarly postulated ideas. Nothing can be known in itself, but only as one of the participants in a series of events.” ~A. Crowley
The Dao is made up of feminine and masculine energies, each codependent, mutually arising within the other, and each potentiating the each other. The story of one without the other is fruitless and lacking. The same goes for the story of individuals seeking self-development and divinity as opposed to basic modality. A combination and contrast of energies is essentially required for comprehension and potentiation.
In order to better understand both genders of divinity it is helpful to contrast the feminine and masculine. The divine feminine, which may be as rare a character in the world as the divine masculine, is at least more well understood. The feminine energy is caring in an all-encompassing manner being capable total receptivity to all and adopting all energy. The divine feminine embraces everything in a motherly circle and is capable of creating a whole other being of solidity onto itself, with the obvious masculine potentiation combination of course. The divine feminine demonstrates the caring receptivity inclusion in a circle, and the creativity of generating a whole other being.
The divine masculine embodies reflective and projective energies. Instead of being receptive to energy the divine masculine reflects it. Instead of being creative of volume onto itself the divine masculine is projective of will. The divine masculine reflects energy like a shield or a mirror. And the divine masculine projects energy like a sword or like the singular focus of task at hand.
The divine masculine idea is of a peaceful warrior. This archetype has led to the masculine perversions where warriors are turned into institutionalized soldiers, where the righteousness of self-defense are obscured by war-minded perversions and abusive behavior. The perversions of the mission oriented masculine will is so commonly accepted as normal that women seeking equality among men will do so via military institutions of perverted masculinity. Consider the commonly accepted steering and stupefying in this frequently quoted comparison of love and war ‘all is fair in love and war.’
The difference between the divine masculine and the perverse masculine is the difference between a martial artist and a soldier. The most basic principle of martial arts is to never attack first. A soldier is paid to follow orders, to attack first, or whatever. The difference in divinity and being basic is being helpful and not hindering.
Basic and perverse masculinity clashes -with everything. The reflective energy of mirrors however provides illustration of the potential of the reflective masculine energy. Whatever is shown in the mirror is shined directly back. If the divine masculine is shown quality and caring energy it is reflected in return and if the divine masculine is attacked, with aikido like redirection, the attack is reflected and/redirected. If two or more mirrors are reflecting quality, helpful projected energy than the reflections magnify.
The divine masculine also is projective of energy. The projective energy is a direct willfulness of the individual into the collective. The divine feminine is creative of whole other beings and the divine masculine wills its own being. Of course, the creation of the divine feminine requires at least the energy of the masculine. In the same manner the projection of the divine masculine also requires aspects of the divine feminine, namely the circular inclusion of care and caring.
These energies are theoretic and helpful as a guide for comprehension of self and social situations in contemplation. In reality, in the moment, if there is any doubt as to what embodies divinity, simply seek to enact care. Self-defense and the defense of others requires care whereas bullying and attacking contain no care. The more you push forward compassion and care the more your divinity unfolds.
Further if you are a man contemplate adding receptivity and creativity to your form and flow to engage balance, and from balance refinement is possible. Alternatively if you are a woman contemplate adding reflectivity and projectivity to your own form and flow.
There is another expression in martial arts that embodies the divine masculine or at least presents a notion or rule that is preventative of the perverted masculine. The notion is to never attack in anger.
“In Aikido we never attack. An attack is proof that one is out of control. Never run away from any kind of challenge, but do not try to suppress or control an opponent unnaturally. Let attackers come any way they like and then blend with them. Never chase after opponents. Redirect each attack and get firmly behind it.” ~Morihei Ueshiba
