Matriarchal play


The way of the matriarch is to place social value on those who have the ability to learn and grow in issues of health. The Matriarch is the one who knows how to hold  a balance with power for a group or nation. Her wisdom is wholeness and heart power. When we consider the matriarch in this way we think of what is needed to bring the value of self-care and health for all. Those who need support are often looking to those who seek power and do not think that the issue is of sort. The importance of the matriarch places value in holding the good of all not personal gain. Those who gather in this light  know  the value of women  who create goodness and sensitively  support healing and relating in community. These will forever be the heart of mother.


If we look upon the nature of feminine power we may know in common language that feminism is a movement born of political conflict. This conflict is still in play for the power of feminine consciousness continues to seek respect and reveal the need for presence and protection. How we reveal power in political conflict defines order. If this is to dominate and control then the issue of how to support feminine consciousness is of great importance. The reason for this is that the term matriarchy is defined as a social order dominated or ruled by women as is the term feminism. We’ve come to describe the feminine consciousness formlessly by making use of patriarchal terms that lack the way of understanding.  The nature of the feminine is organically not of this way for the root of feminine consciousness is experienced as nurturance. Those who seek to know a political support that is only in dominance will find feminism of comfort.

 

To nurture is to give and hold in warmth and kindness. When this is not the case there is conflict in our way of knowing goodness, security and spiritual power. The ultimate consciousness known to humankind is of a graceful order that seeks to harmonise and support consciousness and the development of good health. When this order is compromised we end up holding a vessel that not capable of maintaining right relationship to the whole. In other terms when the feminine is disrespected there is disorder and suffering. In most systems the matriarch is the one who holds household and serves to maintain relations with community. The role of the feminine in spiritual teaching holds sensitivity to the whole as household under the greater good. When we seek to know  spiritual power there is need to have  right relationship and consciousness in order to maintain relating with nurturance.

If the goodness of heart known as feminine is disrupted and removed from being held with care, we end up losing the heart and soul of society. The role of feminine power is crucial for maintaining heartfelt awareness. In spirituality this is the foundation  on which religious order is founded. In spiritual terms the light of kindness is the way.

As the beauty and scent of a flower touches the heart, we instinctively know a feminine power of an intelligent order. The use of feminine consciousness is of concern as we engage issues of spiritual care. As feminine issues evolve into supporting women to take stock and make use of their personal power to ensure livelihood, the roots of consciousness come to surface in old ways.  

​What the world is looking for is a way to support this power and know  a way to protect and heal. The way of the matriarch is to allow for the good for all. The Matriarch is only in her goodness when she is secure with issue of purpose and power. 

What we look to understand is how to know this power and make it of importance when we see so much pain and suffering in the physical world.
