A Corner of the World focusing on Global Events
This page will provide on-going articles devoted to addressing current events from a space that is housed in and from spirituality. Its purpose is to instill within you a new capacity: to begin to translate your life spiritually. This opens new doors of understanding, and re-sets priorities for the decision-making process. It invites you to look beyond what you can see, and even beyond what you may feel; it invites you to enter a realm that is quiet, fluid in thought; a realm that offers reflective, contemplative support. In this way, you may find new perspectives that bring you greater understanding, and from that greater understanding, then, that provide you a way to work with what is in the palm of your hand. If external reality’s bite is not yet hard enough to have your attention, you won’t even have made it to this page.
If it has you in its grip: welcome. Viewpoint: The Patriarchy This is an immense subject. There are so many windows to look through when addressing portrayal of what the patriarchy embraces. Each facet is multidimensional in its own right and character. Combine facets, and you have a seemingly unapproachable volume. The question is, what approach into it shall we take. Whatever approach we move with, will hold it’s own ‘body of mind’ or body of beliefs that are in full
operation; beliefs a mind holds to support and sustain the facet on the table, which is ‘up’ for being illuminated. Shall we consider it from the archetypal level – and include mythology? Absolutely.
Joseph Campbell’s brilliance shines through here. This facet has had the light shone upon it. Look what it took for him to capture, harness, language and disseminate this one facet. Shall we consider it through high-consciousness at the level of an astrology blueprint and its translations;
that time-line bookmarking potential shifts on the cosmic clock, in its movement NOW throughout the galaxy? No question. This reflect where we are in our junctures At an individualized level of soul’s purpose. Shall we approach through the historical, continual fall of Man which keeps repeating itself? We are doing that now. This is the ultimate plague humanity carries as its burden into the New World. It presses the group and individual psyche to seek new pathways. This too is occurring.
It is no longer about one facet or another; this has been the on-going extrication process through every
point of brilliance which has been translated intellectually in the given segments people seek out. It is about the whole of the body that is the patriarchy and the shift it is within.

Where are you in understanding what the patriarchy is? Find out. Explore it in all the ways you are drawn. The array of belief housed ~more correctly entrenched~ as true and on which the spiral of this planet itself
is rotating ~ that axis ~ is shifting. Consider the time-line of our planetary shifts through the eye of the patriarchy historically.
What is it that was suppressed, depressed, virtually annihilated at a level of outer power and its
personification? The feminine. The feminine principle. This is not about whether you are a man or a woman. It is about whether the inner feminine nature ~ as a man or woman ~ is actively operating within you. This is ‘the matriarch within the patriarch’. Where are you personally in your awareness of its existence. What has been suppressed by the family structure, by society, by tradition and religion – all of it – what
in your life has suppressed perhaps even the vague notion there is such a thing and from there, has molded a life without that construct alive
and well within you. This is a good area to explore. It is complicated. It is not complex.
May this give you yet another point of view of the unfoldment in our very hands. Look at the Inquisition: the imposition of high mind, the patriarchy –- in the form of religious men,
holding ultimate power through the Church, and in the name of God, taking out everything in their way. This is not too unlike what is occurring now, to put it mildly. So then one has to look farther ‘into’ what is really going on.
Have you done that? It is a devastating view, humanly. This reverberates multidimensionally. History has already been written through the old patriarchy. It’s over if you allow it to be so ~ by moving through your own internal shifts. You might ask, if we’re in ‘a patriarchal shift’, Where is it going? What is shifting? Does it mean no more patriarchy? No! It means one holding the matriarchal within it. That is where your work, the reaching, the explorations that exist there for you, ARE. Take a risk: take a peek. Seek to know something beyond yourself. One of the ways you may look to see Is how you are participating in your life. Are you operating through old habitual mindsets that ‘work’? How many you, Man, are as yet firmly entrenched in the ‘old patriarchy’ and hold woman as something outside
of yourself, and then project all your pictures and plagues upon that hologram? How many of you, Woman, are as yet firmly entrenched in the ‘old patriarchy’ and hold man as something
outside of yourself, and then project all your pictures and plagues upon that hologram? Yes, it is complicated ~ mostly by investments held historically. Where are you individually in your practice of the gift of life? Change is the only constant. It will drive you. How do you begin to even get a grip on the acceleration of change you are experiencing? Explore beyond what you mentally presume to be true: outside the box. Find a way out. The rise of the feminine is something in your heart. It is no longer political or right. It just is.

Second- hand conversation the other day at the table revealed the Oprah Winfrey Show, had visiting many
acclaimed feminist women of our 20th and 21st Century. Those women who have held the feminine principle politically, socially,
poetically, spiritually, were present and talking with Oprah. In came a phone call from a man who on national broadcast relays his awareness of what he has come to
understand in his spiral…the same principle this whole page is about. Let’s begin with the recognition of all men and women who have already passed through the Eye of the Needle,
who hold the light and consciousness of the shift we are within in its shining light that does not dim. People all over this planet silently participating in the Work, on purpose with their lives and expression.
There is a heightened sense of connection among people everywhere. The GLOBAL event of September 11th with catastrophic effects at the World Trade Center is multidimensional
in its impact. Connection seeks more of itself – look to find those holding the light. Look to see who is standing next to you. What is your part in that moment of contact that supports connection? What about you? Man, you who consider embarking upon your Path spiritually or perhaps you are already taking your steps,
though timidly? What is it ‘out there’ you don’t quite have a grip on. How can you facilitate shift within yourself. It is by taking your steps,
one at a time…working with what is in the palm of your hand. Woman: the same is true for you. Seek to know the inner feminine. Reclaim and then live the inner feminine principle inside of you. Consider something new for a change. How do you do that? First, become aware the principle exists. Look to see if this takes you into conflict at the thought of it Or Inquiry at the impulse to seek it out. If the ‘inner feminine’ is an active, receptive place within, and you don’t even know it exists, or negate
its existence through habits of the mind, that’s where you are on the spiral. Opening a receptivity brings you into the potential of direct inner experience ~ perhaps only a
millisecond’s worth of time ~ that touches upon the untouchable ~ the nature of light, and so into fractions of direct experience of your true Self. How could you ever GET to inner experience if you’re not open to receive it? It is more a question of what you want. You’ll want to ‘go farther out’ to find it…beyond the mind… Compiling it from consciousness as it reveals itself experientially. Taking that, and combine it with human history which you can choose to repeat, or choose to create
differently. Take that, and combine it with the presencing of the archetypes you identify with. Take that and combine it with the right use of will and you find all of it coming together into the
construct of time, space and our 21st Century. These are exciting times. How to move mountains? Work the internal space as well as the external. It’s in your hands. May you explore it.
