Masculine Energy
Basically masculine energy is assertive energy, it is active energy that is electric in that it is projected outwardly rather than reflective and a drawing inward like that of the magnetic feminine energy usage. Where the feminine energy is associated with lunar cycles, masculine energy is associated with solar cycles. It is also associated with the elemental forces of Air in the East and Fire in the South on the Medicine Wheel.
The masculine perspective is one that is external, things must be seen, touched, and experienced before they are accepted so it's linear perception. What is experienced is through the logic of the mind and physical reactions to things. If accepted it is taken to heart.
Endurance tests of strength and prowess along with protective focus are very much a part of the masculine path in rites of passage. In rites that initiate a young man to manhood, Vision Questing or Sun Dancing we can witness the endurance that is called for as men prove themselves worthy or sacrifice in ways that are physically painful for them. Often these rites call for life or death situations to be faced, overcoming extreme fear to find their courage, strength and stamina. Great preparation goes into this and weeks or months can be called for as that is undertaken. Conditioning of the mind, body and emotional state of the individual will be called for. The spiritual focus is imperative and the warrior framework is foundational.
I'm inviting the men in our community to discuss how they experience their masculine energy along sacred lines. Perhaps share some of the testings you've been through and the perceptions of your spiritual teachings. While I've studied the men's ways I would be doing comparisons with the feminine ways to express the differences and I think it will help the community immensely to understand this topic from your perspective relative to individual experiences. Thank you to all who willingly contribute to this forum.
