This is a compilation of several posts from my Facebook page @Rekha Kurup that I did July – Aug 2021. You are encouraged to hold these posts not in the Truth of the words but also, allow it to open questions, explorations, and insights in your inside.
7 of 10: Healing this Systemic Illness in Human Soul.
Patriarchy is a systemic illness in humanity reflected in all the conscious and unconscious inner and outer movement.
Wrapped in this movement is all of our un-integrated complex trauma pockets.
It is personal. It is collective. It is inter-generational. This requires a painful effort to first recognize patriarchy in oneself, because even though the expressions my vary – it is rampant in each and every person on the planet today,
Patriarchy it in-forms who we are, how we show up with each other.
So any shift in patriarchy has to involve a gradual in-formation within the individual of a new conscious movement. While we do that, we need to also, sit with each other in safe conscious spaces in relating – regulating – resonating this in-formation, so as to in-form it with new in-formation.
Slowly, gradually in time and space and across a few generations even, this conscious individual and collective in-formation will gain enough strength, competence, and stability to inform a consciously integrated out-formation – a new leadership pattern emerges.
How do I begin the work on this in-formation specifically to transform patriarchal – domination narrative. It requires human males and females to become more and more conscious of their in-formation of movement.
We need to Find our way – Re-turn to our Beginning (Home) inside, and Find new movement to and from there into the World.
It is an Everyday choice – choosing – learning.
FIVE STEPS that we can all begin to explore
1. Find tools & practices to SLOW DOWN immensely in our inner movements (elongate your exhale),
2. Choose to STEP OUT of the ways of the world (blame, shame, competition, othering, isolation, force) & how success – worth is defined. NO MORE ANYMORE,
3. Practice RADICAL COMPASSION for oneself & the other – (I am enough. There is enough),
4. Have a RADICAL COMMITMENT to recover back responsibility (ability to respond) for the un-integrated trauma history that moves inside of us. Learn to recognise it outside. Recover ability to respond to it with awareness of step 3 – Radical compassion.
5. Have RADICAL COURAGE to explore – learn – walk one’s own path founded in one’s inner compass in every possible scenario.
What!! Make it more clear. This all feels absolute.
In the next two posts, I will clearly state the way I am still discovering & learning to recognize and take responsibility for patriarchy – within and without me. Exhale….
I am hopeful …..
8 of 10: PROPOSED CURE FOR THE SYSTEMIC ILLNESS CALLED PATRIARCHY IN THE MAMMALIAN HUMAN SOUL.
Nature does not have this problem because everything, everyone and every aspect of nature is surrendered to the Beginning – Nature – Feminine without choice or choosing.
MOVEMENT FOR HUMAN MALES
MALENESS needs to SURRENDER to the Beginning – Nature.
MALENESS needs to SURRENDER to the Feminine – within.
MALENESS needs to SURRENDER to the rhythms of the Cosmic Womb.
MALENESS needs to SURRENDER to the biological rhythm of the Womb-Mother in a Human Female as something he does not have, will not have, and does not need to have. He learns to receive it from her.
NOTE- Here maleness does not mean masculinity. I am using it to refer to the distinct energy of the Y chromosome that emerged out of the need to separate out from the feminine. It gave the impetus of linearity.
MOVEMENT FOR HUMAN FEMALES
Human female needs to align, situate, tune into, and walk the Biology of her Feminine Womb – Nature’s Dark / Light rhythm on earth. She needs to make that her inner navigational compass. Then the Human female needs to make room to recognize, hold space, and befriend (subject to movement one) the quality of
Maleness (not masculinity) in a human male as something she does not have, will not have, and does not need to have. She learns to receive it from him.
Both these movements influence a cyclic flow of balance on the planet. It is individual, inter-relational, and inter-dependent.
One cannot happen without the other.
It is a new conscious movement that we have to co-explore, co-learn, co-express, and co-habit.
In the biology of Human female, I am becoming more and more present to my movement of stepping into my Womb Wisdom of the Beginning, and healing of my trauma in the disruption of my attunement to the womb rhythm. And I am also, recognizing maleness as something very distinctly unique to human males.
Sometimes its irks – irritates me. More often than not, my body feels unsafe, threatened, and withdrawn in the nearness of MALENESS that not grounded in the feminine. That un-grounded maleness is the cause of patriarchy.
While I can recognize and hold space for this MALENESS and its un-groundedness, I cannot directly do anything. This movement of grounding the Maleness in the Feminine is a movement utterly at the beck and call of males. Human Males have to start taking responsibility for it in their own self, and in their peers. There is no way out of this.
WHERE WILL WE GO FROM HERE. NATURE ALONE KNOWS.
