A Violent World

12-14-12

Today 20 schoolchildren and seven school administrators at the  Sandy Hook School in Connecticut were shot to death by a teenage gunman.  A few days ago, a shooting in a mall killed "ONLY" two nice, innocent people because the gunman's gun jammed, thus countless others were saved.  We know of many other violent incidents that are senseless, happening with no apparent reason other than the perpetrator snapped, lost their mind, became consumed in anger and violence, grabbed a massive weapon and took out their delusion and rage in the form of mass killings.

I don't know why this type of horror and tragedy takes place, but I do know this, and I write about it in Independence Ring. There is a core imbalance on our planet today.  Call it the gender gap, gender inequity, gender inequality.  Whatever you call it, solving the imbalance in the roles of men and women as seen by themselves and others is core to achieving national and world peace. 

All beings have an energy body, and a woman's energy body conducts light and energy more rapidly than a man's energy body, which is more fixed and condensed.  Women are naturally suited to handle power, as power by definition involves rapid change and transmutation.  Men are naturally suited to express a deep, rapturous love that is not just for one person but for all of life.

If women's power is repressed, and men's love is repressed, over time the result is toxic.  The gender role switch erupts in violence, depression and the axis of life spinning off its natural track. 

What can we do?  Gun control, yes.  More counseling, yes.  I would add more meditation practice.  That would help a great deal.  But mainly, men need to blossom and express love.  They are suited for it.  Women need to recognize they are vastly more powerful than they realize and find new pathways to express their power economically, politically, socially, .  And as these realizations develop and become part of life, gender equality means accepting infinite love in men and infinite power in women.  That is a balanced planet.
