The Genius of Patriarchal Consciousness
The genius of patriarchal consciousness lies in its insidiousness.
All women to some extent, have internalised ideas of success. productivity, power and autonomy as it was presented to us by an order that did all it could to suppress the feminine.
As a sheer means to survival, most women would’ve aligned with what they thought to be the greatest power (which lay with the men for a very long time) while their innate power was kept hidden, not only from the world but from themselves, which has been a big contributor in keeping this stubborn consciousness alive for so long.
Breaking up with patriarchy is a painful and scary process, but it can be done. Regaining your innate feminine power is the most magical, liberating and intoxicating journey a woman can go on.
In what ways are you aligning with patriarchal ideals?
Do you find yourself still pitting yourself against other women? Do you find yourself spending a damaging amount of time, energy and resource on how you look? Are you so busy mothering, your kids, your partner, your community that you have no time to reflect on the real source of you own happiness?
This is not intended to shame any woman. We have all participated, we can all start to break free. Not because we’re falling prey to the same ideals that make men sick, disconnected and living in fear, but free as a result of brining the feminine back into the light. Her healing, her energy, her force, her wrath, her cyclical nature, her love, her beauty, her pleasure and her power.
