Conservatise/Liberal/Feminine/Masculine-Equal But Not The Same

After listening to an audiobook called Gift from the Sea: 50th Anniversary Edition by Anne Morrow Lindbergh, I was re-inspired by her empowered femininity to recognize my own mix of masculinity and femininity as well as my own mix of conservatism and liberalism. I experience such a sense of beauty when I ponder the tapestry of humanity and how all these and many more threads are woven together in such infinitely magnificent ways.

Unfortunately, there is a battle still waging between masculinity and feminity & liberalism and conservatism.  I believe it boils down to a combination of two factors.  One factor is the Ego's desire to feel separate and view differences as wrong or at least not as ideal.  This is a shame since embracing the beauty of our differences allows for more beauty as well as allowing our own inner balance to thrive.  I know that while my dominant nature is masculine and liberal, I am quite aware of and comfortable with my feminine and conservative nature as well.  The other factor is when these natures become disempowered which leads to the desire to dominate the other natures.  

Black Lives Matter, Me Too, etc. which are powerful movements to create more equality can easily become disempowered and pendulum swing too far inspiring dramatic pushbacks and creating even less harmony.  That being said, even healthy empowered equality movements will get pushback from those that are disempowered and want to keep things the way they are, so as with most things, it's not black and white but more nuanced. The same is true of Left and Right ideologies.  We appear to have gone further left and right in politics than ever before. Alt Right, Far Left and all the different political groups like Progressives, Tea Partiers, etc. have made things more and more confusing.  The good news is, we have more choices. The bad news is, dramatic swings scare the heck out of folks more in the middle and especially folks that are on the far side of the other field.

Not sure where this is going but I get a strong sense that a starting place for healing is to recognize that Masculine/Feminine and Liberal/Conservative are 4 natural aspects of humanity.  In order for humanity to be fully self-realized, we must embrace them all.  I believe that each of us contains a blend of all of these to varying degrees. Yes we will all gravitate differently.  Still, there is no place for making any of these wrong.  We can call out virus' like Toxic Masculinity and Free Speech Suppression which ultimately make us weaker and more divided but not associate the virus with the whole.

Anyway, I would love to take this discussion further and inspire us to evolve more into the harmonious humanity we are destined to be.  It's going to happen eventually. I'd just like to be a part of it happening sooner than later.
