The Patriarchy Ends With You
We owe our existence to our ancestors who dominated the environment, the people and creatures around them and even their lovers and families for their personal pleasure and gain. It was very ugly and a high price was paid, but our species is established and undeniably successful on the planet today.
The patriarchy takes what it wants and then blames the victim. It uses might to ensure it is right. These principles got us this far and they are ready to be left behind.
Patriarchy is but a tool in the hands of nature, one it uses when it needs to, and one it sets aside when it no longer serves.
There are no more worlds to conquer. Today the obsession with winning and accumulating fame and fortune threatens our survival.
Those still steeped in the patriarchal mindset hold most of the political power, and are currently competing with each other to own the established pie. Most people today, particularly those of older generations and regardless of gender, are possessed by the primitive patriarchal urge to selfishly acquire and control.
The last generation with this mindset is aging and becoming sick on it’s own excess and the patriarchy will die with them.
The patriarchy is in it’s death throws, and that’s why we’re seeing an extreme uptick of patriarchal insanity the past decade.
The dominate spirit going forward will be that of The Mother. The Mother recognizes all as an interconnected ecology bonded by needs, governed by boundaries and growing into an ecosystem where every member is interdependent and neither over-consuming nor going without.
Most children born in the past 20 years and going forward already have this mindset as default and humans of all ages are tapping into this perspective.
We are awakening to the reality that every person and every thing, below it’s personality and psyche, is a single consciousness. This is the essence of empathy, recognizing that it could be me in that body, that the consciousness who’s experiencing that pain is identical to that which experiences me. This is what it means to love another as yourself.
This is a truly revolutionary perspective. The new way, the way of The Mother, is not about charity, which is a patriarchal idea that generates a lot of waste and creates a dynamic of a few individuals who control all the resources and dependent individuals who remain in a victim state.
Interdependence is the way forward, resources will go where they are truly needed and do the most good. Those who receive those resources will use them to increase their ability to be of service to the whole and give back more than they receive. Charity is wasteful, interdependence is perfectly efficient.
The Mother is less concerned about food, shelter and water than emotional needs and meaning. Everyone is given the space and nurturance to do their own inner work, is offered genuine emotional connection and supported to offer the same to others. When everyone’s emotional needs are met they meet each other’s physical needs automatically and sustainably.
The new way is a world where emotional needs are the primary needs. When our emotional needs are met and our inner wounds are healed the desire to accumulate wealth and influence fades, and everyone just wants to be a part of the whole.
So what of the old guard; those possessed by patriarchal mindset? Well candidly, we need to stay out of their way until they finish killing each other. The writing is on the wall, they don’t win in the end, their philosophy is bankrupt and barren. There’s no way to fight them without joining them.
The death throws of the patriarchy don’t have a lot to do with us. Their insanity is our motivation to turn our attention inward and develop personal meaning while the outer world sorts itself out. This absurdly heartless political climate is our reminder to root out our own inner selfishness. They are creating the contrast that compels us to turn toward what matters and leave their world behind.
Yes there’s a lot of needless suffering, destruction of the planet, war and insanity being wrought today, and it’s probably going to get worse before it gets better. But that’s the patriarchy’s way. He knows he’s no longer relevant, that he has to exit for the good of what he fathered. And yes, he’s going to punch the drywall and burnout his tires, but he is leaving. That’s just his way. Believe it or not, he’s being very self sacrificing as he makes his noisy exit. Don’t fight the patriarchy which only feeds it, simply leave it behind and wait for the rest of the planet to catch up.
You are the altruism revolution, the transition is happening inside you right now. As your inner world changes the whole world changes.
Just walk away.
