Life's Oracles And Strong Women

By Evan Sanders


There is nothing more attractive, fantastic, and satisfying than being around ladies who have something awaken within them - an excursion, a calling, an expedition. I've been pretty fortunate to expend a great deal of time with powerful women - even raised by two who I would do absolutely anything for - women who've got their own dreams notwithstanding all of the crazy things they are fed incessantly by our society, strive anyhow. They are entirely unique in a world that's trying it's best to coach them to be like everybody else. How awesome is that? Above everything else, women act as moment by moment integrity checkers for men, oracles even, and if you can surround yourself with a group of strong ladies, you may grow beyond belief, have your head lovingly cut off when you are surely not being the best man you might be, and you may experience life itself and its massive selection of experiences. Like the unpredictable ocean they change and shift by the second, feelings and thoughts swarm...let that help you find your solidity. They'll test you with their darkest moods and feelings - only to have them feel that you're immovable, the mountain, inevitably going to be there no matter what and firm in your purpose. These are gifts, not hinderances. These strong relationships create you, but if you deflate - they're going to destroy you. Seek them out - don't be threatened, women can move mountains. They are to be respected.

The dynamics of my life in moving with true feminine energy has changed just about 180 degrees for lots of reasons. But oh how I have shifted deep inside. Throughout the course of my life, I highly identified with female energy because I had two amazing and very strong and dynamic women in my life - my sister and my mother - who are incredibly driven and proficient in what they do. I even had a female dog who was my best friend when I was very little and inclined to get along with ladies better than I did with men. I took the best from my amazing dad too, equally as driven, thoughtful, creative and persistent and changed into a product of my environment and nurturing.

As I went through the turmoil of my younger years, I was "all that changes and shifts. " My moods, my perspectives, my emotions, and thoughts...I have described it many times...were like a tornado within me that absolutely refused to cease. Even when it did stop momentarily, back up it would storm again. Blend that with lacking deep purpose after my baseball career finished and a big mess was made. So I crashed like the raging ocean for a while...and eventually found my way to writing.

But very recently this dynamic shifted supremely as the bubbling up of my purpose came to me and I started to read, understand, and practice what true masculine energy really was. This has not only opened up my world, but has opened up the worlds of the great men who live around me. There's an idea that has entered into my mind that has stuck with me for months now, and it's the concept of the mountain. That solidity - identifying with what doesn't change in this world. The undoubtable stability of being completely grounded in your position, a mirror to life itself, empty and truly ready to express your deepest passions and purpose - which is the expression of love itself.

When a man ultimately begins to understand this way of looking at things I can tell you...mountains don't just move in front of him...he becomes the mountain. Whatever might happen around him swirls and yet he is completely calm, planted, and remains deep set in his deepest desire. To find your purpose is way more than just what you do for work - it's going to be a direct leader in your life and will influence your relations, your friendships, your family dynamics, and how you show up in this fantastic world. It sure did for me. As fast as this hit - bloom - unfold - open - closing the chasm - joy - inner wisdom - integrity - determination through anything.

Women are like the sea. They shift, change, and adjust by the second. In just a moment, a tranquil sea can become a collection of rogue waves. As a man, you are there in your miniscule rowboat wondering how the heck you might climb up that wave before it crests. Women are life itself. They offer, literally, what it implies to be alive. Why do you think they call it Mother Nature? Everything that shifts around you is moving energy, a form of energy that's uniquely female and can be accessed. But those waves for men that don't understand what it truly means to be the captain of their ship can be rocked straight out of their boat - I cannot tell you how many times I have been tossed out of my boat or even bailed before the wave hit. But give a man a purpose, and that wave starts to seem like fun. Moreover, that wave can inspire your most significant purpose.

This is the part that truly has changed my life fully.

Every single day I sit right down and write, I am totally driven by a variety of energy that's very different from anything that I have experienced before. I sit in my small chair outside on my porch...close my eyes, and breathe as deep into my stomach as I can. I find that density - that solidity - that love - that emptiness. There's this sort of energy that if you focus intently upon it deep enough, it's almost a low frequency lull...that is surprisingly deep and powerful. A wavelength that really has has existed far before all of us and one that will absolutelybe here forever after. I can feel it circulate through me often when I am on the mat. Then, I open and observe the things that are going on around me or start to run through the days events - using all the things that adjusted - and get inspired by all of that energy. That energy runs straight through my writing - and yet, all at the same time, I really am here, absolutely grounded in my place - living as if I was already dead.

Fear, in my heart, disappears.

There I am grounded, in my deepest purpose, absolutely and utterly impressed by the women around me and that female energy...creating, loving deeply, and open to all doubt. It's this dynamic, the one between the male and the female - and my tapping into both - that has taught me more than anything else. This has opened me up, changed my relationships, and helped me continue to discover parts of myself that I did not know existed. Floods of people have showed up in my life and I can see the entire thing morphing, only to understand that it'll all change and pass...and that is wonderfully okay.
