The Purpose of Men


A man recently told me that he fervently believes that the purpose of men now is to be in service to the divine Feminine. I have another (male) friend who has said something similar and this has been sitting uncomfortably with me for a while.

Is the sun in service to the earth? No. The sun simply Is what it Is. It does its Sunny thing. That this helps to nourish and sustain the earth is not actually the sun’s purpose. 

As analogies go, there is a lot missing from this one (like how the feminine, in turn, benefits the masculine), but I think the idea stands (not in a ‘women revolve around men’ kind of way though!!!!).

Yes, there is a lot of (recent) history to make up for and the Feminine has long been neglected or dismissed, however, reversing the disempowerment will not help. Men are not here to be of service to the divine Feminine. Men are here to be the divine Masculine. Full stop. No one is here to be in service to anyone.*

A man who is strong in his Masculine serves the other people in his life by being so, but that is not his purpose. He is simply being who he is. The fact that a woman can flourish in the presence of his strength and power does not make this his reason for existing.

Our reason for being here is because we are here. Our existence is its own reason. Life is its own reason. We are here to be exactly Who We Are. 


(How we then take this into partnership is about 100 other blogs, but for now, I am simplifying just this aspect.) 
*Our souls yearn to service, but I do not think this is necessarily linked to our masculine or feminine aspect.
