Father Time - The Divine Masculine

I want to take this brief moment to share an important concept that has been coming up in my life recently. That is having a clear relationship with time, the divine masculine, the divine feminine and just how all those interrelate. What is the divine masculine? Very simply, it is time. What is the divine feminine? It is pure emotion, expression, and creation. I like to use the metaphor of music to relate these two. The masculine is the time signature. There’s nothing emotional about a time signature, but it sets a structure for music to be played. And the feminine, that’s the melody. In order to make music, the divine feminine, the melody needs to flow into the correct time signature.

A pitfall that many spiritual practitioners like myself can fall into today is connecting with the divine feminine so much that it creates imbalance. Our society has lost touch with the feminine and we’re eargerly yearning to reclaim it. We may dive in so deeply, and in doing so lose our connection with the divine masculine, lose our correct relationship and respect for time. We have to honor the concepts and structures of time in the given cultures that we live in and how the individuals we’re in relationship with connect with time.

If we’re always going based off what we feel is best for us or only following our emotions, we may step over the time structures that other people are living in. This occurs because we may fear the masculine structures of time are going to inhibit this beautiful, new, feminine expression that we’re discovering. The truth is, they’re not.

We need to have respect for time and even though it feels like, “I have to do this thing even though I don’t really want to do it. It’s not what I’m feeling…” If we just bring the beauty of our feminine into the respected time structures of the events and relationships of our life, then something beautiful can spring forth. That’s when music is made.

Otherwise, we may just be doing our own thing and though we may feel this divine connection with the feminine, we may simultaneously feel very isolated in that expression, whereas we are singing our own song for a one person audience. We want to embrace that masculine structure of time, allowing the beauty of the feminine within to unite, then we can really feel at one with the universe and other people.
