A few weeks ago I put forth a community vote for our next group call outside of the counsel. This call is going to center around shame that is wrapped around our sexuality and any traumas or deeply imprinted experiences with it. This is an area for men that perhaps carries more shame than anything else. This call will be vulnerable, it'll be uncharted waters, it will be raw, and real. I will set the stage and do a mini training for context and then we will dive in for personal shares. Shame has been a core wound that has been a central theme of my life. In that way it's been one of my biggest obstacles/teachers/gift bringers. The point of these calls is for healing in the sense that we bring what was in the dark and hidden to light so that it can be witnessed. Shame wants nothing more than to hide and never be seen. Shame is a deeply embedded parasite in the collective unconscious of humanity. We're here to normalize speaking to these things so that we can see that we share so much of the pieces that hold us back in our lives. Our sexual energy is connected to essentially every aspect of our lives whether we realize it or not. If there is shame carried in any capacity, it is certain we will mis-use our sexual energy or it will be leaking in ways that cause a lot of harm to ourselves or keep us operating at a much lower level than we could be. It is like a tumor that takes our life force and drains our energy. This pattern of shame attached to our sexual energy has been one of the biggest culprits of the horrible shit we see occurring on the planet. We are not separate from it, it lives in all of us and it takes men like us in these kinds of intentional environments to alchemize how it's being expressed within us. The invitation is to come on the call and even just observe and witness. If you don't feel comfortable to share that's OK, just bare witness. You may be surprised what surfaces. As always, when we gather like that, we go into the unknown and you'll feel and experience things that never were available in that way before. That is the magic of these. We are stirring the deep subconscious waters that are like the garden of eden. Whatever weeds are growing in there (wounds), they will continue to manifest in our reality until the wound is healed. In that way it is like mathematics. The bad code will keep creating disorder and chaos and we will wonder why similar experiences continue to happen.
