Summary

The web content discusses the concept of dual gender energies within individuals, emphasizing the importance of embracing both feminine and masculine aspects to achieve wholeness.

Abstract

The article "Feminine and Masculine Aspects Within Us" delves into the idea that every person embodies both feminine and masculine energies, a notion reflected in various cultural and psychological perspectives. Drawing from Eastern traditions, such as Shakti and Shiva or Yin and Yang, and Western thought, particularly Carl Gustav Jung's Anima and Animus, the text suggests that personal growth and self-realization come from integrating these energies. The process of acknowledging and embodying both aspects is referred to as 'individuation' by Jung. The article also touches on societal influences on our understanding of gender roles and encourages self-reflection on the internalized images of masculine and feminine. It posits that our inner world shapes our external reality and that by becoming more self-aware, we can interact with life more consciously, fostering healthier relationships and societies.

Feminine and masculine aspects within us

Gender concept is a physical-based expression of how we identify ourselves.

As reflected in eastern traditions as well as the western modern view presented by Car Gustav Jung, every being is made of these two aspects, the feminine and masculine energy.

Eastern traditions call these energies Shakti (feminine) and Shiva (masculine), or Yin (feminine) and Yang (masculine).

Jung, as a representative of western thought, calls them Anima (feminine aspect within men) and Animus (masculine aspect within women).

What is common in all these beliefs and views is that in each of them it is believed, that an individual becomes whole when both of these aspects or energies are fully embraced and embodied in one’s life.

Jung called that process and ‘individuation’.

As every individual is a part of society and we learn through society, about ourselves and about others. We also learn about what feminine and masculine is.

This picture within we create and live with is based on what we observe, what we observe within our families, relationships, businesses and societies.

We tend to create our image of masculine and feminine based on the physical gender, perhaps forgetting or being unaware, that we have both aspects within.

What we carry within, we reflect in our lives.

What we learn, we become.

❓What picture of feminine do you carry within?

❓What picture of masculine do you carry within?

❓How does feminine and masculine are represented in your life?

❓What do you observe in society in terms of masculine and feminine?

I do believe that we create reality from within and at the same time we constantly interact and influence one another. We can observe and learn from others, but in fact, we only have an influence on our own thoughts, emotions and actions.

The more aware we become of who we truly are within, the more consciously we interact with life.

I wish you all a beautiful day ☯️

I truly believe that how we create the world, depends on who and how we are within ourselves. The creation comes from within. This is not just talking, it is science.

I love encouraging other people to reflect and understand themselves on deeper levels as I believe every experience in the so-called external reality starts within ourselves. When we are aware of ourselves, we create healthy relationships with others and therefore, healthy societies.
