Life's Greatest Oracles: Strong Women

By Evan Sanders


There's little more attractive, fantastic, and satisfying than being around ladies who have something awaken deep inside them - a journey, a calling, an adventure. I've been pretty lucky to spend a lot of time with robust women - even raised by two great ones who I would do absolutely anything for - women who have got their own dreams regardless of all of the things they are fed mentally by our society, bloom anyhow. They are unique in a world that's coaching them to be like everything and everybody else. How awesome is that? Above all, women act as moment by moment integrity checkers for men, oracles even, and if you can surround yourself with a bunch of very strong women, you will grow unbelievably, have your head lovingly cut off when you aren't being the best man you really could be, and you'll experience life itself and its vast variety of experiences. Like the 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 you are immovable, the mountain, always going to be there irrespective of what and firm in your purpose. These are gifts, not hinderances. These strong relationships create you, but if you really deflate - they're going to destroy you. Seek them out - don't be intimidated, women can move mountains. They are to be cherished.

The dynamics of my life in moving with feminine energy has changed almost 180 degrees for lots of reasons. But oh how I have shifted inside. Throughout the course of my life, I highly identified with strong feminine energy because I had two extremely strong and powerful women in my life - my sister and my mom - who are incredibly driven and proficient in what they do. I even had a female dog who was my best friend when I was little and really tended to gel with girls better than I did with men. I took the best from my dad as well, almost equally as driven, loving inventive and motivated and became 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 declined to quit. Even if it did stop briefly, back up it would storm again. Combine that with lacking deep purpose after my baseball career stopped and an enormous mess was made. So I crashed like the raging ocean for a while...and at last found my way to writing.

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

When a man ultimately begins to understand this concept, I am able to 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, snug, and remains deep set in his deepest wish. 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 color your relations, your friendships, your family dynamics, and how you show up in this fantastic world. It absolutely did for me. As quickly as this hit - bloom - unfold - open - closing the chasm - joy - inner wisdom - integrity - perseverance through anything.

Women are like the ocean. They shift, change, and adjust by the second. In just a second, a tranquil ocean can change into a collection of rogue waves. As a man, you are there in your small rowboat wondering how the heck you are going to climb up that wave before it crests. Women are life itself. They offer, literally, what it means to be alive. Why do you really think they call it Mother Nature? Everything that shifts around you is moving energy, a type of energy that is uniquely feminine energy and can be accessed. But those waves for men that do not and won't understand what it truly means to be the captain of their ship can be rocked straight out of their little boat - I can't tell you how often I have been tossed out of my ship or perhaps even bailed before the wave hit. But give a man a purpose, and that wave starts to appear like fun. Additionally, that wave can inspire your most important purpose.

This is the part that has changed my life utterly.

Each day I sit right down and write, I am completely driven by a kind of energy that is 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, you will find a low frequency lull...that is surprisingly deep and powerful. A wavelength that really has has existed far before everybody and one that will absolutelybe here forever after. I'll feel it circulate through me infrequently when I'm on the mat. Then, I open and observe the things that are going on around me or begin to run through the days events - using all of 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 in fact already dead.

Fear, in my heart, disappears.

There I am grounded, in my deepest purpose, completely and definitely electrified 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 really has taught me more than anything else. This has opened me up, modified my friendships and helped me continue to discover parts of myself that I never knew existed. Floods of people have showed up in my life and I can see the whole thing morphing, only to understand that it will all change and pass...and that is wonderfully OK.
