The first time I watched/heard this, the openness and raw honesty was a bit tough to take in—in a good way, but it was still tough. I’m also going to publish a video that describes the healing ceremony that took place called the Return of the Ancestors Ceremony from 2009. The healing was for the Earth and the male and female energies. It is quite profound, and I invite you to watch and connect to its message. Hugs, ~Jean

Based on the “Manifesto for Conscious Men,” a collectively-written document from a number of men who feel deep appreciation for the gifts of the feminine as a balance to those of the masculine. This document acknowledges many thousands of years of dominance of masculine power, and offers an apology for the suppression of women, in the spirit of a fresh start. The authors do not advocate the domination of men by women or feminine energy, but feel that a balance and equal respect for both energies will allow for a new wave of evolution on our planet.

So beautiful, I wonder how many men feel this way and how many want to?
The suppression of the Divine Feminine is an error that stands alone, and has no reciprocal error committed by women. However, there is error on both sides. And it would be a progression of love for both sides to continue to admit and work to correct other errors, and continuing errors. For, in the end, all is one.
In my view, the suppression of the Divine Feminine is the root of all our problems. The “error” of the Feminine at the moment has something to do with trying to compete equally in a man’s world where there is no respect for the Sacred Feminine. When in fact man needs to enter the Sacred Feminine and learn of Her ways first.
Its a start, but the real work is not reading a script about how men are going to respect the female. The real work for men is to actually feel and come to know the sacred feminine within themselves. How they do this or learn how to do this is not going to be easy because it requires getting out of the male mind and into the female feeling nature. It require a vulnerability that most men NEVER experience, that most men run away from the moment unknown feelings start to arise within themselves. Yet if we are going to heal and bring peace to the world, this is what man must do.
well…in trying to be sincere it seems to lack authenticity for me. It feels like a lot of naughty boys apologizing to mummy because they know it is the right thing to do, and yet, they do not know themselves enough to really bring their own authentic voices to the fore. It’s like the white liberal middle class clarion call “I’m not a racist!!!!”… but in fact, perhaps they are racist for never really questioning their own motives or understanding…for assuming that they even know what the term means. So too in gender politics – a lot of well-meaning men lack the personal and internal powers of observation that might bring forth something truly genuine. These are difficult notions to discern — race, gender — I applaud these men for starting the conversation…. keep working on it; for in truth, it is really a form of self-discovery.
Thank you for this message! It is heartily and well received. Yes, this is true WE can make miracles.
In love and respect,

“Offense” and “insult” can only be taken. They are simply perspectives and nothing more. Great insight can come from contemplating why there is such an emotional re-action to not being energetically fed, since it does indicate parasitic patterns of relationship, which are neither Respectful or Loving. Responsibility & Accountability for creating emotionally needy and insecure inner realities is being denied.
A nice beginning and yet… both, ridiculous and… a strange and painful process… It´s a long way discovering the outside feminine being part of oneself and vice versa…
There is a mighty misunderstanding taking place leading to gender roles and gender rituals even in ways of understanding. And a man talking of sorry in the way the film is revealing appears as if there is another ritualistic attampt keeping the status quo…
What is the status quo? The way it appears? Or it is perceived? Obviously unawareness is as fucked up as transgender talking, as if male and feminine is exceeded or transcended in a whatever mess of intelligent guessing…
The feminine is a permanent challenge to a male and vice versa. Transgenderism thus is understandable as attempt to overcome the pain of challenge while picking the raisins from different feminine perceptions: the mother, the priestess, the horny sex deity. Are you mad, might a woman ask, what perceptions do you have, dude?
So I could go on playing another game of justification on why I am not mad or not different mad than a woman asking me. It appears to me as if the game of gender justification is not satisfying to me anymore. When I was young I wanted to understand the feminine. My mother died when I was 28, my mother, my first model of the feminine in my life. I hated her for passing away without knowing, I only saw it later after many years. In this time I suffered from fights with feminine ones while at the same time I discovered transgenderism as possible healing for myself. With the result that I discovered: I hate myself, I have only my dick showing that I`m good enough. The feminine ones I met gave a shit for seeing my mind and soul. Actually that was the way I perceived… and understood.
I find it now that I experience a decline of libido more comfortable to me dealing with the feminine. I understand more the boring stupidity females have to suffer from men and vice versa. In the meanwhile I feel much more attracted by gentle and mindful women than man-eaters. I feel no urge anymore to be a hunter (Gosh, I was very successful in the subject…) of females, but a listener instead. It is still amusing to me perceiving if they want more. I have never experienced any ridiculous behaviour towards myself…but much laughter. The masculine might be different I guess…
I believe not in transgenderism anymore, but in mutual listening, and now I have the feeling I know what I´m talking about – listening. I have changed from a gentle pussy lover to a listener with profile, and I feel well with that. My libido is not torturing to me anymore. I´m still looking for understanding, but now more for letting go – letting go as it appears. And I have discovered that I still fear the feminine, which is out of control. Yes, I´m not without fear while dealing with the feminine…
Greetings from Germany!
I leave here the same comment as I wrote on my Facebook page:
It would be easy to say, this has nothing to do with me,
I am only a guest on this planet,
I have never or almost never mistreated anyone and definitely no one of the female gender.
But by immersing myself in the masculine energy, I am sure I can make a change.
This is one of my reasons for being on this planet.
I know this in my heart for a very long time.
