Our Greatest Oracles: Strong Women

By Evan Sanders


There's little more lovely, wonderful, and satisfying than being around ladies who have something awaken inside them - an excursion, a calling, an escapade. I've been pretty fortunate to expend a great deal of time with robust women - even raised by two who I would do anything for - women who've got their own dreams despite all the things they are fed mentally by our society, battle anyhow. They are unique in a world that is coaching them to be like everyone else. How incredible is that? Above all, women act as moment by moment integrity checkers for men, oracles even, and if you can surround yourself with a group of strong ladies, you will grow unbelievably, have your head lovingly cut off when you are surely not being the best man you could be, and you may experience life itself and its gigantic array of experiences. Like the sea they change and shift by the second, feelings and thoughts swarm...let that help you in finding your solidity. They will test you with their darkest moods and feelings - only to have them feel you are immovable, the mountain, always to be there no matter what and firm in your purpose. These are gifts, not hinderances. These strong relationships create you, but if you deflate - they'll destroy you. Seek them out - don't be threatened, women can move mountains. They are to be cherished.

The dynamics of my life in moving with feminine energy has changed just about 180 degrees for many reasons. But oh how I have shifted within. In the course of my life, I highly identified with female energy because I had two awfully strong and potent women in my life - my sister and my mum - who are deeply driven and talented in what they do. I even had a female dog who was my best friend when I was very little and tended to get along with girls better than I did with men. I took the best from my dad as well, similarly as driven, considerate, creative and incentivized and became a product of my environment and nurturing.

As I went through the deep chaos of my younger years, I was "all that changes and shifts. " My moods, my attitudes, my feelings, and thoughts...I have described it many times...were like a tornado inside me that declined to give up. Even on the rare occasion it did stop briefly, back up it would storm again. Mix 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 eventually found my way to writing.

But very recently 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 actually was. This has not only opened up my world, but has opened up the worlds of the guys who live around me. There's an idea that has entered into my mind that has stuck with me for months now, and it's the concept of the mountain. That solidity - identifying with what doesn't change in this world. The undoubtable stableness of being totally 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 eventually begins to understand this concept, I can tell you...mountains don't just move in front of him...he becomes the mountain. Whatever occurs around him swirls and yet he is completely calm, snug, and remains embedded in his deepest desire. To find your purpose is far 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 on the planet. It did for me. As fast as this hit - bloom - unfold - open - closing the chasm - joy - truth - integrity - tenacity through anything.

Women are similar to the flowing ocean. They shift, change, and adjust by the second. In just a moment, a tranquil ocean can turn into a sequence of rogue waves. As a man, you are there in your miniscule boat wondering how the heck you're going to climb up that wave before it crests. Women are life itself. They offer, literally, what it implies to be alive. Why do you really think they call it Mother Nature? Everything that shifts around you is moving energy, a type of power that surely is uniquely feminine energy and can be accessed. But those waves for guys who do not understand what it truly means to be the captain of their ship can be rocked directly out of the their boat - I cannot tell you how frequently I have been tossed out of my boat or perhaps even bailed before the wave hit. But give a person a purpose, and that wave begins to seem like fun. Also, that wave can evoke your deepest purpose.

This is the part that truly has changed my life fully.

Each day I sit comfortable down and write, I am totally driven by a variety of energy that's certainely very different from anything that I have experienced before. I sit in my tiny chair outside on my porch...close my eyes, and breathe as deep deep down into my stomach as I can. I find that density - that solidity - that love - that emptiness. There's this type of energy that if you focus upon it deep enough, it is almost a low frequency lull...that is incredibly deep and dynamic. A wavelength that really has has existed far before all of us and one that will absolutelybe here forever after. I will feel it circulate through me infrequently when I am on the mat. Then, I open and observe the things that are going on around me or start to run through the days events - using all the amazing things that unpredictably changed - and get impressed by all of that energy. That energy runs straight through my writing - and yet, all at the same time, I am here, fully grounded in my place - living as if I was dead.

Fear, in my heart, disappears.

There I am grounded, in my deepest purpose, absolutely and definitely electrified by the women around me and that feminine energy...creating, loving seriously and open to all uncertainty. It's this dynamic, the one between the male and the female - and my using both - which 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 did not know existed. Floods of amazing people have showed up in my life and I can see the whole thing morphing, only to grasp that it will all change and pass...and that's wonderfully okay.
