Life's Greatest Oracles: Strong Women

By Evan Sanders


There is very little more attractive, wonderful, and electrifying than being around ladies who have something awaken deep inside them - a trip, a calling, an adventure. I've been pretty supremely lucky to spend a lot of time with robust women - even raised by two who I would do anything for - women who have their own dreams notwithstanding all of the crazy things they are fed psychologically by our society, strive anyways. They're completely unique in a world that's trying it's best to coach them to be like everyone else. How amazing is that? Above all, women act as moment by moment integrity checkers for men, oracles even, and if you can surround yourself with a grouping of powerful ladies, you may grow beyond belief, have your head lovingly cut off when you are not being the best man you might be, and you will experience life itself and its massive array of experiences. Like the sea they change and shift by the second, intense feelings and thoughts swarm...let that help you in finding your solidity. They are going to test you with their darkest moods and feelings - only to have them feel you are immovable, the mountain, inevitably going to be there no matter what and firm in your purpose. These are gifts, not hinderances. These strong relationships create you, but if you weaken and deflate - they'll destroy you. Seek them out - don't be threatened, women can move mountains. They are to surely be cherished.

The dynamics of my life in moving with feminine energy has changed nearly 180 degrees for lots of reasons. But oh how I have shifted deep inside. In the course of my life, I highly identified with strong feminine energy because I had two awfully strong and potent women in my life - my sister and my mum - 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 hit it off with ladies better than I did with men. I took the best from my dad as well, almost equally as driven, thoughtful, creative and persistent and changed into a product of my environment and nurturing.

As I went through the chaos of my younger years, I was "all that changes and shifts. " My moods, my angles, my emotions, and thoughts...I have described it many times...were like a tornado inside me that refused to cease. Even if it did stop momentarily, back up it would storm again. Blend that with lacking deep purpose after my baseball career stopped and a big mess was made. So I crashed like the raging ocean for a while...and at last 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 true masculine energy actually was. This has not only opened up my world, but has opened up the worlds of the great 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 does not and will never change in this world. The undoubtable stableness of being totally grounded in your position, a mirror to life itself, empty and truly 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 can 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 fully calm, planted, and remains deep set 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 deepen your existing relationships your friendships, your family dynamics, and how you show up on the planet. It sure did for me. As quickly as this hit - bloom - unfold - open - closing the chasm - joy - inner wisdom - integrity - tenacity through anything.

Women are the same as the flowing ocean. They shift, change, and adjust by the second. In just a second, a tranquil ocean can become a collection of rogue waves. As a man, you are there in your tiny rowboat wondering how the hell you might climb up that wave before it crests. Women are life itself. They offer, literally, what it suggests to be alive. Why do you actually think they call it Mother Nature? Everything that shifts around you is moving energy, a type of power that's uniquely feminine energy and can be accessed. But those waves for men who do not understand what it really means to be the captain of their ship can be rocked directly out of the their little boat - I can't tell you how frequently I have been tossed out of my little boat or even bailed before the wave hit. But give a man a purpose, and that wave actually starts to appear like fun. Also, that wave can inspire your most significant purpose.

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

Each day I sit right down and write, I am absolutely driven by a type 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 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 intently upon it deep enough, it's almost a low frequency lull...that is exceptionally deep and dynamic. A wavelength that really has has existed far before all of us and one that will undoubtedly be here forever after. I'll feel it circulate through me sometimes when I am sitting on the mat. Then, I open and observe the things that are going on around me or start to run through the days events - utilizing all of the things that unpredictably changed - and get impressed by all of that energy. That energy runs straight through my writing - and yet, all at the exact same time, I'm here, fully grounded in my place - living as if I was already dead.

Fear, in my heart, disappears.

There I solidly am grounded, in my deepest purpose, completely and utterly impressed by the women around me and that female energy...creating, loving deeply, and open to all delicious uncertainty. It's this dynamic, the one between the male and the female - and my utilizing both - which has taught me more than anything else. This has opened me up, deeply changed my relations, and helped me continue to discover parts of myself that I did not know existed. Floods of great people have showed up in my life and I can see the whole thing morphing, only to grasp that it'll all change and pass...and that really is perfectly OK.
