The Buddha

Along with duality, the Buddha abandoned his family. I don’t fault him for that but I do want to comment.

“The Buddha realized he could not remove his families suffering. Nor anyone else’s, including his own, so he left to find an end to suffering and once he did he shared it with all, including his family.” Arun Deva

Men are free, by patriarchal rules, to abandon their families to pursue higher levels of consciousness while women are frowned on for abandoning their family for whatever reason.

It is the inequity that is addressed here from a feminists perspective.

We live in a patriarchal world for the most part. This Circumstance of life weighs into the equation.

These inequities are increasingly ignored by men or deepen every year that patriarchy is upheld as legitimatized by society.

The feminine is dying in a patriarchal world where warring, fighting, ego and duality are furthered by bullies and racists, white men typically historically but these days by major leaders all around the World.

This is why we are experiencing so much violence World Wide. It’s the disconnected masculine who lives in his brain with grandiose ideas and no sense of earthy common sense that causes this duality.

Whenever I receive a message from my wise brain it flows up from my pelvis, along my spine, over my head and connects with my mind in my heart. The masculine and the feminine are united in the heart. There I feel the love that is our birth right. Unconditional love, without judgement, with equity for all. There, the human condition is both masculine and feminine, UNITED in nature and we have access to all the wisdom the universe has to offer.

There is a song:

“I gave my love a cherry
That had no stone
I gave my love a chicken
That had no bone
I gave my love a story
That had no end
I gave my love a baby
Got no crying”

written by Carly Simon

This song is interpreted by patriarchs to convince men they are above experiencing a cherry seed waiting to sprout a tree in the ground. Those more “menial” tasks, the ones of growth and development are left to women, the man provides the seed with no consequences. This allows men to spread unwanted seed and believe they are beyond responsibility.

This is not an equitable “agreement.”
