Man’s World | Woman’s Earth: Relationship with Nature
If you haven’t already, read the foundation of my philosophy here.
In a post pre-this series, I mentioned that men have no tangible connection with the Universe.
I take that back.
Female Connection to the Universe
With everything in femininity being indirect and complex, it makes sense that our connection to the earth would be the same.
Women are connected to the earth in synchronous ways. Things that represent femininity in any way often allude to female biology:
Flowers, considerably the most feminine aspect of nature, have uncanny resemblances to vaginas. Flowers are delicate, soft, beautiful, and even have a sweet aroma. All of these are feminine qualities.
Fruits are the same. They naturally grow with beautiful, bright colors, flavorful, pleasurable to eat, ready to be consumed and nourish the body.
Even eyes: the windows the the soul. The portal between the physical world and human consciousness. This element of eyes functions the same way as the Womb, as it is the portal to between the physical and spiritual world. Eyes also have a resemblance to vaginas (the entrance to the Womb).
Throughout history and literature the moon has been represented as feminine. In the darkness of the night where everything is uncertain, the moon shines brightly and confidently on its own as the only source of light. Women have the same function: to shed light on what cannot be seen through their intuition and emotional sensitivity.
The moon’s cycle lasts 28 days. What are the odds that the ovulation cycle — the cycle that dictates when human life can be created — also happens to typically be the exact same number of days?
Male Connection to the Earth
Men have a completely opposite relationship with the earth from women: men have a direct connection with the Earth. Men are task-oriented, objective, logical creatures. They act based on what they see. Men’s natural curiosity of the world is their connection to the earth. While women experience life internally, being more concerned with their own internal feelings and the thoughts and intentions of others, or in other words, all that is not objectively seen, men experience life externally through their interactions with the physical plane. Men are driven by their desire to explore and understand how things work.
Men are Creators.
This is evident when we look at which industries are male dominated: construction, for example, is largely a male job. It is considerably the most masculine job there is: Creating buildings. It focuses solely on the physical aspect. Construction is men building their environment, the same way a bird would build a nest.
Technology is the same deal. While there are several women in this field, there’s also a heavy societal push to get women in the STEM field and still, women generally aren’t as naturally interested. Technology, too, is about Creation and making things work.
Men’s natural desire to create on the physical plane using physical resources is representative of their connection to the earth.
Overall, women are connected to the universe indirectly through synchronicities and senses, and men are connected to the earth directly through physical motivation and conscious curiosity.
The nature of the sexes’ relationships to the universe are manifestations of the nature of the sexes themselves: women being complex and indirect, and men being simple and direct.
