What is Healthy Masculine?


Listen Later

We hear so much today about toxic masculinity. Gender equality movements feminism movements, the me too movement, Etc. are very good at pointing out the problems with patriarchy, toxic masculinity, the masculine gender issues in general.

Nowadays boys don't have any forms of initiation into manhood, so how do boys become men? Many of them are taught that to become a man you must suppress your compassion and empathy and mua images like that which is seen in gillette commercials.

This is devastating for the mental health of the male culture.

And unfortunately, many different organizations like me too, don't offer balance representations of what divine masculine really is. The book king warrior magician lover is a beautiful introduction to the divine masculine archetype. Carl Jung and his revolutionary work surrounding archetypes and the shadow made it possible for several Jungian psychologists to write this book on Jungian psychology explaining the relationship between archetypes and human behavior as it is related to masculinity.

Much of the content on masculinity that you will find online is either bashing masculinity or it is teaching people how to attract a lover or a twin flame or a soulmate and there is not much content on how to step into the presence of divine masculinity within yourself.
