This is one of the most important and misunderstood topics on Earth. My experience and understanding is that what has been missing is balance. We all embody a mix of masculine (yang) and feminine (yin) essence and these need to be balanced for power, wisdom, health and longevity to manifest. The feminine is more toward emotion and the masculine toward thought - both are necessary and need to be balanced in the heart.

The imbalance towards the masculine is not exactly as we might imagine on the surface - it is most prominently found in the thoughtforms being held by people which judge/deny/reject our real emotions. The thought that, for example, 'anger is bad' can be enough to block up and lock up our emotional system - since we DO feel real anger. This seemingly innocent thought (within the more masculine domain of energy) causes a dysfunction in the feminine. Multiply this a trillion times and in almost as many forms and we have a huge imbalance that is largely operating unconsciously and in denial.

There are females who are embodying more masculine energy than feminine. There are males who are weak because they deny their own emotions. There are all kinds of dysfunctions originating from all of this.

society is presently overrun with feminine energies (e.g., emotionality) rather than masculine ones (e.g., rationality)

What is lacking is a deep appreciation of the mechanics involved here.
Emotions are not being given the balanced acceptance that they need in order to be processed and expressed in a balanced way. The outcome is emotions that are out of balance and that then leads to yet more judgements such as 'there are too many emotions' - when in truth, what is lacking is balance. Why do thoughts get to decide if there are too many emotions or not anyway? ;)

The challenge here is that the 50% of us that is emotional is needing great assistance to reach wellbeing and balance. This actually must be felt to be understood - so those who continue to deny their own emotionality will never understand the real causes of their problems and may continue - until death - to blame the emotions, whch are - in truth - only ever RESPONDING to the frequencies emanated by the thoughts that consider themselves to be so rational.

The emotional self RECEIVES - like a woman's reproductive system (yin). The thought self emanates/sends - like a man's reproductive system (yang).

If the feminine does not receive full, loving acceptance from the masculine, for every emotional response, expression and need - then the result is a loss of balance and an increase in unconsciousness. Given how little of any of this most people understand, it is no surprise that we have so many issues.

I regularly write on these topics if anyone is interested. <3

Also, @sean-king - I actually found your profile today (though I already folllowed you anyway) - because @jerrybanfield has retired as a witness and I thought to ask his bigger voters to consider voting for me instead. I can see that actually you have a bunch of free witness vote slots - so I would appreciate if you would point one to me. :)
If you have any questions or requests regarding witnessing, I am happy to help/reply.

cheers
