A call-out to the incredible voice in women

Today, The true north, have you found yours? I think I have found mine, I seem to be happy, I love doing what I am doing, but sometimes I think I am soo angry...

Are you following your vocation? Are you not distracted from your purpose, do you know what it is? These are not easy questions. With all that has happened this year, maybe you also had more time to spend finding our true north, and voice?

But I believe an incredibly important voice is largely missing. Missing in the decisions that were supposed to bring humanity forward, yet in so many cases it feels as if we are moving backwards! It is the missing voice of the wise women grounded in her purpose. Her voice is an incredible guide.

The Story

The story goes about a female voice that goes unheard because it doesn’t dare to be voiced. But let’s start here; I do believe that this world listens, it wants to hear that voice. Maybe I am crazy, but I believe I am not the only one when I say I am craving to hear that voice more often.

There is an incredible amount of female voices out there that get heard, many of which are exactly what we need. But why is such a large portion of this female voice still getting lost in our world?

This voice is stifled by what is believed to be wrong and right but isn’t, goes on about what is expected of women to support a change and what we should and should not say, and it continues with political correctness and ends with getting lost in a world utterly distracting and off-putting to finding our true north. This story of a voice is a voice that is choked because of what we are supposed to say and should not say, and do not say, what we should say. Many voices stay silent and will stay silent for as long as we dare not say:

things we believe that are reproached by societal expectations,

things we believe that are silenced by religious taboos that ‘know better’,

things we believe that are corrected by political correctness,

things we believe that are mortified by science that can’t prove it, and

things we believe that we believe others don’t want to hear; we dare not say!

It is a story that applies to all of us. But, there still is a difference in the voice of the women. Why? Because the last centuries have given us men enough voice. And while we men are just as ‘lost on our paths’, the problem is that our men’s voices, unaugmented by that of the women, remain shallow and have, over the centuries, evidently created structures flawed at their very foundations. The proof is everywhere: crumbling ecologies, faltering social structures and shaky economies.

It is a story of an unheard voice that will not add to the already existing noise but is one that comes from a “wise woman awakening to the answers of her call from within, ones that reflect on the seeds of possibilities in others”. I stumbled across this sentence from an incredibly sage fellow entrepreneur writing her message, a message she uses to build a business around, one that I hope she will share soon.

This story of a voice is a voice that wishes to be sought, it is one that is unheard because we are lost, pursuing things that smother life & love on this planet, rather than building on it. It is a story of a whole society, fickle, easily led to consume, easily knocked-off, chasing things we should not be chasing, distracted and lost on paths meant to find who we really are and find what we are really meant to do.

And so, the real voices remain silent.

A woman, knowing when to put her wisdom forward has a very powerful voice, it will go against all the noise. Bar the fewest fools, I cannot imagine many men who would object to such confident wisdom; for the very purpose from whence it comes, and from the force of wisdom within it. I believe I am not the only one when I say I yearn to hear that voice and want to rely on it when decisions are made. Those of you men reading this and who agree, please comment below.

I think you women often underestimate how many of us men are yearning for your wisdom of womanhood naturally unique and valuable. You are just too often too critical with yourself of whether you should be saying something or not. Just say it! We men will just have to suck it up of we don’t like it!

There was once a time, a time when we lived as clans and tribes, where women contributed as much as 70% to the food on the table. The woman was not only the main source of food, but she was also a mother, family caretaker and the social-glue of society. Many cultures across the world, cherished her as the fertility itself and some clans across Europe, 1.5 millennia ago, even imbued her with angelic wisdom, power and an essence of higher-order in society than that of men.

How that voice was attenuated, and even to a degree lost over the centuries, and how we men got to pull all responsibility onto our side, I don’t know. All I know is that I don’t like it. That we men get blamed for everything that goes wrong today is a consequence of our actions, which logically, and embarrassingly, we have to accept!

The Provider

Personally, I feel there is just too much pressure on us men to be ‘the provider’. The word ‘provider’, a person who earns money to support their family, should be abolished. Or we should just leave that up to God to be.

Firstly we have a derogatory feeling around the word support and secondly, we desperately value money. Money from a good source and good intention has positive energy and we need more of that. But the desperate value we attach to the word money unavoidably hands power over us to other people, who should not have power over any one of us, especially not a woman. She should be standing in her own power because that is also from whence healthy relationships are built.

I would be ok were the definition of ‘the provider’ to be a person who brings value to society. That would make the intuitive woman, mother, and wife, grounded in her purpose and standing in her voice be of higher value to society, even than that of the man, at least in my eyes!

Our desperate attachment to money, plus the derogatory feeling we have around the word support, make the definition of “the provider” toxic to society.

So how are we going to find a way back to hearing more of the incredible force of wisdom in women, a voice that is not emulating the male, but one which stands in her own creative purpose, a force coming from her own genetic intent. We can expect that a voice, standing strong in its own purpose and power, will naturally come forward more instinctively and far more confidently. But why does it remain so difficult, why are women unsure, questioning their own voice so intently and often?

That brings us back to the list of points I mention at the beginning of this blog but also brings me to one point I am very critical of, the drifting off of emancipation, emancipation today drives down a dark alley with a dead end.

Emancipation

At this point, a few of you may flip your lids. That is fine, do that, but don’t react, introspect, come back, continue to read, and then go and find out whether you are really standing in your purpose, your force, most of us don’t.

I believe emancipation drives down a dark alley today because I see that much of its narrative is to have women do and attain the same what men do and attain. That is unnatural. We should rather leverage the differences, the uniqueness that you women bring to the table and make that come to play.

Let’s compare it a bit with a Rugby game, we men set the rules, we created the game. Now the wrong thing to do is for you to play this game with us. Also, the wrong thing to do is to try and change the rules of that game. What we should do together, is create a whole new game with a whole new set of laws and rules of engagement. And then play that game together.

There is an incredible amount of work we need to do in this world. We literally need to change everything… but that is another story for another day.

Equal rights and equal opportunities for women in education and business cannot ever be up for debate. I think it is sad that we ever ended up needing to institute the required changes. I feel embarrassed for my collective male ancestry to have caused an exclusion in the first place!

I absolutely admire the power and energy of women who fight their way through education and a career and then still find and follow a calling to live out their motherhood in them, never stopping to raise their voices when they know it is needed. The average man’s life is a yawn and lifelong drag against that!

I cherish the woman that lives close to her genetic creative intent and knows how not to follow the noise out there, the instruction of how she should behave, but rather follows her deep inner knowing and wisdom to be who she really is and step out and voice her words to contribute to decisions that need to be made. This is a message to you women: This world severely needs more of your feminine wisdom, depth and your purpose, especially now. This world needs your ‘real’ energy and not just another useless emulation of the male force.

Emancipation that proliferates the narrative that the best way forward is one where the woman should want to have the same what men have, is confusing for both sexes and destructive to the structure of society. It unwittingly discounts the force women can bring to the table, a voice with a force from the womanhood within, were they individually focus on their real feminine purpose.

Does this sound politically incorrect? Guess what, for as long as the story of the current emancipation goes against the purpose of our genetic intent I will stand in for an emancipation from emancipation for a new emancipation that errs on the side of grounded femininity and a stepping up of the womanhood as a skilled and wise guide, ‘that reflects on the seeds of the possibilities of all others’, as my fellow entrepreneur put it.

My grandmother

The story of my grandmother is very fitting here. She doesn’t talk much, never has, she is now 92 and still is a woman that wields immense command and respect within a family of four daughters (one being my mother) and sixteen grandchildren. She was never convinced that the emancipation was the right thing, she thought it was counter-intuitive and not something she would like to agree with.

She is 50 years my senior and I have huge respect for her. As children, my brother and I used to walk down the road in Johannesburg to visit her regularly in the 80ties and play cards with her. We always got our liquorice. But I distinctly remember this rather tall woman’s very wise words. To me, as a boy, they were coming from a fascinating point of view and always different from how I thought the world worked. It was always something that made me look up to her in awe.

Years later only did I realize that in her very calm wisdom and subtle way, even with an authoritative husband, she always had the overhand and commanded direction in the entire family. In all what I could see, her wise guidance had quite an impact on the company my granddad was building, a company that later became a global monopoly for a few products in its lineup. Her biggest fan, throughout her whole life? My granddad.

Summing up

I love seeing women study and succeed at work and in their businesses, but I find the very leftist emancipation disruptive! Misconstrued to its original intent, it causes much frustration for both men and women as it is not in alignment with what we are intended to be!

Currently, I feel a bit left alone and would love to see you women stepping in more forcefully into your real voice. As a man, I yearn your guidance. You cannot imagine how much I am looking forward to you all finding your feminine force expressed in a voice informing decisions imbued with love and care in everything this world does. It would change everything forever!

It is the strength in our differences, black, white, yellow, brown, red, man or woman, that makes us strong. So here is my message:

The power of our flourishing future rests in the innermost of our heart, which knows what our vocation is. Purposefully pursuing that, espouses providence and by nature does good to others.

I believe that the businesses we create are an expression of who we are and our voice is expressed in our product. We have to be standing in our strength and be guided by our true north, our genetic creative intent, in order for our product to have a chance to be as magnetically attractive as possible! If that is the case, then by design, we can engineer a product into a magnetic offering that people naturally gravitate to, there is a recipe for that... And that is my passion.
