THE DIVINE FEMININE FROM A MAN’S POINT OF VIEW

written by Franklin Saulus @farmindank

Growing up in the Silicon Valley was not easy, there are high societal standards and demands that must be met in order to survive here As I grew older and began consuming cannabis I was able to clearly see the imbalance in my surroundings Life was mostly based on image and maintaining a fast paced life of materialism This creates a lot of mixed energies of competition, judgment, stress and ego The masculine energy that we carry as providers, protectors, risk takers and doers can carry a heavy load that leads to exhaustion, depression and stress Many people in our surroundings have been burnt out and we have seen a spike in homeless populations and suicide rates as a result In my personal experience since before elementary school, I was pushed very hard to achieve and persevere like many others as well In 2008 I had a big back injury from playing high level competitive football and because of the dedication I had to have for my team I was forced to put my personal well-being aside and take pain-killers to numb the pain and continue as is Once high school hit I was taking 2400mg of ibuprofen and 1200mg of acetaminophen everyday and it was not working anymore I was able to get my hands on stronger pain killers from the doctor but once they stopped prescribing me I had to hit the streets and find my own relief I was beyond blessed when I came across cannabis which I was actually previously kind of against My pain was so unbearable and I had heard it helps with it so I said yes to it which in my opinion ultimately saved my life Even consuming cannabis and her healing divine feminine energies, my relationship with her was still very masculine I used it to run from pain and continue life as normal and even started to sell it in school to provide me gas and food money which gave me a wonderful social experience It was special yet still very masculine to me, and I continued this trait on into my adult life

Decades later, in 2020 the whole world was told to stay home and do nothing. For the first time in my life I was able to rest and chill with cannabis at my side. At a time of so much fear and division I was blessed to have came across psilocybin at a time where toxic masculinity in the form of politics and separation had taken over the whole world including myself. I had learned many wonderful healing information about mushrooms but I was definitely nervous, but I went ahead and ate them. As I melted into my seat I was forced by the true divine feminine to sit and see which ultimately was my first experience ever even feeling this type of energy. It gave me a sense of wholeness and connection with everything and everyone. It made me actually FEEL love in my body and open my heart rather than see love as a mental concept or thought for the first time ever. It helped me release my stress on a cellular level and relax. It helped me see my flaws and shadows and she was not gentle about it, but it was what I needed to change towards a better self and human being. I saw it as a complete miracle which I didn’t believe really existed and transformed my life completely for the better. It brought me closer to and connected me with the food I ate and the cannabis I smoked. It made me question the ethics of how my food and medicine was grown and raised. It also brought forward my true passion which was there all of my life, farming and cultivating.

To this day, the spirit of the divine feminine is with me constantly showing me and teaching me and guiding me, bringing me back to self awareness It is like a piece of soothing electricity that we can tap into and be connected with. The world now has adopted an addictive mindset and I feel it can help by bringing awareness to them and then also giving us the strength, will and courage to take on the right fight to liberate ourselves from these prisons in our minds The divine feminine is amazing and so nurturing that once tapped in, she’s always working with you, rewiring your brain’s thoughts and beliefs back to the collective truth and nature’s intended way of life She helps balance the masculine life of constantly chasing money to survive and helps us to still do so but with a sense of ease and positivity She helps raise our vibrations by detaching us from our self sabotaging attitudes and personalities. As our vibrations rise we can experience more ease as we begin to attract what is truly for us rather than fight and scrape our way to the where we want to be or think we need to be.

On another note I do think it is worth mentioning once again the balance, the yin and the yang because in a world where there are many social injustices we cannot abandon divine masculinity which is responsible for innovation, righteous rebellion and fearlessness The divine masculine is not to blame but many of the times may take the blame for the symptoms of imbalances.

The divine masculine and the divine feminine together create absolute resilience, connection, abundance, co-creation, innovation and support from our communities and nature I would love to see a world where the leaders and followers in society embrace the divine feminine and bring balance to the world where we can still function as a society but instead of profiting off of pain, inequality and fear that we can co-create an economy and lifestyle where the profits lay in love, healing, fixing, mending and providing

My relationship with cannabis has evolved and become a true passion and a part of who I am Even though I am called to take breaks from every now and then, I can say my true meaning is to steward the plant genetically and also through manifestation to hold it’s medicinal values of the true divine feminine spirit she is, as the corporate interest grows with intentions in profit and degradation to help the big pharmaceutical industries thrive. Home grow legalization is essential to me and many states that are looking at legality for purchase and possession are facing potential prohibitions of personal care taking This is where the divine energies, once meshed become very powerful as we steward the medicine and protect the feminine attributes and continue the fight for our rights we can still create a booming industry world wide that has huge potentials for ending many of the world’s problems today
