Life's Greatest Oracles: Strong Women

By Evan Sanders


There is nothing more attractive, amazing, and satisfying than being around ladies that have something awaken inside them - a trip, a calling, an adventure. I really have been pretty supremely lucky to have spent a lot of time with powerful women - even raised by 2 who I would do anything for - women who've got their own dreams notwithstanding all of the things they are fed mentally by our society, battle anyways. They are entirely unique in a world that's trying it's best to coach them to be like everybody else. How amazing is that? Above everything else, women act as moment by moment integrity checkers for men, oracles even, and if you can surround yourself with a bunch of powerful ladies, you'll grow incredibly, have your head lovingly cut off when you are surely not being the best man you could be, and you'll experience life itself and its gigantic array of experiences. Like the ocean they change and shift by the second, feelings and thoughts swarm...let that help you in finding your solidity. They'll test you with their darkest moods and feelings - only to have them feel that you're immovable, the mountain, inevitably going to be there irrespective of what and firm in your purpose. These are gifts, not hinderances. These strong relationships create you, but if you really deflate - they'll destroy you. Seek them out - don't be intimidated, women can move mountains. They are to be cherished.

The dynamics of my life in moving with true feminine energy has changed almost 180 degrees for plenty of reasons. But oh how I have shifted deep inside. Across the course of my life, I highly identified with female energy because I had 2 very strong and powerful women in my life - my sister and my mum - who are very driven and proficient in what they do. I even had a female dog who was my best friend when I was little and inclined to gel with ladies better than I did with men. I took the best from my amazing dad also, almost equally as driven, thoughtful, inventive and motivated and became a product of my environment and nurturing.

As I went through the deep chaos of my younger years, I was "all that changes and shifts. " My moods, my attitudes, my emotions, and thoughts...I have described it many times...were like a tornado within me that absolutely refused to quit. Even if it did stop briefly, back up it would storm again. Combine that with lacking deep purpose after my baseball career stopped and a massive mess was made. So I crashed like the raging ocean for a while...and ultimately found my way to writing.

But recently this dynamic shifted religiously as the bubbling up of my purpose came to me and I started to read, understand, and practice what strong masculine energy essentially was. This has not only opened up my world, but has opened up the worlds of the great men who live around me. There's an idea that has entered into my mind which certainly has stuck with me for months now, and it's the idea of the mountain. That solidity - identifying with what doesn't change in this world. The undoubtable stability of being totally grounded in your position, a mirror to life itself, empty and truly ready to express your deepest passions and purpose - which is the expression of love itself.

When a man ultimately begins to understand this concept, I am able to tell you...mountains don't just move in front of him...he becomes the mountain. Whatever occurs around him swirls and yet he is fully calm, planted, and remains deep set in his deepest want. To find your purpose is way more than just what you do for work - it should be a direct leader in your life and will deepen your existing relationships your friendships, your family dynamics, and how you show up in the world. It did for me. As quickly as this hit - bloom - unfold - open - closing the chasm - joy - truth - integrity - tenacity through anything.

Women are similar to the sea. They shift, change, and adjust by the second. In just a moment, a calm sea can change into a sequence of rogue waves. As a man, you are there in your small rowboat wondering how the heck you're going to climb up that wave before it crests. Women are life itself. They offer, literally, what it suggests to be alive. Why do you think they call it Mother Nature? Everything that shifts around you is moving energy, a type of power that surely is uniquely feminine energy and can be accessed. But those waves for men that do not understand what it really means to be the captain of their ship can be rocked straight out of their little boat - I cannot tell you how often I have been tossed out of my boat or perhaps even bailed before the wave hit. But give a open man a purpose, and that wave begins to seem like fun. Additionally, that wave can inspire your most important purpose.

This is the part that has changed my life completely.

Every single day I sit comfortable down and write, I am totally driven by a type of energy that's certainely very different from anything that I have experienced before. I sit in my tiny chair outside on my porch...close my eyes, and breathe as deep deep down into my stomach as I can. I find that density - that solidity - that love - that emptiness. There's this kind of energy that if you focus upon it deep enough, you will find a low frequency lull...that is exceptionally deep and dynamic. A wavelength which has existed far before all of us and one that will absolutelybe here forever after. I can feel it circulate through me sometimes when I'm on the mat. Then, I open and observe the things that are going on around me or take the time to run through the days events - tapping into all the things that changed - and get impressed by all of that energy. That energy runs straight through my writing - and yet, all at the very same time, I am here, completely grounded in my place - living as if I was already dead.

Fear, in my heart, disappears.

There I solidly am grounded, in my deepest purpose, absolutely and totally electrified by the women around me and that female energy...creating, loving intensely and open to all delicious uncertainty. It's this dynamic, the one between the male and the female - and my using both - that has taught me more than anything else. This has opened me up, modified my friendships and helped me continue to discover parts of myself that I never knew existed. Floods of amazing people have showed up in my life and I can see the entire thing morphing, only to grasp that it will undeniably all change and pass...and that's wonderfully OK.
