How does the masculine wound hurt us?

One of the CORE wounds we have as a society, is the masculine wound I found this out myself while healing myself - I embodied this HARD CORE.

One of the CORE wounds we have as a society, is the masculine wound

I found this out myself while healing myself - I embodied this HARD CORE.

And this isn’t a “male” wound - rather it is an energy form

Women, men and non-binary humans embody this wound

Many religions and wars and governments are based upon this wound Control/power/greed and domination are the negative energies of this “wound”

The masculine side of the brain is logic/analytics/numbers/execution/momentum and when it is strong and solid, it can be very powerful and helpful.

And we've been trained collectively to shut down the feminine side of our brain (again we ALL have this energy inside of us as well)

For thousands of years we have been imbalance and in the “wound” phase as a planet

Many cultures were started based upon this wound….and is why we are in the world we are today - with money/sales/power/keeping up with the Joneses’ is so much the focus Consumerism and numbers is the focus in this kind of wound

And instead of protecting the feminine….it has created more of a dominant energy in the world - shutting down our love/compassion/forgiveness side of ourselves (yes, women especially have tried to become more like men in many ways, shutting down their feminine side)

The masculine wound inside of me (which my father/husband/brother and most male mentors/religion that I attracted in my life embodied and shared with me me from nearly day 1 in my life) shows up as any or all of the following and caused some kind of pain in my life - and most likely is part of your healing path as well:

defensiveness,
overcompetition - very driven - win no matter what the cost
over focus on money or sales
Manipulation (getting what you want, no matter what),
addictive behaviors or codependent behaviors (looking for answers outside yourself)
burnout,
need to be "right"
Controlling or control freak
Overly analytical/over thinking - busy mind (ego)
emotionally unavailable
Disassociation
All or nothing mentality - which stems from possible lack/scarcity
wearing a mask or "faking" it til you make it pressure (as within, so without!)
