As with everything. Meaning matters.
For some the Dark Masculine (in their current definition) equals the Toxic Masculine.
It does not.
My definition…
Healthy Dark Masculine - is a particular aspect of the masculine. Which contains the potency, sexuality, drive and power of the masculine.
Toxic Masculine - is the shadow… typically the reactive expression. The shadow, by the way, that plays out in both the Light and Dark aspects of the Masculine.
As with everything…
Meaning matters.
Part of my mission is to bring the healthy Dark Masculine to the world.
To clean up our relationship with it.
Because unfortunately, it isn’t just the name we condemn.
It is also the traits.
Yes. Traits that have played out in shadow in the past.
But are NOW, wanting to reintegrate into the masculine and collective psyche.
FOR THE GOOD OF US ALL.
Power, strength, determination, conviction, instinct, confidence, drive to achieve, create and push forward in the face of adversity, commitment and unwavering integrity.
Yes, these aspects have played out in shadow and have contributed to Toxic masculinity.
But are they same?
NO.
Unequivocal no.
Meaning matters.
And in fact….
The words are simply labels to convey a message… a frequency.
And the message… the frequency beneath the words of Dark Masculine… is not one of toxicity.
It is one of liberation, empowerment and the deepest… most earth shattering love.
It is time.
