Freeing Ourselves From The Underdog Position.
Ascension energies continue to provoke power struggles in our relationships as many of us are waking up to the fact that we have been dominated, controlled or manipulated, often in quite subtle ways, by people who don’t always have our best interests at heart. These waves of Ascension energy produce within us a powerful desire to experience equality, justice and freedom in all areas of our life. Basically, on a soul level, we are yearning to experience democracy in all aspects of life and in all our relationships, from the personal to the professional, to the national and the international. What this means, is that we are becoming unwilling and unable to tolerate an unequal balance of power in our relationships. In particular, we no longer want to be the ”underdog.”
Some of us are just now waking up to the fact that we have been been controlled or manipulated, we are seeing imbalances and inequities that previously we have been oblivious to, or perhaps that we just accepted as being “the way things are.” Whatever the case, many of us are now struggling to free ourselves from the “underdog” position. This isn’t easy, because once one of the participants in an unequal relationship refuses to continue to submit passively to another’s control, a power struggle ensues, and this can be very painful, even traumatic.
These power struggles are very necessary, however, they are reflecting the challenge of the old Masculine, or Patriarchal, version of power, by the new Sacred Feminine, or ”Goddess ” version of power. The old version of power is based on subjugation, supremacy, domination and control, while the new version is completely democratic in nature. Put simply, the old power heirarchy is in the process of being ousted by our growing insistence that all relationships operate fairly, with both, or all participants in the relationship, sharing equal power and status.
What is making underdogs even more determined to break free from those who seek to control, limit and dominate them, is the Sacred Feminine energy’s insistence on personal autonomy and individual freedom. So, if you have been, or are now, involved in an unpleasant power struggle with someone, or more than one person, know that it is your soul that is urging you to free yourself from any kind of domination, control, and/or restriction. For, as we free ourselves from all forms of unjust control and oppression, we are playing our part in creating a better, fairer future for the world, not just ourselves.
