- Thread-topic: [BardonPraxis] Feminine / Masculine Balance

    Dear Regulus

    Bardons regime starts even at Step one with an active seeding of Akasha
    via Eucharistic magic. It's not as formal as ritual seeding, but I don't
    see it as being passive, just understated.

    Also, the emphasis within Bardons regime leans towards the fire element,
    an active pole, with the type of concentration and will-training he expects of
    the
    student.

    I see his techniques as containing very masculine/active elements, just focused
    internally
    onto the student themselves, rather than externally into the immediate world
    around them.

    Rather than feminine/passive, I actually see it as being quite masculine/active.
    This may not be an accurate view, it may be completely neutral in its entirety,
    but that's how I perceive his system at present.

    Good afternoon dear colleagues.

    For some time I have been thinking about the Feminine / Masculine
    axis of polarity and about Balance. I have hesitated to bring this up
    for fear of causing offense where none is intended. Nevertheless a
    question not asked is wisdom forgone. So . . .

    It seems to me that Hermetics as described in IIH and as discussed in
    this list is a little skewed towards the Feminine pole. Much of the
    emphasis is on meditation, passive observation of inner states, and
    learning "to be" in a higher sense of the concept. Although Bardon
    describes the actual doing of magick it doesn't seem to get as much
    emphasis as the more receptive exercises. Certainly on this list I
    don't read much about summoning power, casting spells, and making
    things happen out in the world - in other words, I don't hear much
    about the Masculine aspects of Hermetics.

    Is the focus of our discussions out of balance or (perhaps) is the
    focus deliberately skewed towards the Feminine to compensate for a
    culture that favors the Masculine?

    Sincerely, /RM/

    P.S. Please note that I am talking about Feminine / Masculine in the
    esoteric sense - I'm not referring to specific traits of female /
    male members of the human species.
