Apprentice Corner
Reflections of Debbie Longley
I can picture all three apprentices reflecting on the massive amount of change in their lives in every apprentice corner for the next 2 ½ years. (te he) And why not? This program kicks butt. There is no longer much time for wallowing in body senior states. I love it. As Scott said to me recently, “the apprenticeship is good for you”, and he laughed. I laughed too, it’s so true.
Here is an example of how it is for me. One Monday night recently, I worked my 9 ¼ hour day job, ate a rushed dinner, and hopped on my bike for a half an hour ride to Lightwork for another 4 hours of spiritual work, before getting back on my bike for the trek home to bed. As I left to go to Lightwork my body and analyzer were showing me pictures about how hard this was, doing this all the time, blah, blah, blah. I listened to my body, reassured it a bit, etc. The thing that kind of blew me away, though, was that as I walked up the steps to the Lightwork house I noticed that I had a big grin on my face. Here is a place that I feel deeply loved, completely accepted, and greatly supported in being real and creating what I want. And the change is happening!
What’s not to like? Yes, it requires doing the work. And yes, it’s completely worth it.

Lightwork Ecovillage
The Ecovillage gets more awesome upon every visit! Fall is
in full effect on the land, with giant falling maple leaves and more abundant
tea consumption in Hawk House. Though trees are letting leaves go, and plants
and bugs are dying, there is much life flowing as the rains come and nourish
the ecovillage. The rainstorms lead to brainstorms about the ecovillage
infrastructure. On the coast we are all affected by great rains, and especially
on the land we are sensitive to it’s power. Rain can wash away roads, fill
catchment systems, water gardens, leak into dry spaces, create magical cloud forests.
All things ecovillagers have experienced! The ecovillage helps us tune to the
elements and find our bodies flow which is naturally tuned into the power of
seasonal change.

Remember Source
As the sun went down on what once was love
Sadness welled up from within
Full moon comes from mountain,
like fire...Remember Source
As material things wither and break
There is no fulfillment in them
I let go and...Remember Source
As love itself hides behind earth
and there is nobody in the night
Manifestation sobs for comfort
I know that it is true
You are never alone
Then I hear the breath of dolphins
And watch them swim by...
I hear your message
The eagle cries as the day breaks
And I thank Source for this painful...
...Glorious night
Male/Female Game
- An article by Scott Robinson
The relationship between male and female energy is one of the most
interesting dynamics we play out on this planet. When male and
female are in harmony, it creates balance. They can be incredibly
powerful together and in anything they create or do. There is,
however, a male/female "game" that exists, that does not support this
balance and tries to put these two energies into dangerous
competition. This imbalance is created and maintained by beings
that want to shut down awareness in this world. If these beings
can keep male and female in battle, which is generally the case, a
large percentage of their energy is taken, their consciousness is
lowered and they can be controlled.
The male/female game is fascinating because it happens on so many
levels, varying from superficiality to life and death. Female
"fight energy" and male "fight energy" are very different. Female
fight energy or the way female destroys has a very quiet quality.
It is somewhat unseen. Male energy is more action oriented, and
thus the way he destroys is more visible. So, on physical terms,
the female will fight invisibly, the male will blatantly commit
violence.
One side of the game requires female to constantly invalidate and own
male. She is shutting him down, but it is not even seen. It
is invisible, and in the end, the reality is he cannot make a move
without her permission. He knows that if he does, he might be
killed for it, just as she might be killed from the male side.
The threats are on that level. Conversely, there are also those
marriages where the male controls everything and is always invalidating
female. "Oh, female cannot do it." In the past, this was
done very visibly. In some parts of the Middle East, female is
literally owned by male. It still happens on less visible levels
all over the world.
This is the male/female battle. You can see happily married
couples who are, on an energy level, a spiritual level, battling out
the male/female game their whole lives. If they are not
conscious, a good part of their energy can be wrapped up in the fight
and they will not become aware. Male owns female, female owns
male - that is the male/female game.
In history, one side or the other has become conscious
enough to name what the other side was doing. During the feminist
movement control by the male side was named. From the women's
point of view, our culture has been set up in many ways to invalidate
female energy. Equivalent pay for equivalent work is one example.
For male it is a struggle to become more conscious, because male
emotions and male energy in their pure form, (not the power over others
dysfunctional form) is so invalidated in our culture. You can see
many men who do not own their true male energy or their emotions at
all, walking around trying to be macho, trying to access it from that
place. Gangs in North America are an example. These young
men do not know how to access their emotions or any of their true male
energy. They are going out and shooting people, trying to
initiate themselves, in order to have some kind of power. Lately
we are seeing the beginnings of a men's movement waking up and starting
to question: "Where has my true male energy gone? Where did I
lose my emotions?"
Male and female lose themselves to each other in many different
ways. I knew a couple where both the husband and wife were
totally owned by the other. The man came from a cultural
background that said male is more powerful and he kept his wife in a
state of fear and invalidation. They both contributed
financially, but he ensured that the house was held in his name.
They had been married for 30 years, and she was constantly in fear of
being out in the street. She felt her survival depended on him
and he reinforced the idea that: "Female is not worthy. Female is
no good." She was completely invalidated in the
relationship. There was another piece, however. She owned
him on a different level. He wanted to retire and make some big
changes in his life, and she would not let him. He could not make
a personal move without her permission. She played her part very
quietly. It was not visible like the male side. He was
obvious, she was quiet, but the invalidation went back and forth.
The traditional roles of "male is provider" and "female is caring" are
a common agreement between male and female in our society and if both
sides are clear with the contract, it can work. Unfortunately,
more often than not in this day and age, this is not the case.
With the advent of "equality", there is the belief couples should be
equal, both making their own money and having their own time and
space. At the same time, we also hold on to the idea that male
provides and female cares. Thus, there is a contradiction.
Both male and female must be absolutely clear about their
respective roles and ownership of their personal space in order to call
a truce in the battle and be able to simply enjoy one another.
Until we become more conscious and do the healing on this piece, the
war will continue on our planet. It is a war between male and
female. It is the male/female game, but I am calling it a war
because it is so real and intense. The games are played out on
that level and the violence that occurs is worthy of a war. The
amazing piece is most people are unconscious of their role as a soldier
in the war. Each side has weapons. A female uses
emotionality and sexuality as a weapon in the game to capture and
control the enemy (male). The male weapon is power. He uses
money or pure energy to capture and control the enemy (female).
There is a "council of destroy energy" (the destruction of
consciousness on the planet) that wants to control manifestation, and
can stay in control by keeping the male/female battle alive. It
is a vicious war. Females and males are being killed all the time
through this game. The battle is being played out on the level of
life and death.
In this war, the dynamic finds female moving in and owning male's
second chakra, owning his emotions, sexuality and clear feeling, and
male moving into and owning female's third chakra, owning her
power. Little girls are taught, "It is dangerous for you to own
your power. "You don't need your third chakra. You don't
need to run your power." A female hands over her power and it is
now owned by male. It is often played out in this or a similar
version; male earns the money and female is financially
dependent. Female is programmed and brought up to believe she
does not have her power. That power is only available through
male. Male is in control of the flow of power to female, so she
is tied to him and has lost her freedom. There are many different
variations of the same game.
If female is invalidated enough, and cannot access her own power, she
will find a male to own her power, to own her third chakra.
Female power looks very different than male power. It is less
visible, but it is just as powerful. If her energy source is shut
down in a female body, she is going to go to male and get the energy,
but it is not clean and will not run cleanly in her space. The
game can get vicious as the female is less and less empowered, and
will, eventually, strike back at her oppressor.
For the male, on the other hand, he gives his second chakra to female,
he looks for a woman who will own his second chakra and says, "I'm not
even going to access it. I'm not going to feel anything."
The basic thought is, "Here, honey. You take this, and you tell
me what to feel. You own me sexually/emotionally." If you
talk to most males on the street, they have no idea what they are truly
feeling. If you take a look at their second chakra, it is either
owned by their mother, their wife, or their girlfriend. Male was
taught to give it away. "You don't need that, son. You
don't need that second chakra. That thing doesn't do anything for
you. All you need is your third. All you need is your
power. You don't need to feel anything."
When female captures males' second chakra, she also takes over his
whole communication system because the main way a being knows what is
going on for its body is through the communication of emotions.
It is actually an amazing way to own somebody. If a being loses
access to its emotions, it has no idea what is going on for the body,
and the body can be owned completely. Male becomes a drone for
female, out there bringing home the bacon, wondering why he is doing
it. He cannot experience his emotions so he does not even know
what he feels about it.
The underlying programming for both males and females within the
male/female game is based on lies. The control game is being
played out so male and female have to stay in this constant
battle. It is all just a distraction to keep male and female
battling on the planet so they never see the bigger picture and begin
to transcend spiritually. If the destroy council energy involved
can keep the battle going far enough, everybody stays trapped, held in
spiritual bondage. The premise is to keep the male/female game
going at all costs. Keep the females weak. Keep the males
unknowing of what they think or feel. In other words, keep them
owned. Because this game has continued for centuries, you end up
with the planet in the state it is presently.
Many spiritual practices have tried to take measures to get past this
piece. That is the idea behind the whole concept of celibacy, the
separation between nuns and monks. Unfortunately, it does not
ultimately work because the issues still remain. Even if there is
not a human being for a 100 miles around, the need to control or to be
controlled will still exist until you heal it within yourself.
Essentially, to heal this game, to move past this
piece, what needs to happen is for female to own her power, her third
chakra, and for male to own his emotions, his sexuality and clear
feeling, his second chakra. Female needs to be able to have her
power. Male needs to be able to feel, independently. Female
must really recognize and acknowledge her power and not give it away or
hook up with a male to access power. Male must have his emotions
and be whole without female. If two people can get to that place,
they can actually have a healthy relationship as two whole individuals
relating to each other rather than two wounded people controlling each
other.
How long is this game going to carry on? It may continue on the
planet forever. As Spiritual Warriors, we need to learn how
to transcend the game. We will not be free until we do. It
is very important to look directly and honestly at how you have played
it out. Female looking at how she has controlled male and male
looking at how he has owned female.
Men are taught very early to disconnect from feelings because mother is
right in there, feeling them for him, from day one. In the old
tribal cultures, measures were taken to work through this. When a
boy turned eight years old, the men ran into the village, and took the
boy away from the females for two years. All the women cried and
screamed. The boy would not see another female for two years in
order to break the boy's dependence on female (Mother). They knew
without intervention, the little boy would have his mother in his
space, owning his second chakra until he eventually met his wife and
then she would move in there. He would never, ever make the
necessary separation, and would be constantly corded to female.
There were also rituals for female to ensure female would own her power.
Unfortunately, this is the state of Western culture. All these
men still have their umbilical cords plugged into female, whether it is
their wife, mother or girlfriend. When they lose one, they go
right on to the next relationship because they need someone to fill
their second chakra, quickly. What they do not understand is they
could be filling it with themselves and Source. It is the same
dynamic for female. She is always searching for someone to own
her so she can access his power. She cannot survive without
him. He can not survive without her. Complete
co-dependence. Welcome to the majority of relationships in the
world today.
The male/female game on the planet can and will be played out forever
unless something major is shifted - but you can heal it for
yourself. It is up to you to heal this dynamic within yourself,
for yourself - you can create your freedom. You can end the war
in your life, even if the world population as a whole is not ready.
