On River FM 92.9 Mondays between 4pm and 6pm, OUR STORYS, Live streaming 2ncr.org.au/stream The Inner Journey Conversation this week is with Gisela. Of course there is great diversity in the music I play, listen up, participate.
My rave today is about male domination of mother earth, and male aggression and misogyny. This is embedded in our culture, and whenever you scratch the surface there are these behaviours that arise, often aggressively. The perpetrators of these behaviours don’t really know (sometimes) that they are doing misogyny because it is so embodied in their being. Yes, Men were subtly indoctrinated into that way of being, from a very young age. Personally, I grew up not even being aware of my misogynistic behaviour, or knowing what I was doing. I took on that whole misogyny into my being. For me it wasn’t until I had a mid life crises at 38 that I looked deeper and saw that I was doing typical male behaviour, which included the oppression of women. We must challenge those stereotypes and ways of being, but not through aggression, gentle awareness comes to mind.
Unchallenged it can ultimately lead to more women being murdered, more domestic violence. Recently I talked about an incident where people were being aggressive toward a woman friend of mine. I spoke about that and there was this pushback to maintain this old patriarchal paradigm, no matter what. This was so disappointing. The language, everything was used to uphold that inequality and aggression, and I am certainly having trouble getting over that. That is why I have to speak about it, people doing behaviour like this in our culture is very painful.
My father was certainly misogynistic, and to a degree I followed in his footsteps. Until I recognised how enslaved I was to this whole way of being. That was a long time ago but it was about my own healing process that went on for some years.
So we must expose these behaviours, however subtle, anyway we can. If an individual is being aggressive and controlling with language, lets ask them simply - What is your agenda right now?
The putting down of women has been going on for millennia, but mens own liberation is tied to being a big part of this kind of change, and for a better world in general, but I think in order to uphold old ways of misogyny, men will twist the story or go off on tangents of what is the core issue here. The Misogynistic divides so many and in that we can’t stand together and challenge the other very real issues like climate change etc. Please keep comments respectful. Please consider.

Mondays on river FM between 2 and 4pm OUR STORIES Mondays conversation is with Fran. Live Streaming 2ncr.org.au/stream. Hope you can Join Me. Here is Quality thoughts from Peter Kingley "Everything in existence is crying out for a particular quality of consciousness that only humans can give. This doesn’t mean we are superior to nature, only that there’s an incredible need for a certain cooperation. The famous mystic Rudolph Steiner has said that for the agricultural process to happen, for seeds and plants, and trees to grow, birdsong is absolutely essential. This is a beautiful truth that very few people know. But we also need to take what he said one stage further, because birds call and sing not only to quicken plants: they also call to awaken the human seed that we are. They are actually singing for our sake as well. If we can start to listen to them, really listen, they will draw us into this greater consciousness I have been talking about. They will be our teachers, because nature is able to point us to our inner nature. …We are called to be there. When we can listen to what the birds have to say, to what nature has to say, and when we perceive the beauty of nature, then we are completing the circle and returning this physical world to its source through our own consciousness." – Peter Kingsley

River FM 92.9. Between 2 and 4pm mondays. The Show is OUR STORIES. The inner journey conversation this week is with Chris . 2ncr.org.au/stream to live stream. And of course I always play divine music just for you.
Please consider My Rave on emotional suppression.
I remember when I was little, how many times did I hear ‘don’t cry’. When I was mad about what I thought was injustice, I was told to ‘settle down’.
It was all done with good intent but it was their narrative of passion control which they were passing down. If we want to change ourselves, which I consider a big call, we have to look at who is controlling who. Are we still not pleasing mummy and daddy when we keep suppressing ourselves well into adulthood. This suppression of emotion has profound affect on all our relationships. Please consider that I am one person, and there is a commonality for us all in what I have just described. We were all told to pull ourselves together and hold everything in, to our own detriment. We came out the other end broken.Are we open to each other?
I am a sensitive being which makes me feel it all, and being older I fall apart easier, I can’t hold it all in. There is the rub, falling apart is also a place of an open heart to the elixir of love and feeling, there is nothing more beautiful.

Familiar family narratives, they do have a part in non nurturing behaviour. They could also help stifle our creativity. In fact they have many effects on us as individuals. For various reasons we comply to these stories. My own lived experience was for 20 years of my life I was driven by this need to conform to these reductionist ideas of how to live my life. Really, how to just hold myself back. Yes it was a particular self imposed jail I had put myself in. I was 38 when I had my mid-life crisis. Because I was so hungry for change my course was completely in another more liberating direction.

I have included meaningful Quote. “But no matter how much the mess and distortion make you want to despair, you can’t abandon the work because you’re chained to the bloody thing, it’s absolutely woven into your soul and you know you can never rest until you’ve brought truth out of all the distortion and beauty out of all the mess- but it’s agony, agony, agony- while simultaneously being the most wonderful and rewarding experience in the world- and that’s the creative process which so few people understand.” — Harriet March
On River FM 92.9 Today Mondays 2 and 4pm “OUR STORIES” Streaming 2ncr.org.au/stream Oh, and then there is sublime Music. This weeks Inner Journey Conversation with Sukamari. Love it if you can Join me.
Please Consider and Engage with my Rave.
Come sit with me. You will get to hear my story as well. Whichever way you look at it, its all a part of your story too. Sharing our inner journeys offers the deeper human connection, self reflection and Love. My story was sometimes a great difficulty navigating around others in my life and what I had been told of how I should be in this world. I got to see, after a long time how I had let myself down by many limiting beliefs. I had no clarity of what was going on but I did surrender and transitioned to an awareness of a more stronger me inside. It was a seven year journey, although still exploring my own potential which is offered to us everyday by the universe if we can leave the distractions behind and listen. Its all for a better world, because our healing is Mother Earths healing. When I recognised that I had grown in myself I wanted to share that with everyone to let the love in, to tune into what is really going on beneath the quagmire of disfunction that is trying to grab us all, to take us all to this dark place of alienation and despair.
Telling our own deeper inner stories can be illuminating and freeing and also the many possibilities of letting love in. We cannot erase our storys nor their content. Owning them is to see the wisdom being offered for much more fluid ways of being. We will become much more in touch with our own humanity, the commonalty of all our stories. So come sit wth me and tell me your story. Please head to my new website to find invitation www.ourinnerstories.com.au
