The beauty of the divine feminine

Women are symbolically correlated to the garden.

“Your women are like a tilth (tilled soil) for you, where you plant seed to obtain produce, so come to your tilth as you wish, and send ahead (good issue) for (the future of) your souls” — Surah Al-Baqarah Verse 223.

There are two important tasks for keeping a garden. The first goal is the removal of weeds that drain its life and beauty. The second goal is the planting of worthy seeds. So the reward then is not just for the wife but for her gardener -consort; her celebratory expression, obtained with patience and love, this is the husbands reward to behold and to embody. He inturn becomes wealthy if he passes these goals or tests. So if he is behaving in a misogynstic way towards females eg. being infidelitous, they, too, once married will have problems with their combined wealth. Did you know that a couple who are in love, regardless of their appearance, as long at the time of they conceived and were in love produce the most beautiful humans?  

Marriage activates wealth and everyone in the world loves beauty, this is because beauty is analogous to truth itself and that truth is always beautiful. Beauty for a woman depends on her desire to absorb energy and so the more time and effort she expends on being able to absorb and create magnetism and beauty, the more beautiful she becomes- through both nature and skill. Thus, the more she gives the more she depletes her natural ability to absorb. Contrastingly, the male depends on his energy to build and give - being able to give freely comes naturally. The more pure minded the man, the more exclusively he is devoted to one woman the more wealth he will accumulate.

The true power of the feminine doesn’t rely in the controlled words as does the male principle, but in the unspoken and in the silence. It doesn’t lie in the physical strength of one’s bodily force, but in the graceful flexibility to absorb engulf that which asserts. Her strengths remain unlisted, indescribable and remain unsaid and somewhat feared. The power of masculinity is in that which is straightforward, transparent, brought out in the open and logically articulated; whereas with femininity, everything is indirect, hidden, and accessible only through intuition.

When this gets intertwined, a lot of individuals start believing that they are in a “twin flame” journey which is only true to an extent. In fact in Islam consciousness from which human beings are birthed is female and marriage is a bridge to the divine. Psychologists will dimiss the idea of soul mates and state that is usually a dance between the “avoidant” and “anxious” which happens first. The avoidant ignores the anxious in separation so that the anxious becomes a secure attachment style (which takes lots of in-work). Once the anxious becomes aware (awakes) it no longer needs the avoidant thus it has become one within him or herself. This creates the necessary void the avoidant needs to begin healing energetically thus missing the (previous anxious) now a secure attached person which is what they need to express themselves freely in a loving way. Then the avoidant by following the now secure partner becomes slowly a secure person as well. The secure partner leads the way home and they both reunite like soul mates.

Women are always a gift and are always a limited resource, but sometimes give their love to a man who is in no way worthy of her and suffer the consequences of energetic stagnation, dullness and susceptibility to abuse in physically or emotionally abusive ways. That is why both the tests of pleasure and abundance and the tests of handling pain or suffering, arise during the spiritual path. If we were to define femininity according to the Qur’an, we could easily use words like confidence, courage, and commitment to promises. We should always strive to bring ourselves closer to beauty, not to negate or disempower it. Whenever we see beauty be it in art, a woman, architecture, etc. we should revere it. We should move towards that which awes and inspires us. A woman doesn't need to do martial arts or any mundane forms of violence to truly destroy a demon; the catabolic and purifying effect of her own raw femininity is enough to expose, use her intuition, root out, and purify all impurity. This is the difference between male and female power, one is excitingly direct and one is beautifully subtle. Here we can even consider the slang use of the word “slay” in the beauty community in response to an individual skillfully embracing and amplifying their own magnetic power, a subtle form of warfare…
