THE SACRED MASCULINE
Healing, Enlightenment, and Transformation
In this approach, we streamline our spiritual process around Shiva as the pure principle of the sacred masculine in order to heal the distortions that might have developed in our consciousness. Keep in mind that this is only one approach in our Yogic Mystery School™.

ABOUT YOUR THREE FREE LESSONS.
You will want to understand how we approach the sacred masculine from the big picture perspective before you undertake the alchemical process of Tantra through mantras, mudras, and mystical practices.
1. The Sacred Masculine
We cover three areas in this overview. The first is: what is the sacred masculine? The second expands this understanding to the GBLTQ community, Aboriginal societies, and insights from science fiction. The third introduces the contribution and value of Sri Vidya Tantra to this exploration.
2. God, Goddess, Godhead
Those not familiar with the theological term "Godhead" will appreciate this explanation to understand the previous presentation. Those familiar with the word will enjoy our treatment of it here in the context of exploring the Sacred Masculine with us in our Yogic Mystery School.
3. Beyond the Bottleneck
This lesson helps you understand the technicality of what we do in Sri Vidya by penetrating what is called "Maya," our illusion of separation. We do this for all aspects of divinity; however, the sacred masculine and divine feminine aspects of Ultimate Reality are the most important.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT?
We are confronting a profound and pressing need within our society today to heal around the masculine. For instance, some point out that there are toxic forms of masculinity that need to be addressed. The spiritual practices offered by Tantra serve as a doorway, inviting us to explore the rich tapestry of possibilities that can lead to deep personal healing, illuminating enlightenment, and transformative growth. Our Tantric practices my not solve our problems on a societal level. However, they can pave the way for our own perspective to develop and for some healing to transpire intrapersonally, that is, within the self. In other words, there is both perspective and practice that needs to be developed side-by-side, which is precisely what our Yogic Mystery School offers, in addition to the cultivation direct spiritual experience. Engaging the rather unique processes we offer through communal events such as webinars, interactive online program supported powerful meditations and instructed practices, and one-on-one private coaching with our founding members (Asha and Russill Paul), you may well discover ways and means crucial to your journey, helping uncover the answers that elude us and guiding us towards a more meaningful presence.
These past years, why, these past centuries, the human expression of the masculine has been anything but sacred. Men, in general, in many societies, have lost their connection to the sacred masculine archetype that should inform their maleness. Without rites of passage, many young men have no sense of embodying the sacred masculine in their lives and relationships. It is this loss of the sense of the sacred in the masculine that brings us to consider the value of what Tantra might offer us today.
Discovering or rediscovering the sacred masculine is vital for women, too. Unfortunately, in many instances, men's behavior has distorted the sacred archetype in women, too: a distortion of the divine feminine. And sadly, men might well have caused this, which is why it is men who need to take on the responsibility of rediscovering the sacred masculine within themselves so they can help reinstate the divine feminine in women.
Many men have not been worthy channels and representatives of the masculine, corrupting its sacredness in our world and creating problems in so many areas of life. Even if men may not feel a sense of personal responsibility for some of the problems in our world, we can certainly take on a sense of collective responsibility and work towards a more gender balanced society. Honoring the divine feminine is also something we work hard on in our Yogic Mystery School through a process designed around the Ultimate Shakti.
Tantra offers powerful ways to connect with this sacred archetype. Of course, Tantra is not the only way, but it provides a plethora of possibilities. If you would like to explore some of these possibilities with our Yogic Mystery School students and me, I invite you to sign up for three free lessons to help you build your perspective on how we approach this divine principle. It is a start, perhaps even superficial, but it is something! It gives you some sense of our sensitivities.
In closing, please be clear that our process does not undermine men or their efforts to be good humans in our world. We would, however, be in denial if we functioned on the premise that there is nothing wrong in the world about how men channel their divinity and represent its sacredness for women and children.
