A man fully experiences masculinity within himself when he recognises his genuine strength. A man’s true strength is the capacity to carry the burden of existence and its suffering.

A genuine man does not close his being against the suffering and fears of life, but remains fully present in each moment with an open chest.

Developed masculine energy flows not toward the self but toward fertilising life, creating consciousness and protecting awareness. Its nature is action. A genuine man allows consciousness to flow through every moment of life and through his actions as though nothing were more important than here and now. He is a man who nourishes not only the spirit of his family and his own life but also the spirit of his society, giving fully to the world the gift he has cultivated within himself through consciousness and action.

No man can develop his masculine energies without genuine contact with the sources of the feminine spirit within himself. A man who has recovered his genuine strength is an ideal sovereign who carries the suffering of the world upon his shoulders, while the powers of femininity and human creativity are given space to shine above his strong hands and flow into the life of the world.
