A feminine version of this wolf parable would be much more aligned, I think, with lifting up values of cooperation and mutual empowerment and creativity, and also even values like kindness, like loving kindness and tenderness, and mercy would be not always sweet and mild, but sometimes ferocious, as the sacred feminine is.
Have you ever wondered about the role of feminine energy in spirituality? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Mirabai Starr, an award-winning author known for her contemporary translations of sacred texts and teachings on interspirituality. With over two decades of experience teaching Philosophy and World Religions, Mirabai brings a wealth of knowledge to the table as they explore the divine feminine and its impact on spiritual practice.
Mirabai's latest book, *WILD MERCY: Living the Fierce & Tender Wisdom of the Women Mystics*, serves as a backdrop for their conversation. They delve into how reclaiming feminine wisdom can enrich our spiritual lives and personal growth. Mirabai highlights the wildness inherent in the creative act, encouraging listeners to incorporate this energy into their practices. The discussion also touches on the challenges of living an inter-spiritual life and the importance of recognizing unconscious biases within spiritual communities.
Social unrest and its influence on spiritual beliefs is another key topic. Mirabai points out that many traditional belief systems are being tested in today's turbulent times, urging listeners to stay engaged and work towards healing a fractured world. She also emphasizes honoring the context of spiritual teachings and being mindful of their origins. Creativity and spirituality are deeply intertwined in Mirabai's view.
She shares how creativity has been a sacred tradition in her family for generations and suggests incorporating chanting into meditation as a way to connect with this wild, creative energy. Throughout the episode, Mirabai and Eric offer practical advice on balancing masculine and feminine energies in our lives, making this a must-listen for anyone interested in personal growth and spiritual exploration.
