If You Want to Change the World, Love a Woman (2008)

When a fairly spiritual male friend of mine, who had finally found and was deepening into committed relationship with his soul mate, confided in me he was thinking of being single again, and in the next breath expressed his latest idea for raising consciousness worldwide, I wrote this poem:

If you want to change the world… love a woman-really love her.
Find the one who calls to your soul, who doesn’t make sense.
Throw away your check list and put your ear to her heart and listen.

Hear the names, the prayers, the songs of every living thing-
every winged one, every furry and scaled one,
every underground and underwater one, every green and flowering one,
every not yet born and dying one…

Hear their melancholy praises back to the One who gave them life.

If you haven’t heard your own name yet, you haven’t listened long enough.

If your eyes aren’t filled with tears, if you aren’t bowing at her feet,
you haven’t ever grieved having almost lost her.

If you want to change the world… love a woman-one woman
beyond yourself, beyond desire and reason,
beyond your male preferences for youth, beauty and variety
and all your superficial concepts of freedom.

We have given ourselves so many choices
we have forgotten that true liberation
comes from standing in the middle of the soul’s fire
and burning through our resistance to Love.

There is only one Goddess.
Look into Her eyes and see-really see
if she is the one to bring the axe to your head.
If not, walk away. Right now.
Don’t waste time “trying.”

Know that your decision has nothing to do with her
because ultimately it’s not with who,
but when we choose to surrender.

If you want to change the world… love a woman.
Love her for life-beyond your fear of death,
beyond your fear of being manipulated
by the Mother inside your head.

Don’t tell her you’re willing to die for her.
Say you’re willing to LIVE with her,
plant trees with her and watch them grow.

Be her hero by telling her how beautiful she is in her vulnerable majesty,
by helping her to remember every day that she IS Goddess
through your adoration and devotion.

If you want to change the world… love a woman
in all her faces, through all her seasons
and she will heal you of your schizophrenia-
your double-mindedness and half-heartedness
which keeps your Spirit and body separate-
which keeps you alone and always looking outside your Self
for something to make your life worth living.

There will always be another woman.
Soon the new shiny one will become the old dull one
and you’ll grow restless again, trading in women like cars,
trading in the Goddess for the latest object of your desire.

Man doesn’t need any more choices.
What man needs is Woman, the Way of the Feminine,
of Patience and Compassion, non-seeking, non-doing,
of breathing in one place and sinking deep intertwining roots
strong enough to hold the Earth together
while she shakes off the cement and steel from her skin.

If you want to change the world… love a woman, just one woman .
Love and protect her as if she is the last holy vessel.
Love her through her fear of abandonment
which she has been holding for all of humanity.

No, the wound is not hers to heal alone.
No, she is not weak in her codependence.
If you want to change the world… love a woman
all the way through
until she believes you,
until her instincts, her visions, her voice, her art, her passion,
her wildness have returned to her-
until she is a force of love more powerful
than all the political media demons who seek to devalue and destroy her.

If you want to change the world,
lay down your causes, your guns and protest signs.
Lay down your inner war, your righteous anger
and love a woman…
beyond all of your striving for greatness,
beyond your tenacious quest for enlightenment.

The holy grail stands before you
if you would only take her in your arms
and let go of searching for something beyond this intimacy.

What if peace is a dream which can only be re-membered
through the heart of Woman?

What if a man’s love for Woman, the Way of the Feminine
is the key to opening Her heart?

If you want to change the world…love a woman
to the depths of your shadow,
to the highest reaches of your Being,
back to the Garden where you first met her,
to the gateway of the rainbow realm
where you walk through together as Light as One,
to the point of no return,
to the ends and the beginning of a new Earth

TO THE MEN WILLING TO RISE

There comes a moment in a man's life when he encounters not just a woman, but an awakened woman—a soul who remembers who she is.

She is not here to stroke your ego, entertain your insecurities, or play the role of a wounded healer in your unhealed story.

She is a mirror of the sacred—and if you still cling to outdated notions of masculinity based on dominance, pride, and achievement, you won't even recognize her light.

She doesn't shout, argue, or seek validation through chaos.

She has mastered the art of silence and surrender—not as weakness, but as power.

She doesn't punish with anger.
She rebuffs with truth.
She doesn't settle—she sees.
And if she sees that you are not a deep man, a man with soul, she won't linger.

Because an awakened woman doesn't seek attention. She waits for alignment.

She is a warrior of the heart, forged by fire and refined by pain. Her love is a sacred flame—it isn't given to a man who still plays games. She waits for a man who has experienced his own darkness and emerged honest, humble, and unscathed. A man whose masculinity isn't based on control, but on awareness.

She isn't impressed by how much you earn or how many women you've had. She listens to the language of truth. She watches how you deal with your own shadow. She isn't moved by bravado—she is moved by the quiet strength of a man who has fought his demons and not run away.

Only when a man has torn down the walls around his heart and dared to bare his soul can he face her as an equal. Only then does she open the gates to her inner garden—that sacred place where love flows freely, not because you asked for it, but because you've proven yourself worthy to receive it.

A true man isn't afraid of its depth. He doesn't recoil in the face of its ferocity or wisdom. He respects its temple and knows that her body isn't a conquest—it's a covenant.

The awakened woman walks with grace because she remembers. She knows the power she carries within. She knows that the depth of her feelings isn't a burden, but a blessing. And she knows that her heart isn't a playground for wounded boys who still pretend to be men.

She doesn't want to be saved. She wants to meet someone—soul to soul, truth to truth, flame to flame.

So if you're a man who's still afraid of vulnerability, who hides behind sarcasm or control, who sees women as objects of desire rather than reflections of the Divine, understand this: She won't try to change you. She will leave. Because her time is sacred.

But if you're a man who does the work—the real work—of healing, of accepting his wounds and becoming whole again, then she will see you. And when she does, she will give you a love so deep, so pure, so transformative, that it will feel like returning to a place you never knew you left.

Love is patient. Lust is hasty.
Love gives. Lust takes.
Love builds. Lust burns out.
Love is sacred. Lust is selfish.

And in the end, love is the only thing that endures.

Men—rise up. Work on yourselves. Sharpen your minds. Refine your heart. For the awakened woman is not a fantasy. She exists. And she is waiting for the man who remembers who he truly is.

“ᴡʜᴇɴ ᴛᴡᴏ ʜᴀʟᴠᴇs ᴊᴏɪɴ, ᴛʜᴇʏ ᴍɪʀʀᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴜɴɪᴛʏ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴇᴀᴠᴇɴs,” Sefer Yetzirah states, “ʀᴇꜰʟᴇᴄᴛɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴇᴀᴜᴛʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴏʀᴅᴇʀ ᴏꜰ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛɪᴏɴ.” In this sacred union, twin flames harmonize with the 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵, anchoring divine love on earth and channeling healing energy into the collective consciousness. This sacred pattern echoes the grand design, manifesting divine love in a way that transcends individual experience and resonates with the universe’s order.

⁵. ʜɪᴇʀᴏs ɢᴀᴍᴏs ᴀs sᴇʀᴠɪᴄᴇ: ꜰᴜʟꜰɪʟʟɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛᴡɪɴ ꜰʟᴀᴍᴇ ᴍɪssɪᴏɴ

The union of twin flames through Hieros Gamos is not simply a private experience; it also serves a larger purpose within the divine plan. Kabbalistic teachings suggest that the reunion of twin flames is an act of divine service. The Pistis Sophia portrays those who achieve divine union as “ʙᴇᴀʀᴇʀs ᴏꜰ ʟɪɢʜᴛ” with a mission to inspire and uplift others, channeling divine love into the world.

Through this sacred mission, twin flames become conduits of divine blessings, illuminating others by their example of unconditional love and unity. The Zohar describes this as a holy mission, emphasizing that “ᴡʜᴇɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛᴡᴏ ᴜɴɪᴛᴇ, ᴛʜᴇʏ ᴄʜᴀɴɴᴇʟ ᴅɪᴠɪɴᴇ ʙʟᴇssɪɴɢs ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ, ʀᴀɪsɪɴɢ ᴜᴘ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀs ᴀɴᴅ ꜰᴜʟꜰɪʟʟɪɴɢ ᴀ ʜᴏʟʏ ᴍɪssɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ʟᴏᴠᴇ.” Thus, Hieros Gamos extends beyond personal fulfillment, anchoring twin flames in their service to humanity’s spiritual evolution.

⁶. ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴏsᴍɪᴄ ᴘᴇʀsᴘᴇᴄᴛɪᴠᴇ: ʜɪᴇʀᴏs ɢᴀᴍᴏs ᴀs ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀsᴀʟ ʜᴀʀᴍᴏɴʏ

Ultimately, Hieros Gamos reflects a universal harmony that mirrors the greater balance of creation. According to Kabbalistic thought, the union of twin flames embodies the principles of cosmic order, where the joining of dualities mirrors the universe’s innate equilibrium. As the Sefer Yetzirah states, “ᴛʜʀᴏᴜɢʜ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴅᴜᴀʟɪᴛɪᴇs, ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴏsᴍᴏs ᴀᴄʜɪᴇᴠᴇs ᴇǫᴜɪʟɪʙʀɪᴜᴍ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ sᴏᴜʟ ʀᴇᴛᴜʀɴs ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ sᴏᴜʀᴄᴇ.” Here, the Sacred Marriage creates a harmony that resonates on both the personal and cosmic scales, embodying a microcosm of divine unity.

In this way, twin flames serve as living reflections of divine balance, mirroring the interconnectedness of all creation. Hieros Gamos thus becomes an expression of love’s power to restore and unify, aligning individual love with the eternal harmony of the cosmos.

sᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ

In essence, ʜɪᴇʀᴏs ɢᴀᴍᴏs within the twin flame journey represents a ᴄᴏɴᴠᴇʀɢᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏꜰ ɪɴɴᴇʀ ᴀʟᴄʜᴇᴍʏ, universal harmony, and sacred service. This union allows twin flames to transcend duality, fulfilling their purpose as conduits for divine love and cosmic order. Through Hieros Gamos, the twin flames’ journey completes a cycle of wholeness, mirroring the harmony of all creation and embodying love’s power to unite and elevate the soul. This sᴀᴄʀᴇᴅ ᴍᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇ, which transcends lifetimes, stands as the essence of divine oneness—a universal reminder of the interconnected journey toward spiritual unity.
