I’m taking a break from editing. Why? Because the impulse is strong to have what is moving inside of me made public. For the last few days I have been letting the words androgynous godForce rumble through me. It all started with an email I received from Louise LeBrun on an audio file I posted in the WEL-Systems® Institute engage area for my fellow CODE Model Coaches™ and Affiliates. She wrote:
“To know the effects of culture on the device is one thing; to fall into the trap of engaging from that, is another story. I hear you – and you are becoming androgynous. All godforce.”
And so began the unveiling of, and recognition of, a truth that I have held for so long. It’s not about the content of our experience. It’s about:
- What we make of the content.
- Who we believe ourselves to be based on the content of our experiences.
- Choosing to own it, or not.
- Recognizing when I am the four, eight, sixteen year old and when I’m the 48 year old.
- Knowing we have choice!
I have to stop and breath as I feel the surge of expansion coursing through me, I feel myself in the void and here, in my body, at the same time. This is what it means to be spirit living in tissue.
As a god Force I have no gender. YES, I live in a woman’s body and I know I am SO MUCH MORE. YES you live in a man’s body and YOU are so much MORE. Yes each of had experiences growing up, and those experiences shaped who we believed ourselves to be. No one told us growing up in our family system is a PROCESS, that’s it! Put something different into the process and you get a different result.
How many of us live our lives putting the same ingredients into the process of living. How many of us believe what we see outside ourselves is REAL? My reality is what I make it to be. It is that simple.
I’m reading The Untethered Soul again. The last two chapters I read speak to the limits, the binds, that we create for ourselves. What came up for me is the metaphor, through the experience of our childhoods we build the structures (strategies/habits) that we think will keep us safe; it becomes our reality. We forgot, and we are not told, there is a different way to BE. We put boundaries and limits on ourselves to keep us ‘safe’. It’s an illusion. I can stay in my house for days, thinking I’m keeping myself out of the cold or the heat, it’s only when I go outside I remember what it feels like to smell and feel the air, the wind and the warmth of the sun on my skin.
What does all of this have to do with androgynous godForce? It’s only when I open my eyes I can see the effects of how my family, culture/society, city/state has shaped who I believe I am, as a woman, maybe for you as a man. Only then can I see I am can choose to be no longer trapped in believing I must behave and act in certain ways. How different would our lives look if we engaged godForce to godForce? What if we stripped away the layers of cultural conditioning, and saw ourselves as the fully capable, massive beings that we are?
Want to know a secret? We know this as children.
When I chose to take a breath and KNOW I am MORE; own I AM androgynous godForce, do I know I am MORE. When I choose to engage my life from this space things happen at mach speed, I SEE and EXPERIENCE my world differently.
My call to you is this… take a day, just one day and remove the cloak of gender from yourself. How does
an androgynous FORCE move through the world? And if you’re up for it post what you discovered in the comments section.
Until the next time!
Thank you for reading and/or listening…and now you are feeling…connected to the content? Agitated? A range of emotions you can’t quite put your finger on?
Hello Lisa,
To see your words here in print – made me smile, took my breath away for a moment, and then I remembered to exhale. To see, and read your wisdom, and discoveries shared here, it is deeply meaningful. Thank you for your courage to speak and share what is true to you in the written word. You articulate clearly what matters, and resonants deep within me. I for one have had the pleasure to be in these on-going conversations with you around the limits around our cultural conditioning of gender. It is through these conversations I have come to know the power of owning, androgynous godforce, the power of choice and the power to voice our own unique wisdom.
With much respect, integrity and generosity of spirit. Nancy
Thanks Nancy!
I spent the evening engaging with two godForces who are classified as men. The conversation was intense and moved so much in me. We spoke of warrior and obstacles, I came away with sometimes the thing to overcome is choosing to let go, to not brace against letting go. To stop, before we get to the end especially when we create, with greater intensity, obstacles that indicate stopping is the choice to make. I’m sure the conversation with the godForces, who are classified as women will be just as juicy tomorrow evening.
I have had to let go of my own expectations of what it will look like for any individual. I could make up all kinds of stories and the bottom line is those who are ready to see and hear a different call within themselves will engage! The WEL-Quote, posted today is a reflection of how to be deeply caring and indifferent at the same time.
Thanks!
At the turn of this last century, I remember reading that a lot more androgynous babies would be born. And that this was a necessary part of our changing times.
So It’s great that you remind us that we can all step into this!

Hi Pamela,
thanks! I wonder how many parents of those babies will be pressured to ‘choose’ male or female. I believe when we REMEMBER we are so much more than the devices we come here in the world with BE a different place.
