Few things govern male behavior more than how we are programmed to view life. Despite the vast variety of men on the planet, a conjunction of biology and socialization have produced males who generally know how to, and are expected to, be able to fix what needs fixing. Forget the particular skills a man has; just look at how he approaches life.
The exceptions are generally men who have the capacity, whether inborn or deliberately cultivated, to approach life differently. Whoa! Before we go further, let’s be clear that there’s a mighty big need for people of all genders to be able to solve problems. So a different approach is not necessarily a superior one.
Still, there are huge areas of life that don’t lend themselves to problem-solving. That is because they are not problems. An example is spiritual life. If a spiritual life is worth anything, it is a life that can be practiced. That is, it has to be practicable. But “practicable” and “practical” are two different things. Reducing deep spritual insights or profound wisdom to 1-2-3 steps, rules and regulations, or immutable laws, is a sure way to miss a number of important truths that provoke wonder, awe, and deep inspiration. The tendency to reduce religion to something that is patently believable is to rob it of the power to open our eyes and hearts to things that aren’t so obvious, even “impossible” things that don’t fit “normal” expectations.
Sex is another area that a great many people approach as problem territory. So courses, manuals, techniques, medications, therapies, and all manner of online resources approach sex as something that “should function” thus and so but is often “dysfunctional.” Of course, sometimes any or all of those things can be useful in addressing sexual issues. But few if any of them address the mysterious, unknown, veiled realities that frequently don’t respond to medications and techniques nor operate according to conventional morality.
We invite you to January’s Jonathan’s Circle Live to take a look at how you approach the parts of life that aren’t easily reduced to problems and fixes, as well as to those that beg to be approached as problems to be solved. The bottom line is what serves us well and what would serve us better, not what our most accustomed approach to life is.
Come and
• share your own experiences of how you approach life
• listen to others whose insights might deepen your own self-understanding
• ponder how you might recalibrate your methods of addressing things that in one way or another pose challenges—to everyday living, to “normal” thinking, to meeting your deep needs
