The Overleaves > The Seven Centers
Male Moving Centred World
doodeedoo:
Hey, do you know when Michael said this world is all messed up and agressive because it is male and moving centred? And that Soleal's world is feminine and intellectually centred, and way better.
Lets change the centre.
Dave:
Sounds fine to me. 8)

Personally I have no problem with maleness, aggressiveness, or moving-centeredness. In fact, I think all those things are pretty great, when applied correctly. Nor do I think the world is messed up - it is exactly what it's supposed to be. But that doesn't mean we can't make it better ;)

Centering is one of the Teachings most useful concepts, for me. But I've always applied it on an individual basis. Applying it on a more exalted, Worldly basis, is as they say "beyond my pay grade."
For me, Centering is that initial response, or impulsive reaction to a stimulus. In my case that would be to think about it. This gets followed by a "Trap" of emotion, followed by a "Healing" of Moving Centered action. So it's a multi-step process that will take time, and allow for lots of choices, information, and complexity along the way. Changing a Center is likely not a simple thing, the consequences and implications profound and long term - for an individual or at a World basis.
If the World is currently in a Physical or Moving Centered phase, it didn't get there overnight. It likely evolved to be there over time. In some larger sense it is probably needed and useful. I think back to a Worldly inspirational period in the 1960s snd 70s. A time of societal questioning and change. Now is a good time to make value choices snd impliment them via the Moving Centered activity of implimentIng new and better economic policy (more equality), social practices (women and minorities), our sense of the role of humanity in the greater scheme of things (environmentalism) and etc. etc.

--- End quote ---
These perspectives seem more about soul age than centering. And the US has certainly been doing this dance for decades now, shifting back and forth between young soul and mature soul values. If connected at all, we're probably seeing a stand-off between physical centered reactions and the emotional center.
Take our current political climate. We have young soul values pitted against early mature. The nation is heavily divided along these lines. It's almost like a symbolic civil war. President Obama represented an opportunity for change, while Donald Trump represents the status quo, the leader who will take things back to the way they were. People are terrified of change, and I wonder if early mature souls will find themselves supporting Trump, thus embracing the mature soul lesson of serving a corrupt master? We shall see.
Best,
Dave
