Magical weapons, Hogwarts, and Snow White: How Media Brought me to Balance

The finality of fear lies in the tethering of the head and the heart. Letting not one lead, but blissfully walking hand-in-hand. 

Neither one representing a tipping of the Libra scale, but lovingly regarding one another. 

An egalitarian unity that amplifies the powerful characteristics of both. 

Creating a wise life, rife with opportunity beyond primary opposition of one another. 

Ask yourself, 'If you were given two magical gifts would you favor only one?'

How many times have we heard it said, "He's very logical and/or she's very passionate?" I'd say well over enough times.  The inference then is that some use their heart to make decisions, while others use their heads.  

Furthermore (and not to delve to deep into my feminism) often times the use of one's head is given a more masculine nature, while using the heart seems to be a marked trait of the illogical, fickle female.

A media consumer as a child, I immediately resented that illogical female lead.  "Use your head woman! Snap out of it!" *slap,slap* Screaming inside my six-year-old-mind, why can't this woman get herself together?! Why does she need a man to help her think when she has a brain?   

Quickly I realized the only strong female leads in these profoundly-jarring films, like Little Mermaid and Snow White ;) were the female villains (also capable of deceiving the emotional woman, mind you).  They were the powerful ones, the magical and strong ones. And they were also demonize because they had a trait that only masculine roles should possess...logic. Strategy. Methodologies. Persuasion. True MAGIC.  

And so then the war in my life began. The war between that fickle heart and the tried-and-true mind. I might be six, but even I know better than to eat apples from terrifyingly wicked looking old ladies or to trade the gift of my beautiful voice for some daft prince who can't tell the difference between me and an impostor. Cognitive dissonance.

So I have a few choices though in life, right? I can become evil, become stupid, or become a man.  And while I don't judge you if you choose any of those options, none of them really fit very well for me. Although, I've for certainly tried on another's shoes in one way or the other across that entire spectrum, fast-forward through my colorful past and cue my present.

I realized the mind had a great power and that through using logic and pragmatics I could further any goal, any intention.  I reconciled with that emotional heart and found that just because they call her weak she has the power of compassion, empathy, and LOVE.  And I also realized don't let your kids watch Disney...The End.

I kid, I kid. Jk. Lol. and all that jazz.

I realized much of this through pioneering an eccentric path and getting older, obviously. But I also realized that through using PSYCH-K balancing. Balanced magic, an empowering spell. This technique has balanced these two beautiful forces within me and created a quality of life I hadn't realized was possible.  I realized neither  The Head nor The Heart led decision was bad, not even the femininity or the masculinity given to each was bad, but rather both useful (man or women). 

And were even more powerful in combination. Now granted everyone gets a choose-your-own adventure (no judgement on your adventure plans) but a beautiful integration of your two strongest weapons, we'll call it your Combotrodum (credit: Harry Potter knowledge base -i.e. my 9 yr old son) is forever worth a Hogwarts go! 

So live Ata Rasula...as my Lakota ancestors would say.  

Live a whole or wise-minded life, one that let's both the feminine and the masculine energy flow seamless together. In powerful and beautiful unity.

Bless. Blessed. Blessings.
