Patriarchy: A Sacred Purpose Hidden in the Ashes of Cataclysm

The word "patriarchy" often gets thrown around as if it's something inherently toxic, a relic of oppression that needs to be dismantled. But what if I told you that patriarchy originally served a sacred purpose? What if, instead of simply discarding it, we took a step back and integrated its lessons?


Patriarchy wasn't born out of greed or dominance; it arose out of necessity, following a cataclysm that occurred thousands of years ago—a disaster that indigenous cultures and ancient religious texts often refer to as "the Great Flood." It’s the same catastrophic event that we're unknowingly recreating today.


Now, modern science is starting to recognize the possibility of such a global event, backed by increasing evidence. But this isn’t news to ancient wisdom keepers. The way it was taught to me is that this cataclysm wiped out 90% of the world's population. The earth’s waters, surging up from its very core, exploded outward. The devastation left humanity in dire need of quick, structured rebuilding—enter patriarchy. It provided the cardinal fire, the drive, to rapidly reconstruct the world.


But here’s where things went awry. When the need for rebuilding diminished, that same fire wasn’t recalibrated. Instead of gracefully abdicating, the system transformed into something else—war, competition, domination. And it’s still here today because we, as a collective, have yet to emotionally mature. The trauma of that ancient catastrophe remains lodged deep within our subconscious, passed down unknowingly from generation to generation.


Rather than calling for the death of the patriarchy, we should instead focus on integrating its lessons, allowing us to come into balance and union within ourselves. What we don’t understand, we often fear and resist, and in doing so, we feed the very thing we want to dismantle. This is how trauma works.


Trauma, at its core, is an electrical voltage of emotions trapped in the subconscious mind. The divine feminine, deeply concerned with the emotional realm, governs this world of energy. E-motion—electrical motion—literally propels life forward. But when emotions get stuck, they create loops in the subconscious, repeating patterns until they’re understood. This is why we find ourselves stuck in cycles—repeating the same relationships, jobs, struggles—over and over again. Until we learn.


Right now, as a collective, we’re recreating the original cataclysm—this tension, this feeling of a tidal wave about to hit, it’s not just in your head. It’s real. We’re on the cusp of something.


But there is a solution. By integrating the trauma caused by that ancient event—by remembering and understanding it—we can dissolve the patterns of war and competition. This will pave the way for a new paradigm, a culture of collaboration where we offer ourselves in service to one another, not in opposition.


The patriarchy’s sacred purpose wasn’t wrong. It simply hasn’t been fully integrated. And once it is, we’ll move beyond competition into a unified, collaborative future.
