We live in strange times when two visions of the human body are clashing: a Judeo-Christian view which preaches that the body is the vessel of evil and a vision that celebrates as ultimate reality a fantasy image of the body. In the gay community, this dualistic and conflict perception seems exaggerated.
First the body is a vehicle which carries a number of scars from our childhood. We have all heard and experienced the "do not run like a girl", "throw the ball like a man!" All these sentences which show a total lack of compassion have deeply challenged our own perception of our body and our masculinity. Years later as if to prove to the demons of our past that we deserve our title of "man" we, gay people, are in a race to become a kind of ideal male and so we filled the gyms and our world focuses on the celebration of hedonism and the body. Does this race toward the perfect look make us successful men and help us to make peace with the expression of our identity? No, I do not think so.
It took me many years to understand it, and I am far from having traveled the entire path, but there is another way. This path sings the real nature of masculinity which is expressed not through the veil of appearances but in the expression of our deepest identity. The male is a sacred concept: a kind of energy and a kind of archetype which are expressed by the courage of a man, by the demonstration of his sense of brotherhood, by his ability to protect those he loves, by the force with which he will defend his truth and by the passion of his gestures.
Masculinity has therefore nothing to do with the ability to throwing a perfect ball or with the ephemeral and illusory perfection of a body frozen in time. Actually there are an infinite number of body shapes, all of which serve as vessels to this Sacred Masculinity. Some men are evanescent, thin and seemingly fragile like creatures made of air... Others are slender, finely muscled, showing a burning energy... Still others express the powerful Northern Land through massive quarrying and hairy chest... There are an infinite number of bodies which all evolve over time.Swingers Atrticles
The male body expresses all its beauty through the unique way in which we live. When we are centered in our truth and when we align ourselves with our inner nature then we radiate. We leave the specific expression of our Sacred Masculinity shine in all its depth.Swingers Site Reviews
Sometimes by the light of the stars or when the wind sings to me of ancient legends, I dream of a new generation free of prejudices on the body, of a new generation of gay men who having found the Sacred Masculinity would release the shackles forged by a feeling of revenge and defiance.
