I. Masculine Feminine Polarity - A Relationship Guide

I wrote this book as a relationship guide— a profound exploration of the divine masculine and feminine energies. Spiritual author David Deida posits that most individuals resonate primarily in their core with either masculine or feminine energy, while a small percentage embody neither.

Through the courtship, romance, and marriage of Cutler and Catherine Beckett, readers witness an elevated portrayal of embracing these divine energies. Their story illustrates how the feminine enhances the masculine, and reciprocally, how the masculine protects and serves the feminine. Through the characters, readers can glean insights on building resilience in relationships, unbreakable bonds and profound intimacy.

Although Cutler Beckett is masculine at his core, and Catherine Beckett is feminine at her core, their characters exhibit mastery of both energies at various points. For instance, Catherine's moments of confronting Blackbeard and leading field missions exemplify masculine traits, while Cutler Beckett's instances of vulnerability and openness reflect feminine attributes. Catherine's guidance facilitates Lord Beckett's embrace of his divine masculine essence—caring for something beyond his individual goals—while nurturing his feminine traits, essential for inner balance. As he said in his proposal to her, she has softened the rigidity of his life.

In their dynamic, Cutler Beckett's authority and leadership create a space where Catherine feels secure enough to relax. His strong presence offers her a sense of calm, enabling her to embrace her creative and mystical abilities without feeling the need to play the hero constantly. Feminine women will not be open intimately unless they feel truly safe to relax into their feminine nature. That they don't have to protect themselves. They may go through the motions of intimacy, but true openness the way Catherine gave Cutler Beckett only occurs when the feminine truly feels completely safe.

Individuals rooted in the feminine are often drawn to those anchored in the masculine. The core of masculinity is self-directedness and a life mission, traits very evident in Lord Beckett. His unwavering focus on his mission and success fosters Catherine's sense of safety and appreciation, that he can always get things done, that he can always provide. When the feminine supports the masculine's mission, as Catherine does when she gives him playfulness and solace from the wars of life, helps him find his own strength, and accepts him completely as a man by providing her unconditional love, she gives Lord Beckett a sense of fulfillment and freedom to be and grow even more.

The divine masculine embodies purpose through service and protection, while the divine feminine epitomizes liberation and openness. Catherine's unreserved openness to Lord Beckett and his reciprocation—incorporating her views into his path—marks their growth and mutual evolution. For masculine men, the genuine feminine energy is both a gift and a key to unlocking their full potential. Catherine's presence empowered Lord Beckett, fostering a relationship of dedication and unwavering loyalty.

Catherine is always open to Lord Beckett, and only to him. Her powerful femininity is the only thing that would soften and open a man like Lord Cutler Beckett. This is the extraordinary power of the feminine. The masculine, in its perceived stressful life of hardships, actually craves true feminine energy – it is the greatest gift to him, and the greatest power to unlock the masculine to his fullest potential. Because Catherine gave him that gift, he was inspired to naturally give her everything she needed as a feminine woman, and they became extremely dedicated and loyal partners to each other. Because of her openness and acceptance of him and her inherent respect for him, he is finally able to feel free. And freedom is something masculine men crave in their core.

For most masculine men, relationships mean loss of freedom, but with an open and free woman like Catherine, Lord Beckett was able to feel even more free within a marriage than he was as a single man. This is because Catherine added value to his life, and vice versa. She did not criticize him, was never contemptuous toward him and trusted him in his decisions, following his lead. She opened herself to him (in more ways than one) and was her authentic feminine self, unapologetically. In turn, Lord Beckett gave her his leadership and presence to make her feel seen, understood, and safe, which is what the feminine craves from the masculine. The masculine craves the authentic feminine, which has been neutralized in most of modern society.
