In
this issue of the Feminenza Magazine you will find writings
which introduce the concept that in the female gender different
dimensions, natures and dynamics can be discerned, each with
their own needs and intelligences. The members of Feminenza
have put together the first findings and researches about
this fascinating world, but much more can be discovered. The
understanding of these dimensions really is the backbone of
the special development journey which every woman can undertake.
As some writings refer to these dimensions, we want to give
the reader an initial introduction about them. Within this
we want to emphasise that the importance does not lie so much
in the titles, but more in the understanding of the essence
of these dimensions. Of course much more can be revealed about
these dynamics; the understanding of them is, as we have found,
essential and helpful in beginning to understand oneself.
The
ways and traditions
of the country you are born
in have a strong influence
on the Female.

The
first dimension
The Female - The Elementary Self
This dimension could also be called the Biological Self. It concerns
the physical aspect, the development of which is the same for all
women from Birth, to Puberty to Menopause and further. You are born
with this dimension, and soon after it starts to show elementary
characteristics, in behaviour, emotions and psychology. Also the
ways and traditions of the country you are born in have a strong
influence on this dimension.
The
second dimension
The Woman - The Maturing Self
She becomes active in the period of Puberty, in which important
physical changes take place, but also mental, emotional and social
changes. Girls become fertile women and gradually gain new insights
and greater capabilities of the mind. Suddenly there is the consideration
of the whole world and what is going on in it, often quite a lot
to handle. It takes time to find a new balance, and for some this
is easier than for others. From this period - if all goes well -
arises a maturing woman, who becomes more and more capable and learns
to manage the many aspects of life. This is the Woman in full bloom
and glory, of whom much is demanded and who always faces the challenge
of keeping the right balances in her life. However, she is not alone,
the third dimension is always there and ready to offer help.

The
third dimension
The Lady - The Wise Self
The first two dimensions really need this dimension, the Lady. She
keeps the bigger picture and one’s purpose in life in mind, by which
the activities of the Female and the Woman are being measured. She
will keep an eye on both of them and makes sure that the balances
between wellbeing and what needs to be done are kept, in a skilful
way. She also helps the first two dimensions to refine in what they
do and how they respond. When the Wise Self is active, one will
feel a wisdom, peace and settlement coming from the female gender,
which can have a strong influence on all those around her. This
dimension needs to be developed, and the qualities which go with
it are for example tact, insight in human psychology and understanding.
The
fourth dimension
The Tenant - The Inner Self
This dimension is often recognised as the inner voice each person
has in themselves, which tries to guide them through the course
of their life. The question is always how well we can listen to
these inner signals and if we are able to translate them. The overall
growing consciousness we can have about our situation and our life
is to do with this dimension, the Inner Self.
The
fifth dimension
The Embassy
This dimension really has to do with the development of our consciousness
that we in all our dimensions, are connected in one process to all
dimensions outside of us. To know and feel oneself to be connected
with everything seen and unseen, and the wish to serve the greater
purpose of that. We see this dimension in the lives of people, of
whom we know today that they have played an important role in history.
They are seen as special people, because they worked for a greater
cause than just their own lives.
