Oh wow. I am feeling into the question and I strongly believe patriarchy HAS BEEN a trauma response for me. And I've been shifting steadily to live into more loving, creative and life sustaining responses my entire life. Two other things come to my mind. First, what would I be doing if I wasn't enmeshed in any trauma response and especially the patriarchy. Well, I am doing IT now... intentional creativity. I have often wondered what I would have or could have done in my life had I not been abused. But I quickly shift my thinking bc I know many people who have not had trauma in their lives and they have not done much w their life. (No judgment. This is what they shared w me.)
The trauma I lived through guided my mindset and career. I helped thousands of people to provide safety and security for their children and I put an end to sexual abuse of children from early as infant age to age 17. I used my intuition alongside the powers of the patriarchy to win cases and keep pedophiles from having contact w children.
The great floods you speak about where people fled to safe places for protection took my minds eye to an image of what I, and other survivors of abuse had to do which was to flee. When we are flooded w emotions due to trauma we naturally run to a place for protection. Church's, hospitals, even psych wards and traditional therapists have strong roots in the patriarchy. That's where the money is in many cases.
I don't know if I am explaining myself right to get my point across. But I do think that the patriarchy is a trauma response. For me, I knew the old ways were not working for me and that's where intention setting came in. And it's how I began to travel, write, study w Barbara Marx Hubbard and eventually you Shiloh.
I think you are onto something big here. If blood types evolved due to shifts in agriculture then why can't trauma and emotional responses evolve over thousands and thousands of years. I am no historian but conceptually this seems like a brilliant inquiry you've posed.
I was thinking of this post as I was watching the Netflix documentary = One of Us about Hasidic Jews who are trying to leave the community. The trauma of WWII is passed on to the next generations in the abuse they receive and the rigid life they feel forced into. Definitely more food for thought calling patriarchy a trauma response. Heartbreaking
What if we were and could be available for Accountability for who, where & what we are. If I could spend less time offering the idea of personal ownership and accountability and folks could be in inquiry over trauma responses or blaming. What if we held ourselves accountable and took responsibility for the greater growth over blame and shame. That's what I'm pondering from both this post & Jonathans post @theintrntionaltable What could be possible, that's a juicy thought within me today. 🥰💜
