From war to ecological collapse  most of the worlds critical problems stem from a distorted masculinity out of control. Yet our culture rewards the very dysfunctions responsible for those problems.  To Matthew Fox  our crucial task is to open our minds to a deeper understanding of the healthy masculine than we receive from our media  culture  and religions. Popular religion forces the punitive imagery of fundamentalism on us  pushing most men away from their natural yearning for spirituality and toward intolerance and domination. Meanwhile  many men  particularly young men  are looking for images of healthy masculinity to emulate and finding nothing.  To awaken what Fox calls the sacred masculine  he unearths ten metaphors  or archetypes  ranging from the Green Man  an ancient pagan symbol of our fundamental relationship with nature  to the Grandfatherly Heart to the Spiritual Warrior. He explores archetypes of sacred marriage  showing how partnership becomes the ultimate expression of healthy masculinity. By stirring our natural yearning for healthy spirituality  Fox argues  these timeless archetypes can inspire men to pursue their higher calling to reinvent the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952288067637,"sku":"ByrdShop_157731607X","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781577316077.jpg?v=1770157794","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-hidden-spirituality-of-men-ten-metaphors-to-awaken-the-sacred-masculine","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
