The Journey of the Beloved Daughter 1 of 3

Dr. Chavez shows the struggle women have in becoming the Beloved Daughter when men are emasculated and lose their place. If a man’s hearts was not opened up by his father and other male mentors, it will be difficult to open up to the women in his life. When women open themselves up to being led, being protected, and being provided for, men will more readily rise to the occasion. Women need mentors who can guide them to surrender to male leadership. A woman is understood best not from what she does, but from the core movements of her heart: to be received, to be surrendered, and to be selfless. The heart of the daughter is most central to a woman, for to be received and accepted reaches to the core of a woman’s psychic being.
