 Hello everybody welcome to our next installment of the Return of the Divine Cynthia Today we're going to be reading chapter eight footprints of the mother if this is your first time here on the channel as always Welcome, I'm so happy you're here And I'm really happy that you're interested in this topic that we're exploring which is really the return to the Divine Feminine Of course if this is your first time I would suggest starting with part one down in the description box below in both Rumble and YouTube There will be a link to that playlist so you can start from the very beginning All right, so if you're with me and you've got your own book copy then we're gonna be starting on page one at 42 Again, this is chapter eight footprints of the mother Humanity has imagined her as the immensity of cosmic space as the moon as the earth and nature She's the age-old symbol of invisible dimensions of soul and the Instinctive intelligence that informs it we live within her being yet. We know almost nothing about her She is everything that is still unfathomed by us about the nature of the universe matter and the invisible energy That circulates through all the different aspects of her being She spends in weaves the shimmering robe of life in which we live and through which we are connected to all cosmic life Andrew Harvey and Ann Baron the Divine Feminine as I entered more deeply into an understanding of these mysteries over the next few years I was to learn about a completely different type of human history from what we were taught about in school today through the writings of brave pioneers such as archeological Marija Gambutas and Alexander Marshak historians of Barbara Walker brand Esler and Merlin stone international authors Andrew Harvey and Ann Barring and Ceremonial teacher Z Budapest. I learned that for hundreds of years Our modern society has been a victim of a political and religious cover-up Designed to conceal a time when human beings lived in a more egalitarian and humane societies Before the war mongering ages of the patriarch descended There were earlier eras on this planet that honored the divine mother as the Cretrix of all life These societies had a completely different paradigm for human partnership from what we have today And before we go on any further something I forgot to do at the beginning Which I think is really important because as we know the powers that be don't want us talking about this So I'm gonna ask I'm gonna call in Michael and Gabriel and all of my guides that are here for my highest good and for all of the people Watching highest good to be present right now to make sure that this recording device is working To make sure that the audio and the video line up together. I ask that any Beings whether they be human or otherwise that are here at this moment trying to stop this I ask that they be removed right now I do not consent to them being here to interrupt this reading and again I ask that my guides, especially Michael and Gabriel be here to protect this recording All right Merlin Stone author of the seminal book when God was a woman in ancient mirrors of womanhood rights and Prehistoric and early historic periods of human development Religions existed in which people revered their supreme creator as female The great goddess the divine as centrist and be worshipped from the beginnings of the Neolithic period of 7000 BC until the closing of the last goddess temple about AD 500 Some authorities would extend goddess worship as far into the past as the upper polyathic age about of about 25,000 BC Archaeological mythological and historical evidence all revealed that the female religion Far from naturally fading away was the victim of centuries of continual persecution and suppression By the advocates of the newer religions which held male deity as supreme and From these new religions came the creation myth of Adam and Eve and the tales of the lost paradise This hidden era of earth's culture stretched back for literally thousands of years and encompassed great civilizations in the Middle East the Mediterranean Egypt Africa India Britain Polynesia Europe and North and South and Central American continents all of which had once honored the great mother as the creatress of all In time I came to realize that most of these inequities we find in our world today are direct Results of the this forgotten aspect of the queens of heaven which set us on a course that threw our core values and ourselves out of balance Our male dominated approach has led to the rape and pillage of our planet's resources The creation of hierarchical financial institutions that oppresses the poor and supports the rich and the clear sense that we are losing touch With our true place in the cosmos I can absolutely agree with this but once again as I've said in many many many of these episodes I even though I'm reading it's patriarchal as they've written it I don't believe it's a patriarchal society that we've come we've been in it's a Luciferian one again. That's because When you take away the divine feminine you also take away the divine masculine two cannot live without each other They they're in perfect balance with each other and so when you strip the divine feminine you also strip the divine masculine and so Neither have been active. It's been patriarchal because this Luciferian, right? And so when we bring the divine feminine back into the mix and to Society, we're also going to heal and bring back the divine masculine as well All right For although many of us have had in an eighth sense even a long buried memory of a time when men and women live together a Mutual respect and harmony much of the history religion and values We have inherited have been written by the victors of a patriarchal war Who have felt highly threatened by the true events of our ancestral past as I began to discover these hidden records? I was stunned to see how far back they went Barbara Moore and Sonya so Joe authors of the great cosmic mother Explained the magnitude of the lost centuries of human history It is important for us as human beings to really grasp the time dimensions involved here That God was considered female for at least the first two hundred thousand years of human life on earth And in fact the only image of the crater ever painted on rocked on rock Excuse me carved in stone are sculpted in clay for a period of about 30,000 years was that of the divine mother While this statement seems almost incomprehensible to those of us raised in conventional contemporary societies once we examine the Anthropological evidence it becomes an indisputable truth In a world where we all have been conditioned to expect violence war and competition as the norm Few of us can even conceive of a planet where human beings can live side-by-side in harmony with one another So how did this imbalance come about? How did the patriarchy gain power and how does half of the human race claim the right to suppress or belittle the other half? What happened to our understanding of the universe which led to one sex being forced into subservance while the other half claims to be superior? Why are the only role models that we have of women and Judaism Christianity in Islam the immediate Virgin and penitent prostitute are the innocent Eve who has been blamed for human kinds expulsion from paradise and Colocating these kinds of limited archetypes sends a message to women everywhere that if they stay away from the conventions Established by men they will be either condemned or cast out of society So I began to examine the archeological evidence of more ancient cultures where men and women had lived together in a harmony Let's take a look at the data that supports this hypothesis and its implications for contemporary life. You know, it's so funny She's talking about women and Judaism and Christianity I've always had a little bit of a problem with Esther Even though I love the line from the book of Esther where it says perhaps you were born for such a time as this I think it's a very true line But I remember being in Sunday school and it learning about Esther and how the king's first wife like was Banished from the kingdom because she wouldn't submit to her husband now as an adult I understand what that meant like she wouldn't have sex with them She said no and so she was banished and Eve came along and was like yes master Of course honey coming up. And so we're supposed to venerate. Yes I think I said eat Esther Esther came along and was like yes master. I'll do it for you I'll you know, she was a subservient one and we're supposed to venerate her as women But not the queen that said no, I don't want to do that with you right now Right, it's kind of fucked up, isn't it? So I get it. I get what she's saying here The world of archeological evidence One of the first people to discover the evidence for goddess-based culture was archeological Marja Gimbudas, I hope I said that right. I probably didn't but I'm trying my best Raised in Lithuania. Gimbudas studied in Austria Germany and finally the United States She became a graduate fellow at Harvard University in 1950 where she taught for 12 years in 1963 she moved to the University of California at Los Angeles and in 1967 She began her own archeological excavations in Yugoslavia, Greece, Italy These lasted for 15 years having been raised in the old country of the Lithuanian countryside where the culture was not completely Christianized until the 14th century. She had grown up with many symbols still present of the ancient mother religion that once Existed in her own country This has prompted her to become a folklore specialist and a linguist flew it in more than 25 language. Holy shit Man I can speak Sanskrit and English. I know a little bit of like Creole a little bit Which is like a form of French, but it's not like the French French. It's Creole And of course redneck. I can understand redneck, but 25 language. Damn. That's they're people that definitely have a guy I know somebody if there's a student in AYA that is picks up languages very very easily very easily and people Some people just have a gift for that So unlike her American-born colleagues in Buddhist had an intimate understanding of the symbolic language of the goddess that she had learned in childhood Between the year of 1967 1980 She was a project director at five major neolithic Digs in the southeastern Europe during the many years of her excavations in the Mediterranean particularly Greece Bulgaria and Yugoslavia and Turkey Gambutas teams began turning up artifacts that represented the Divine Mother and gambutas was able to interpret them Circle spirals volva snakes birds fish wavy lines and Labrits were all present on walls floors and pottery that they had found as well as numerous venus-like figures Gambutas recognized all of these as part of an inter inter inter Intricate that's the word intricate Symbol language once used by her ancestors linked to the idea of the feminine creator Her understanding of this symbol system created a bridge between archaeology and mythology as she came to the conclusion that the old art of the year of Europe reflected a mytho-poetic Perception of the sacredness and mystery of the natural world express a cohesive and persistent ideological system During the course of her many excavations She discovered images of the great mother going back well beyond 35,000 years These discoveries were first brought to light in 1974 with the publication of her celebrated book goddess and gods of old Europe BC Sorry gods and goddesses of old Europe six 6500 to 3500 BC myths and cold images Gambuda went on to publish several more books on the subject included the living goddess the language of the goddess the civil Age civilization of the goddess the world of old Europe and the bronze age cultures and central and eastern Europe the culture of the goddess In her books doctor at gambutas reveals that they're that these earlier Metristic cultures lived in balance both of one another and with the land they cultivated healthy male and female Relationships which resulted in peaceful Agrigarian societies of craftsmanship Ritual art and the renewal of the earth the reins of leadership were usually held by a woman who was both a queen and high Priestess and her brother or husband often ruled beside her the lines of succession and property were usually passed through the mother's line While the uncle or husband helped to train the next generation and rule beside her While a man can certainly have merit skill and status in his own right It was his marriage to the queen the sovereign of the land that granted him kingship as a general rule society was built around the women Even on the highest levels where a dissent was through a female line a man became king or chieftain only by a formal marriage to his Daughter not his son Succeeded to the next chieftain was the youth who married his daughter Metristic goddess cultures were always associated with the cultivation of food and the agriculture knowledge of herbs roots Plants and healing and other medical aids That's something and we talk about a lot in this channel As well as the invention of writing arts weaving textiles and the very foundation of civilization itself among their many advanced achievements for pottery weaving writing complex Calan Calan Nicole and mathematical systems astronomy and astrology Painting basket-making domestication of animals cultivation of brains and seas masonry and sacred architect They were keepers of story history and sacred rites And they also maintain temples of worship that honored the sacred in all things The priestess is long presided over religious practices woman was the natural intermediary Woman was the natural intermediary with divinity the greatest of whom was a woman defined the participation of men in the cult was like the Association of gods with goddesses a late development. Let me sense because the woman's body herself is a portal, right? You're you have if you have a womb you have a portal you're literally even if you decide to never have kid You have the ability to Allow a soul Come in and through your body to come into third density You're a freaking portal so that made sense that the divine feminine is the to an intuitive art So that women have more of a connection to the other side of the veil because your body is literally a portal Their part religious ceremonies was always as a subordinate one even when the king became the highest priest of the bull in These communities no weapons have been unearthed no defensive earthworks found and there is no evidence of an oppressive Ruling hierarchical or social conflict This societal model of balance between husband and wives or brothers and sisters is what Anthropologists now call a partnership model. This is quite different from the dominant patriarchal cultures We have been living under for the past 2500 years these harmonious societies of shared leadership resulted in centuries of prosperous agrarian societies and virtually no war in their excavations Anthropologists have found streets lined with spacious homes in towns of several thousand inhabitants where there were no tribal gods Only a universally worshiped mother goddess or a god goddess creator that expressed the principles of male and female union Well, some of these statues were created solely in the voluptuous image of the divine mother Others show a round female body and a narrow Parallel like head of a man in other words a creator of balanced androgyny The key finding is that women participated as fully as the men in all aspects of their religious and intellectual life With equal authority and creativity women played a central roles in religious rituals and activist partners in Evolving the spiritual philosophy on which their civilization was built Not until the invasion of the patriarchal Kyrgyz people from the north imposed male dominance on the populace Bringing more and national power struggles to the region and competing gods their temples did the men and women of old Europe demonstrate Antagonism and disunity until they had appeared to have built a framework and evolved the structural principles of their societies together with great success Each modifying and balancing the extreme tendencies of the other in essence We are talking about a partnership model that is quite different from the dominator model We have had for some 2,500 years Marija Gumbudas explained the difference between these two kinds of civilization in their use of symbolic lane language Revealed some 50 years after her archaeological excavations The symbolic systems are very different All of this reflects the social structure The Indo-European social structure is patriarchal Patriolennial and the psyche is warrior every god is also a warrior The three men main Indo-European gods are the god of the shining sky the god of the underworld and the thunder god The female goddesses are just brides wives are maidens without any power without any creativity They're just there their beauties their venuses like the dawn or a son maiden So the symbol of what existed in the matriotic cultures before the Indo-Europeans in Europe is totally different I call it matriotic not matriarchal because matriarchal Always arouses ideas of dominance and is compared with patriarchal, but it was a balanced society It was not that women were really so powerful that they usurped everything that was masculine Men were in their rightful positions. They were doing their own work They have their duties and they also had their own power This is reflected in their symbols where you find out only goddesses, but also gods the goddesses were creatrix They are creating from themselves as far back as 35,000 BC from symbols and sculptures We can see that parts of the female body were creative parts breast belly and buttocks It was a different view from ours It had nothing to do with pornography and that's interesting because even in in India You see the female goddesses are always depicted as as being very voluptuous They have really big boobs and like tiny waist and you know, it's very Female right so that's interesting. She's talking about that today's researchers in this area are beginning to realize that many of our Social political and economic problems have been created because of this more aggressive Winner-take-all dominator model these problems include the classic triangle of the persecutor Rescuer and victim mentality that are often generated by the power of caste Hierarchy abuse and oppression Scientist James Des Moines says there are no clear and un ambiguous evidence for the existence of warfare sadism Traumatization of babies Subordinate it's a whip of women nor any of the trappings of patriots on everywhere in the world prior to 4,000 BCE None which makes sense because we know From what I understand Lumaria which happened before Atlantis Lumaria was the time before confusion Then Atlantis came in and there was confusion. My dog just came home. He was out And he just came home and ran in to say hey to me. He probably was a hate everybody Who is they hate to everybody? They hate everybody Who's a mama's boy? All right And since this patriarchal model has been the mindset that has generated the problem these imbalances in our thinking and cultural Cannot be resolved by using the same model We can only heal our society if we are willing to make a paradigm shift in the coming ages to a collective life of greater cooperation statues of the goddess During her many years of research doctor again Buddhist discovered many of the ancient statues of the divine mother the earliest of which is the figure called the Atulian goddess I hope again. I'm saying that right the atulian goddess his hand size size statue is dated somewhere between 230,000 and 800,000 years ago and was discovered in the Golan Heights region of Israel once known as bear cat ram Carved from scoria stone. It was found in organic matter and has now been carbon dated to at least two 232,000 years ago and many in fact be far older the atulian goddess is one of over 130 such statues that have been recovered to date and is believed to come from an area inhabited by a Homie on tribe that predates even in the Neanderthals This tells us that over 200,000 years ago our ancestors believed that God was a female One who birthed the universe now. I'll say again just to remind you guys as far as like the historical timeline She's presenting. I don't actually agree with a lot of like the Neanderthal stuff at all I am following the Tarterian stuff and I don't believe that we came from monkeys at all. I think that's um I used to I used to believe in evolution. I don't know more But but I just I'm reading what she's giving us and I do think that though a lot of this does prove Lumeria and Atlantis in some way. So all right Some researchers have called this powerful figuring the earliest manifestation of art of work before the discovery of the Archulian goddess the earliest known statue the divine mother was the Venus of Willendorf of a lumptious female figure only four and three eighths inches high carved out of bone and known to be about 40,000 years old Founded in 1908 in Austria near the Danube River by archaeologist Joe soft Tsumbafi The Willendorf goddess is one of the several powerful images represent Representing and revering the fertility of the great mother Some of these figures also resemble the many figures of the goddess found throughout the Near East Especially in Lebanon Syria Palestine and Tulia now modern-day Turkey Iraq and Jericho These goddess figurines also appear in Australia China Africa, Sumeria Turkey and Egypt and continue to be discovered even today Dating back between 24,000 and 18,000 BCE Who I know I'm gonna say this word wrong, so I'll put this word up on the screen and the ruins of cat Cadillah Hoyuk Turkey for example There are hundreds of female figurines found all over the site as well as the goddess symbols painted on the walls Including artistically drawn cow heads that clearly resemble the organs of female reproduction. We also know that half or the teacher of Isis in Egypt was Noted by a cow head Interestingly enough the woman and the children also buried inside the city while the men were buried outside of it similarly an ancient Chinese city dated to 7500 BCE Archaeologists have found a female spirit temple clearly marked as such in the ancient Chinese characters It alters still have seeds on them that when planted germinate into plants even today Finally no discussion of goddess carvings would be complete without including the Lausel goddess Again, I hope I'm saying that right this carving was found over the interest to a cave of initiation in the Dorgon region of Lausel France not far from the last cocaves Ken my French my real French is terrible. So forgive me Inside this caves are images of a tantric sexual couple as well as birthing images of the goddess with the male consort The Venus herself is a voluptuous figure who points to her Pregnant tummy with one hand and holds a sickle moon with 13 lunar notches marked on it and the other it's interesting 13 lunar notches because I Mean astrology mostly follows the Sun But we know there's like 13 not 12 so that's interesting. I don't know just just interesting in addition these images dating back to the Paleolithic era clearly revealed that our ancestors understood that reproduction occurs through sexual union of a man and woman. No shit. I Would agree. I think our ancestors understood that hence while why we're here today, so You're the result of an orgasm basically, so I I'm glad our ancestors figured that out so So while the goddess was the it initiator of these mysteries Revealed in her image of the doorway the male is honored as the consort of the goddess the goddess of Lazul was discovered in 1911 by J. G La Lane and the carving above the cave entrance the figure holds a horn in her hand a symbol long-leaked to the all-pervading mother Goddess of Mesopotamia Egypt Crete and India This is linked to the sacred cow a symbol that was connected to both Hathor or Isis in each of Egypt Yeah, just like I said in Anna in Sumeria Adida in India and ashira by the Jews the sickle half moon of the horse She holds become the chalice of the of the creation The womb from which all things are born throughout the world the moon has long been linked to many female deities including Diana Artemis Aphrodite Mary Isis Celine Hera and June all of whom were once called the Queens of Heaven now again We and I'm sorry my dogs being a little out to be here that noise over there. That's him now again and in it and Traditional yoga we call we know the aponic energy the mood energy is feminine while the chronic energy the sun energy is Masculine as they're saying here women do follow a lunar calendar. We get our periods once a month So we follow the moon so like I'm on a full moon so every time there's a full moon That's when I get my cycle a lot of women follow the new moon men I believe they get their cycles every three months with the solar Where they just get a little moody moody and hormonal, but yeah, and we call it so When you're on your period in traditional yoga You don't practice for like to the first two or three days when your uterus is contracting you let it detox And so we call that your personal moon days like for a woman. When is your moon day meaning? When is your cycle? symbols of the goddess During her many years of research. Dr. Gimbudas came to understand that throughout all of Neolithic Europe a shorthand script of Ido grams were being used to signify the presence of a divinity that was uniquely feminine She separated these symbols into various categories Representing water and rain the moon and archeological cycles and the continuous rotation of life itself Like the spiral motion of the galaxy These were the portals of rebirth while zigzags and meanders were associated With the oscillating energy of the Holy Spirit on which all sound in light travels The Hebrews called this undulating wave form the Shekinah the feminine spirit of God Christians call it the Holy Spirit Spirit a ruic which literally means wind is feminine in Hebrew and its symbol is the dove Another image long connected with the goddess and cultures around the world in the New Testament We read about the dove descending on Jesus out of baptism given the blessings of the Holy Spirit yet long before Christianity the dove symbolized Isis Aphrodite and Ishtar all of whom represented matter magna or great mother This was true across the Aegean and even the Mayan ruins at you Umexal in Mexico and had a house of doves His dear historically the dog and the serpent were both linked to the holy mother a fact that Jesus doubtlessly understood When he couple these animals together in the abomination May yet may he be gentle as dove and wise as serpents Matthew 10 16 Indicating a far older meeting behind both of these hermetic emblems Gimbudas developed a novel interdisciplinary approach. She called Archaeomythology which combines archaeology linguistics historical Ethnology mythology folklore and comparative religion She discovered symbols of the goddess that include the four quarters of the world the fish the great cosmic egg all aspects of gestation in new life the fish is in the Itchities taught by Jesus to his students Represented the portal from which we are all born this almond shape symbol is the shape of the Visica Pisces formed through the merging of the male and female circles to create a perfect portal through which spirit Get into the world of matter It is also the seed symbol of creation That is why this is the shape of all seeds a woman's yoni and the end of a man's Phallus from which the seed of life emerges When turned horizontal the Visica Pisces becomes the eye of raw or Horus the opening of the inner light which represents awakening of the spiritual sight All of these symbols are linked to the continual circle of life and death and Renewal and we're instinctively connected to the ancient world of the great goddess herself And so I'm going to go show you so we all know that Jesus fish we see that And we know that the fish has been very much was misrepresentation misrepresented and in Christianity they say it's because Jesus said be a fisher of men. No, she's explaining the actual meaning of that behind that And then this is the Visica Pisces. We spoke about that in When we did Megan Waterston's book as well All right And again the God of art the eye of Horus guys we know that the controllers use the eye of Horus But it doesn't mean it's bad Right and again everything's created by the light the darkness stills it and inverts it The of Horus is a good thing. We need to take it back. We need to reclaim it. Yeah the great mother of all Anthropologists Marcelli a lady author of the book from primitives to Zen is known for her worldwide Perspective on shamanic indigenous culture Dr. Lady writes the first peoples of earth saw the great mother as the source of all nourishment protection power and mystery She was both the mother of birth and the queen of the dead Consequently their greatest initiations were held in the caves or clefts that were entry points to the earth's body Birth life and death and rebirth were all attributed to her and burial and entombment were symbolic prayer for rebirth The deceased person was laid into a grave in a fetal position as of being returned to the womb of the earth to be reborn I like that Powerful Later Megalithic ages found the villagers chiseling out porthole tombs for the same purpose Just like the caves where Jesus and Lazarus were laid to rest These represented the mother's womb and in some cultures like the Celts of Scotland the word cave Womba is almost the same as the word for womb whamay Throughout the ancient world caves were used as places of initiation as both male and female Shamans pulled back the veils to commune with the other side The same connection is made in the entombment rights in the valley of kings in Egypt large Cabins were dug out of the mountains and at the entrance to the tombs were painted images of Newt the mother of the Cosmo Newt's star filled body stretched across the walls to the innermost chambers It was thought that she and she alone had the power to escort the soul through the afterlife Just as today many Christians hope that Jesus will take them home into heaven It's interesting if you're following along with our shadow work series with Emmy and Stephanie I've talked a lot about the hot the yoga predicapa and one of the last episodes I talked about honey hot the yoga predicapa, which is a manual on how to practice yoga They talk about how the entrance of your yoga shallow the door should be low So you vow before God before coming in But a lot of times what I didn't mention and it's come up here is that these original shalas were in caves They were in mountain caves Now we know why Goddess of the cosmos in the hero with a thousand faces Joseph Campbell writes the mythological figure of the universal Mother imputes to the cosmos the feminine attributes of the first nourishing and protective presence in the tantric book of medieval and modern India the abode of the Goddess is called men men Vipa the island of jewels Campbell goes on her cock and Throne is there in a grove filled with wish-filling trees the beach of the aisle are golden sand They are lapped by the still waters of the ocean of the nectar of immortality The goddess is red with a fire of light the earth the solar system the galaxies of far extending space all Swell within her womb for she is the world cretex Ever mother ever virgin she encompasses the encompassing Nourishes the nourishing and is the life of everything that lives She is also the death of everything that dies the whole round of existence is accomplished within her sway She is the womb and the tomb Thus she unites the good and the bad exhibiting the two modes of the remembered mother not as personal only but as universal He saws theology called Gaia the deep-rested earth the firm seat of all things forever who after emerging out of an ocean of chaos brought forth the sky the mountains in the sea a sanctuary of Gaia stood near the entrance of the Acropolis in Athens and also in the Olympia the site of the annual Olympic games Romans worshipped her as Tara mater The great mother earth and her symbols were Parenthaly linked to the healing waters of the cosmic ocean One of her symbols was the undulating sea serpents upon which the universe floats and today the images of Kwan Yen Mary and Isis are sometimes shown writing on the back of a cosmic dragon We talked about the dragons in the spirit code Springs pools and fountains were dedicated to the great mother stretching from Sumeria to Asia Palestine to Rome She was soulless Minerva in Britain goddess of the healing waters and today her centers can still be found in the city of Bath In Cyprus Greece and Turkey. She was Aphrodite who rose from the cosmic waters at the beginning of time Isis Mary and Kwan Yen all sell upon the great ocean and each of them was in turn called the Queen of Heaven mistress of the oceans and star of the sea lady of the animals and Paleolithic cultures the life-giving nature of the mother has long been linked to animals who regarded her as Who were regarded as her children the Latin poet? Lucretius writes she alone is called great mother of the gods and mother of the wild beast and maker of our bodies These more balanced cultures believe that all things have a right to life animals forest birds and swimming creatures Agree with that. I absolutely agree with that But in a superior patriarchal system We are told to subdue the earth and to have dominion over the fish of the sea Foul of the air and over every living thing that has moved upon the earth Genesis 128 however in egalitarian societies all creatures were seen as an expression of mothers regenerative powers Each is important to the circle of life or everyone will perish. I never liked that Even I think it's kind of psychopathic actually when Christians are like animals are here for us. No, they're not No, they're not. They're not here for us. We're here to protect them. They're God's creatures, too God has just as much love for the wild beast of the woods as he does for you Get over yourself Christians God knows every hair on your dog's head just like he knows every hair on your head God spent just as much time Designing the elephant as he did designing you as Yahshua says in the gospel of the holy 12th Do they not breathe the same air that you breathe? Shamans, priestesses and medicine people dreamed with the animals listened to the invisible rhythms of the earth Even today Brazilian medic people tell us that because their trees and animals are being destroyed The elders can no longer dream. That's why they cut off our hair, too Our hair is part of our psychic abilities and our antenna That's how we know direction. It's our hair. I Think that's why men bald I don't think men are supposed to bald. I really don't and I know like you look at your I know that gene comes through your mother So like my dad has a thick head of hair So if I ever have a son, he's gonna have a thick head of hair My nephew is gonna have a thick head of hair, but I think men who bald I think that's something coming from the controllers because our hair is very spiritual very spiritual Without dreaming the tribe loses its direction only their animals which belong to their native forests can give them the right to dream The animals are our brothers Yahshua said that in the gospel the holy 12th as well. He said are they not your brothers and sisters? So let's read that again. The animals are our brothers. The rivers are our veins They run with our blood if you block them and damn them you stop the flowing of blood in our veins and then that stops the heart The Roman Diana the Greek are our medicine was the lady of wild things the keeper of the forest The emblem was the stag Rion and Epona were linked to the white horses of Britain and Hera was a symbol symbolized by the royal peacock in the ibis deer as Athena the Greek goddess of wisdom She was synonymous with the owl the clairvoyant who was able to see what others can't in Asia The goddess Lakshmi Protectress of home and fortune is flanked by two mighty elephants who shower her with life renewing water and As Isis in Egypt She was symbolized by the graceful soaring kite a bird similar to her husband's sharp-eyed falcon and Yes, the owl does see the dark it can't see what others can't that's why the Controllers use it as their symbol as the Illuminate to be able to see the dark doesn't mean the owl is bad doesn't mean the owl is bad Remember God created the owl they stole and inverted we're gonna be freeing up the owl the goat the snake all these animals That have been used as symbols for the dark players to that they stole we're gonna free them as well And I personally love goats goats are hysterical Three animals in particular Were most sacred to the great mother the lion the cow and the serpent in Egypt Shechemette and vast had the lion's head while Fred drove a chariot pulled by cats in Norse culture Sebel the Greek goddess of Rome was often shown flanked by lions that drew her golden chariot in the city of here We go again Cat a cat a low poop in modern-day Turkey going back to 7,000 BCE There's a shrine wall that depicts the goddess sitting on her throne flanked by two leopards These leopards were said to have sat beside her when people came for justice and look growl If they smell the fear of those who lied helping the queen to render fair judgment Even so they were like a light detector test back in the day even the Egyptian name for a cat was Manu not only as an Not only as an imitation of meow, but a derivative of the mother symbol ma The cow was very sacred to the ancient mother from the Isle of Crete to the sanctuaries of Egypt The temple of the goddesses were often adorned with crescent horns because this symbolized or this symbol resembled the shape of the Pelopon tubes and the uterus of a woman's reproductive system like the symbol of the moon the horns of the cow held endless possibilities as the generated chalice of rebirth. I can see that I mean We see here the picture of Hathor has the cow head and you see the uterus that that very much looks like a Cow horn, right? We also know it's the yoke as well It's the yoke too. In Sumeria, Nisarg and Inanna were referred to as the great cows who brought milk and honey to humankind According to Hindu mythology all gods and goddesses reside in the body of a cow Yeah, the Indian name for cow is Gomata Which contains the seed symbol for the mother ma The cows associated with many great divinities including Lakshmish the mother of compassion as well as the great avatar Krishna and his wife Sita and Like Gomu Ghazana, that's a cow pose of Asana. Do you not say cow pose? It's Gomu Ghazana is the cow pose of that's the cow Gomu Ghazana and I know and I've talked about this in India before when you're in India cows roam free just like Dogs and cats do and so you have cows like walking down the street I know a lot of people put puja marks on them as well. So cows are very sacred All right A native American culture the cow is honored as white buffalo calf woman a goddess figure who came to earth to teach the Balance between animals rocks trees and humans reminding human beings of our place in the eternal circle of life the serpent of enlightenment The serpent represents the Kundalini life force of the universe linked to the changing cycles of time The Mayans thought of the Milky Way as the long horizontal serpent with a head on either end The helical rising of the serpent's head occurs in the first week of August a time one sacred to Isis the helical setting occurs at Candle mess on February 2nd another of the eight holy high days of the calendar year in her Circular form as she is the Auroboros the snake biting its tail a symbol of the endless rounds of time as one age ends and another begins She is one who turns the galaxy and has the power to shed her skin and to be reborn The Kundalini is also connected to the goddess energies found coiled at the base of the spine The Kundalini life force is not only activated in sexual relationships and in giving birth But is fundamental to enlightenment. It can also be activated through just your own yoga practice too The snake in its abstract derivatives the spiral are the dominant motives of the art of all of Europe Rights doctor can Buddhist reminding us that throughout Mesopotamia the statues of the goddess have been found holding two snakes in her hands these two serpents represent the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system ruling the consciousness and Automatic functions that allow the Kundalini to rise the top of the head and awaken our inner sight in Egypt This snake was the cobra goddess Which at butu as symbolizing the original chief force of creation serpents are also linked to Ashera the Hebrew mother goddess Athena the Greek goddess of wisdom and the oracles of Delphi and Greece and in Egypt and some temples in Some temple precinct serpents were even kept at the temple and closed as a way of staying attuned to earth's currents Snakes are also highly sensitive to the teleergic energies of earth and their activities can be used to predict coming earthquakes Since the original temples of the ancient world were deliberately mapped on key Geodesic points or lay lines this constant attunement to their energies allow the electromagnetic energies of the earth to be Harnessed as a conduit between heaven and earth At the Oracle of Delphi the priestess who entered these altered states to prophesize were called Pythias a derivative python telling us that they had learned to lift their Kundalini energies into their spiritual eye We find the same enlightened serpent rising up the shield of Athena the goddess of wisdom and ancient Rome Researchers had even suggested that through the use of venom the oracle priestesses were able to enter the Translate state giving them access to these other routes Later this serpent symbol of symbology Representing spiritual wisdom would be reversed in the Hebrew story at the Garden of Eden Echoes of this reversal can be seen in the tales of Zeus who slays the serpent Siphon or the killing of the python by Apollo We also see it in the destruction of the serpent laden by Hercules and Jehovah's killing of Levephia and a sea monster with many heads Ironically you laid on was said to have guarded the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Hera The mother of the gods giving us clues to how our Old Testament accounts have been distorted over time And I told you guys my theory on the Garden of Eden just after reading the apocryphal books and missing books the Bible I think it's all metaphor anyway, especially since we know the changing of timelines. They wouldn't have been the only humans my View of this is that they say that Eve came from Adam's rib And so that tells me metaphorically that they were twin flames So different bodies same soul the divine feminine the divine masculine. They were taken into prison By Lucifer into the Garden of Eden. They could not get out By Eve's own awakening Eating from the tree of knowledge That's the serpent awakening and her sexual intimacy with her twin flame is what liberated them mentally From the Garden of Eden. That's kind of what I'm leading towards now with the Garden of Eden story Just after reading the missing books the Bible, it's not what they tell us it is a church at all But I think we know that right now, right? The church is one of the biggest liars in the world like their pathological liars at this point like nothing the church tells you is true They're all pathological Psychotic liars. All right Blemers of the snakes origin meaning can be found in the worldwide emblem for healing this good serpent also Appears in the story of Moses and his serpent staff, which we know Moses wasn't a good guy a symbol of spiritual power Yes, because Moses still volunteer spiritual power from the Egyptians It's in the missing books of the Bible as well as the Ack Moses tablets So if you read the sixth and seventh book of Moses and the Ack Moses tablet you hear the true story of Moses Likewise, we have drawings of the father of ancient healing who had a staff with a single serpent coiled around it indicative of initiation and help These stories allow us to peek behind the veils to see that the snake was once a powerful symbol of wisdom before its meaning was corrupted According to the Dartmouth Bible a slightly abridged version of the King James Bible the Ark of the Covenant Which was kept in the Holy of Holies in King Solomon temple in Jerusalem was originally held the brazen serpent staff of Moses This was the staff that had guided the Jews out of Egypt and had a serpent coiled around its length Representing the kudalini forces of enlightenment as they traveled up the spine. Yes, which is the Obelisk as well is that that spine now again We know that all of whatever is in the Ark of the Covenant was stolen by Moses including the Ten Commandments once again You're new to the Great Awakening Moses did not get the Ten Commandments from having some psychedelic experience with God on a mountain He stole them from the Egyptian Book of the Dead the Jews did not escape Egypt. They were asked to leave Egypt because Moses and his cronies did not escape Egypt They were asked to leave Egypt because they were black sorcerers and they were doing a bunch of really bad shit to the Egyptians It's all inverted guys. It's all inverted. So whatever the Ark of the Covenant holds It's holding stolen stuff Joseph Campbell writes that this staff was worshiped in every temple of Jerusalem along with the image of its spouse The mighty goddess who was known there as a Shira the ashram You will remember where the wooden steps or steps or trees Dedicated to the Divine Mother this serpent staff was only removed from the Hebrew temple during the persecution of King Hazikia around 700 BCE when the priests of Yahweh destroyed it and again Yahweh is another word for Moloch not Not creator God, but Moloch the corruption of wisdom that followed completely distorted their original meaning of both the serpent and the tree of life Both emblems linked to the goddess as a symbolic road map to the path of enlightenment the priests of Yahweh then invented a story about it the evil nature of the serpent and the tree of knowledge Which caused the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Paradise blaming this fall from grace on women This did think about it that way guys like Lucifer had us in a prison in the Garden of Eden Then we escaped and what are the controllers trying to do now? They're trying to bring us back into a new world order a prison state again, so Interesting isn't it that the priest of Yahweh the priests of Moloch were the ones who started to invert that very interesting This disorientation of the true meaning behind these sacred symbols represents a total inversion of the emblems of wisdom that were once a part of our spiritual Heritage symbols that emerge from the healthier participating societies the lady of the harvest The great mother was also called the mother of plants in the goddess of vegetation While men hunted for food women searched for berries herb seeds and roots over time These women began to plant their seeds discovering the art of agricultural the female invention based This female invention based on generations of experimentation with seed Cultivation cutting and grafting and grain storage brought on the Neolithic revolution circa 10,000 BCE In her book when God as a woman Merlin stone writes here It was the women who showed themselves supreme They were not only the bearers of children, but also the chief producers of food By realizing that this was possible to cultivate as well as to gather they had made the earth valuable and they became Consequently its possessors Thus they won both economic and social power and prestige Thus the woman sparked the change from hunting and gathering tribes into agricultural Societies that planted it and harvested their food So something interesting Stephanie told me about dresses with pockets So back in you know the days of yarn if you were a woman and your dress had pockets that meant you were a witch Why did you have pockets because you were going out and cutting herbs and seeds you put your herbs and seeds in there just interesting In theolithic hey paintings we even see images of the goddess with a plant growing from her Yoni Marking her as a generator of all growing things. Sorry. I had a really Really bad thought in my head with a garden growing from her who ha like girl. You just need to get your razor like We all do that now. We all clean ourselves up. So Just get your razor girl. It's good. It's all good I mean, I'm completely like I take everything off because I'm in yoga pants all the time And so that to me is the cleanest so girl if you need help with that vegetation down there We can help you out sister. It's fine. Sister's got to help a sister out Men do that too though. I know I applaud men who do that as well, but but women. Yeah, all right Okay stone writes the earliest agriculture must have grown up around the shrines of the mother goddess Which thus became social and economic centers as well as holy places and were the germs of future cities as Isis was the lady of the harvest the goddess who had brought the gift of wheat to humanity Just as the Native American world She was corn woman the bringer of maize so powerful were these acts of generosity of the goddess became immortalized as Virgo The virgin whose astrological sign occurs in September. Yep The month of harvesting wheat Isis then became known as Dementor or Crius the mother of Creole's in Greece and Rome Virgo The queen is depicted holding a staff of enlightenment one hand in a bundle of wheat and the other presiding over all physical intellectual and spiritual acts of regeneration Later Mary the mother would would be given the month of September to celebrate her birthday Which according to the church falls on September 8 The eternal triad the great mother was seen as a triad of constantly evolving stages Cycle not linear like nature itself and I talked about that with the Sun salutations how we start our practice, right? Surinamaskar is very linear Surinamaskar B. We get the hips and ball. It becomes very Siprical Surinamaskar A is the masculine because it's linear Surinamaskar B is the feminine because it's sipical, right? The woman's body is sipical. It's not linear, right? Our hips come out. We have a waist. We got boobs. It's very sipical. Yeah She ushers the soul into a higher phase of existence blessing each day's along the way This includes life death and rebirth the goddess encompasses all things within herself yin and yang masculine and feminine light and dark Her lunar phases represents a cycle of birth light and death Reflecting the three phases of a person's life the maiden the mother and the matriarch or the youth the man in the sage Unlike the warrior God who stood outside creation ordering them and punishing the mother was alive within her own creation Taking responsibility for the many cycles of life. She exists within the matrix and all things are woven within her She is not absent from the world but alive within everything and both seen and unseen dimensions and these realms all share in the Sanctity of the original source Such an image helps us to honor the sacred and everything fostering compassion and kindness to all This sense of the warrior clans Today's archaeologists tell us that the demise of the great goddess culture began in Turkey and Greece Excavation in these regions are revealing much information about the Neolithic agents the earliest inhabitant of the Greek peninsula But there is still much that we do not know But based on the artifacts we haven't covered. We know these cultures were Martillinial honored the yearly cycles and maintained a partnership model of leadership between men and women. They thrive between 20 2,500 and 1600 BCE a period we now call the bronze age So what changed this idea? idyllic model of society Archaeology tells us that some thirty six hundred years ago a group of fierce warrior clans swept down into into the Mediterranean from the north Bringing with them their brutal storm gods and violent weapons There are several theories as to who these tribes were Some believed they were Kyrgyz tribes in the south of Russian known for their domestication of the horse and their use of chariots Others believed they were the warmongering Achaeans who swept in from the north and the south flourishing between 1600 and 1150 BCE throughout the Mediterranean These were the aggressive seafaring kings whose naval war Wars inspired Homer to write the Iliad and the Odyssey and I actually think the Iliad and the Odyssey are true stories at this point call me crazy, but I think I Think those are true stories. Maybe during Atlantean times. I don't know Others believe they were the somatic nomads who invaded Egypt about 1800 BCE This group threw Egypt into chaos for hundreds of years But whoever these invaders were they brought with them an oppressive superiority and patriarchal wars and crushed the more peaceful Agarian culture these violent intruders raped and impregnated the women and slaughtered the men and sent those Who escaped scurrying for their lives? They impose their own system of violent values and weaken them at maritranial traditions that have been passed from mother to child for Thousands of years beginning the destruction of all women's rights in the rise of patriarchal regimes of power Towards the close of the Bronze Age in more strongly in the dawn of the Iron Age 1250 BCE in the Levant the old cosmology and mythologies of the goddess mother were radically transformed Reinterpreted and in large measure suppressed by those suddenly intrusive patriarchal warrior tribesmen whose traditions have come Down to us chiefly in the Old and New Testament and in the myths and stories of Greek mythology To extensive Geographical territories were the source of lands of these insurgent warriors waves for the Simites the Cyro-Arabian deserts Whereas reigning nomads they herded sheep and goats and later mastered the camel and for the Hellenic and for the Hellenic Aryan Kurgan Martyrs the broad plains of Europe and southern Russia where they had raised their herds of cattle and Early mastered the horse and bearing in Jules cash for authors of the myth of the goddess evolution of an image Right to the matriarchal practices of leadership healing and shamanism were suppressed by these invaders that's and slowly to pay patriarchal one Indo-European tribes and ever-increasing numbers forced their way into Mesopotamia and Tolia and land stretching eastward into the Indus Valley at the same time Semitic tribes moved to Mesopotamia and Canaan in the Syria Arabian desert The descendants of the old Paleolithic hunters in their tribal homelands of the vast grassy steep norths of the Caspian and Black Sea have now become warriors and we can trace their paths of conquest as they appear as Hittites and and Tolia and Samaria Natani here ends and cast sites in Mesopotamian Achians and Endorians in Greece the Aryans in the Indus Valley Wherever they penetrated they established themselves as the ruling cast and their appearances is Marked by a trail of devastation and Tolia alone some 300 cities were sacked burned among the Troy and in this pattern They repeated from Greece to the Indus Valley The sky gods of these tribes lived on mountain tops and in clouds hurling thunderbolts of those who would not obey them They brought with them a sense of superiority a deep sense of utility of life the finality of death and the fundamental conviction of human guilt As one might imagine these sky gods cultures preached a paradigm of oppression Conquest and opposition in which the world of nature was Instinctively separated from the spiritual realm of the gods. Yes, that that's true Attitude toward life and death were fundamentally altered as people experienced life as violent unpredictable and untrustworthy People no longer felt safe in the countryside or in villages but came to seek refuge in cities Guarded by immense walls where they could be protected by warriors an elite group of warriors spring up Demoting farmers artisans and peasants to the level of serfs Yeah, the military. I mean Yeah The characters of both the culture and the mythology of gods and goddesses changed radically dominance in warfare infected societies with a barbaric Emissions of territorial rulers who had a compulsion to conquer and enslave other people The killing of others became a sign of superiority and might became the measure of right This model of society is radically different from the world of the goddess Where moral order and responsibility are based on eternal sacredness of life? Oh, so we see that how might became the measure of right. We see this in the even in the true the community guys Where the mighty truthers are the ones who are right even though most of them are infiltrators Does might does having so many followers mean that you're right now Because what is popular is not always right and what is right is not always popular might does not equal right Early humans didn't see themselves as separate from nature and other beings There is no sense of hierarchy or caste operating in the early epochs No sign of slavery or inequality the change over that marks the beginning of Western culture 5,000 years ago was a lethal separation from nature in the body and favor of dominate dominating of the ego over everything Again, we see that with a lot of true there's the bigger the ego The more corrupt they seem to be Might does not equal right Where the goddess has been venerated as the giver and supporter of life as well as consumer of the dead Women as her represent representatives have been according to the paramount position in society as well as in cult Such an order of female dominated social and cultic Customs is terminated in a broad in general way the order of mother right and opposed to such without quarter in the order of the Patriarchy with an ardor of righteousness eloquence and fury of fire and sword Many scholars now believe that the later theatrical dramas of the ancient Greeks Such as Electra Inorestas all reflect this transition from a loving mother son relationship to one of murder betrayal and social Demotion these Greek tragedies all center around a son who either kills his mother or engages in sexual relations with her and Then finds that his life has been ruined This is a direct reversal of the earlier sister brother mother son harmonious Rulership models found across Mediterranean where men and women live together peacefully with one another The goddess was the loving mother of her hero son or she was his wife or maid and together They gave birth to the holy daughter It was this union that made the bounty for the land examples of this partnership model can be found in the stories of Isis and Horace and Egypt Ishtar and Temmuz in the Levant and Seibel and Addis and Rome's and Sita and Rama and India broken into pieces as The powers of the goddess way before we get into this We talked about this in Aquarius rising Africa. So a lot of these old stories like Isis and Osiris were not siblings They weren't they want to tell you they were because they want to invert the story for their own gains and we see they weren't siblings by the depictions of them Isis and Osiris are depicted as two different races. I'm white If I had a black brother Then that means my dad isn't that guy's dad, right like If you were black and your wife is white You're white You don't come from the same people So what I think these stories were depicting were twin flames They had the same soul, but biologically they were not the same Genetically they were not the same Okay, and 70 I've talked about this and I think that's their inversion up We know they're trying to keep twin flames apart. We know that's what they're doing, right? I know quite a few twin flames who are drastically being held apart right now By this this cult this cabal They're inverting that and they invert that with incest too Your twin flame is not going to be your sibling Just not even nature knows not to mate with its siblings like When I rescue dogs in India like Robbie is from India and the that I work with in India It's very fascinating to see how these street dogs work. They know who their siblings are They will not mate with their sisters. So the mating is the only mate once a year So if Robbie were on the streets of India and he was born into a litter with all he was the only boy You know little girl puppies and then they all got rescued and adopted out Robbie went which boys laugh because you can tell he had a bunch of sisters He would know not to mate with his sisters The dogs will leave their pack and go to a neighboring pack to knit mate with a neighboring dog and then go back to their pack So even in nature even nature understands that fundamentally that you don't mate with your sibling with someone you're related to It's just us that inverted that with these controllers and they inverted these stories too, which these stories They were not siblings. They weren't they were twin flames All right, now we're going to get into broken into pieces as The power of the goddess is waned so do the rights of women Where women once had right to own property? Transact business and inherit property from their families on equal terms with men after 2300 BCE the status of women slowly deteriorated in north of Sumeria Which later become known as Babylon the Semitic tribes regarded women as merely the possession of men Fathers and husbands claim the power of life and death over daughters and wives sons inherited from their fathers Whereas daughters inherited nothing and could be sold into slavery by their fathers and brothers The birth of a son was held as a blessing while a daughter could be exposed to die These changes in attitude about the importance of women and their understanding of the universe also caused Fundamental changes in the way people looked at life and death Death became regarded as the absolute end of life something dark and terrifying to be feared The ancient knowledge of rebirth went underground and the cycles of divine order were lost And the male-oriented myths all that was good and noble was attributed to the new heroic gods of war and the dark mysterious powers of nature were left to women The mother goddess once venerated as the giver of life and the welcomer of death was thrown down The circle of life was broken and people no longer understood the womb and the tomb were all part of the natural cycles of life In addition the material realm became the only realm of importance as we disconnected from our understanding of how the Unmanifested realms of spirit helped to generate this world Nature was now something to be dominated conquered in a harness Trees and animals had no essential value except as timber or food Man became the sole determiner of everyone's life. It was all in service to him Over the next 2000 years the goddess would be slowly dismembered by the patriarchy Shattered like a beautiful vase that had been broken into pieces For the goddess that remained one aspect of her nature would be pitted against another Aphrodite the goddess of sexual love was pitted against Hera the married queen of heaven vying for the attention of a male Athena the goddess of wise civilization was now at odds with Aphrodite the goddess of love Fighting over the city of Troy in time with the rise of the Abrahamic religions The great mother was either totally extinguished or spit further into pieces in Christianity she became the good mother or the lady of sexual pleasures, but she was never allowed to be both Confusing both men and women alike This polarity is exactly what we find in the stories of the obedient Virgin Mary and the penitent Mary Magdalene as Jennifer and Roger Wolger write in the book the goddess within each of the department Each of the departmental goddesses is now cut off from the original mother and they are from this point onward divided against themselves Here very dramatically and this historical origin of the deepest aspect of the goddess's wounds Once the fracturing of the goddess began as the patriarchy came to control most of the world The continuing of life itself was broken and with it our sacred connection to mother nature Then beneath the negative projections of Hebrew Muslim and Christian archetypes These pieces became further divided It seemed that each woman had to choose between being an obedient wife a Virginal maiden a self-sacrificing mother or a woman of ill repute If a woman was too independent in her thinking she was cast as Eve the disobedient wife If she rebelled against male authority She was turned into Lilith the first wife of Adam who refused to obey her husband's sexual commands So strenuous was this condemnation of women that in the dark ages Lilith was cast as Satan Never mind these fables of man's divine right to rule were fabricated by patriarchal men during the construction of the Old Testament documents around 500 BCE While perverting the symbols of the feminine face of the divine They cut down her forest leveled her sacred trees and demonized those aspects of the mother's love that they could not eradicate And by justifying their suppression of women as the will of God They had made half of the world's population subservience to the other half Finally the patriarchy turned the wise herbalists into the weathering hag Transforming grandmothers into symbols of evil hag by the way derives from the root word meaning holy woman or sacred throat Revealing the deeper links of this currently Projorative word to the healing priestess of old but in the Middle Ages the patriarchal interpretation of the wise woman was abandoned and the elderly woman lost the grace of male protection Since she was no longer useful to a man's political or sexual agendas If her husband or sons were killed in war she had no one to speak for her She was turned out of her house and our only resource was to take refuge in the woods where the church depicted her as a good-for-nothing but gathering sticks in Europe the one bastion of influence that older woman still retained was that of the midwife or healer Her understanding of plants had come down from her ancestors But with the rise of the male dominated church even the medicine women were replaced by the all-knowing male doctors Thus the wise woman was persecuted for her gifts of herbal wisdom and turned into the witch For over a thousand years. She became the target of fear suspicion and torture accused of causing the deaths of those who sought she sought to save and The most brutal errors of the inquisition There were somewhere between five million and nine million women put to death by the church for the crime of being attuned to the natural energies of the earth Never again would the goddess be allowed to reign as the great mother She was erased as the Queen of Heaven and the creatix who had birthed the universe Young Ian psychologist James Hillman says that in the creating this extreme polarization between a negative Condemning judgmental God and a banished loving mother. We have actually denied ourselves a healthy spiritual life Some historians have even linked this to the fracture of a horrible divorce the male and female aspects of ourself no longer speak to one another Humanity as the poor child is left destitute with only an angry father as a parent He forbids the children to speak of their loving mother and tells them that she must be banished as if she has never been By worshiping the father principle alone and suppressing or belittling the feminine We have done some serious damage to our individual and collective psychic health And this is to say nothing of the planet earth These wounds have been sustained for over 3,000 years in a battle waged by the patriarchal over the feminine Roger and Jennifer will be observed With only a father to guide us despite his love. We have become hardened Relentlessly heroic and grimly prunitive in our efforts to forget the lost security and sensual trust in the earth The mother once gave us Long ago we dimly sense there was a primordial unity when a mother earth and a spirit father enjoyed a happy and harmonious union But the paradise is lost in our estrangement We have been forced to swallow the embedded propaganda of a guilty yet all powerful father cultural superiority While today's modern religions congratulate themselves on outgrowing the polytheism of our child is passed and Graduating into more mature monotheism in truth by refusing to acknowledge divine spark and everything around us We cripple our ability to relate to divine in all of its forms We close our eyes to the visible and invisible expressions of God We close our hearing to the music of the trees the spirits of the animals and our ability to dream with the intelligence of the stars from the dominance of the warrior Arians to the Machismo of the Greeks the imperialism of Rome and the guilt-ridden excess of the puritanical repression The spirit of the divine feminine has been dishonored Manipulated mistreated and suppressed and it is only now in this time in this century that our civilization is beginning to question What exactly has thrown us out of balance? Restoring the feminine to its rightful place in partnership with the masculine with both as true equals Is the most important stuff we can take today if we are ever going to claim our place as caretakers of this planet? And take our next step as enlightened human beings
