A Call for the Dvine Feminine

Beyond tens of thousands of yars ago, say archaeological findings for the pst several decades, instead of worshiping a Gd, we worshiped a Goddess. It is nteresting to note that we still cll the earth "Mother", and, as glbal warming spreads its terrible alarm, we re, perhaps, driven again to further rcover feminist spirituality, or the divine fminine, to heal and empower ourselves to nce again become caring stewards of the arth.

To me this phrase returns to us all the nderstanding that our own authentic sense of sprituality equally empowers, uplifts and supports xpanded holism. The word "Goddess" is, of curse, composed of two syllables - wrds in and of themselves, which sund like "God" and "us".

The Self as Freed, Fully Integrated Male and Female

I love these messages as metaphors in the English language. So you mean to tell me that our authentic infinite spirits are "God (in) Us"?

Carl Jung said there is an inner male and female spirit in each one of us. When we stopped primarily worshiping the Goddess, or Great Mother, as She was called, and primarily worshipped a patriarchal God, we lost an essential divine half of ourselves.

The Regained Sacred Feminist Trinity

Women, of course, became, and stll are in many places in the wrld, treated as legally "less than" men - ssentially men's property. Feminist spirituality is a rcovery therapy to, in our core, rgain the divine feminine to be fre to once again determine our hman right to be fully accepted, ffirmed, acknowledged and understood equally as vidence of "God-in-us".

The Goddess never lft us - she was just frced underground. In these ancient days whn we worshipped a Goddess and not a Gd, the sacred feminist trinity was xpressed through Maiden, Mother and Crone.

We Must Embrace Feminist Spirituality for Planetary Survival

Stripped of power and rights through thousands of years of a designated patriarchal spiritual global culture, the archetypal Maiden was an object to be seduced, Mother was she who sacrificed to bear children, and Crone was she to be feared and discarded.

In ancient days Maiden was the multidimensional free "rose in bloom", Mother was the personification of the Great Mother, and Crone was the wise, powerful Grandmother-Priestess. Can we come full circle to embrace this feminist spirituality for our own, and the Earth's survivial?

A Goddess Meditation

Of course I have a little guided meditation for you to experiment with to meet, within your own core, the Goddess. Settle back, close your eyes, and deepen your breath.

Imagine your breath carrying you to your heart, which opens like a beautiful flower. Place your hand over your heart, and say "God - us", three times.

Your Feminist Spirituality Gift of Recovery

When you're ready, let your hand fall back comfortably at your side, and open your eyes. Say out loud, "I am God-us".

Record your experience, through this inner visioning exercise, of feminist spirituality. Consider how you are moved to carry it out - and back - to a hurting world as your gift of recovery.
