We have fallen victim to a separation within felt as a split in our psyches between heaven and earth. The western intellectual sky God has dominated thinking for centuries and even though we have developed a great capacity to separate and divide we have sacrificed our feminine feeling, intuitive and inner visionary capacities. As a result the feminine way to God has been denied and misunderstood for too long. Now mother earth and our own well-being requires we develop and integrate both aspects. Honoring the feminine aspects of God is an important developmental task for men and women and the gateway to heaven on earth.
What is the Divine Feminine Way to God? The feminine way of being in the world is important for us to nourish in order to become whole. We can begin to understand Her by going down into the matrix of earth-mud and into the universe's birthing and devouring black holes. She is the magic, mystery and the fullness of matter embodied in rapture, pain, birth and death - the container for holding the splendor and fullness of the divine. She is known by many names - Mary, Sophia, Aphrodite, Shakti, Kali, Shri. Some of these goddesses represent the more revealing aspects of the divine feminine and others are more dark and mysterious.
There is no other way for God to see or experience Herself so matter must exist in order for us to experience the One God. Through our five senses, intuition and inner vision we experience the feminine half of God embodied here on earth and in every moment. It is the divine feminine that takes us down to the depths of our own interiors and shows us divine love - the capacity to relate to another being as oneself.
"The most profound religious life is being in each moment on this earth - bringing heaven and earth together rather then hoping heaven will come down when it is already here."
Society's Paranoia - Fearing the Divine Goddess Kali and Her Dark Sisters We all learn to fear the divine feminine aspect of God because she is mysterious. She is impossible to understand with the intellectual mind because she never holds one position and is always transforming, moving and changing. This impermanence is very frightening until we learn how to actually move into it and get comfortable with the mysterious (not knowing) aspects of Her. Becoming comfortable with mystery is the ultimate surrender for the intellectual mind but where the greatest transformation can take place in our consciousness.
Archetypes are the Language of the Divine Feminine Way - Where are Women's Voices? A woman's mind is biologically different then a man's mind and so the questions we ask and the ways we know God are going to be different even though the answers ultimately point to the same One God. Unfortunately the archetypal language (universal symbols of the unconscious mind) we have to describe feeling, intuitive and inner visionary experiences is often feared and misunderstood because of the non-linear and invisible ways in which interior transformation occurs.
