The Sacred Femenine

"Let us make make man to our image and likeness" (Genesis 1:16)

With whom is the masculine principle of God creating with? Isn't it neccessary to note that, how can a stricktly masculane force create females to begin with? Wouldn't there have to be some part in him able to understand women in order to create them? Thus a part of him would have to be femenine.

Not touching on these topics now (which are relevent in this thread):

The Da Vinci Code
The Legacy of the Grail
The Conspiracies of the Patriarch
and on and on...

Yet one underlying fact remains: The duality of all life.

Isn't life catorized by duality? The yin and the yang, both masculine and Femenine, light and dark, left and right, "good" and "bad", up and down, black and white, chaos and order, new and old, intellect and emotion, and so on and so forth...

Couldn't the same be said about God? Having God represent the duality in all things: God the masculine representing what is static intellect being the hand of creation that all stand upon, while God the femenine represents what is fluid emotion being the prime mover in all?

Enter now to share your peice of the puzzle... be it for or against...

The woman, undoubtedly, has the same rights as the man. If we study carefully the word "Elohim," which figures in the Bible, we will find that it is a feminine noun with a masculine plural ending. The exact translation of such noun is "Gods and Goddesses."

A religion without Goddesses is found amidst materialistic atheism, because if Elohim are Divine Androgynous Beings, so-called Gods and Goddesses, I can say that the result is we would be halfway to atheism.

One cannot remove Goddesses from any religion because within us the Divinity is masculine and feminine at the same time.

We are able to deduce from this as a corollary that the woman has the same rights as the man, and that the Intimate Self-realization of the Being is not possible without the union of the separate parts: man and woman. Both united by means of sex, they constitute an ineffable creature, a Creator-Elohim.

AUSET



METU NETER Vol.1, Pg. 233-235

The Goddess Auset is the embodiment of those intuitive and instinctive faculties that lay deep within our psyche, governing our ability to care for and nurture others. People in whom this faculty is strongly developed are very protective, caring and nurturing. These qualities, amongst the Kamitians and other Africans, were most desirable in mothers and wives.



In traditional African culture, social role models are based on organized laws that take in and integrate all aspects of man's being. It is an indisputable fact that women, as a whole, have a lower metabolic rate, and a higher para-sympathetic output than men. Among many functions, the para-sympathetic nervous system governs reproduction, gestation, and the trance states. These are the principles upon which women's roles in traditional African culture are defined. Activities that over stimulate the sympathetic (military, hunting, those requiring psychic aggressiveness), or diminish the capacity of the para-sympathetic functions were discouraged in women. The toll to be paid is in the reduction of the quality of childbearing, social peace and harmony, and spiritual inspiration. The latter is to be understood from the intimate relationship between the para-sympathetic and trance. As religion concerns itself with the inner realm of being, its main means, therefore, is the process of trance. It is a state in which an individual's externalizing faculties are "detached from the will," allowing the focus of consciousness to be internalized. Proficiency in this state of internalized consciousness gives the individual full acquaintance with the metaphysical realm. On one hand, communication becomes possible with the two classes of entities dwelling therein-the "living dead" (ancestors), and the spirits or natural intelligences (angels, deities) that administer the phenomena of the world. On the other hand, first hand knowledge of man's metaphysical vehicles (the deities of the tree of life making up his spiritual being), and his true relation with God, the divine laws, and the world is attained. Participation in African and Oriental rituals will reveal that women in general can enter into the states of trance with greater ease than men. This is why societies that utilize trance working in their religious practices have a greater appreciation and respect for women, and protect their capacity for prophetic inspiration by safeguarding them from such activities as soldiering, policing, etc.



Auset as "Mother of all living things," corresponds to the stage of conception of the will to achieve a specific goal. This conception, the uniting of the will (an image of what is to be achieved) to the life-force, (Ra) is achieved through mediumistic trance. It is interesting to note that in the Kamitic language the word "Tut" means "to clothe", Image, "to beget", etc. Out of ignorance, most of the time that people declare the will to achieve a specific goal they are in a state of externalized consciousness (non-emotional state), or verbalize it, and therefore fail to impress the idea upon the life-force. The same name, "Mother of the Gods and the living", is made for Het-Heru, but her function deals with the gestation of the impregnated idea (daydreams in which we are enjoying the objective). In our discussion of Ausar above, we discussed the origin and meaning of Auset's name. We must add that her "special name" as Khenemet Aunkhet, also conceals the fact that she is also to be invoked through the heka "Aung" (Aunk-note that g and k are interchangeable). In this role she shares many of the attributes of the Dravidian White Tara Goddess who combines both the qualities of Ausar and Auset. This name Khenemet Aunkhet which denotes the Water of life and fertility" is also applied to Het-Heru. As such she corresponds to the Dravidian Green Tara. The healing and fertility giving powers of this heka "Aung Tang" has been proven many times in the Auset and Het-Heru shrines of the Ausar Auset Society.

Playing with plural pronouns being a human pontification, not necessarily of God, it causes one to think that the "His" imagery was written or translated by a man and the latter day "Our" imagery was written or translated by a woman or man who wanted to reduce the impact of the "His" gender sense.

The answer to this puzzle lies more in who wrote and rewrote Genesis for what purpose, than anything God may have said on his or her days off.

Too literal and not very creative in the application of the masculine and the feminine to energies, but all too true.

What the "us" simply exhibits God's triune nature (Father, Son, Holy Spirit)?

Nicely put.

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Joh 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Joh 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
Joh 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
Joh 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

I don't deny The Trinity.




The Logos, The Word.




However, it is a fact, if you know anything about Hebrew; that: [If we study carefully the word "Elohim," which figures in the Bible, we will find that it is a feminine noun with a masculine plural ending. The exact translation of such noun is "Gods and Goddesses."]


So where does the feminine principle come in?

It can be seen in the Tetragrammaton(YHVH) as well:

TETRAGRAMMATON: (Greek) Tetra: Four Grammaton: Letter Name

Four Letter Name

In Hebrew spelled:

Yod: Father, Fire
He: Mother, Water
Vau: Son, Air
He: Daughter, Earth

Yod: Adam, Joseph, Brahma, Huehueteotl, etc.

Cheve: Eve, Mary, Maia, Isis, or under whatever name etc etc.

It is the Intimate Spirit.

However, you must examine the verbs used afterward. When refering to the God of Israel the verb following elohim is in singluar, masculine form.

then also we have the tradition that says before the destructionof the first
temple that the holy of holies was the domicile of " God and his consort.

now that raises another point, If the consort of said God was not female or
at the very least feminine it kind of shoots to **** the modern condemnation of
homosexuality. So which was it? Male and Female? Male and Male? or maybe
Female and Female? androgenous?

Will you give us an example of this?

Mar 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Mar 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
Mar 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Um okay.

I agree with those quotes^^^(although definitely don't take them on face value).


But how may I ask, are they relevant to this thread?
