Creating a New World



I recently began to re-read a book that truly changed my life view of how our world has gotten to where we are today. That book is The Chalice and the Blade, by Riane Eisler.  I first read this book back in the 80's when it first came out. Yes, I was one of those women who was just beginning to discover the Goddess.  This book had taken work done buy Maria Gimbutus one of the first women archeologists of her day to actually prove that there was a Goddess culture in many societies before they were taken over by what Riane calls, the nomadic hordes or the Kurgans. 

Partnership Societies

I am telling you about this book because I feel that it is important for us to know why we got here. At least to understand the roots of why our world was turned upside down. For thousands of years, there were cultures that existed that Riane calls partnership societies.  Women and men lived in harmony together, and art, science, medicine, music, as well as agriculture, shipping and technology thrived. These cultures like Minoa, (2300 BC) or Crete, lived a sort of idyllic life one that is often akin to what we might call a garden of Eden. That is not to say that they did not have their problems like any other society but for the most part they were peaceful, artistically advanced and often women and men shared equal status and responsibility for the governing of their cities..

 At any rate, as I began to re-read the passages of the book that told about Crete and how because it was protected by the sea, the hordes of nomadic peoples, or the Kurgans, that were ravishing most of Old Europe for a period of hundreds of years, did not reach Minoa or Crete until much later. So this advanced culture survived for almost 1500 years until earthquakes and other natural disasters weakened the terrain and the walls that protected their city.

The Kurgans

What actually took place was that the dominator cultures of these nomadic tribes used their knowledge of bronze to develop weapons of destruction and war rather than for science, technology, or art.  Their gods were Yaweah, and other gods of war.  The goddess did not really hold a high place as these tribes lived often in the desert and not in the fertile planes of Old Europe. They were nomadic and women were the servers of men. What happened because of these invasions by these people called the Kurgans literally changed the course of our history from one of being dedicated to fostering feminine values into one that fostered extreme masculine values of domination, war, and power over others.

These nomadic hoardes literally turned civilization as it was known upside down.

 I remember when I first read this I felt devastated and cried for hours in despair as to what caused our world to become a dominator culture.  Today, most of us on some level have acknowledged that any society that lives based on only one set of values will become imbalanced and sick.  We know that our Western culture and even much of our Eastern and Asian cultures are based on masculine dominator values.  We have often experienced first hand the harsh realities of living in a dominator culture but we have also seen the rise of feminine values and women today have finally begun to be heard.

What You Can Do

So why is this important for us to understand?  Well, I believe that when we know the reasons for any change in a culture or society and we can see where we came from first, then we can also know that we can create a new way for all to live. We know that right now our old dominator structures are crumbling before our eyes. Yes, sometimes it doesn't feel that way, but in truth, I am here to tell you that it is.  Before any new society can be created the old must die, it must crumble and it may take years or decades for it to do so. The old dinosaurs will eventually not last the new ideas of a people who truly wish to change the world they are living in.
  • One of the most important things any of us can do at this pivotal time in our history is to hold a vision of what you want our world to become and feel what it would feel like if the world was like that. Because our thoughts are very powerful when you add emotions to them they are potentiated and have a much more powerful effect. This means having a clear idea and believing in that vision wholeheartedly. So much that when you hear the news or feel the beginnings of doubt you see your vision and you feel the power of that. Never underestimate the power of your thoughts. 
  • Secondly, stop listening to the news, It really isn't so new and you know that most of it is fake.So why to bother to turn-on your T.V, I saw a wonderful comedian the other night, Swami Beyondaanda and he said instead of listening to the fake news, Tele-a-Vision. Share your vision of what you want to see rather than what you don't.
  • Third, choose to take your power back from where ever you may have given it away willingly or unwillingly. It is so important at this time that you learn how to discern what is truth and what it fake. Not everything you see, read is the truth, much of it is propaganda. Learning how to develop an inner sense of discernment and guidance is very important at this time. I offer private sessions to people who would like to learn how to do this for themselves and am available to discuss this with you if you desire to. Just email me and we can set-up a time to speak.
  •  You can do this very easily in a number of ways. You can call it back to you as you stand in your room and say,  I call my power back to me from_____  wherever you feel you left it or gave it away. This could be person, place, situation, relationship whatever. You can literally call it back to you.  You can then add, I take it back and give back to whomever, any power that is not mine. Anything like this or a  variation will work.
  • Fourth, claim your sovereignty and release anything that has kept you feeling limited, hooked, or entrapped by anything outside of yourself. Never give your power away to anyone, not even a master teacher. As a sovereign being, you are aligned with Source and are a co-creator of your world and the world you wish to create.

What Makes a Woman Alluring and the Power of the New Feminine Mystique

Image
I love the word 'allure'. The word itself captivates one and I find it holds the energy of its meaning. To be alluring is 1) to temp or entice; 2) the power of attraction, 3) to beguile. It could also mean that one has charisma or even the power to seduce or be seductive. When one is 'alluring' the allured is under a “spell” or so it may seem. Don’t you just love knowing that if you are a woman you have the power to beguile? In fact that is where it all began in the mythical Garden of Eden when the Snake (symbol for sexuality) beguiled Eve to eat the apple of knowledge. The question I wish to explore here is if this is the old definition of what it means to be alluring then what could the new definition be? This is an important question for women to answer, for ever since the ‘fall’ we women have been trying to apologize for being a woman. I believe that the time has come to reshape, reconfigure and redefine what it means to be a woman who has allure or what I c...

The question I wish to explore here is if this is the old definition of what it means to be alluring then what could the new definition be? For centuries, we've been told that our ability to captivate men somehow contributed to the downfall of mankind. Our natural sensuality was labeled as too potent and alluring for men to handle. Consequently, the term 'allure' took on a negative connotation, cau...
