The Divine Feminine…how the phrase needles me. Over and over I hear it and, it effects me like the sound of nails scraping across a blackboard. I grit my teeth and……
breathe…
I gather my thoughts
focus inward
center myself…
For well do I know, my response to hearing the phrase, is my responsibility.
No two ways about it. The subject bugs me.
Every time it’s brought up, I feel like I have to sit on my hands, so they don’t start typing anything. Duct tape my mouth shut, too, so nothing comes out that way, either.
My eyes narrow to little slits, my nostrils flare and, energy crackles around me.
I know this mood. It’s stubborn. I also know my resistance is futile. No matter how much distraction I find, the subject will always come up, again. Until I face the issue and transform the charge it has for me surrounding it.
The subject inspires annoyance within me.
I’m not going to pretend and project, I know I’m annoyed at myself.
Because I don’t know how to say, what could use being said. We keep denying our own Power, as women, choosing instead to compete with men, over who is the better man. I mean, just look at us. We dress like we imagine men would dress if they were women. And look at the runway models, the images of ‘beauty’ we see paraded past our eyes…ever noticed the image closely resembles an adolescent boy? Take two ice cream scoops of silicone and, presto, a ‘woman’.
There is a saying that I keep hearing:
“A woman has to do twice as much to be recognized as half as good as a man.”
Every time I hear it, I keep wondering what happened to the second line of it:
“Fortunately, it isn’t difficult.”
And maybe that one line, so often forgotten, makes a great deal of difference?

It is a form of seperation maybe?

I completely agree.

{{tumel}} You’re spot on it! And I don’t mean to apply any inferior connotations about men. I LOVE men! I wouldn’t ever think to imagine such negative things about men, as a lot of us women do. I wouldn’t ever dream to treat my husband as an object of my possession, either. If his will is not Free, he isn’t free to be himself.
My attitude is my responsibility. And if I’m focused on changing someone to better suit my liking, I’m not Loving that person. I’m not even Respecting that person. And that road goes both ways.

{{ggirl}} Our attitude is so important, isn’t it? I didn’t become an engineer in the 70′s waiting for opportunities to be legislated. I created my own opportunities, by being prepared to make all the same effort. I worked the foundry in steel manufacturing because it was a requirement. I did it in pigtails and ribbons but, I did it.

Hi SueAnn and all.
First I wanted to say that I am pretty sure I agree with you completely but I want to ask first what exactly is it you object to – specifically? Is it the words “devine feminine”? I’m not sure if I missed something here or not -
Wishing you peace today SueAnn – and to all your readers as well. ~ RS ~

Dearest {{Ruby}}.
Thank You.
For giving me an opportunity.
My ‘objection’ as you phrase it, my ‘aggravation’, my ‘annoyance’, what ‘it’ is, that upsets my sense of Peace…is within myself.
I refuse to project it outwards. I don’t ever surrender my Sovereignty.
Because of this, when a particular subject comes up where I sense ‘this’ in ANY way, I know is something I need to look at. Within me.
There’s something that I’m trying to communicate to myself. I’m displeased and objecting to myself. Annoyed with myself. Aggravated with myself. For some reason. Around this particular subject.
Looking within, I found out why.
There is much I’m not sharing.
It’s not that I lack desire. Oh my yes, I desire.
I desire for us all to be empowered, who’s hearts yearn to be empowered. Who’s souls yearn for Union with their Spirit down to the very fiber of our beings. Like a vision of paradise once seen and lost, so only a vague longing now remains.
But to say what needs said, pisses a lot of us off.
Basically, essentially, what a lot of us have been CALLING the ‘divine feminine’ and ‘the goddess energy’, ISN’T even remotely close to it.
I’m not asking anyone to believe me. All I ask is we look into our hearts and ponder something for a moment.
There’s is NO way I can express the Divinity within me and inspire the Divinity within others to come forth in resonance, from the perspective and attitude of a Victim.
It is a contradiction in concept.
It doesn’t make any sense and can’t be lived in any kind of Integrity.
And I don’t mean to make a bunch of women mad at me because I know how many of us imagine we’ve been victimized.
There’s nobody better equipped by design of our cultures to understand the science and techniques of Intuitive Science better then us women.
But we’re too timid.
We may make puffs of smoke with light shows of thunder and lightning, just like the fella’s do. But we’re too afraid to be bold. We’re not used to claiming our own wills.
We’re used to nurturing and comforting our physical children but don’t have the foggiest idea how to nurture and comfort the spiritual child within us. Not a clue. Since it’s been the way of the World to live in denial of it.
And that’s what the Divine Feminine is all about.
