Why Is The Divine Feminine A Threat?

The answer is simple; It's not! A lot of people (Some women as well as men) have trouble adapting to this changing world!

Sophia I have no idea who she is, Lilith is Adam's (of Adam and Eve fame) first wife. However, she defied Adam and was banished from Eden. I'm sure that someone else here can give you a full on explanation but I am only aware of the the 'Cliff's notes' version.

Sophia is Divine Wisdom. In some traditions she takes the place of the Holy Spirit (who is also Divine Wisdom) in the Trinity.

It's all power and conditioning. With time, we can make a change through our children. Once little girls know it's okay to be assertive (not aggressive) and intelligent, that they hold value just as themselves, not because what man they are with. And to teach little boys the value of girls, mothers, sisters. I just think men like being on top and want to keep it that way... but nothing lasts forever. Once upon a time Rome fell. Male dominated religions are only a couple of thousand years old. Not so long in the bigger scheme of things. Worshipping the feminie devine lasted many thousands of years before that. It will come back or hopefully something equally feminine and masculine will come in its place.

With the popularity of The DaVinci Code and Elaine Pagels' books (among others), the Divine feminine is entering the collective conscious in a powerful way. What are the ripples of this influence, do you think?[/qb]
The ripples of influence are Wellness.

There are dogmas here, and there, about how women shouldn't transcend their rolls as child bearers.

I think as you stated Janet, the Divine feminine is entering the collective consciousness. In my humble opinion sharing this simple fact and examples, as you just did, starts the old brains rolling along in the best way.

Leading by example as you do is the best solution. Highlighting achievements of women that will inspire and educate others - beyond their conditioning.]

Hear, Hear! Excellent post! I agree.
Everyone has heard the old saying what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Well if you ask the goose most of the time he doesn't agree. Why's that? It has long been my personal opinion that men deep down without realizing it remeber when women were worshiped and honored. The Divine Feminine was the main deity. Women in general were revered as life bringers, the held the positions of power. So that nowdays when women do things that not only threaten the male dominant role in society, but going even deeper do things that diminish themselves in the eyes of the men it upsets the men. Men (most men)are used to holding women in high regard and when the pedstal is knocked out from under the woman it like I said upsets them. Opening doors, stopping to help a lady change a tire, etc, they may tell themselves it is because women are weak or incapable, but really I think it goes back to Goddess worship and honoring women. But of course that's just my opinion.

If you would like accurate and researched reasons for why women strike fear in men, read
"Mysogyny - The World's Oldest Prejudice".This book has been discussed elsewhere on this forum, but it is certainly worth mentioning and reading.

Incidentally, the author is Male. His name is Jack Holland. His daughter had the book published posthumously, and had to tackle 9 Publishing houses before one had the courage to 'Publish and be damned....'

Quite the most brilliant, unbiased, factual and explanatory book I have ever read on the subject.

It's all tied in with "environmentalism"
indigenous peoples seen by patriarchal/ colonial mindset as substandard and exterminated
women abused and exploited and their children ignored/ expoited and left for dead
ripping up the dirt for the bounty beneath and leaving the rest to rot
these are all signs of the sickness that a male dominated society can produce when it has no respect for the other half-the other part of it's own- male and female are spereate energies, but each must respect and allow for the other in balance <img src="/images/graemlins/beamedup.gif" alt="" />


If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember what you said.
