I have thought for a long time now that a rejoining of feminine energies to masculine ones (or at least to the healthy type of masculine energy) and a new honoring of "das Ewigweibliche" (Goethe, Faust, last scene), would go far towards healing the world. And this is not against my Christian beliefs either: God is both masculine and feminine (see Genesis 1:27), and I cannot imagine S/He approves how women have been suppressed these millennia. The Bible records how in ancient Israel, women were judges, warriors and prophetesses. And wasn't it women who were largely responsible for Northern Ireland's current relative peace?<br /><br />The rock opera I performed in in 2008, "Magdalene, Woman of Light", was all about rediscovering the Divine Feminine and how Mary Magdalene may have been "the disciple whom Jesus loved" (John 13:23-25,21:20). Some conservative Christians are rather horrified by this, of course; but I figure it makes little difference to what Jesus came to do: to teach, and be the sacrificial Lamb of God. He himself was notably, even "notoriously," generous and accepting towards women--and that's going only by the canonical Bible books!<br /><br />We must regain a new appreciation of women and women's gifts. I only hope it's not too late.Alex B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06699973119866294862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359119424342025391.post-81341655108022003162011-06-10T16:45:11.964+01:002011-06-10T16:45:11.964+01:00jochanaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143066702059757955noreply@blogger.com
