THE DIVINE FEMININE - If you have to even take a single step in any direction to seek the Divine you are going the wrong way. [Source]
The Hopi
and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end.
Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The
message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future
ahead. Our moving through with either
resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen
with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same theme
can be found reflected in the prophecies of many other Native American
visionaries from Black Elk to Sun Bear." - Joseph Robert Jochmans
Don’t get caught in the dark without a story and a star, make your wish on a fairy tale moon.
After a day at a conference:
Women
have given their power away to men for far too long. Gender equity
is not evident in the course of daily living. Women give men the right to
guide them in all forms of activity from health, to education, business,
culture, politics and religion. Yet, most of what men know comes from
their relationships with women.
Why
are men the forgers of the future? Only one reason persists. Women allow
them to be. We must learn to work together, but it is the responsibility
of women to be sought out for their wisdom and expertise.
My
idea of sitting for 7 hours and listening to a man talk about his spouse,
family, business, religious beliefs and political views is not a waste of
time but an infringement upon my time. This speaker was born in 1965, the same
year as my daughter, my youngest child. Taking seven hours to bring me to
the “why” of my existence for $37 (the cost of an expensive lunch) and
then pitch a year-long program with books, tapes and DVDs that I must
spend time reading, listening to and watching for the conference price of
only $997 is not only irresponsible but downright unforgiveable.
My
idea of a Women’s Prosperity Network is women doing serious business
with women and men, not listening to men lecture about their businesses
and drawing me into investing in them and their ideas, especially when I
am not feeling that they will use my business services.
Money
is energy given and received to have or experience objects and events. One
million dollars is the threshold of success for many and, certainly, most
large projects require large outputs of money. This is indisputable. But
the measure of a person is not in how much money they have laid up but in
how they use their personal power to enhance their existence and that of
others.
I
don’t believe it is others we live for. I believe we are here to
experience personal power. If it is projecting ideas onto a canvas,
instrument, blackboard, stove, billboard, computer screen, in a book, an
athletic activity or some other form of self-expression, it is exhibiting
personal power that is a manifestation of the larger creation.
Paying
“coaches” to guide you to your personal power, your “why” is a
waste of time, if the payment precludes the purpose. No matter how many
schools, courses, lectures or lessons you attend, you must find your
purpose within yourself, on your own. Coaches and guides are escorts to
the threshold of your understanding of your existence. You make the
journey alone. No one affirms your purpose. They offer the uniform, course
material, equipment and mantra to use, but they cannot use them for you.
Therefore,
in knowing that it is YOU that you are working toward, it behooves you to
refrain from networks of people who consider these methods concrete and
relatable to all. They are not.
Diva JC
I believe we are here to experience personal power.

"I had no idea that these women existed. In history and in art -- for instance, in the stone reliefs of the Persian Archaemedians -- there is no indication that women have any particular status. In fact, women are sort of invisible, because history is always written by men." - Davis-Kimball
