The Principle of Feminine Spiritual Primacy "The Eternal Feminine draws us on." Faust, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a German poet and playwriter.
"More light!" Goethe's last words!!
Introduction
Throughout history, in most cultures, the truth of the strength of feminine spirituality has been prevented from rising to the surface.
As if that was not enough, most religious institutions and governments
persisted in building a male-dominated society in which the women were relegated to the background. They were taken
for granted and even ridiculed by most men.
They continued to give birth to, nurture and cultivate a family environment without which men would not have been
inspired to become the icons they became in the same society.
This speaks to the truth of the principle itself, for, barring the odd quirk of nature,
each woman embodies the essential elements of the very essence of spirituality, the basis of life itself.
An intimate rapport with her vessel called body, modesty and shyness, difficult to see at times,
but always there, are her natural endowments.
Consider the word 'Woman'. It is inclusive of 'Man' as in "Wo'man'"
Intuitively, most men feel the presence of spiritual energy all around them. They also know that women, by nature,
have a deeper connection with it than they do. And they endorse this idea whole-heartedly.
Political, social and economic clouding of the issues notwithstanding, man's unceasing fascination with the intrigue of woman
throughout history confirms this fact. Physical allure is the visible part of the whole affair.
The feminine nature of spirituality first disarms men.
Then it charms them to express their inner virility as their progeny. They want to become a father first, a husband later.
No matter what tactic or social language man uses to attract a mate, his basic yearning is to soak in feminine spirituality,
which finds expression through his emotions,
in most cases, conforming to the customs of his culture. Some men describe the yearning as an uncontrolable urge to desolve and become one -
a replay of the gestation period when they were one.
This fundamental yearning in a man's heart is watered down to an emotional language with which we are all too familiar.
The popular ritual, aka marriage, has been the raison d'etre for most, since the dawn of civilised society on Earth.
But for those whom destiny has predisposed for the rarest of miracles,
the relationship can also be nurtured entirely on the Spiritual Plane. This path requires special training,
perseverance and an irrevocable commitment that may even threaten their lives under certain conditions.
But the rewards cannot be imagined by any one or described in any language. They can only be experienced.
You may find it hard to believe that the roots of this truth are buried in the very creation
of the universe, before the Scientific Big Bang event.
There are ample biological underpinnings of this argument.
Sequence of Creation of the universe
Psychology of life
The purpose of the episode of creation was not to merely create physical space and matter.
What would be the point of that? A universe without any consciousness and intelligence, anywhere.
The sole purpose of creation, right from the beginning,
was to create an environment of consciousness and intelligence in which Life could form, flourish and evolve.
Because Life is always an embodiment of consciousness and innate intelligence, its first appearance in the universe lay dormant
until the chemical elements to make the physical shell (body) had evolved in the universe.
Furthermore, because the physical universe in its earlier stages was an extremely violent and poisonous place, no form of Life could survive
on any of its parts.
It was later, after the Milky Way galaxy had condensed, our Solar system took its place and planet Earth found itself in a goldilocks position, that is,
when biotic (favourable to life) conditions evolved on planet Earth, that the blueprint of Life,
which had been lying dormant, began to take root and become alive.
Imagine a universe of the form it is today, with no intelligence or consciousness around, to see it and know it. Does it really exist?
If the scientific answer is "yes", then the question arises "in whose mind does it exist?"
The universe exists because it is known by human intelligence.
We need to pause and reflect here. Underlying Psychology of Life is profound and goes far beyond the physical attributes of matter.
Discussion of the Sequence
In the genius of Truth, that is, in Unconditional Absolute Truth , lie all the natural laws and rules of spiritual and physical Life.
All laws and theorems of physical sciences and mathematics also exist in the genius of Truth as does all knowledge of knowables.
Without Absolute Truth as the foundation, there is no basis for anything to exist, either spiritual or physical.
The Principle of Feminine Spiritual Primacy is rooted in the Principle of Life and Design of Life, the next two elements in the sequence.
This has nothing to do with any religion or gender politics.
By Design of Life, all types of life-forms - cellular, horizontal or vertical - exist in space and space runs in their empty molecular corridors.
They have a physical shell or membrane
to make them an independent entity with a distinguishing physical identity.
The reproductive processes are varied and complex. Most are based on the duality principle.
By design, a mother spirit, maternal instinct and many biological dogmas ensure an endless continuation of all species. The general rule of a super-abundent reproduction applies to all forms of life, even under the most difficult physical conditions.
A genius or spirit, so far unimagined by the human mind, is at the root of creation, both, organic and inorganic.
Will Science, as it is today with all its tools and technology, unravel some of Life's mysteries?
Following the sequence, Massless Motion, Space and then Matter appeared in the universe, all created to serve Life.
Life is the most significant component of the whole creation. From the very outset, Creation was meant to establish the platform for Life in its countless forms, throughout the universe.
Recently, new evidence of the existence of molecules of life and water at the fringes of the solar system - upto two light-years away from Earth, has been gathered by Astrobiologists. It is quite likely that life molecules and water molecules will be found spread throughout the universe, thus lending support to the precedence of Life over matter, the underlying theme of this paper. We'll never be able to answer the question: who was or is behind this initiative?
The Current Stalemate
Kabbalah and Tora scholars point out that the "Will to Recieve" has far outpaced the "Will to Bestow" in mankind.
This has created an excessive overhang of The Personal Ego, leading to extreme materialism spreading throughout the world. Humanitarian values and
regard for natural way of life are on the decline. Natural resources are being plundered in the name of progress.
This condition is counterproductive for human spiritual progress. They see a natural Correction coming soon
- an internal Correction rather than an external one. In the mind of every Woman and Man will dawn a new optimism.
First a spirit of consideration for others, rather than ME, will be awakened. We are all interconnected and dependent upon each other.
Every single act of any form of life, affects others, and is accountable. What a great point to keep in mind!
Ayueveda calls it KARMA.
To this I add the following observation:
Tantric Scriptures say that modern man has become week, insincere and irresponsible. Modern woman has lost her way and become confused. She is all too often, immitating the ways of man in the name of gaining parity, for which she has no real desire.
Taken together, this state of affairs is not natural and not sustainable.
A Simple Proposal
For Man
Abandon the male dominance/superiority stance in the underlying scheme of things.
Acknowledge the fact that women are spiritually superior by Design of Life. Restore the status of Women to its rightful place,
based on The Principle of Feminine Spiritual Primacy. After all, Women are the gatekeepers of mankind's future.
No matter, how successful, rich or powerfull an icon a man becomes in his life, he can never measure upto his mother!
Never forget, how and where, biologically, you were born. Don't just 'Love her'; 'Worship her' and most of your troubles will disappear. It will give you an inner sense of peace, a bond beyond your wildest dreams. Harmony and balance in all relationships will come in. It's that simple.
It is worth trying.
For Women
You have forgotten your position in the Design of Life. Realize it. You are a living goddess because you have a true heart and a pure mind.
You are the very embodiment of the eternal spiritual truth. Never immitate the ways of man, for you are a proud woman!
You were born to hold things together and lead the way. You are the light by which a man finds his way! Forgive him. Instruct Him. Make Him wise!
Let's do this for the future of all children!
