Reign

Reign, O Mother and Queen, by showing us the path of holiness, and by guiding and assisting us that we may never stray from it.

In the heights of Heaven, thou doth exercise thy primacy over the choirs of Angels, who acclaim thee as their sovereign, and over the legions of Saints who delight in beholding thy radiant beauty.

Much of Judeo-Christian theology is actually based on the Divine Feminine. Divine Harmony, Wisdom and Truth. The Divine Feminine archetype is also related to the process of purification, transformation and illumination of matter. By its very essence, this archetype is the printing and the implementation of spiritual ideas in the material world. The Christ-Sophia (principle of love-wisdom and masculine-feminine) the divine feminine in balance with the divine masculine The divine eternal feminine took the shape of woman. Just like the Verb of God (Christ/Sophia) became flesh in Jesus, the Divinity could also adopt, in order to manifest its feminine side, the shape of a woman, blessed amongst all women of all times, and "full of grace". Those words belong to Gabriel, one of the High spirits that assist God, according to the Gospel of Luke (Luke 1:28 and 30).

Maybe it serves to transcribe here a surprising version of how Mary was seen by the early followers of Jesus: "At this time the mother of Jesus died and was buried in the same place were He had been crucified, and a stone was erected on the site. On that stone, the relatives of Jesus wrote these words: "Behold that here is a ladder erected upon the land that reaches heaven, and upon She the angels of God ascend and descend, and the Mother rejoices here with Her children". (Memoirs of Heggesipus quoted by Eusebius/Acts of the Nazarites by Julius Africanus)

The word matter comes from the same word as mother... parts of a document called the "Gospel of the Hebrews" has been quoted by the Church Fathers Origen and Jerome, writing in the 3rd and 4th centuries CE. This document explicitly identifies Mary with the Holy Spirit. This strongly suggests that the Christian sect which accepted this early Gospel believed that
Mary was divine, and part of a Trinity.

The presence of Mary in the Woman clothed with the Sun

A reflective analysis of Revelation 12:1 and following versicles can come upon certain deductions: The woman is a mother for she is about to give birth. The fact that she is clothed with the sun, symbol of light, warmth and life, can very well represent her divine essence. What other visions contained in the Bible concede these attributes to another person? The moon beneath her feet could very well indicate the triple goddess and that she has conquered and surpassed the seven spheres of the planets like Christ overcame the world. And as a crown upon her head, twelve stars that can symbolize both : The twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve apostles of Jesus.

I am that Goddess. I am the force of the universe in the shape of a woman. Nothing exists that is not me, and nothing but me exists. All women are but manifestations of me. And I am the manifestation of all women.

The evolution of a new feminist spirituality stands at the heart of the process of human transformation.

The Eastern religious traditions have for millennia observed that if you fail to show respect to the female principle within and without, the results can be awesomely destructive.

Within the analytical tradition of Carl Jung and the work of mythologists such as Joseph Campbell, there is much evidence to support the existence of the feminine principle (anima) within the human psyche alongside that of the male principle (animus). Jung's definition of spiritual growth within the individual in large part relates to the development and integration of those male and female components of the human psyche.

We must create and express a vision of connectedness in order to move beyond the unequal power relations that are tearing our world apart. Yet the symbol systems with which we understand reality are often essentially patriarchal. We lack alternative images with which to transform ourselves and creation. In too many cases the great religions of the world have built up rather than dismantled our vision of inequality and disconnection. The angry father God in heaven raining down punishment upon disobedient children reinforces destructive human behavior. But traditional religion still exerts a great influence on many hearts and minds. "Sophia bridges the gap between feminist spirituality's need for transforming images and the demand of the biblical traditions that such images be congruent with their history and experience. Sophia can serve as the image, the "role model" a the heart of feminist spirituality, symbolizing as she does the connectedness between all beings.
Urge every person of faith to sink their lives deeply into all that their religious system can be, but never to assume that God is a Being who can be known only through that tradition. God cannot be limited and the ultimate judgment about what is finally true belongs to God alone, not to us. So walk in love. Join hands with all those who seek God and a god-filled life. They are not the enemies of your religious convictions.
The myth of the lost Goddess, for example, is not designed to tell us about women, but about the human condition. The God and the Goddess represent two aspects of our identity, regardless of whether or not we are male or female."
