The idea that the Holy Spirit was female is a basic from the Hebrew language
and from Old Testament scriptures. The Holy Spirit or 'Rauch'(rawach) , was
feminine in all of Solomon's writings as the divine presence that was feminine,
in both Proverbs and other writings of Solomon.
The early Palestinian Jesus movement used this Wisdom theology in its
understanding of Jesus. For them, Jesus is Sophia's messenger, and the earliest
Christian theology is Sophialogy. This communal understanding is rooted in the
biblical writers' understanding of Jesus as the prophet and child of Sophia. The
Christian missionary movement, saw Jesus as divine Sophia herself. Jesus as
Christ-Sophia, is enthroned as ruler of the whole cosmos, and this is the
foundational myth of the Christian community.
Sophia is not derivative or secondary to Yahweh, but rather existed in her own
right before creation -- indeed, that Yahweh needed her to begin the creative
process. As alternative reading of Proverbs 8:22 ("Yahweh created me") is
"Yahweh acquired me," which also hints at her status as an autonomous divine
figure. Again, in Wisdom 10, Sophia is depicted as the divine saving figure in
history, guiding Noah to safety, calling Abraham, and leading Moses and the
Hebrew people to safety through the sea. In fact, Sophia and God seem to be
fully interchangeable ..."
It is clear that the life went out of 'Psyche' as Occidental thought moved from
myth to philosophy. It is also clear that this movement from myth to philosophy
coincided with the rise of Babylon's dualism and Western Christian dogma adopted
pneuma as a neuter, never feminine, grace. As a result, rather than
investigating the resourceful living imagery of life and nature, the Christian
tradition is limited by a 'disassociate' concept for spirit. Yet Daphne is not
so easily forgotten or captured, and from the wilderness she whispers, "I am
dreams, I am butterfly, I am woman.

Church of the first century worshiped the Holy Spirit both as female and as part
of the Godhead. So the "Holy Spirit," is rediscovered; closely akin to, yet in
some characteristics distinct from, the Shiekhina; This concept not entirely
unknown even today, and may be discovered within some of the eastern Christian
churchs of the Byzintine Empire. Why does the Holy Spirit remain poverty
stricken in Her symbolic life within the Church? Unless theology can be
reinvested with psychology, in the manner prescribed to Nicodemus, there can be
no true spirituality in the Church. Since the Christian religion is pregnant
with multi-vocal images of the inner universe of mind, what has hindered this
development for so long? Is it because of the orthodox view of a split between
our soul and our spirit; Psyche and Pneuma? You cannot separate Humanity from
the love of the Creator.
The Spirit is vital, quick, and alive, winged, subtle, and beautiful. She cannot
abide a gilded age, no matter how extravagant. This is why the Spirit went out
of dogmatic religion after Pentecost If we are to discover paradise we must look
within. We must look up from our books of philosophy. We must break the cords of
apathy and despair forever and hear the sound of enlightenment; which is the
'Word of God'. If you listen, you can hear it now; the song your spirit has been
singing from the moment of your birth. The words of Christ contain the dynamic
of the Holy Spirit; they cause upheaval in our habitual preoccupation with
apathy and despair. We must allow the words of Christ to accomplish their
transforming work. The heart of the universe is still perfect love.
