I feel like this, too. I wonder if there are millions of us who feel the same way, all over the globe. All that we have been through has prepared us for this moment to arise, together, and heal our world.
Interesting. Heavenly father to heavenly mother... I think dualism can be confusing. I'm just going to stick with Jesus or God - and trust that these are benevolent abiding within rather external forces. Thats just my opinion... And yes - I think many souls have left... Perhaps some are returning. Not sure some are ready or want to.
Did God have a wife? is a book by William Deaver, renowned biblical archeologist. The answer simply is yes. More complex is why Her voice has been removed from most of the Old Testament and who committed this crime (and why).
Our Holy Mother was known as Wisdom and She was the original Holy Spirit. Her voice remains in Psalms 8.
Calling on our Mother in need has a profound emotional healing effect on our psyche as documented in The Primal Scream by Arthur Janov, arguably the biggest selling book on popular psychology ever. So I would say yes, She is a benevolent and abiding internal force that has also had a profound influence on my external life.
Our book on this topic and how mothers in general have been gaslighted (and why) should be released early next year.
The reference to souls leaving and returning in this poem is energetic. I wonder if you have ever seen a child trying to twist their head backward out of their mothers grasp? We pull away from situations we do not want to face and run away in our own thoughts. Our head tilts back and our chin goes up and to others we look arrogant instead of afraid. This attracting further hostility.
Learning to stay present and hold my posture is something my mother tried to teach me as a child. I was anxious and did not grasp the significance of what she was sharing. I did work on my posture but not under fire, which I would learn so many years later is when remaining square is most important. My posture under fire was more like the child in the Banksy illustration I have borrowed for this piece.
Working on my posture and becoming stronger has occupied much of my focus the past few years. I highly recommend Dr. Alekseev on Youtube. His exercises are amazing and I find his sense of humor amusing . I incorporate what he teaches with Feldenkrais and resistance training at the gym.
When I was talking to a stranger at a party the other night, this man began dismissing something I had only spoken about briefly as made up (to make myself feel better) and built on sand. As this was in response to something I had shared with him that I had experienced first hand, I found his comment decidedly rude. My first instinct was to twist away feeling hurt. Instead I faced him squarely and quietly said, "You have no idea what you are talking about." He was taken aback and fumbled with his words for awhile before he ran away. Later I overheard another guest speaking loudly to him saying, "Well you seem to be the expert on just about every topic", it wasn't as harsh a response as mine but similar.
I once would never have had the courage to stand my ground like that, but really what I said was not rude. He had been rude and dismissive of me, and really didn't have any idea what he was talking about. I stayed with him and calmly spoke my truth. Instead of running away hurt I had a fabulous night filled with fun and compliments.
This shift for me, who previously fled from social challenges like an anxious rabbit, is complete. No longer will I pull away.
Thanks for your comment Kerrie. Yes it takes time to feel ready to stay present and I think you are right that many people are not ready and don't want to - but despite the courage that it requires it really is the safest place to be :)
Yes - I have found it challenging lately to squarely face that which either triggers or challenges me - that anxious feeling when you just want to leave the room or leave everything else and hide under a rock for a few hours. Being present is not easy in those moments and really, it becomes a battle in the mind of being comfortable in my own skin and looking the "lion in the eye" so to speak. Pulling away is the easy road and sometimes preferred. :) Although you say it is ultimately taking courage to be present is the safe place to be and I would totally agree, those with trust issues do not find vulnerability safe... perhaps even vulnerability and fragility get mixed up and blended in the emotional entanglement of not belonging and self protecting.
Yes - proverbs speaks of wisdom as feminine although I have not thought much on the view as mother / holy spirit. It is unfamiliar. And yes - it may be that there is so much missing from the biblical for whatever reasons - it seems the social engineers work hard at remaining in control of all narratives and information.

Beautiful! Yes, dear Mother Mary, help us and pray for us! Fiat!
