Is it possible for a few individuals to change the world?
According to our gut instincts, our inner knowing, and the spiritual
beings that guide this group, the answer is a resounding "yes". We
are a group of people who believe wholeheartedly that when
individuals decide to grow and change, then so too does the world.
And all it takes is the first step. From small things big things
grow. All the people who have changed the course of history for the
better have known this from Jesus to Gandhi, from Mary Magdalene to
Mother Theresa.
With this in mind we come together once a month to discuss a
subject that is dear to our hearts - Goddess Awareness or, in other
words, the Divine or Sacred Feminine (amongst other subjects). We seek to understand what this
concept really means, and its importance in the world. However, not
only do we discuss this idea but the very structure of this group
reflects the essential qualities of the Goddess energy: it is about
woman and men coming together and sharing thoughts, feelings, ideas,
without hierarchy or absolute leaders. All opinions are listened to
and honored. And through this gentle holistic process we seek to
uncover what has been hidden for many centuries.
We honour the differences, and yet from those differences seek an
essential truth that is common to us all. The means by which we
uncover this truth, therefore, is just as important to us as its aim.
We cannot truly understand the Goddess energy from within our hearts
until we understand this simple idea - that means are just as
important as the end result. If we use fear, judgment and suppression
of ideas to try and get to the truth, then we will inevitably lose
our way.
It is also important to understand that the return of this Goddess
energy is not an irrelevant sideline to the more seriousā events
occurring all around us at the personal and world event levels. We
are well aware of the pain and suffering that is occurring. We are
well aware that war and strife seem to be ever present. We are well
aware that the earth is crying out in pain. We also say that these
events at the physical level are the very direct result of our
suppression of the Sacred Feminine. As long as humanity continues to
ignore the immanent, feminine aspect of God, the aspect that is
literally within every human soul regardless of race or religion, and
indeed, animates the very earth itself, and as long as we continue to
attack our fellow human beings and fail in our role as custodian for
Mother Earth we perpetuate a downward cycle for humanity. Far from
being disconnected ideas, the suppression of the Sacred Feminine is
intimately connected with humanities ability to destroy people and
place with little thought or feeling.
In these discussions some great masters of history lovingly join
us in spirit.* People whom, while they lived on the physical plane,
were also acutely aware of the importance of the Sacred Feminine and
tried in their own way to keep this idea alive and to propel it
forward. We work together, and their input adds a wonderful dimension
to our discussions, often providing clarity or gently leading us to
discover our own clarity.
Wherever you are, join us in this journey of the heart and bring
who you are and your essential truths to this discussion. To read
these words will perhaps give you ideas and inspirations. It may
perhaps show you how to undertake your own 'goddess awareness'
discussion group or inspire you to join ours. All points of view are
necessary in order to truly understand and uncover this truth. As
such you too are an essential part of the return of Goddess
awareness.
