The Balance

[Zephonith Serpent Woman]

"There must be a balance of male(Osiris) and female(Isis),

positive and negative, active and receptive, within each mind for creative purposes.

There are certain types of controlling people who do not want this knowledge to be revealed;

who wage wars on physical and mental levels to keep this creative energy from being used.

But the negative and the positive always have an attraction for each other; their offspring are the vindication of this attraction.

True knowledge and Wisdom (Thoth) sees that a balance is kept the cycles of being observed.

The Mother's laws decree that balance of the mind, body and spirit are essential to inner and outer peace.

The wisdom of seeing the truth keeps this balance, even if we are plagued by outside interference."

This passage has always meant so much to me and so I considered sharing it!

All civilization was founded upon the cyclical principle; which naturally is credited to Thoth, God of Wisdom, also known as Sutekh and Hermes, the pupil of the Great Goddess Au-set, Queen of Magick and Goddess of the Universe.

The cycles of Luna and all cycles of existence come from the same common source, after all. All original Gods of humankind, are really aspects of the Divine Feminine in male form!

Without cyclical measurements, life as we know it would not be possible.

Just as everything we place on the spiral path of life, does return again ~ like a giant wheel in outer space, which we walk round and round upon, again and again ~ we make our own future and destiny.

It really doesn't matter whether one views the Goddess as an archetype, a symbol of Love; an Angel, a Dark Goddess or a Goddess of Magick; as the Earth, as all planets and the space-in-between; as a flower unfolding, or even as a person in appearance. All are true!

The Goddess is everything living, everything natural in origin.

Yet everyone always searches frenetically for the elusive happiness, which is in reality, spiritual satisfaction, everywhere else possible but within of themselves.

This elusive satisfaction - being truly 'at ease' in ones own body, and in ones' inner self (the opposite of being 'dis-ease'd) is to be found only within.

Because we are reflections of the Goddess on Earth, as all living things are; we have the Divine Feminine within. Everyone has, as Nature teaches that we are all of both female and male essence; and that the thing which makes things grow, is common to all things..

When we are balanced, we are happy and at ease with ourselves.

So what prevents us from achieving this state of balance?

The sad truth, is - just about everything that society can throw at you since birth!  We are constantly being prevented from accessing the vital wisdom which enables one to truly love oneself, and reconnect with the inner goddess within!

The false patriarchal programming which teaches that the universe is made up of violently opposed forces, of good and evil, the patriarchal god of good and his son, the god of evil, playing chess at the expense of humans for all eternity; is a very recent invention.

It has no bearing on reality, and was designed as a societal control mechanism, based on using the fear of ending up in a horrific hell of punishment to ensure slave-like compliance with the aims of the controlling powers, to whom wealth and power are gods.

Yet this programming, though easily identified for exactly what it is, is very deeply entrenched in the human psyche after several milennia of propaganda and patriarchal brainwashing, starting at a very early age, in the home, in schools, and in the Churches.

It has saturated the popular mindset to such a degree, that the Goddess is called a female devil even by certain so-called Pagans themselves nowadays. 

The power to divert, is only matched by the power to restrict and to rule through fear.

None of these qualities or powers are of the Great Goddess; we can see them clearly, and fear for what it is, the users and wielders of fear-based control for who they really are:

and so now, things should be a tad clearer?

Aside from all other considerations, the Devil of the Bible belongs among Goddess people about as much as a male chauvanist pig in a Dianic circle.

Balance is absolutely Key, as I'm sure Lucifer would agree

Welcome, John

Basically I never wish to come across as preaching myself, however I must admit that I do love the fact that at least one thing I have been endlessly prattling on about over the years, has sunk home. The thing is, we are all of the same place, and share the same energies, and all possess certain unique powers and latent capabilities, rusty from non-use and stored away in closet 13, but still always there ready to be used again..

It's just up to us to realize these fully and then maybe even practice them in this dimension. It's not so easy, it seems, yet it is actually the easiest thing to accomplish ~ just being oneself, and happy with your own life. Easy, if one accepts reality and sees that no-one else has any right to influence your own life path. They have only the right to allow you the freedoms they themselves would also enjoy, if they let themselves.

It's so easy to allow others to spoil our lives; yet, if we take responsibility for our own, and to me that means also accepting oneself for who we really are; nothing can ever remove us from what we are and from reclaiming what is rightfully ours. This life should be a gift, not some fear-laden burden and drain on one's life force.

Getting to know oneself within means that in this process, everything that has been taught is turned upside down and what we thought we knew, turns out to be what we don't know at all...so it takes courage to hold tight to one's own while most don't believe you, fear or hate you because they don't understand; don't care., or want to prove you wrong.

We are taught that there is a God high up in the sky, always judging us and who promises either heaven or hell, depending. This idea has caused many people to believe that they have no control over their own lives, but more importantly, it has had the insidious effect of removing people from themselves, which is the Whole.

Personally i feel that if only people could realize that all superficial things don't matter at all - such as what we like to call ourselves, or label ourselves by ~ or allow ourselves to be pigeonholed and labelled as ~ with that basic realization, hate would no longer be possible. Utopian? Well, yes ~ and far older than any religions, which come from it. Thus, it's nice to associate with similar minded folk where interests are mutual and there's nothing wrong with honoring and living a Tradition, of course(or a few, if your'e eclectic in your approach). It basically comes down to what works for one, as long as no harm is done.

Gender, aside from basic and fundamental physiological characteristics which define it in medical terms, means so much on a superficial, outer level, yet everything is bi-sexual in essence, which to me was always the great leveller. Here I go again...

Thank you very much for your insightful comments!

We are the goddesses and gods; and it's up to us to live up to that. The Goddess is here and the God is here. In us ~ we are mini living incarnations of the Divine, here on Earth. So that tells me that there are a lot of people who do not yet realize the simple Truth. That we are Divine, and that we have the power to accomplish anything we want to. Nature is on our side:) The Goddess and God are always here to assist, yet even if a billion opportunities are given, if we don't rise up and take these, the situation will remain out of ease and progress will again be delayed. 

No-body can do it for us, except ourselves. We create our lives, can change them at will, and define our own reality. The Goddess just waits patiently for all to return, is all (in their OWN ways).
