On Getting It Together

When I discovered that ‘women’s libbers’ were helping wives learn how to divorce their husbands (by giving them easy access to such legalese material, both information and forms) I got angry, seeing it as simply the work of the Marxists amongst us (and especially in such infiltrated metropolitan areas as New York City) attempting to break down the family unit, thereby to make the state paramount in our lives - a state that they meant to control, and thus to take over the world thereby, in their vaunted, and totalitarian, New World Order.  But I was appalled, and gained a larger perspective on ‘the matter,’ when I came across the following material, in the book ‘Man Made God’ by quite the researcher in such general matters, Barbara G. Walker.  In a chapter titled ‘Women And Religion,’  under a subsection titled ‘American Christian Sexism,’ she points out:

“ American churches firmly supported all the political, economic and social inequalities that plagued women.  People today seldom realize that the suffragists had more at stake than winning the vote.  For example, in the past, American women were legally barred from signing contracts, making wills, or even keeping property inherited from their own families.  Everything belonged to their husbands, including their children, who could be willed away or sold into bondage by their father, whether their mother consented or not.  When a wife worked for wages, all her earnings belonged to her husband.  When a wife died, her husband automatically took everything; but when a husband died without a will, in many states the widow was allowed to live in her home for only 40 days.  The home was then sold; the widow received only one-third of its value and was sent to live with her nearest male relative.  If both husband and wife died together, the estate went to the husband’s family.  Widows and single women who earned money were forced to pay taxes, even though they couldn’t vote.

“When religious women began speaking out against slavery in the 1800s, the most influential churches in New England demanded a ban against the abolitionists, not because they wanted to free the slaves, but because they ‘set aside the laws of God by welcoming women to their platforms and allowing them to speak in public.’  Abe Lincoln’s government ‘of the people, by the people and for the people’ was actually a government of men, by men and for men.  Women had no part in it.

“Churchmen found plenty of historical precedent to support their anti-woman viewpoints…

“…In 1854, at the Fifth National Women’s Rights Convention in Philadelphia, the Reverend Henry Grew had the effrontery to stand up and say that ‘the Holy Scriptures show that it is clearly the will of God that man should be superior in power and authority to woman…No lesson is more plainly and frequently taught in the Bible than woman’s subjection.’  He was, of course, correct enough to show that women who cling to the biblical worldview will never achieve their full humanity…

“The fact is that women’s causes during the last couple of centuries have been served by the increasing rejection of Judeo-Christian mythology that accompanied the rise of scientific rationalism…”

She had, under the just-previous subsection, entitled ‘Spiritual Women’s Lib,’ made this point:

“Nineteenth-century American feminists allied themselves with the wave of rationalism then stemming from the Enlightenment, moving toward the new Freethought.  Their leaders openly declared that the Judeo-Christian God is a myth and Eve’s alleged responsibility for sin and death is a delusion.  They declared that men had been putting women down for two millennia on the basis of a primitive legend that made no sense.  [An early suffragette named Elizabeth Cady] Stanton sweepingly defied churchmen who had been cursing women on Eve’s account throughout European history.  She said, ‘Take the snake, the fruit-tree and the woman from the tableau, and we have no fall, no frowning Judge, no Inferno, no everlasting punishment—hence no need of a Savior.  Thus the bottom falls out of the whole Christian theology.’”

Um…actually, there would appear to have been, indeed, a Fall, of a kind, which kicked off the whole sojourn-in-3D thing.  As elucidated upon masterfully in the book ‘the Fall’ - subtitled ‘You were there, it’s why you’re here’ - by Michael G. Reccia.  A product of something called ‘The Joseph Communications,’ a series of very intriguing and insightful books by a disincarnate entity coming through the aforesaid incarnate soul.  

I could comment on that most interesting narrative here as well.  But that would be to open up another can of wriggly facts, competing for attention.

And anyway, nothing beats being exposed to such ideas as by checking them out for yourself.  But just, here, to give a teaser, in its closing words (Emphases in original):

"You are a being of infinite, glorious possibility. You are a being of Infinity - you just need to remember that.  And as a being of Infinity, as a being of glorious infinite possibility, you create.  You create worlds...you create solar systems...you create universes...you create glorious, glorious scenarios...and you can still do that now.

"You need to do that now to cleanse this region, to change this region and to bring finally peace on Earth, forever and ever."

Via our, and its, Ascension, out of the Field of The Fall.

All by way of saying that we need to stop selling ourselves short.  As in thinking of ourselves as poor miserable sinners.  Changing our tune to reflect our potential.

As the Christian denomination some of whose adherents I am living amongst now - the Mormons - implies, in its belief that 'As Man is, God once was; and as God is, Man may become'.  Since we are fractals of our Creator Source.

Sometimes, some belief systems that are not totally correct can get some things right.

Discernment, folks.  Practice discernment.   And we will 'get there'.

Because it's in our DNA.

And further.
