Since 1989, when I did my second pilgrimage, I discovered the feminine face of God. But for most religions, God is a man.
I believe that God has a masculina and a feminine face, rigor and compassion. So, I’d like to hear your opinion on The Feminine Face of God, or The Goddess.
Thank you!
Paulo

Human can go against the inner world’s path through a gestation period.
A gestation period is the time to return to a flowing River, the source of conciousness.
After the gestation period is finished by cutting the navel string, a child is born with the Light from the mother.
To me, the pregnancy period from a white veil was about 1155 days.
I could watch the world partly from when the white veil came down from the air of my consciousness, and I could go forward my inside’s light little by little.
As soon as the light blew up from my chest and I felt a ray from the crown of the head(But I don’t remember the order between my chest’s light and the crown of the head’s light exactly. Because of instant like the speed of light), I watched stories like a movie, and then the gathered stories now became flowing like a crystalline water, calmly flowing a River of the Truth.
After the ceremony of Light finished, I changed like an another person completely.
thank you Supia for sharing a beautiful experience.
beautiful, indeed…
love
Chieko!
There is faminine face and msculine face within an indivisul.
A woman worrior with a bow and arrows is walking on Earth Mother where is floating air of love.
Earth Mother always provides the power of healing with tender rain.
The woman warrior may be you, me and us all.
Dios es homre y mujer, en los momentos en donde necesitamos a una confidente, es nuestra amiga, en los momentos en donde necesitamos a alguien que nos proteja y nos consuele solo como un hombre lo sabe hacer, es hombre, todo conlleba a las necesidades de las personas, si nosotros lo o la necesitamos ahi estara a nuestro lado para cuando deseemos, siempre nos escucha, y asi es, se transformara o será lo que nosotros deseemos.
Hoy yo estuve hablando un tiempo con Dios mujer, por que necesitaba contarle todo lo que hice en un viaje a otra ciudad, como extrañaba a ese amor que me esperaba en el trabajo, y que iba a hacer al volverlo a ver, pero ayer estuve hablando con Dios hombre, pidiendole un poco de sabiduria para entender a los hombres y otras veces para que me protegiera solo como el lo saber hacer, no como un padre a su hijo, si no como un hombre a una mujer.
espero me haya explicado bien, gracias por su tiempo.
saludos y gracias por ser usted y hacer lo que hace.
Dear Master Paulo,
Even though I have a jewish background,I have NEVER been able to accept God as a being.It(I repeat:IT!) has always been something that mankind cannot put into words.Man has tried to negociate with his own kind to try and find a way of explaining the power of Creation.Like the kabalists have always known,The Creator has no sex.It can have no sex,for It created sexes.And It’s presence can be felt when a new being created.Fertilization is the union of yin and yang,symbolizing both polarities of the Universe.It is a repetition of what God is:masculine and feminine CREATING ONENESS…
In Light,Love and Health!
Hi Everyone,
Hi Paolo,
Thanks to share with us your deepest feelings and thinkings !!
I just discovered you for a few days with “The alchimist” and now i can no more stop reading you !! Helpppp ! hahaha
About the subject concerning the feminine face of God, i think that God is feminine and masculine for the simple reason that each one of us is God. God, as the devil, are in us and not above (or under)us.Each day we are the heaven or the hell for the people around us.
But it’s so comfortable to blame someone else for our problems.
Could we live by knowing that we are the only responsable of our lives ? (Pourrions-nous vivre en sachant que nous sommes les seuls responsables de nos vies ??).
By the way, if God really existed, he already stopped this great mess !!!
Warmest regards to you from Agnès from France.
You can speak about GOD in many ways, but I believe He is masculine. I always talk to Him and He always answers me in many ways. It´s interesting how He answers me. When I read BRIDA I understand that he could be feminine too, but He never talks to me in a femaile voice or in a femaile way.
Thats it.
This maybe because since you are born, you were taught that God is he…
God as Father, Mother & Child as the disciple Thomas saw it;
‘So often Jesus sees in infants and little children the perfect models of the Eden consciousness. These infants are nursing at their mother’s breasts. They do not yet really understand their reality as separate from that of their mothers. How like the greatest mystics and saints. All their food comes from the Divine Mother and they do not operate out of dualistic consciousness, they do not see themselves as separate from the god who nurtures them, the God who is as close as the mother’s breast, the God who is their own deepest reality. This is the positive side of being childlike, a quality of true adults. Being childish or infantile, however, is what characterizes those who are not spiritually mature…
…If we are infants will we enter the Kingdom? Jesus responded: When you make the two into one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the upper like the lower, and thus make the male and the female the same, so that the male isn’t male and the female isn’t female…
…Jesus speaks of an image replacing an image. The image of men and women as competitors for power, one being dominated by the other, one being a sex object for the other – all of this belongs to the superficial world that does not embody God’s reign. We must return to the original androgynous image, our shared humanness, to live together as a community manifesting God’s reign. It is in this sense that one image replaces another.’
(from ‘The Gospel of Thomas by Ron miller’)
Thanks Heart, I really love that saying of Jesus, it reminds me of soulmates.

Thank you Heart BFF. These lines, you wrote for us are going into the core of life and LIGHT.
‘When you make the two into one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the upper like the lower, and thus make the male and the female the same, so that the male isn’t male and the female isn’t female…’
The zero point into ourselves. The unison of the cosmos of the phenomena and the spiritual cosmos. To bridge the chasm between the material world and the spiritual by .. transcending ourselves and with Enlightenment to find the Truth: LOVE and Light.
LOVE,

Dear, Thelma!
I liked your voice on the video.
Your words is as if…
This line was surspised to me. “when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside”.
Your words is the same thing with my experienced world.
Hello, Dear Paulo! Hello to all people!
I’m from Orenburg in Russia. I’ve already read 9 books of yours. I like them very much. Thank you so much for all of these writings!
I had been thinking about the feminine face of God for a long time. I think that every human consists of two essences – feminine and female, as so as our God does.
Two years ago I’ve read a book of Russian writer Daniel Andreev “The Rose of Peace” (or maybe “The Rose of The World”). He also wrote about the feminine face of God. He presented Trinity not as “God-father, God-son and God-saint spirit” but as “God-father, God-son and God-mother” because The Saint Spirit is The Father. I believe in it! And I pray to this trinity.
All religions are patriarchal and they don’t pay attention to the feminine essence of God. To my mind it’s not right. Churches all over the world include false convictions. And they need progress and to be reformed. Daniel Andreev considered that it is necessary to unite the basic churches to one – The Rose of Peace. It’ll include right convictions of all religions and will bring something new as the feminine face of God. I believe in The Rose of Peace!
P.S. Two years I wanted to ask you a question, Paulo, and now I’ll do it. Did you read The Rose of Peace? If no, then read, please. If yes, then I’d like to know your opinion and attitude. It’s necessary for me because you’re very wise man. Forgive me for this request. It was insolence from me.
P.S.S. Dear people write me a letter, please, if you know something about The Rose of Peace. I’ll wait for it at address: luybusic@mail.ru, gordeevalubov31do@yandex.ru
Sorry for my English!
Thank for your comfortable Enlish!
Hi, Lyubov!
I think Trinity is just classification’s problem for human’s words.
Human can go forward the world of God.
Father, Son, Holy Spirit from a Woman(or an indivisual) can be achieved.
Three within an indivisual. Then, a misterious power is awaken.
When an indivisual can hold the Holy Spirit, that person can just feel by using not body’s eyes but forhead’s one eye. That was another sense, not five sense.
Bible writes about a progressins order toward world of the Light.
World of the Light is only God’s world without a darkness.
I think it would be possible to solve a secret of God’s book only by experience.
Bible’s drama is happening in human’s inner world.
I wonder on what the author mentions about the bible.
All religions as well as churches come from the same source.
So, world is a huge garden under the Universal Hand.
COLORFUL FLOWERS make more beautiful garden in our world.
Hinduism is one of the oldest religions, ir embraces the feminine face of God! Why did the western religions relegate women to that of a second class citizen, no longer equal to men, not the same as men, but equal to men. Why did western religion no longer honor the feminine gifts to society, to the advancement of civilization. In reading the comments what strikes me is that most people do and can differentiate feminine and masculine, yin and yang, was the feminine face of God kept hidden, protected in a way because western “man” wasn’t ready? I always hear, the father, son and the holy ghost, so it is brainwashing, there’s no mention of the mother or daughter, no mention of the feminine. History I believe holds many answers, how man manipulated and why, that’s what’s fascinating, what we can take and learn from in the present by looking at the past. Why is our masculine society afraid of the feminine? Is mans aggresive nature not willing to fight for the end of war?
Hey, if men would rid themselves of war there wouldn’t be any boy toys for them to play with. Oops, I forgot about us. Maybe we the earthly Goddesses should be like the ladies in the Greek play “Lysestrada” (sorry for the spelling) Where the men were denied sex until the warring stops. hee hee hee
As both men and women are created by GOD ..I think GOD should neither be a man or women .. While both of them carry some hidden secrets of GOD ..Part of God vision .. still , they are not complete .. they part of the truth ..but not the whole truth
I have a question …… to truly believe and be spiritually attuned do we need accept both faces completely ??? I would prefer callin it “The one” coz world has turned god into the masculine representative of the deity ( or maybe thats wat it is ) . So if I believe in the goddess whole-heartedly , while also believing in the existence of themasculine side thou not focusing on him completely , would it be fair ???
Good day everyone,
just don´t know the feminine face of God.
but i know i trust joy, joy changes..
joy is at the bottom of the heart.
love to you & all,
doris

Thank you, Doris.
Hi Paolo,
Thank you so much for all of these inspiring writings!
I am just a one-week old WOL-subscriber – thanks to a blog written by a Filipina. She gave her readers a link to one of your articles. Since then I have been reading the past issues voraciously. They are very inspiring writings indeed. You’re God’s gift to all of us – your avid readers!
Yes, I’ve got several books of yours and the last one I bought was Eleven Minutes and The Winner Stands Alone is on my shopping list.
Well, about “the feminine face of God” – when I pray or talk to God, I visualize a loving, caring and compassionate face of a wise “old” father.
I believe that my favourite prayer – Our Father – and the early religious teachings, which I’ve received from my dear parents and the church, gave me an image of a God not of a Goddess.
However, I also believe that HE has a feminine face or character. Like a female best friend, SHE is always there to listen to my never-ending stories of the ups and downs in my life.
Like a doting mother, SHE never gets tired reminding me to stay away from danger…take care of myself and others…be a loving daughter and wife…count my blessings and nurture my dream. Also, SHE constantly picks me up when I stumble.
Like a trustworthy and fun-loving sister, SHE could keep secrets and be the first person to console me when things go wrong.
Well, I’m truly grateful for moments like these- “seeing and touching” God’s feminine face.
Have a nice day!
Until then
Tez

I will try to let you do what you want to do
when i think of god i think of mother nature. i often refer to the good mother, mother being creator, man does not give birht to new life, but it is a balsnce, it is both man and woman that create life, the feminine face of god is in nature is everywhere, not in the bibles and holy books but everywhere, she is in the seasons, changing and giving birth anew each year, feminine, the good mother, mother nature, god
I feel the God to have feminine aspect,when I find Her so compassionate, caring and She is so occupied in my mind like the picture of one’s mum,sister or GF.
Hola Paulo:
Quisiera saber el motivo por el cual piensas que Dios tiene un lado Masculino y un lado Femenino…Ya que yo no me imagino a Dios como una Diosa. Realmente me intriga tu pregunta y me gustaría saber la experiencia que te permite pensar de tal forma.
The masculine and feminine face of god is so obvious. There are masculine and feminine qualities in everything on this earth. Even human beings have both masculine and feminine hormones. If we are the image of God, then this means, God is both feminine and masculine. From the sun and the moon to the ocean and the land, trees and flowers, yin and yang, woman and man…masculine and feminine qualities appear everywhere. They need each other to live. God is definitely both! Our minds have been so conditioned as to what God is, that we find it hard to accept this. But, I believe it’s true as well. And yet, when I pray – I still say “dearest father”…unless I’m taking some time for Yemaya and me. :)
Prezado Paulo Coelho;
Hoje sei que Deus sempre esteve em cada um de nós ainda que não o soubéssemos;e sua maxima grandeza está em intrigantes constatações de como ELE se nos opera.De como ELE vai apontando sem nos antever nada.A percepção que se desencadeia disso é inenarrável,maravilhante,encabulante.E é claro que uma capacitação desta natureza só pode estar além de qualquer gênero.Ele é e será sempre a parte mansa e regeneradora que se adequa mais ao que se mostra em “suavidades intemperanças”.Em nossa natureza temos apenas que sabe-lo presente e atuante.Por isso ELE é FEMININO no Masculino e no Feminino.FINAL ELE não vem abraçando a natureza com a mesma identidade que se nos revela?
Bom seria se a humanidade saisse das palavras e entrasse nos significados.
Sem mais,Exalto-O em ti.
Rita A.Moralles.
Como você mesmo citou,Paulo, a maioria o vê como um homem. É até um pouco inquietante para mim imaginá-lo como uma mulher. Mas por que não? Tudo é possível. Depois que passei a acreditar nas forças do universo e no espiritismo acredito realmente que seja uma força maior sem sexo.
Retificando: Depois que passei a acreditar nas Forças do Universo e espiritismo acredito realmente que seja uma força maior sem sexo.
the concept of MAN GOD come from semitic rligions.
in INDIA GODDESS are more than GOD
Being a Hindu i would like to correct you. Hindus worship Lord Shiva (amongst other Gods), who is also called ArdhaNari (half man – Shiva, half woman – Parvati)
There are sects within hinduism that worship the feminine side more and there are those like me who worship God as both man & woman at the same time.
It is said the the male side is conscious but dormant, and the female side is subconscious but active, Just like the left and right side of our brain.
Reading through some of the comments here I must remark on the question of where we come from. Scientists are beginning to prove that we are in fact made up of Star Dust.
Dear, Kealan
I too didn’t believe God’s existence because I didn’t experience God. But now I know God really exists because I hear the voice during last a year.
Beyond the world of right or wrong,
Beyond visible world,
there is an invisible world like a real world.
While I live within the Light, I thought that “THIS PLACE’S SECRET WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND OUT EASILY.”
Because invisible world is spirit’s world, only experienced persons will know the secret.
Science is connected with material world.
This spirit’s world exists in upper world than science.
That sounds quite exotic, I think I like to think that I am part Space Dust….
Thanks
Yes I think it could be Kealan,it could really well be.
I do agree that there is an invisible world as the real world like you say Supia but we are all a part of God and science is SO important too.It’s all connected somehow it’s all connected as long as nothing involves money.some were made to be atlete,others to be poet and some to be scientific,all facets of God and all important.
Hi, candieb
That’s right! All IS IMPORTANT including science serving to comfort for our life and evidence unknown misterious world as material. But we need to know that science has roles to manifest the present appearing phenomenon.
That is to say, I think science can´t keep up with the phenomenon yet.
As if human drunk water even without perception on the water’s the chemical symbol for element, H2O.
I do wish that science will be able to manifest human inside’s love energy like H2O.
As you say, we all are unique existence as evidence of God. All is one, one is all.
I’m just saying that most of our bodies are made up of carbon which comes from the sun in the form of stardust! I still think that it is amazing that we are here in this very fragile universe. The fact that we live and breath is an act of God; I believe in a Godly power and spirituality…We are all part of something much bigger than we imagine…. But if we can change the face of God and the way we think about God can we not change the way we thing about life after death in a scientific way, or change the way we look at spirituality?
Hi, Kealan
I can’t say about life after death, but I can say world of the Light which we are possible to go while living a life on the earth.
I felt that my thinking from head, my changing heart continously and my peaceful source compeletly(spirit’s world) there.
Three worlds was contained three different types.
I heard the voice in my peaceful source during last year.
The voice gave a conviction to me.
God is the only one goodness itself, a quiet joy itself, love itself, perfect peace itself and fullness itself.
When we starts to gaze at inner world, we will realize that
all mysterys uner the sun exists in you.
That was not a place to buy with materials.
I know the reason was why I’m not a special person but gazing at my inner world.
Then, we can awake.
The Goddess speaks in strange ways: “no peace, no sex.” The following PBS documentary, to me, represents the Goddess energy manifest and in action in the world today. It is not a story about religion, per se, nor about about worship of the Goddess, but about women stepping forth to demand and end to war, to demand that the feminine perspective be heard.

quite an “unconventional war” Thanks Savita :)
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I see this news but I forget.
Thank you very much, was a good idea.
what a good description og god, of universe, for knowing our self and god better, masculine/feminine!
usually, my inside feeling of myself is not a female (or male), but my outside identity is female. As I feel god inside,so I do not imagine him as male or female, there is no need.
but in moments of frustration and extreme disappointment with outside situations, when I do not receive an instant reply, I cry in despair and say oh god you must be a man, otherwise you answered me! …. then something happens I think …..
I heard something from the Holy voice.
When I asked(Till then, I think that the Light was enlightenment’s phenomena. But whenever I wrote something, someone said to me with a tone of command.)
Very very strange!
I couldn’t know from where the source of voice.
The very day’s diary was about the voice.
I wrote “My inside’s voice is changed. But I really don’t know from where the source of voice.”
So, I went to the bookshop and read about “ENLIGHTENMENT.” because I thought one of enlightenment’s phenomena.
The book said, “Ask who are you?”
So, as soon as I came back home I asked,
“Who are you?”
Then, very surprising thing happened.
Holy Man’s voice really replied to me,
“I am your God.” It was very loud man’s holy voice.
“Yeah? You are God? I don’t believe God.(till then, I didn’t believe God’s existence) Who are you?”
“I am your God”. with very holy man’s voice loudly.
While surprised after a moment, the holy voice said to me,
“You are born from me so you are my child.”(Of course, speaking in Korean)
(“너는 내게서 낳느니, 너는 나의 자녀이니라.”)
The dialogue was continued but I want the contents to keep on secreting yet.).
.
.
.
And in the next early morning the holy voice said, “You are born from me so I am your father.”
(“너는 내게서 낳느니, 내가 너의 아버지이니라.”
(The voice was continued but I want the contents to keep on secreting yet.)
I’ve never heard such words till then, but now I know the words exists in God’s Book.
dear Supia
thank you for sharing your story.
it made me get goosebumps again since i had similar experience before.
i am not sure if we are talking about the same god (i mean i do not even know how many gods there are) but i once heard a very powerful god’s voice, too. it was very brief though. he whispered to my right ear. (kind of sexy way) so i sometimes feel some being at my right side. it could only be my imagination but i want to believe he is with me all the time.
anyway, back to your story, it is kind of cool to have a conversation with supernatural. and also kind of sweet of him to remind you that you are child of his:) maybe he was like ‘do not forget me! well, if you do not mind, could you share the rest of the story a bit more?
anyway, thank you again.
love + blessing!
chieko
Dear, chieko
Sexy way?! If you heard, it would be real. Now I believe God’s existence because I saw, heard and felt.
Not your mentioned such words, but as a result, I can’t forget Him.
It was a kind of a revelation of God, that was like a tool, glory’s my next seat(right seat? left seat? I don’t remember. Anyway the voice said which seat) etc.
Sometime, I’ll say.(I don’t know well whether I have to say it now because it seems like unbelievable. But it’s true.)
Than that, there were messages from the world.
The conversation didn’t need to human’s words. I didn’t know the voice’s source. My head? or My chest? But, I heard the voice from where. I cannot know it at all.
Human is a nationality but God has not a nationality.
Religions come from the same source.

I think, the feminine face of God exists to “complete” the purpose of God’s presence.
In India, people worship multiple Goddesses as well as multiple Gods. Speaking of the Goddess in India, people refer to her as “Devi Maa” and the Indian mythology has thousands of stories and songs of the Goddesses and their glories.
Perhaps, the creators of the ancient literature thought it essential to represent God in both the masculine and the feminine forms so as to give humanity the fullest possible sense of being “looked after” – just how a child would feel under the care of both parents.
dear Mr. coelho
i’m not so fluent in english so i’ll use indonesian
saya senang akan tulisan anda karena tulisan anda telah memberi semangat dan inspirasi bagi banyak orang di indonesia terutama bagi saya dan anak2 didik saya di bina iman remaja katolik di Bandung… menurut saya Tuhan memang mempunyai 2 sisi, sisi feminim dan maskulin karena dia adalah kuasa dan sekaligus sebagai yang maha pemurah… sisi feminim Tuhan dapat kita temukan pada saat kita jatuh dan putus asa, ketika itu ia akan datang dan memberikan kehangatan dan ketenangan seperti seorang ibu yang menenangkan anaknya, sisi Tuhan yang maskulin dapat kita lihat juga dalam orang-orang disekitar kita yang menegur dan memperbaiki kita pada saat kita berbuat salah dan sembrono.
trima kasih sekali lagi untuk inspirasi yang anda berikan, kami disini berharap anda bisa datang ke Indonesia untuk melihat kekayaan alam dan budaya dan merasakan indahnya hidup dalam keaneka ragaman di Indonesia. trima kasih Mr. Coelho sekali lagi Terima Kasih.
Tuhan menyertai…

Everyone is right,everyone is wrong,nobody is right and nobody is wrong.Right and wrong aren’t.Nobody can answer the fundamental questions,we will know when we cross over.Everyone has their own truth and perhaps will we be able to chose the place we want to rest eternally?Who knows?We shall see.And after all it’s all a matter of perception and interpretation.
Since the dawn of humanity people were looking up to the sky and wondered: From where do we come, where we go, what is LIFE. They have given names to the Mysteries that they could not understand or were afraid of .. THUNDER, RAIN, SUN and worshiped them as GODS.. Their fear for Death and loss was predominant. This fear is still here. It shadows all our actions and life seems a ‘vain’ venture with the knowledge of the over-hanging End/Death. The inability to give answers to these fundamentals questions have created in us the need of putting an Order into Disorder to think that there is a Plan, a Creator and that DEATH is not the END. God or a Goddess I think is .. irrelevant ..
‘At the beginning there was the LOGOS.. {JOHN Chapter A] =
Εν αρχή ήν ο Λόγος, και ο Λόγος ήν προς τον Θεόν, και Θεός ήν ο Λόγος. Etc.
Everything is Mind. The World of Ideas. Then the Manifestation of Ideas and the Descend of Man/Woman into the Worlds of separation. I think that since we are ‘created’ like the ‘image and like’ of God, as above so below, we are ‘εν δυνάμει’ [=in power to be..] Gods. The difference of being a Man /Woman [Adam/ Eve] was in the Descent. God is not a male not a female. Neither .. positive nor negative. Angels do not have gender/sex. So is our … Angelic part.. ;-] The division and sex have started in order to .. reproduction to take place. Nature is … FEMALE, for me! She is the one that rules the material reproduction, the MOTHER, THE WIFE, THE LOVER, ISIS.
PANAYIA, in Orthodox church is Maria the Saint of Saints, the … Πλατυτέρα τών Ουρανών[=Widest than Heavens], The MOTHER of CHIRST, who is the Light that gives light to every person coming into the World.
I really do not think GOD as a male or female. In my inner dialogue, or … silence and prayer, I ‘know’ HE/SHE is there in me and me in HIM/HER. In the whole, the circle, the A and OMEGA, the start and the end. I .. surrender to HIS/HER love and power and I feel that I am a drop in the Ocean. I am sure that there is a Divine Plan that gives … meaning to everything. The meaning to be transformed into pure Spirit and become once again the LIGHT, beautiful eternal creatures of LOVE. The past, the present, the future, in the .. divine part of us is … ONE; The transcendence of our mortal self gives us the .. POWER to ‘know ourselves’ and become the ‘in power’ divine self.
LOVE,

Dear Paulo,
The Goddess is the voice of Reason. Through out history man has suppressed and controlled the feminine spirit of the Goddess for fear of her wisdom and power. For fear the people might get that you are not supposed to do unjust things, man shut the Goddess and her wise voice down, mostly in the name of religion. But…The Goddess is alive and well in all of our instincts. We need to turn off the computer, t.v and and blinding distractions and embrace nature and the magic of the God and the Goddess within- for our children -so that they can regain the truth and lost respect for womankind.
Thanks Deb, I really like what you have said,
Thank you
The Holy voice was holy man’s voice. I’ve never heard such a holy voice.
I have.
Hi, Hope
Thanks for your reply.
I wonder what you have.
Voice? or something?
Hi, Paula
I have not expected of God-like, but I heard man’s holy voice. If you really heard masculine voice, that would be real.
I can never suspect the holy MAN’s voice.
So loud! So holy! With the Light!
Namaste Supia,
I believe that the Divine uses our perception and expectations when making Herself known. If we expect Him we shall hear Him. If we expect Her, we hear Her. I’ve also read from those who’ve heard a Harmonious Voice which sounded like several voices, Male and Female united. It’s the message, not the medium which matters to me.
Love to you
Suddenly I wonder on the book’s title you read.
What does “namaste” mean, Elaine?
If someone heard the Harmonious voice, it would be true to oneself.
I too know a metaphysician he heard faminine’s voice.
He maybe expect the voice. But I’ve never expected voice or divine itself. Nevertheless, the surprising voice and light’s phenomenan happened.
I just asked to myself over and over “Who’s right?”, “Why?” while I breed my children. That was suffering. Because I thought that I’m always right before breeding my childern. But, whenever several problems happened I always thought the problem “Who’s right?” “Why?”
That’s all. Of course, before enlightenment the gestation of consciousness started from the white veil.
Namaste, Elaine.
There was a kind of vision with the Light.
Right! All is right!
The main message is :
“All things under the sun head for oneself’s perfection. All things happening in the world is connected with fear. Between the truth and fear occur in harmony and inharmony.”
(A little bad in English?)I’d like to write in my mother tongue.
“세상 만물은 그 완전함을 지향한다.”
세상에서 일어나는 모든 일은 이 한 가지 진실과 그 진실에 연관된 또 다른 실체 없는 괴물 사이에서 일어나는 조화와 부조화의 현상들이다.
완전함을 지향하기 위해서는 안개를 헤치고 나아가듯 두려움을 걷어 내야 한다. 존재하는 모든 부정적인 감정들은 오로지 이 한 가지에서 출발한다는 건 놀랍다.
매순간 우리는 선택할 수 있다.
자신의 완전함을 지향할지, 두려움을 선택할지는 각자의 몫이다. 마음은 분열을 원하지 않는다.
완전함을 지향하기 위해서는 조화로움 속에서 있어야 한다.
조화로움 속에 있기 위해서는 최고의 선 위에서만 가능하다.
미생물이나 사물에서부터 인간에 이르기까지 그 속엔 하나의 우주가 있다.
최고의 선이란 저마다의 우주적 존재를 존재 자체로 존중하는 것이다.
존중이라는 건 믿음에서 나온다.
이 숲에서 개인은 우뚝 선 개개의 나무로 서 있다.
서로의 존재를 해하지 않는다.
음향이 울려 퍼진다. 음향은 섞일 수 있을 뿐.
완전함을 지향하기 위해서는 자기가 진정 원하는 것이 무엇인지 아는 것,
자아의 모습을 되살리는 것… 이것이 최우선 되어야 한다.
믿음이 무엇인지, 성실이 무엇인지 여러 가지 가치 체계들에 대한 이미지가 전개되었고 모든 이야기가 끝나갈 무렵,
맨마지막 이미지는 에 대한 것이었습니다.
스스로 자처해서 고립되어 있는 사람에게는 굳이 손을 내밀지 않아도 되지만, 그 곳이 어느 곳이든, 각자 자신이 서 있는 범위 내에서 우리 모두가 넘어져 있는 사람에게, 슬픔 속에서 사랑을 기다리며, 사랑을 원하고, 사랑이 필요한 사람에게, 사랑의 손을 내밀어 잡아주라는 메시지였습니다. 그리고 이 모든 것을 감싸는 것은 바로 사랑이었습니다.
This is voice of the Light
Floating atomosphere of universe,
the whole energy state is Love!
Universe is love!
That is :
Speak your own truth.
And then, live your life following your truth.
After sweep away a mist of fear,
speak your own truth,
and then follow your own truth!
Heart is a breeze’s place.
Breeze which come and go around there!
No one of them will be able not to stay long on your heart if ghost images to you.
After River of the Truth flew, memory of the FIRST DAY vividly remains inside me with my diary.
God has the ability “TO FEEL LIKE A CHILD.”
At the first day I met a plant, a taxi driver.
When I was passing by a restaurant, something seemed to talk to me.
As a gardener, I knew the Sansevieria in front of the restaurant would die. The sansevieria was transmitted to my feeling. The feeling was like a mind of newborn baby, not exaggeration. I thought that I talked with the plant. I tried to talk to the restaurant’s owner but he was very busy with so many peoples.
And the Light feels more severe heartache when watching SORROW something because the mind is more SENSITIVE.
The air is warm, bright.
Sensitive and Compassion leads to practice of LOVE.
I think PRACTIVE OF LOVE is connected with MOTHER’S LOVE and faminine side of God.
The Light has “FREE WILL”.
“FREE WILL” is the ability of saying YES or NO.
The ability of the controlling, advancing is connected with masculine side of God, a vigor or firm.
I think I used my masculine side when I met a taxi driver.
So our world needs LOVE, faminine side of God as the whole air and masculine side as power advancing toward oneself’s dream.
The Light means “PERFECTION”.
God has a faminine side and a masculine side.
Love is human’s strings.
I’m smiling…this is beautiful. Thank you Bernd : )
I wouldn’t worry so much about whether God has a masculine or feminine face but more on how men and women view and treat eachother.
I’m afraid that the two are intrinsically connected. We cannot have the full equality of women without the recognition of the feminine face of God. So long as woman comes last in the cosmic order – a sort of afterthought on God’s part, created from Adam’s rib, in order to serve his needs – so too will the rights and needs of women be treated as a sort of afterthought in the structure of our society.
So True!
categarization is a human way of living,, God is God and there is no need to think about gender issues,, believing in God oneness is the vital thing and regardless of the way we think God (Allah) is capable of doing everything
Yes Keith, it is as simple as that. Be still within yourself and say ‘god is’, without expecting any answer. God is stillness. However, something can be said about femininity and women overall. I think that overall women are more connected with their own body’s. They are more capable of sensing their own divinity – their inner body – then men. I think that is why there is a great humility for women in ancient cultures.

Cher Paulo, je crois que Dieu porte la couleur de chacun homme ou femme.Dieu est l’esprit qui nous habite. Je suis femme donc partie féminine de Dieu. Tu es homme donc partie masculine de Dieu.
J’ai relu ton livre aujourd’hui Le Zahir.
J’avais besoin de lire sur les signes et les rêves. Tu me ramènes à mes rêves. Tu as ce don de nous aider à connecter avec notre essence. À ce moment tu représentes une partie masculine de Dieu qui me parles. J’ai fait St-Jacques l’an dernier et j’ai savouré chaque instant où je me suis laissée guider par mon intuition.
Les momets où je n’avais d’autres certitudes que celle que j’aurais la meileure place pour moi, où dormir entouré de pélerins comme moi.
À ce moment j’étais brancé sur Dieu en moi. Dieu pour moi signifie confiance , assurance d’être aimée et guidée vers le meilleur de moi.
A face feminina é como a masculina.
Nao deve haver surpresa com qualquer delas.
Vista como feminina é como uma flor: tem forma única e envolvente, inspira sensações de amor, bem estar, conforto…A masculina inspira poder, força e bondade. Depende de quem ve!
Deus é uma energia criadora, que pode ser vista em tudo, sob qualquer forma
A frangrancia do Supremo (Shiva) que transborda na manifestação é a propria Deusa (Mater = materia) Maria, Maya… Ma Durga, a Shakti primordial.
Poderiamos afirmar que toda a criação seja a face feminina de Deus?
Não sei… mas acho que sim.

God is. God is neither male nor female. We attempt to know the unknowable, think the unthinkable, make finite what is infinite.
A cell consists of the component parts, these make the cell, the cell provides the environment for the component parts. Our bodies consists of many systems, these systems maintain the body, the body defines their existence. An ecosystem is made up of its various parts, the ecosystems provides the environment for their existence. Gaia, the living systems, the geophysical processes, maintain and stabilise the environment suitable for life on earth.
Christianity has had difficulty understanding this relationship.

God did not create creation, God is creation. Our thoughts, the consciousness of everything around us, is God.
Ancient religions tend towards the feminine. The Temple of Aphrodite on the Greek island of Cyprus.
http://www.heureka.clara.net/cyprus/index.htm
The Hymn to Isis venerates the female.
http://www.heureka.clara.net/art/hymn-to-isis.htm
Jesus had a feminine side, or what we attribute as feminine characteristics. One of his key disciples was Mary Magdalene. When the men deserted him, the women remained at his side.
When Detelina Petkova gave us the Warrior of Light, the warrior was neither male nor female.

How we view a religion and thus God is through the norms of society, religion then fossilises those norms. The authoritarian, rigid male hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. The abuse of women by fundamentalist Islam.
The feminine side of religion, of a Mother God, are themes Paulo Coelho explores in Brida, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept and The Witch of Portobello and during conversations he had with Juan Arias.

To portray a feminine side, is to readdress 2,000 years of prejudice and bigotry, but it is not what God is. God is.

Hi keith !
good post !
u know where the problem starts, it starts when a cell of your body is hell bent upon ‘defining’ you, part cannot define the whole. we try to see god as male or female. once there was an interesting discussion between a horse and a monkey, both were damn sure that god is a horse and a monkey respectively. good that they did not get into gender issue. our whole attempt to ‘know’ to define god has no better merit than the debate between that monkey and horse.
to ‘know’ god, one will have to drop mind, drop words, become just like a mirror, refelcting everything without prejudice, without judgement. then we are pure consiousness, or rather the pure consiousness in us surfaces then. that pure consiousness is the gateway to ….

PS : about masculine and feminine face of god, till there are ‘idiots’ who insist that god is a male , and not stop at just that. taking this wrong pretext, prejudice, they and with them the society at large remains unfair to fairer sex, till then this sort of discussion / debate is needed, for betterment not just of the fairer sex, but the society at large. and lest paula gets angry, let me say these are my views, my considered opinion and like any other opinion there is a room for improvement, always.
With much of what you say, I agree, but as infinite as God is, in the deep personal interaction between human beings and the Divine, this infinite God has the capacity to appear to an individual in a very finite and definite form. Nor do I think that God is so ethereal or unknowable that this is impossible. I believe that it is quite possible for the Divine – this otherwise infinite being – to take on a very solid form in order to make its presence known to an individual. I don’t think this happens very often, but it can happen, and when it does, yes, God can appear as either a man OR a woman, male OR female, seldom as some hermaphroditic version of the two mixed together or as some unsexed entity having the features of neither.
God IS infinite, but when God chooses to appear to human beings it is often in a very specific form – either masculine or feminine. This, at least, is my view on the subject. You can talk about God all day in the abstract, but knowing God, for some people, is not an abstract experience. Thus, to speak of the masculine or the feminine face of God is not merely a theoretical exercise – it is an expression based on experience.
Namaste,
Forgive me if I play with this concept a bit. I learn what I truly believe by exploring a concept which bother me. Although I will never disagree with your faith, I do disagree with your logic. To me God is logical, so all concepts about the Divine should follow Logic.
You say “To portray a feminine side, is to readdress 2,000 years of prejudice and bigotry, but it is not what God is. God is.”
In Hebrew Yod Heh Vav Hah is commonly interpreted as I am as I am, although I have read that the Hebrew name is actually future tense… I Will Be as I Will Be. Since Yod Heh Vav Heh was originally a God of war, I tend to follow the idea of future tense. In war we are who we become based upon our battles… which I assume is the concept behind Warriors of Light.
If God Is, and God is Creator, then I look at Creation to see what God is. If humanity (but I stretch it to all Creation)reflects What Is, aka the Divine as the Hebrews taught, then God must be Male and Female. It’s not about altering the prejudice and bigotry, although those are pluses to this recognition, but on seeing the Divine as the Divine reflects Herself within Creation.
It is through art that we learn who the artist is. Creation is God’s Art, thus we learn who God is through studying Creation. This is fundamental to life forms rising up the evolutionary scale.
It is only through the union of opposites that Creation evolves. If God is, then God must have a Feminine face.
Please help me out if my logic is flawed here. I love to learn. :-)
Love to you
It’s been a year and a half I’ve been struggling hard with God.After seven years of loving a man too deeply,he left without giving me a good reason.Ever since I’ve been praying and crying and urging God to bring him back,cause I did EVERY thing to do so,but he was harsh,cold-hearted and too stubborn,so I went to God asking him for a miracle in my man’s heart to bring the love light back to his heart again.I can’t say how many night I cried till morning and God never listened.He just didn’t give me a glance!So here I go Paulo,to me God is a man who has no feeling for a heart-broken woman and her non-stop tears,he’s a man who approves all other men who are heart breakers and let’s them get away with it so easily,he’s a man who has created the man to be so selfish to let himself play with 7 years of the life of a sensitive loving lady who waited for long and said no to so many opportunities to stay with her man!To me, God is a cruel man who scores the men on earth every time they succeed in stealing an innocent heart and playing with it and then throwing it under their feet.To me,God is only a man who feels nothing of all the pain and loneliness and sorrow that’s burning every single moment of my life and he enjoys filling my chest with the regrets of all the love I gave and got nothing in return.
I once thought God was cruel too….I went to prison for two and a half years for a man that I loved more than myself. I thought my value came from loving a man. That made me good, that gave me value. I was a good wife so much I would go to prison, only to be left their by this man. I was very bitter, and I hated god that I had to go to prison. I wrestle still with God for having my freedom taken. I have been out of prison for 6 years and have accomplished alot with my education, my hobbies and my starting career. What I found in the lesson of having my man, my freedom, my digniaty, and self worth stripped from me as people mocked me…….
What did I get out of this life lesson….God has allowed me to create a new life. One that is even better than I could have imagined. God allowed me to meet myself and learn how strong I am, how smart I really am, and how the universe is really saying, “ya go for it! do it you can do it!”
I learned that the universe allows me to decide what my life will look like.
It is not easy and there are days when I curse God because it is so hard. I curse because it so hard, but on the other side of tears of sweat I find self esteem and self esteem truely comes from within. I found that my value comes when I push a little harder to make myself the best possible version that God has for me and it is good.
Today – I am so thankful that I was left by my man, my world,etc. etc. because today I have created my own universe…just me and God… and it is GOOD.
Wow Mariam, those are some harsh words about God. Perhaps you should spend your time loving yourself instead of needing a ‘man’ to make you whole. Find someone who is worthy of your love, perhaps that is why God did not answer your prayrers – becuase this man you “love” is not the man meant for you. If he was, he would never have left you. You are just bitter and angry – rightfully so – and you need to blame somoene so that someone for you is God. There are reasons some prayers are not answered, it is time for you to dig deep and see in yourself what that reason is.
To blame God for your love troubles is not right. God is about love, so I believe that if you and this man were meant to be together you would be, God would make that happen, so perhaps he is answering your prayers by not letting this man back in your life. Consider it a blessing and know that life will go on without this man. Once you get through the hurt and anger, you will see that perhaps I am right and that God is right too.
Everything happens for a reason, now it is up to you to find out what that is and believe in yourself and YOUR love for yourself.
Losing a relationship is hard, believe me I have been there and thought the very same things, however that was a waist of time. God loves us all and knows what is best for us all. Try to find your faith and hope agin and things will start falling into place.
Take care of yourself and know that one day even tomorrow you will not hurt as much as you did today. It will get better.
Hi Mariam, Just a note to say I am thinking about you, and my heart goes out to you. I know it hurts and sometimes, lessons are painful.
Sometimes, our own ‘rules’ hurt us in the end, by trying to put love into a cage. I have learned this is a mistake. The moment I feel caged and restricted, my heart cries for freedom.
Just like a single flower or the sea – can love it, even live beside it, appreciate all of the individual drops of water. I can jump right in with both feet, take a swim, enjoy it fully. Maybe enjoy a walk along the edge, or sit back a ways to contemplate it’s beauty. But, Love is free. Love cannot be owned or kept. And sometimes, love stays for a while. When loving another person, I must also remember that one day we are going to part. It might be tomorrow, or next year, or 75 years later. This helps me to cherish the moments. But the love itself, lives on and on, all around and inside of me!
Praying for you Mariam, A heart FULL of love to All, Jane : ) xo
heartbreaks, moments when we are angry with god are excellant opprtunities to be religious.

hello Marian,
One awesome gift we receive from our Creator is free will..So yes you are free to feel the pain and to blame whoever for the pain you are going through.. But you mustn’t allow yourself to feel that way for a long time … He is not the only man in the world…If i were you , I would feel very glad that it’s only 7 years to put up with such a man … you now have all the time in the world to get to know the Image of God in you … Once you found, your anger and hatred will disappear…take care…oxoxoo
hazel..
Dear Mariam,
It has been my experience in such situations that, when God does not answer my prayers, it is usually for a very good reason and greatly to my benefit in the long run.
I will give you the example of when the man I loved left when I was three months pregnant, specifically because I was pregnant. I thought I would die. I prayed so fervently to God to change his heart and bring him back to me. But God did not heed my prayers. In fact, things went from bad to worse – soon, even before the baby was born, he was living with another woman, telling me that he intended to marry her and wanted nothing to do with his child. Time passed. Life went on. My daughter was born. Now, in looking back, the only thing I can say is, “THANK YOU, GOD, for not answering my prayers.” Although nothing on earth could have made me see it at the time, God did precisely what was best for both me and my daughter at the time – getting this man out of our lives and as far away from us as possible, before he could do more damage than he had already done.
If you are praying and God is not answering your request, you are likely the recipient of a GREAT BLESSING which you simply do not yet understand. In years to come, in retrospect, you will likely look back and see what a favor God is doing for you in NOT answering your prayers.
Much Love,
Savita
“All gods are one God, and all goddesses are one Goddess”
Apuleius
The Goddess was worshipped and in existence for 30,000 years, the Feminine face of God. A man cannot give birth to a child, so it was natural for a Woman to be representative of the Earth, she whose cycles follow the moon, whose body produces milk, and a child her fruit. She was worshipped and adored as Her representative in female form, and depicted with incredibly large breasts, large rolling stomach and in some cases open legs. Through her curves she represented abundance, fertility, pleasure, power, creation.
But many, many thousands of years later, the great male thinkers of the time removed a woman’s role in creation completely and immediately took away her right to be equal to a man. Aristotle believed that a women was purely a receptacle for a mans fully contained seed, in other words, a women played no part in the biological makeup of a child. He also believed that a woman was an imperfect man, Aristotle’s writing influenced Erasmus and Thomas Aquinas whose writings were central to catholic theology, as did the Pandora Myth (which was a corruption of the Gaia myth by Hesiod a known misogynist) on the early Church fathers who were formulating Christian doctrine.
This is why for me the role of women’s rights and the return of the Goddess or the Feminine Face of God to be recognised in society goes hand in hand, as with the decline of the Goddess, so too women’s role also declined.
I do not seek to criticise any individuals religious beliefs, but neither do I expect to be criticised for my own.
As a race we have lost much I believe, and perhaps we have forgotten most of all, that ultimately God, whether we believe is a he or she or both or none, cannot be understood by words, or even symbols but through Love.
With LOVE to you all
Pandora
Well said ;o)
Exactly the kind of issues i hoped to raise… thanks ;o)
I’m curious of this Pandora’s myth… shall google !!
In meantime, I’d like to mention here the story of La Mariposa ~ The Butterfly Woman – by Clarissa Estes..
it’s about the power of the woman’s body through dance..
[reproduced at link below]

Namaste Pandora,
Thanks for that. I’ve read a lot of people not wanting to put a face to the Divine, but I work to see the Divine in all Creation on a daily basis. This means He is Divine and so is She. Philosophically I believe the face of God is the United Being of Creation. That means that we are all part of the Divine Whole. Sometimes we don’t recognize the Divine because we can’t see past our pain, but the Divine is present nonetheless.
I read a lot of women novelists and listen to women song writers because they represent the Voice of She to me. Scripturally, She has been silenced or translated by He. Most people don’t stop to think about voice, but as a writer I must. Men think differently from Women because we have different dominant hormones. Neither set of hormones is better and both hold individual strengths and weaknesses, but together we make a balanced Whole.
If we have only His voice in our Scriptures, I believe we are out of balance. She gives Life. Attacks on Her are rampant. Rape is used as a military weapon. Witches are still being burnt alive. Clitorises are being removed for religious reasons.
Political structures should represent the populous. Religion is as much a political system as governments are. Where’s Her voice in these organizations? She’s beginning to be heard, but She’s still a whisper, or interpreted by Him for the most part.
I hope I haven’t strayed too far from the topic, but since I see Him and Her within Us, it’s hard for me to distinguish.
Love to you
Dear Hildegarde
Thank you for your reply to me. When is the moment that unity appears on the earth, as above as below? Is my dream, even from a little tiny child to see, peace on earth, Love.
It’s interesting you mention surnames, and I have attached a wikipedia link, which I found interesting to read.

I think our ‘image’ of God depends on our personal ‘needs’ at any given moment in time. This is understandable because God is complete in all things and is our “refuge and our strength”. Psalm 46.
For example:
If any man or woman feels lacking in masculinity/femininity and doesn’t find fulfilment, he/she will automatically see/need the masculine/feminine ‘face’ of God.
Similarly, if anyone has problems with a woman in their lives ( mother, sister, wife, lover ) they will see/need the feminine ‘face’ of God OR If anyone has problems with men in their lives ( father, brother, husband, lover ) they will see/need His masculine ‘face’.
When we open our hearts to God, we allow Him to heal our wounds and make us complete. Our needs change from time to time, so in effect, we all experience God in his TOTALITY, whether we realise it or not.
True.
Ich glaube es gibt noch mehr als nur männlich und weiblich.
Wir sind und bleiben sehr Beschränkt mit unseren Gedanken, weil wir nur Menschen sind.
Für mich Gott ist wie minus unendlich und plus unendlich und wir Menschen haben die Zahlen von 0 bis 9 bekommen, die wir immer wiederholen oder vermehren (758393754). Also wir haben nicht die Kapazität über diese Zahlen zu gehen.
Das heißt es existiert viel mehr Eigenschaften für Gott als wir denken, die wir nicht wissen.
Die Kirche ist auch nur menschlich und hat auch ihre Fehler. Jeder Mensch hat die
Fähigkeit Gott kennen zu lernen, indem er nur an Gott betet und um Weisheit zu bitten.
Ich bin sehr Beeindruckt von Ihre Bücher und genieße immer beim lesen. Machen Sie weiter so. Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Glück.
Dear Hildegarde
You have said it!
Isis is channelled through you, and You and She are beautiful.
Lots of love

We in India always use the feminine names followed by masculine names of our deities such as Seeta-Ram, Radha-Krishna, Laxmi-Narayan, Uma-Shankar……Even in marriage invitations, we write Mrs.XXXX first followed by Mr.XXXX….So, God is both in Hinduism….Given your experiences in the form of a discovery, that could even mean that Hinduism is the most evolved religion on earth…:-)
yes indeed it is !
but that does not mean other religions don’t have key to god ! and by the way there is actually no ‘hindu’ releigion as such. the name hindu releigion is given by outsideres. hindus themselves know their religion to be ‘sanatan dharm’ which roughly translates as perpetual way of being and conduct.

I guess finally I should write my small story – pure fiction inspired by tonights dream – and encouraged by the butterfly (“Pfauenauge”) the for any reason appeared in my living-room and rests on my hand now…
… lets say this is a sign.
Fiction:
It is the night before an important exam. I prepared a lot and I would like not only to pass, but pass as good as possible. This exam is about something that touches my heart… not just a knowledge test.
One of the testers is my first teacher, but we did not part peacefully…
I am nervous and I cannot sleep. So I decide to take a walk in the park (I am happy to live in a city where this is quite save – anyway I have nothing to loose but my life)
Walking a park at night always brings me closer to my fears, closer to myself, which as a result makes me calmer afterwards.
This time, in a dark part, there are lots of lightning bugs glowing and dancing in the night.
One part of me sees the beauty, identifys the bugs, says thank you father to show me such a seldom beauty on sucha day…
… then I hear my heart singing with the melodie of this illuminated dance…
… while thinking thank you mother for this song, i drift away with the sound …
feeling like glowing, dancing, loosing myself in the world to meet within my warm center …
… all is gone, all is there …
… thank you for still being there my child, to show me that unconditional love and trust can take me on this journey
…
I leave the park, I go home and I fall into a deep sleep. I almost fail the test the next day, though the tester I was afraid of does not take the test. But I do mind, as I know that not the result counts, but that I did what I can with all my heart.
__________
(Now, just as I finished, the butterfly left my hand.) I will not reread it, I will not correct. (The butterfly left through the window – the air is smelling like snow, it is cold…)
Thanks for your “fiction”.
Bernd, you wrote: “it helps me to understand that all writing about spiritual things is pure fiction, as the truth lies within the reader and not within the written…
The writer may try (or not) to write about personal truth, but words make it fiction with a different face for each and every reader…”
I think I read a lot of spiritual books showing the spiritual experience of a writer. and the words serve the purpose to relate to each other, to build a bridge. Of course each person perceives things differently, but this is part of our “common reality”.
Still, I would not call this “fiction”.
Using your definition:
the communication of pain: if somebody perceives pain and describes the pain. the words will try to reflect what the personal experiences. however, these words may not fully represent the reality of how the person feels the pain. still: you may see and hear the person’s pain. but is this also fiction because “the truth lies within the reader and not within the written…”
PS.
Pfauenauge = peacock butterfly – leo-dictionary has almost everything.
beautiful dream:)
In mysticism of hebrew language, just like that, every thing is simple in 4 stage.
1 is doer. 2 is object. 3 is neutral and is the relation of 1 and 2.
3 is the purest number but 4 is to concern to the next. That’s the whole rule. Worlds after worlds.
We saw it everywhere in two triangles that lie from top on eachother.
They call god he. Because in this mysticism everything is abstracted in 1. And 1 is manhood. To Me, God Is Everything. God is all of those numbers.
Namaste,
What if the doer is a woman? Is that still manhood? I’m confused. Sorry.
Love to you
I feel that God exists and it’s not important whether it’s feminine or masculine.Just feel the God Love inside yourselves.
