This is the conclussion to "Caution Reader Discretion Advised!" My apologies to anyone who may have been offended by this discussion, because that was not my intention. While I mentioned men throughout both discussions, my reference was specifically to fleshly man, not spiritual man. The duality of man is such that he has the propensity for both spiritual or fleshly behavior. He becomes his own answer to the proverbial question, "are humans fleshly beings having spiritual experiences or spiritual beings having fleshly experiences?" It all depends upon what direction he allows his ego to take him.
So in regards to our discussion on the travesties being committed against the feminine gender of mankind, I believe it would be the height of narcissistic naivety for me to in any way suggest that I somehow hold the magical missing piece of the puzzle. To the contrary, I believe that opened minded spiritual men {this includes woman} would place it upon their hearts in deep reflective meditation and respond accordingly.
For my portion I will say this: although foot binding was finally outlawed in China in 1911, I believe we still "bind the feet of women". Women across the board are paid less than men for equal work. although in many cases a woman is better qualified and has attained a higher degree of education.
Society is set up where women in many cases are forced to depend upon men financially. Many men use their position to impose a dictatorial style in their relationships where women are forced to cook, clean, and have sex as an obligation, and not as a means of mutual gratification.The only difference between physical castration and emotional is the actual cutting of the flesh.
We as a society continue to tell our daughters about morality and the proper behavior of women, yet we also tell our sons "atta boy" when he is out courting young woman[somebody Else's daughter].
I think we should wake up and realize that the way things has been for thousands of years is a self-proclaimed "mans world". Men wore the pants and called themselves, "the king of the castle". Women have never been treated equally and are still not treated and respected as equals. With what results?
Men are solely responsibility for leading mankind into every major war ever fought in human history (don't try to drag women into this, she was in the kitchen cooking your meals and saying "yes dear", while we were sending her babies off to fight our ego driven wars).
Quite simple quantum science: "what we do even on the smallest level have a profound effect upon the whole microcosm".
As a spiritual teacher I could no more turn my back on the inhumane injustices committed against women than I could discrimination and racism or any other kind of injustice. All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men remain silent. Our own human bodies both male and female, testify to a balanced structure of the universe namely that both yin and yang should be balanced within ourselves as well as the in the universe. If this fundamental, elemental understanding cannot be understood, then how can we understand spiritual things? If we do not to some degree gain control over our own carnal desires, how can we ever have hope and attain a true spiritual brother hood? If we cannot learn, teach and follow the simplest tenet of spirituality, "thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife", then what part of the problem are we? The spirit transcends male/female or perceived race or culture. If we cannot honor and respect the female portion of the human family then what of the famine portion of the creator?
'“God is the union of all the energy in the universe, feminine and masculine, yin and yang . . . " And now, as we step into the Age of Aquarius, the good principles of all spirituality will be preserved and expanded upon in this golden age of spirituality. The beautiful and profound messages of the past will bloom in the new conscience of humanity. Women will take their place beside men as equals . . .
But the challenge for spiritual teachers is to adapt to the changes in people, to recognize that the meanings of the holy books are open to all of us, will crush some of the world’s most powerful disorganizations and force them all to change forever
In conclussion I might add that as the testimony of history confirms we should never underestimate the power of the human spirit.The human brain has evolved to such a level that scientist have actually discovered the formation of new neurons .showing mans adaptation to the changing circumstances of his environment .The unified field has already documented success in lower crime in some regions,as well as controlling the weather! by means of the power of collective consciousness ,In the circle of love we have developed the construct for vehicles that operate on 100% renew ables energy.The world is changing and so are we if we allow it.We have seen that many children,are being born with inert hyper communication abilities {research]
the Indigo children]The only limitations we have are those that we self impose.The arc of the universe is long but it is bent toward justice.As we strive for global unity and respect and honor of the inevitable rights of woman.We are also protecting ourselves from the karmetic Rondevue of our own actions or lack there of .
