ISIS: the Divine Feminine.
Re-edited 1/12/2016
A Spiritual Women's bookstore in America, named after a Goddess, ISIS, has been repeatedly targeted with violence recently.
We need to remember the past, in order to become aware, so that history will not keep repeating itself.
Onc upon a time, those in power, took a life-affirming symbol and co-opped it to represent their political agenda, and the original meaning of the symbol was forgotten (if it was ever known to begin with by the masses) with the passing of time. Most people in the world came to see the swastika as a symbol of evil, but nothing could be further from the truth. Hitler bastardized a life-affirming symbol and used it to represent his very misguided personal quest/ambitions.
This is what the current "powers that be" are doing now with the goddess name: Isis.
We need to stop the suppression of the Feminine that has gone on for the past two thousand years, by educating the masses to the fact that this name, Isis, which is synonymous with the Divine Feminine and all that is life-affirming, was chosen by those in power to become synonymous with evil in the minds of the masses.
It's part of the Modus Operandi of those in power to re-write history by taking the folk/indigenous/spiritual symbols of a culture and change their meaning; by taking a symbol of light and goodness and turning it into something bad, something to be feared. This way, over time, people stay away from, forget about, and lose the magic: the power and strength that the symbol represents. And when people cease to understand the inner path of connection to the source of that power, when people cease to KNOW that they themselves ARE the Source of that power - this is called giving away personal power and allowing ourselves to be led around by the nose like sheep, and when this happens on a mass level, people are easy to control and reality is created FOR The People, instead of BY The People. Masses of people are literally "buying" into this reality that is "being sold" to them.
Historically, The Church, Royalty, Empires, and Governments have demonized and annihilated anything or anyone that has the power to threaten the status-quo, that threatens to take control out of the hands of those who will stop at nothing to maintain control.
The Church did exactly this when attempting to convert Pagans to Christianity. The Church "Fathers," those who took control of the church long after Jesus had left the planet, co-opted the Pagan's Horned God and called it the Devil, so that in time, all the things that were good and natural, that were associated with the old religion's Horned God became evil, bad and wrong in the new religion.This is one of the more subtle, pernicious ways to take power away from the people.
Fortunately, we are entering an era in history when Women and feminine ways of knowing are making a resurgence. We must be doing something right if they fear the Feminine enough to, once again, systematically try to demonize what is good, beautiful, natural, and empowered. The attack on the bookstore and the demonizing of The Feminine is just a more subtle, insidious version of burning women at the stake.
Everyone please share the knowledge that Isis is not a terrorist group, but a symbol of
Divine Beauty and Truth.
And please note, carefully, what was actually attacked in this instance. The true terrorists did not attack a "terrorist cell," but a Women's spiritual bookstore. Women, and feminine ways of knowing, have been under attack for the past 2000 years. The old Regime, the corrupt old boys club, the old-school ways of being, doing, and thinking: those who are experiencing their last gasps of power before total annihilation, are the ones who are perpetrating these attacks because they know the status quo is breaking down and dying.
Just like an animal that is in the final throes of Death, terrified and raging because it is experiencing the hyper-real awareness of its own death,
these attacks are the desperate signs of Dying Power.
And where there is decay and death, there will be a Re-Birth.
