I don't think you would be at all surprised to learn that I find myself coming back to your writing most often during bouts of insomnia (as I'm currently experiencing), as of course it's a sacred time of the day (well, night) and I think the veil is a bit thinner. I ended up subscribing after reading this post because I felt drawn to comment. I appreciate all your writings so much- they have helped crack open my consciousness on my healing and spiritual journey. At first I may have been a bit skeptical but now I find myself saying "well, why not?". I am a woman, and one who has chosen to be child-free thus far in life. I was not brought up in any religion but divine conception has actually always been an "irrational" fear in my life. As in, if my period seemed to ever be too late I'd start to be a bit anxious that that was a genuine possibility/thing to worry over/fear (since, in these instances, I wasn't having any sex and certainly wasn't wanting a child). It's a pretty strange thing for an otherwise quite tied to the rational woman to worry on ... divine remembering perhaps?
What an excellent point! I know so many women who have been anxious that they got pregnant even though they hadn't had sex 😅 I won't lie: that irrational fear has crossed my mind too, after one or two late periods. I can totally get on board with that being a genetic memory.
There's also the phenomenon of "hysterical pregnancy," where a woman will go through all the physical symptoms of pregnancy (including a growing belly!) but ultimately it turns out... there's no baby inside her?! Of course, scientists have concocted theories about how the body can hormonally trick itself into feigning pregnancy, blah blah... but I have wondered if this might be a "spirit pregnancy" where the baby is unseen because it's not a physical baby. 👻
Anyway, thank you so much for reading and commenting 🙏🏽 I'm really grateful my work inspires you to consider new possibilities!
Oh my goodness, Dom, thank you so much for subscribing, and for taking the time to write notes before responding. That means SO MUCH to me, especially in contrast to the rude, hasty commenting that some people do. Taking the time to respond to something I took my time writing is such a gift, and I appreciate it tremendously ^_^
That is beautiiiffuulllll about your past life memory. Wow. Thank you for sharing that. And I completely believe you about knowing someone who was immaculately conceived.
But ouch, it's actually painful to hear that your ex-friend's first response to the story about immaculate conception, was to "rape" the story.
Perceiving the Holy Spirit as evil, is characteristic of people who are lost in darkness. A Bible passage I cite often is Matthew 12:22-32, where Jesus performs a miraculous healing in front of a crowd, and the Pharisees immediately accuse him of getting his healing powers from the Devil. Jesus then warns them that if they blaspheme the Holy Spirit (by calling it evil) they will "never be forgiven, in this life or the next."
I personally interpret that to mean, they can't ascend to higher realms/dimensions/states of consciousness, until they accept that they're perceiving the Holy Spirit, which is purely good and innocent.
Now to your question of why men exist... Men are SO purpose-full. I truly see men as potential gods, which I wrote about in my article "God is a Man" -
I suspect (and this is only a semi-developed theory, so bear with me...) that a man's sexual fluid, when directed INWARD and UPWARD through the spine and into the crown chakra (as opposed to outward and downward, through typical ejaculation), is effectively alchemized into a "Philosopher's stone" of sorts, becoming a sacred substance that gives him, quite literally, god-like powers -- but perhaps most importantly, sexual self-mastery endows him with WILLPOWER.
Just take a look at any grand cathedral or temple from the past, and you are looking at MALE WILLPOWER in action. And I'm not suggesting that men's purpose is to build things... but that these elaborate buildings (manifestations of sacred geometry, cymatics, and light), are merely a *glimpse* of what men are capable of when they're overcome the temptation to be enslaved by lust. They give beauty and structure to the world. They lead. They support. They create coherence. They are heroic.
Women and men have the potential to complement and harmonize with each other as goddesses and gods. But both parties first need to conceive that those higher possibilities exist, at all.
Thank you so much for reading deeply & sharing encouraging commentary, as always ^_^ I absolutely agree, humanity has been very effectively programmed against our own power. But we shift the narrative one ripple at a time in these deep waters.
Not rude at all. But in truth, I don't see much value in responding, because you state quite matter-of-factly that parthenogenesis is simply a metaphor, not meant to be taken literally. This indicates to me that you're not "open" as you claim to be.
How did you arrive at the conclusion that immaculate conception is only a metaphor? Especially given the fact that some female animals have (verifiably, literally) given birth without having sex? and given all the historical anecdotes, from all over the world, of women giving birth by parthenogenesis?
Also, side note, as I now have some significant experience with fasting myself: I find it peculiar that your first instinct upon reading Laurie's story is to suspect fasting of triggering "hallucinations." How, then, do you explain the countless people who hallucinate or experience psychosis, but eat typical diets?
What would it take to convince you that parthenogenesis is a literal potential that humans have, and NOT some hallucination?
By the way, I just want to follow up on my earlier comment to say that I'm not trying to be antagonistic. When I said I don't see a value in responding, I meant that your matter-of-fact dismissal of parthenogenesis left no "opening" for me to respond, because it sounds (via text on a screen, anyway) like your mind is made up. This seems to be a case where we have a fundamental disagreement, or diametrically opposed approaches to the same topic, and are therefore very unlikely to change each other's minds.
But as I stated in the article, you're very free to choose a reality that does not include parthenogenesis. I don't know how I would convince you it's real, anyway 🤷🏽♀️
Aria, I'm genuinely disappointed by your choice to ignore *every* single one of my questions in your long-winded response, and then end with such dismissive, passive-aggressive curtness. I was being more than civil to you.
