The Goddess Speaks
Mother Eve's Tale, Part 1
World Soul
The
Goddess Speaks
It
is time, and past time, don’t you think? Many men have worked to
create an amazing world, but they did it without women’s guiding
hand. And in the end, they've created death rather than Life. Now the Earth is
dying: her waters polluted, her air poisoned, her fires fierce and
destructive, her body ripped opened and abused, her people afraid and unsure.
It
is time, and past time, for women
of spirit to step
forward and reclaim our
ancient powers: to help
the old die and to
guide us into a new
birth.
Therefore,
I ask you to join me in calling on the Divine Feminine Spirit of
Life, who holds the feminine powers that we’ll need to
re-create our society.
Each
and every goddess
and heroine of legend
has had her story stolen by patriarchy. So now it is time for us to
hear their true stories, for these stories will give us courage to
face the future, compassion to help the world and power to accomplish
it.
Let
us begin at the beginning. The First
One, Mother Eve
wants to set her story straight.
Eve,
the Mother of Us All
I
look at my world and weep.
I
weep that my human children have chosen to be so cruel and
unconscious that they are killing my beautiful creation. I weep for
my healing waters and fresh air; I weep for the web of life broken; I
weep for all my children, dying so that a few might live.
For
those children who can hear me, I will tell my true story so you may
know what I created for you.
Eve
Speaks:
Don’t
believe all the stories you’ve heard about Eve,
Adam, the
Serpent and the Garden. They are twisted out of shape, just as part
of Adam is twisted and broken. What happened to Adam changed him on
a cellular level. Do you know that all my
human children
start life with 2 X chromosomes (female)? And that it is only after
a few months of
gestating that
one of the X chromosomes mutates into a Y chromosome (male)?
When
the Father of Lies mutated Adam’s second X chromosome into a Y,
Adam lost his innate ability to go within to connect with Spirit.
He lost his connection to the Source and cursed his sons to live in servitude to an outer god, rather than to their own inner Spirit.
Through
the millennia, my sons have struggled to find that Source within, but
most have seen it as sacrifice and struggle rather than as acceptance
and joy. And they have grown jealous of and fear my daughters, who
have retained their connection, for they are the Life-Givers. And so
they hid the Truth behind their lies, and now they believe those
lies.
It’s
time to set the story straight. Adam’s sons have tried to stop my
daughters from living by their natural connection to Source. Eve’s
daughters are still vilified, ignored, enslaved and abused around the
world. But now many of my daughters are strong, and they stand up
for themselves. They are acknowledging their connection to each
other and to Mother Earth, and they are again living from their
Source. They will do wonders.
Blessed Be!
That
is why we need to tell these stories – the stories of our feminine
powers, so that women and men will know their true nature. And
what is our true nature? Adam’s sons would have it be War. But
our true nature is Love!
So
Yes. It happened in the Garden. Adam banished himself from our
blissful existence. That part’s true. But that old story you grew
up with gives you a bit of the truth, but it points you in the wrong
direction.
Fake
News indeed!
I
am Eve, an avatar of the life-force of this glorious cosmos. I have
danced with galaxies, made love with gods and given birth to worlds,
and so I was sent to nurture a jewel amongst planets. I was sent here
to this
planet
to bring it LIFE.
Specifically, I was sent to Earth to create a GARDEN,
a place of beauty and grace and peace. It’s what I do best.
I
danced
the cosmic rhythms of life upon this planet, seeing
its potentials,
singing
LIFE
into
the dirt, the waters, the fires and the air. I woke the planet’s
energy body and watched it coalesce.
When
my Earth was born, She lit up the heavens with her energy.
Then
I began to channel Her energies into more life.
I
enticed plants to grow and thrive on sunlight, just as I did. I gave
them colors to play with and shapes to best suit them. And then
asked the trees to grow tall to shade us from the fierce heat of my
young sun. And it was good.
I
leapt and let the air currents sweep me where they would, dispersing
seeds, spreading abundant life. Churning the oceans. Refreshing my
Earth. I birthed my winged children to help. I gathered moisture and
wove clouds and danced on them. And it rained.
I
swam in the deep waters of Earth and gave birth to magnificent
children who knew how to go with the flow and when to stay rooted. I
blessed the springs that quenched my thirst with healing and delight.
And it was good.
I
traveled the lava roads, midwifing new lands from fire and earth.
Each land had a voice I listened to. I discovered what it wanted to
bear—forests and meadows, blossoms and fruits, deserts and plains.
And so it did.
Then
I blessed the holy ground I walked on, called on the rains, drew in
the fires of creation and asked the World Tree to gather us in Her
arms. To hold and sustain us, as She does with all the worlds. And
She did.
As
my Beloved Earth took hold of herself, I shaped my Garden around the
Tree, with sights and sounds and tastes and smells to delight and
refresh the senses. For the blessings of life are joy and beauty.
Thus,
I called forth the foundation of this Earth of ours – Nature, which
is a single entity, a unified whole. A living presence. And Earth
herself awoke.
Then
Earth gave birth to more children, for now she was a co-creator with
me. And it was good.
For
an eternity, I walked in my Garden with Strength and Pride, Subtlety
and Loyalty. You know their forms as lioness, horse, snake and wolf.
Innocence came to me as a unicorn and power flew over me in the
shape of a mighty dragon. Each being in my Garden was a source
of living light and knowledge, part of Earth’s dance of life. And
it was glorious.
So
abundant is my Beloved Earth’s imagination that soon my Garden was
home to every variety of Life that we could imagine and shape. Our
children came and went, learned to hunt, to couple and to die.
And it was all good.
Everywhere
I walked, I walked in beauty. All my children lived in beauty and
harmony, life and death flowing in cycles as we orbited our sun in an
eternity of bliss. But even bliss can deepen.
One
day as I walked alone, a sudden
wish
of my heart grew strong in me. It soon overflowed my heart and
filled me with such delight that I shaped it into a song. As I gave
it my voice, the song rang out into my Garden, a star burst
of energy, like the birth of a sun.
And
it was very
good.
As
my song filled the Garden, my Beloved Earth rose up and gathered the
song to Herself, shaping a form of clay and dirt, green leaves and
warm sunshine, clear water and soft breezes. Shaping her response to
my longing. Offering her gift to me.
The
Adam. My mate. My Green Man. He who would share this paradise with
me.
And
so we did, for many eternities. Surrounded by our living Garden, we
knew each other and all
our relations who lived
within
Mother Earth’s
sheltering arms.
We shared our blessings and
it was very
good.
Your
Genesis book turns the truth around. Their story says that Adam
named the animals and plants, and was to have dominion over them, but
that is not true. My beautiful Earth is alive and each of her
aspects has its own name. We are part of one being. Together Adam
and I communed in our Garden with the spirits of the trees and
plants; of the shape shifting waters, the rain, the snow; of the
8-fold winds, the divine fragrances; the wild flames, the secret
fires. The magic and mystery of this Earth was your blessing.
In
the Garden, we shared our essence and we knew our grace and
blessings.
Later,
I watched in sorrow as Adam put a name to their essence, locking them
into a singular form by the power of his newly acquired Word. Naming
was only the beginning. I watched Adam learn to dominate instead of
cultivate. My heart cried to see him so.
And
where did he learn that? From the Father of Lies. Oh yes, there was
a serpent in my Garden, but it wasn’t mine. He
came down from the heavens in his chariot of fire. When he stepped
onto my Earth, she cried out in pain. For she
felt his great fear and will to dominate the creative
chaos of
life.
Her
life.
And
so it was that Adam came to be tested. And
he chose
power over Love.
This
cosmic being
came to test, to dominate, to destroy. If he could. You
know him by the name
of
Yahweh, the
demi-god who calls
himself – I
AM THAT I AM.
He came and seduced Adam, with his tricks and illusions, his ideas
and delusions.
When
he first appeared, Adam
was wary of him. He didn’t trust his smell.
And I told him truthfully what I knew from
other worlds.
That
Yahweh
is a
demi-god,
a cosmic principle, shaped
on
a desert planet, harsh
in judgment, jealous of his power, eloquent in his use of words. He
is one
who travels the galaxies looking for followers. He lives off their
energy and they keep him alive. Your Christian Gnostics knew him as
such.
Yahweh
bewitches
with Words – in
the beginning was the Word and the Word was God-- spoken
with power. He told Adam he would teach him to create in a new way –
with
words of Power, and by
the power of Naming. He
promised
him a
new
magic, one
that would give him power over life instead of just creating life.
He
seduced
Adam and
captured
his heart with
the desire to Name,
which
Adam was already
beginning
to discover on his own.
But instead of growing into his new consciousness naturally, he
allowed Yahweh
to
force
his
growth.
Yahweh
did it by stealing one of my apples and offering it to Adam. He told
him I was keeping a great secret from Adam, a power I refused to
share. He created a division in Adam’s heart, and whispered lies.
And finally, Adam believed him. And asked for Yawhew’s blessing.
Yahweh
mutated
Adam as he ate the apple until all that he heard within
was
– I
am that I am,
I
am that I am, I
am that I am.
The
Father of Lies
enticed Adam to go against his own
nature
– he
commanded Adam to
stop listening within to the voice of Source.
And
to only
listen to Yahweh’s voice. And
to Yawhew's rules. I
am that I am. I am that I am. I am that I am.
Adam
listened and obeyed.
He
destroyed
the Balance.
Truthfully,
this
is the original sin.
So stop blaming it on me and my snakes.
This
wound has been passed down to Adam’s sons. This
is the Fisher King’s wound and only the Grail – Love – will
redeem them.
It
is my hope that my daughters will help them heal this mutation, this
wound. So they can reclaim their inheritance, so
we can all heal this wondrous Garden.
