Guest guest Report post Posted July 26, 2004 Spirit and Matter Naturally the Spirit is in concern with Heaven/God and Transcendence, while the Material is connected with the Earth/Universe and elements. The Spirit is masculine in nature, while Matter is considered the feminine-aspect of the Supreme. Earth is always considered to be the Mother/Goddess in all ancient cultures, = Ma (tter). Religion is mainly focused on the spiritual aspect of life, which is masculine in nature, and consequently religion is usually against the material aspect (especially MA gick/ Ma ya) - which is actually, in a pure sense, is being intune with the Universe or Earth(material energy). Ancient cultures, which might be called pagan, were most concerned with the material, occult, natural cycles of the universe, and the Goddess/Mother was most important. Along with the masculine dominated perspective of life come the masculine mentalities such as dominance, controlled religion, war, hierarchy, logic, etc. Whereas the Feminine-Goddess cultures were connected with peace, proper use/knowledge of the Earth, and free _expression… In modern day religions, and their followers, one finds a dominating energy of control, which is natural when only the Spirit is in focus. This mentality of being against Ma (terial) energy (Ma ya/ Ma gick) leads to a suppression and abuse of the Feminine, on all levels of internal and external / individual and collective. As a human race we are once again remembering the Goddess. It is important now for those who are following a spiritual and religious path, to also too embrace Her, and a truly peaceful movement will begin to reign...
