Q:  I'd like to talk about the Sacred Feminine. Now I don't quite know why we're calling it 'Sacred Feminine' when we never talk about the 'Sacred Masculine'. And actually that's how my question came up since what I really would like to ask is how to balance the Sacred Masculine within us.

 

P'taah:  Very good question. All right. One of the reasons that the focus for you all has been on what you call Sacred Feminine--and of course there is no difference in Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine--is simply that this cycle, the cycle that you find yourself in now that is coming to its closure, has been, if you like, patriarchal. This has been very much the idea that God is masculine, the figures of power are masculine. In your society that which is masculine is more dominant. 

 

So those who have been struggling against this patriarchal cycle have really put that which is Sacred Feminine on a pedestal higher than Sacred Masculine because what they are desiring is a change and transformation. 

 

We, in our speaking to you, will say Goddess/God rather than God/Goddess because you are moving into a new cycle. And what it means is not the diminishment of the masculine, but rather the coming into balance of masculine/feminine, and that which is stepping back into the honoring of Sacred Feminine as Goddess energy being the womb of creation. 

 

And so in this idea, it is certainly so that the womb of creation is quickened by that which is the balance of the masculine. Without the masculine, there can be no quickening of the feminine. Where it all falls down, and has done in the cycles of man, is that it is a pendulum swinging from one to another and unless there is a balance between the two, then there is always disaster. However that is the way that each of you, in your hundreds and hundreds of lifetimes in the cycles of humanity upon the Earth, have created it, for the experience of it. 

 

Now the desire is to experience it differently. So in real terms, in your day-to-day existence, that means making sure that all things are honored. And when you honor yourself and honor each other as Perfect, Eternal Expressions of the Eternal, then this balance can be achieved. The basis of it all is honor and respect for everything and each of you are moving into this idea that Goddess/God, the Source, the All-that-Is is within everything. 

 

Certainly you are created in the image of Goddess/God, but so is everything else. So is everything else. And as you can honor all creation, every facet of creation, as a Perfect and Eternal Expression of the All-That-Is, and honor each other having been created indeed from the Divine, if you like, so you change the matrix so that this balance between Sacred Masculine and Sacred Feminine is achieved.

 

Q: Could you explain? When you describe Sacred Feminine, I sort of feel an understanding because when you talk about the womb of creation and everything we are more aware of it now. But I don't really understand what the masculine is. Could you put the masculine in those sorts of terms so that I could get a clearer picture?

 

P'taah: The masculine is the idea, if you like, the idea that joined with the feminine brings forth a result.

 

Q: Hmm. (Laughs) We really are God/Goddess here. We are talking magic again and it's hard to put into words ....

 

P'taah:  Indeed, we are talking magic. And so it is within each one of you. Let us, for instance, say that which is the heart, that which is the emotion is feminine. 
 

Q: Yes.

 

P'taah: That which is the mind, that which is the brain, if you like, that which is the ideas, that which is the going forth, that is the masculine. And you may indeed say that the masculine was created, that is the mind was created, to be the servant, to fulfill, the heart. To go forth and create that which makes the heart sing. Does that make sense to you?

 

Q: Yes, indeed, although in all of our mythology, of course, it was the feminine that was supposed to have been taken from the masculine, not the other way round.

 

P'taah:  Well it is not so.

 

Q:  No. This is where Christianity turned everything on its head and told us that the feminine was there to serve the masculine, not the other way round.

P'taah:  That is correct.

 

Q:  I had a thought this evening when I was thinking about this question. We refer to the earth as Goddess and in fact in many ways because of the sort of nurturing and the birthing and so much abundance and fertility, I can see the feminine of the Earth. And I wondered if it was due to that that mankind kind of went into the masculine so strongly to counteract feeling powerless in the feminine, you know, on Earth.

 

P'taah:  Oh, beloved, that is the whole story of it all. Why do you think it is that in certain cultures upon your plane that women are held to be dangerous creatures that must be masked and covered and not allowed to be seen? What kind of power do these women have that that which is the masculine are so afraid?

 

Q:  Yes, I wondered and is it just that they are a mirror of the very power of the Earth.

 

P'taah:  Indeed, indeed.

 

Q:  But the Earth itself must be both, mustn't it?

 

P'taah:  But of course, beloved. And in every facet it is that which is masculine and that which is feminine must come together to create new existence. But it must be a balance.
