Questions For the Heart and Mind
1. Which manifestation of Sophia do you most identify with and why?I would figure the one most visible to us, Her appearance as the Virgin Mary. She is present in peoples prayers, in visions, even when something appears to be her, be it in a tree, or a sidewalk, crowds gather...looking for some answer or reflection of God's light. I wish we could see more of her in Her Black Goddess stage, We desperately need this spiritual power and truth and justice, in our unjust world. But the Bible has been suppressed, and any mention of Her has been changed or the Divine Feminine is not understood by Churchgoers. Moon power and feminine Divine are seen as something pagans would adhere to.
2. What significance does the Sacred Marriage have for our 21st century Western society?If we could further examine the "Song of Songs" and perhaps Jesus and mary Magdalene's roles (were they married?) we would see the good, holy side of sexual being. To me, sex is the ONE way we can be Godlike, being able to connect with another soul, and in union, create a new life!!! Yet, sex has been seen as wrong, unclean, used as dirty pornography. We have bastardized something wonderful. If we showed the Divine as a couple, and showing that sex would bring us closer to God/Goddess, wouldn't that be a good thing? Just read Thunder Scripture to see what the Divine feminine has to say..
3. Have you ever experienced the "descent of Inanna" in your own life? What were the "veils" that were stripped from you? What was the result?
I suppose a 'veil' could also be your title, or job. When my job was, at one time, removed, i was told I was no longer needed in the company, you felt, shock, shame, fear. The 'veil' lifted from your life made you wonder what you would do next. In the case of a Job, it made me brush myself off to look for a new employer, and possibly a better one.
